Vanillareload.com (and associated sites) down? Master thread.
Since this site seems to be down more often than most, I thought it would be useful to have a thread where we can track it before panicking that we got shut down. 
As of now, it does seem to be down.

That might explain why my vanilla gift card purchases couldn't activate at store an hour ago. Walgreens just undid the transaction but CVS let it go through and receipt said activation will occur within 24 hrs... a couple years ago I got that and it never did activate, had to fax proof of purchase to Incomm first.

Not trying to be rude as I like the idea, but sometimes it helps to hit up these sites first. Just in case someone hasn't heard of it: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/

It is all in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...bird-help.html
If you'd call Vanilla, they now have a recorded message saying "If you had a cancelled transaction, don't call us, you won't see your money for 7 days. Call us only after 7 days. In the mean time, we are using your money to make profit. It is our way to fight back vs FT people".
I am not kidding. Please feel free to call & verify.
