Anyone else having issues with these today? Tried to use them at WM and a local grocery store, about 3 out of 4 failed with a timeout error, a few did go through so I was able to pay for one round of MOs.
Btw, the failure was from cards across batches from last few days, so it must be a communication error with the vendor/bank.
Update: I checked the card balances on those that filed and they're not even found as valid cards, the same happened for ones that went through for sure. Must be a computer failure on their end.

Issues with giftcards.com gc's today as well. Aren't these cards all though Blackhawk? Maybe they are having network issues today.

A few of the cards worked fine. The fact that they don't even show up as valid on their website (even ones that worked at WM) indicates a big IT fail on their end.

I'd worry if that is the case. $$$$ thousands of dollars missing on a blink of an eye. Wow! It's like a Sci-Fi movie.

The website is at least working now, and all amounts show correctly. I'll try to dump a few cards tonight.

Chase whole system was down for extended hours, actually over a day last year.
Just last week Wells Fargo system both online AND in the branch went down intermittently for multiple days last week.
So in your mind all the money in these banks system are missing on a blink of an eye, just because some system failure causing total failure of communication? Seriously?

I don't think it's a matter of losing money, more of losing an avenue of ms
