Smile Still working for me...

Unloaded a OneVanilla and one of the Safeway US Bank $100 MasterCards via Ribbon today. Both registered via Zip Code before using them. No issues.

Do you have a friend/family member with an account that you're able to send to?

I was able to connect a VGC to my Ribbon account without an issue, but I think I need to send money to somebody rather than just cashing it out.

Cash out via credit card

I just got my Ribbon account but I see that you can cash out via a bank account OR a credit card. Has anyone chosen the credit card option? In other words, place the funds BACK into the credit card account used to purchase gift cards?

Also, why would you need another Ribbon account? Is it more advantageous to SEND money between two verified accounts as compared to using the http link to your account and sending money to yourself using a gift card?

Thanks

I wasn't able to send money to myself. I needed a second account.

Just got my registration invite from Ribbon today. I think my tactic will be to use it to liquidate GCs but set up with one of my AP partners to do an A->B->A. Verification was pretty easy and didn't even require full SSN.

Verification hung for me when generating identity questions, presumably from public records. I also wasnt able to connect any GCs.

GCs don't work. Also the person sending you money doesn't have to have an account.

Bummer on the GCs. With the 3% CC fee seems this might not be the most useful tool.

Just a heads up guys, it seems like they do not like Mastercard. After a month, they told me they could not process the transaction, said there was suspicious activities. I am wondering if this is just an isolated case with Mastercard.

Did they originally give you the money and then take it away or was the transaction pending for a month?
