They are actually SS MC gift cards, not VGC. The first on the second row. Are the MC working too? Here is the picture of the gift rack. Are those colorful VGC working as the old GD VGC for MO at Walmart?

In the past MC's required a work-around. Now there's little incentive to find out, b/c VGC's are plentiful, and none of them are blocked at the moment.

I tried SS (Visas are also sold in many Walmarts), Vanillas issued by Sutton Bank or Pathway Bank. All of them worked for MO's. The only difference from the old GD -- the new crop of cards will accept any PIN at first use and save it.

A local Walmart had some green dots left, I tried to buy one at self-checkout, and another at a register, and both failed.

Those three vanillas in the bottom row: YOU'RE AWESOME & CONGRATULATIONS & THANK YOU work fine if they say 'issued by Sutton' on the back, but some places have those exact same fronts, but they say 'issued by Blackhawk' on the back. Kiss of death.

I think they are in the process of removing all GD VGC. After I started this post couple of days later I found few GDs on the shelf, so I bought 2 and they are having an activation issue. I have $1000 bucks stuck with GD and numbers on the receipt is matching with the card numbers. I have opened a case with GD and they are working through the problem.

As good a reason as I ever have seen for avoiding these cards.:o

They removed all the leftover GD VGC in my area. I guess WM is getting a better deal on these than GD. The sad thing is no matter which variety of GD VGC you buy, they all work at WM. With these, you have to find the “right one”, and there are only a few. They can easily block those as well.

Happy birthday in white is issued by Sutton, will it work? or you left it out on purpose? As along as it says issued by Sutton then it should work in WM to get MO. Correct?
What other methods are available to load money in WM? serve, bluebird??
