Start slow and build your level up gradually to avoid FR.

Being from NY I find his data point helpful. It's been reported here that some WMs are asking for ID at any amount so that fact that he can still buy w/o ID <1K is good to know. There's no need for snark here, we get enough of it trying to MS.

Has anyone gotten "DEBIT NOT AVAILABLE APPR. CODE= 01" before? Popped up in the last 2 days using gc.com mcgc (no issues ever before last 2 days.)

01 is declined by issuer.

Card is active?

That was my first thought, so I re-activated them. Nothing shows up in the activity section that it was declined. Only three initial balance load shoes.

it’s user error - either cashier or you. App doesn’t activate the cards - is that your error?

Sirry, I don't follow. What does "App doesn't activate the cards"

For GC.com you have to activate before use. Have there been DPs of cards not activating?

It seems weird since I tried twice over 2 days with 2 seasoned csrs and 2 different terminals. I've not had this happen over many months of bau.

The problem isn't depositing MOs per se, it's multiple deposits under $10K in a 7 day period that then exceed $10K that can then be deemed "structuring". Chase AML folks hate that.

Keep your deposits over $10K and you can deposit as many MOs as your heart desires.

Yes. Had this exact error code just start 2 days ago. Per the Wiki, it's "01 = Refer to card issuer. The merchant must call the issuer before the transaction can be approved" But that doesn't make sense.
