Blacklisted for buying exactly two $500 gift cards seems a bit harsh but oh well, I'll just have to figure out another way to purchase gift cards with no fee or at least a very, very small fee.

Thanks for the confirmation. ^

I am not blacklisted and I was told the limit is 1k. That's it. I went to a Midatlantic branch yesterday. I belong to another AAA but had no problem with the No Fee. I asked why is it only 1k as last year I purchased 5k. I was told too many people bought too many cards last year and AAA lost money so they imposed limits for everybody.

Wow dang that is brutal. Mine was for I think $5k or $5.5k total but spread over six months (which was still on the low side compared to some).

I bought last year for 1.5K, promotion has ended, I didn't know, they made me stand two lines fill lots of paperwork and at the end they said that promotion ended few days ago, it wasn't posted in this tread so I didn't know and paid the fees.
It's nice to hear about nice AAA employees. In the NYC Columbus circle office everybody was extra rude. Thought they get bonuses for that
The question is without going, is there a way to learn if I got blacklisted by Meta?

Its ridiculous, if they gonna blacklist for 1K let them write it somewhere so ppl wont buy more than 1K

I've posted on this thread ages ago, but my blacklist seems to have been reduced. Background: I bought $8k in 3 weeks or so in late 2013 in NoVa. In subsequent attempts since then they would not sell to me, or my wife (she bought $100), period.

So last week I went in to try again. I asked for one $75 card as a test. Apparently there were notes in my "record" about my previous transactions, and the first rep I spoke to couldn't process the transaction - said he needed manager approval/override. The manager came out and approved the transaction. Both he and the rep thought it was weird since my previous transactions were two years ago (really 18 months). The manager mentioned that the issuer controls these tightly, but two years seemed silly.

So, I am alive but it does not look promising. FWIW I'm going to use the $75 card for regular spend and see if I can clear my good name ;).

Well, it looks like I'll be on the honorable list soon based on the blacklist reports. Did one $2k and then $3k the next day. Will try again next month.

complain to the mgr that the AAA staff failed to update this thread about the promo ending, IMO

This is a limit - not a blacklist. They had a limit of $1k in Nov/Dec, too. Just b/c they're "flagging" a account, doesn't mean that person has been blacklisted. It just means they pulled up your account and you've reached your promo limit.

But maybe if people think they're blacklisted they'll stop buying, which means more cards for the rest of us! :D

My purchase of 2 $500 cards was 12/27/14. That was my only AAA GC purchase ever.

My next attempt (the unsuccessful one) was early this month which I thought was a different promotion since the winter promotion supposedly ended many months ago.

I suspect he is blacklisted because the lady mentioned there is a note in his record and the fact that it was many months after his last purchase. If my local AAA lady is to be believed there is a now a note in my AAA record not to sell me prepaid cards because of fraud concerns. That said I always recommend folks go test the waters. Plenty of folks have been blacklisted vs. hitting limits. Since limits started being enforced it does appear that blacklisting has gone down considerably.

Ran into issues with those cards today. I already set the pin and was using the correct one but received "incorrect" pin issue. I called to reset the pin again but still didn't work. Tried both at Kate and cashier.

Just wondering if anyone had the same issue.

Has anyone in the Boston area been able to get them recently?

No fee VISA GCs till 6/30. Not available online

I went to the AAA branch here in Nashville. Unfortunately they sell no Visa gift cards there.

I purchased 2 $500 VGC online for the first time ever through AAA (I was actually looking at options for currency conversion when I stumbled upon the option). I bought the cards and activated them yesterday. Unfortunately, AAA sent me unloaded cards - balance of $0 on each even though they charged me the $1000. Now when I call the back of the card, they refer me to AAA. But when I call AAA's number, it makes me enter the 16 digit number before speaking to a human and I can't get past it because the system doesn't recognize the cards? I really don't want to trudge to a branch. Any options? :confused:
