yes, you can

Hi, I was able to purchase GD VGC at my walmart today, but couldn't liquidate for MO at walmart. Then I called up the number behind the back of the VGC and it says card number and lat 3 digits are not a valid combination. Does that mean that my card it not yet active? How do I check if it not active?

if viewing previous comments, need to wait at least 30 min to 1 hr after pur

Thanks, I just checked the previous comments.

It was me. And finally, the issue is resolved. I submitted CFPB complaint, they rerouted my complaint to Federal Reserve and last week I received a call from Greendot corporate, who said they will issue a refund for the other 2 cards. I didn't receive a check yet, but I'm confident.

Cash or debit only for VGCs at two Walmarts in Portland, OR. This is clearly part of the same crackdown that's hitting multi-card MOs. Walmart is tired of gifting us CC rewards by losing money on transaction fees on low-margin financial instruments.

So which gift cards should we turn to now? I've avoided online GCs because I don't want them to get lost in the mail. Are there any that have security measures like activating them with an authentication code after they've been received? Also, why are people using MCGCs despite the extra complication?

Check out the MS topics for ideas. The most popular are at the top, but there are others that might be worth reading.

dead! yday tried it again at the same store...spitting out paper showing cash/debit only

Can anyone provide dp on whether the hard coded cash/debit on green dot vgc also extends to vanilla vgc? I've purchased vanilla vgc post register update, but it wasn't at my normal store so I don't know if the store I purchased the vanilla card was just behind on its register update.

did it work for u at super or ns store?

tried both gd & vani; spit out the same paper...all's dead at my store yday

Regular walmart.

asot, so ur WM still take CCs for VGCs?
any other folks r still able to buy GD at WM? if so, i may need to venture to different stores & test out...

Nope, still dead here both super WM and NM.

My usual walmart sc did not allow gdot vgc by cc as of 7/26. Previously no issues. I went to try a vanilla vgc yesterday but they were all out. I may try a vanilla mcgc today though just to complete the dp on that particular store. I liquidated my first vanilla mcgc yesterday so I'm more comfortable buying them now.

I was outside my normal area last Friday and happened on a walmart (non-sc, non-nm. Just plain "walmart) so I tried to buy a vanilla vgc there with cc and was successful. Unfortunately I've never been to that store before so I'm not sure if you are able to buy gdot vgc there.

I don't personaly have a complete dp (both vanilla and gdot) at any store yet, though I've seen reports that the no cc ban extends to all gift cards once the store receives the update.

Just tried to purchase a vanilla mcgc at my usual store and register was hard coded. This confirms the dp that once a store gets the register update for gdot it extends to all forms of gebit.
