Asked to cancel transaction and start over -- I thought maybe the POS couldn't handle 3 swipes so I would just go back and swipe Card 3 or 4 since they had enough for the full transaction.

Card 1: refunded and locked
Card 2: refunded and locked
Card 3: denied/locked
Card 4: denied/locked

Had to pay with my regular CC lol

And then the worst part is when they all came in the mail, I went to use Card 4 which had $500 on it on my utility bill--I have had success on this many times--and it got locked again.
Easy to avoid this. Don't drain the full $500. Even $499 should be no problem.
