As much as I wish this was a glitch, I fear it's the end of GCs to BB. (And, if I had a way of only letting helpful posters read this, and block it from the "I got mine, you get yours, with no help from me" posters, I absolutely would. The purpose of FT is to be HELPFUL. For you pros who have benefitted a lot from these forms of MS, good for you; but saying "it was hard for me, it should be hard for you" is just plain selfish.)

This is nothing new. people for months now have had this told to them. Some WM just enforced it more then others. Useually only at the money centre while it was business as usual elsewhere.

Well we have had a few datapoints where it didn't go through. So this is useful information.

What are you talking about? Read the posts!

The post I quoted referred to all USB cards not working..I asked if there were more than one person reporting that all USB were not working.

Why is that not germane to this thread?? Why jump out and criticize without thinking.

Try to add to the discussion. :rolleyes:

So you are saying you went to WM today and loaded your BB with a VGC today which is what this thread is about. Or, are you just trolling?

VR is not a VGC

But if you can load BB with a VR it still gives an additional option.

Yes, I know that. that's why I asked if he/she was trolling as this thread is not about VRs, it's about VGCs and using them to load BB.

Since a VR isn't a debit card, it would be surprising if it stopped working (online) for loading BB. Now if only they were still easily available this whole thread probably wouldn't exist...

You 100% can still load a BB with a VR but you cannot purchase a VR with a CC at CVS. You there for have to pay cash for the VR which is not a manufactured spend move. You also do not need WM as you can load your BB online via VR.

Look up at post #777. The mall GCs aren't Vanilla that I know of.

There was some speculation there is a Bancorp/incomm issue at wm/bb, not a debit issue.
