One Vanilla MO problems...
Hi folks. Today I tried to purchase some MOs using One Vanilla cards. The first transacation was for $2K. the first three cards went thru fine. The fourth woudn't work. I tried two more OV cards, but neither would work. Had to bust out a "real" debit card.
Went to another store and tried to purchase MOs with some other OV cards. None would take. FWIW, I purchased 5K of OVGCs in a single transaction. These are the cards I was trying to use. Has this happened to anyone else? Did the Vanilla company recognize these unique numbers were all just purchased moments before, on a single transaction? This has been my typical MS pattern with no problems before today. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! |
Possibility that the barcode strips on the cards are bad, call in and verify the balance. Chances are you will need to Amazon Payment them....

When that happens I reset the PIN online, then go to my local supermarket and buy something under a dollar and set a new pin on the pad. Then go and buy the MO.

I couldn't get cash back for my $1 debit purchase at Wally's using a VGC today.

I just did 7500 in money orders today at Wallys with OV. No problem. I am going to cool off though. Because I don't want to piss off either my bank - or my card issuers.

Not sure on timing, but typically OVGCs need about 2 hrs after purchase to be fully activated. I've had the same problem as carsonheim when trying to liquidate right after purchase. A couple OV cards work but a couple didn't. The non working ones worked the next morning.

How do you set a PIN for OV online? I've always used any 4 numbers at the keypad. Never a problem.

I haven't had a problem with unloading within 30 minutes of purchase either. Done 6 OVs this week so far without a problem

I got 99 problems but a One Vanilla ain't one.
