The ID verification did not work early in the day, but is fixed already.

I HAVE:p....I've kept up with this thread from the beginning and have read every single post.

Me.

Great....purchase 1.5k in OV at cvs today. All shows activated on the receipt. But 2 were not. Now I had to open a ticket with Incomm..

Two of my normal VGC cards balked at WM today (no not the tender issue), I logged into vanillavisa and the money is there and happy, so is this just a bad day issue? Wait and come back?

Thanks!

Was anyone able to buy normal VGCs yesterday during the glitch? I ask b/c I went into CVS to get 3 OVs. I had forgotten about the glitch but when it happened, I luckily wasn't surprised. The cashier refused to do multiple transactions though b/c he had gotten talked to last week for doing splits for me. (The other manager was standing nearby and said something.). So I thanked him and told him I would go to the CVS down the street.

However, I remembered that 7-Eleven is on the way to Wal-Mart. I went in there to grab 2 OVs. They both rang up but then the second one faulted and cancelled out that half of the transactions. I was only able to buy 1. I wasn't sure if it was a faulty OV though so I grabbed a second one and had the cashier redo that.

So my question is - is it possible that the external OV-system was having issues loading multiple OVs instead of a CVS specific ID scan issue? I mean the issue always happened AFTER the cashier rings up the second OV which of course is when the ID is scanned.

Nice to hear some 7-11s are not cash-only. Your credit is no good on the local ones over here.

Yep no issues. The cashier was initially concerned that OVs would be cash-only since some other items are. But I knew they weren't and she had no issues trying anyways. Sorry to hear this news for you though. 7-11 definitely makes for a great way to spend $1500 during Freedom gas category.

Back in the VR days, 7-11 often limited buyers to one $500 card per day. This was something in their system - the second card would fail to activate or similar. I never found a way around it, and it still exists for GC's in my area.

My guess is this is what you ran into. You could always try again when there are no broader "glitches" out there.

Thanks but I've done more than one as recent as a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it could just be a remnant of times past.

OV is a normal VGC. there is nothing special about it, just a different design on the package

By normal, I meant non-OV. Are these by different companies?

No, they are all issued by the same The Bancorp Bank and all distributed by the same Incomm

Same here, yesterday purchased 8 VGCs at CVS at just after 7 PM ET. Only 1 card did not activate properly. Opened a ticket with Incomm this morning.

How do you see if the card is not activated properly? It does not show a balance when u call in or view online?
