It may be local/regional random extra monitoring they do if there's an uptick in people draining them, or cases of fraud.
Were these the "Holiday" version of 40975823 (Pathward/Incomm)? Cuz there are actually at least 2 different 40975823 versions I've run across. As seen in the pic below, the red Holiday VGC can't be liquidated anywhere that I've found into MOs (I finally unloaded it into my Utility acct just now as a debit card). The standard VGC on the right can be liquidated into MOs at various stores including WM, used at WM SCO, etc. Both of these are Pathward/Incomm and were both bought at WM (in the packaging that has half the barcode on the packaging and the other half on the actual VGC). They sure are making the game hard for us these days.........
