$400 is the magic number. 1k is still going thru at some Walmart. I assume that haven't receive the software update or just slipping thru the crack. Anything is over 400 is coming back as code 5 or 56. Shows "Alternative Payment Method Required" on the reader.

Question: I know in-store Simon has not been earning anything for Amex for quite some time, but how about online? I order single $500 cards from Simon and GCM for AU spend whenever Amex send me an offer and I earn both the base points and the AU bonus. Does that mean it’s safe to bill order from Simon online? Say for the current Amex spend $6500 three times offer?

I called Simon customer service today and reported that I was having trouble using my VGCs to make purchases at Walmart. He said they are very much aware of the issue and looking into ways to resolve it. He said they're aware its an issue at WM and at some grocery stores. He advised to try swiping multipe times as it seems to be a "random" thing where it will go through eventually after enough tries.
Anyways, I thought that was hopeful that at least Simon is trying to get it fixed - may not be a lost cause forever.
