Does not work anymore, is dead..... what is the point to report 'not working'?
As of 08/25/2014, Bancorp cards (Vanilla Visa, OneVanilla, etc.) are rarely working first try for debit transactions at Walmart. There is no apparent geographical basis. Basically, it's a crapshoot.
Do not agitate a cashier or store and lose the ability to make these transactions in the future. Multiple failed swipes or transactions will likely increase scrutiny. You do not want that. It is best to stop using these cards.
Vanilla VISA defaulting to credit
As of 5/29/2014, at most Walmart locations, all Vanilla VISA cards issued by The Bancorp Bank are automatically recognized as credit. Most Mastercard have required a workaround for some time. The MoneyCenter Express (ATM, kiosk, Kate) is not affected by this change.

I think it should be relatively easy to liquidate 2 cards without much problem. You don't need to be so mad at yourself.

Dang...
I tried to liquidate the three One Vanillas I have at two different Walmarts today. I tried a kiosk and a cashier. No success. Where are you all liquidating them if not at Walmart?? Can I use them to buy a Vanilla Reload somewhere?? I can not believe I didn't check this thread before buying more!! What a shame. Can anyone help me out?? I have read pages and pages of this thread, but am at a loss.

Three?
Worse comes to worst, regular spend, evolve, etc.
Not a huge deal unless your floating in the 5-6 digits...

This is the easiest way to do it, for sure. Even if u don't have the PP debit, buy the reloads, load them to your account, transfer the money to your wife's account, and have her transfer the money to her bank account. A one time transfer like that likely won't shut her down from PP, just don't do it again.
