possibly what OP asked is the vvgc or the ovvgc. don't think safeway has the latter, but it does have 1 or 2 with a bin# different than the 4097

The next day, both cards worked. Given the 45 minute interval between one card working and the other not, I surmise that the activation delay was around 1 hour or so.

will try again to BBs later today; my previous purch in the wk were successfully loaded to BBs in less than 1 hr

Precisely why I haven't tried.

Got a “Not Authorized” message for the first time today, using Staples MB VGC to buy MO at my local Vons. Guess that means the end of an era of MS for me, and time to find something new. Bummer, it was nice while it lasted.

Pretty sure Vons is only in SoCal and a bit of Nevada, so consistent with earlier reports in that area.

damn strange about my SS cards... so 24 hrs after purch, 2 went thru BB but other 2 still failed; decided to retry at another WM and again failed; then went to Kroger, swiped but display showed 'not authorized'. Had previous SSs but didn't get this many failed attempts like this time; not sure whether those cards stopped working after many failed attempts, guess I could try again tmrw...

other than SS, do folks know any particular vanilla consistently liquidated well to BBs? I haven't tried the vanilla go at safeway... do those work well for ya'll folks? Thx

The US Bank variables from Kroger/ King Soopers worked fine at WM last I checked.

Strange
I just loaded money to both Go and Visa BB using a SM VGC without issue at WM.

I can't imagine that SS is blocked.

How are you able to do that? Under $99 per swipe? Aren't the Simon cards blocked at virtually all walmarts now except for credit purchase?
