Authorization Request
Location: USPS PO xxxxx xxxx PAY
Status: Invalid Cardholder Transaction Type

So anyone know how to unload them these days since I haven't been in the MS games for years. Thank you!

I haven't done Simon in years. Are you saying you had the choice at Simon mall to pick the issuer of the VGC - Meta or Sutton?

We purchase vgc at a Simon mall (meta-blackhawk) and never had problems clearing. Go to WM loading smaller MC games through VBB and all is smooth...loaded maybe a 400. Try to load 499 and denied - tender not accepted. Take it to a grocer and tender not accepted. Check out the card and balance is 1k. Did clearing these change? Also ok to pm.

Hi Guys,
Back after a long time. After the Albertson's in California started limiting the Simon Mall 1000$ GC to only 99$ drain per swipe, I stopped buying Simon Mall Visa cards and switched to CVS Vanilla cards (VERY expensive hobby). On the downside they are crazy expensive at 5.95$ for 500$ card but can drain it all in 1 swipe (and that way I am still welcome at the Albertsons store for doing 6 swipes for a 3k Money Order!!).
Just wanted to check if Simon Mall Visa cards (or any similar variation with lower fees) are usable again at Albertsons or Walmart that does not restrict to 99$ drain per swipe and at least allows 500$/ swipe.
Thanks again in advance to anyone kind enough to respond.
