As I mentioned in the KR thread, the credit was even errored. I'm not sure who is blocking.

Except BB is not Discover :(
The question isn't whether your gebit is bad, but where the problem exists, in the transmitter of information (WM) or the receiver of it (Discover)
The question is whether Discover is blocking loading its card using GCs or is WM. Can one load a Discover debit card at some other place other than WM? If there is, the answer is to load the card outside of a WM with the non-functional GC. if it loads, then the problem is WM, if not, then it is Discover.
You already proved that the GC card worked on BB ;)

Last Sun or so, I tried to make a MO at a WM. Didn't work. I called the USB CS to see if the card was blocked. They saw the declined transactions. There is no problem WM transmitting the information to the GC company.

is it possible that USB itself is blocking the card for certain txns, and the problem is neither WM nor discover? sorta like the BHN issues?

have you guys tried a smaller load such as $200?

There is nothing wrong with discover. USB card might be a problem. Just loaded discover with the vanilla and SSVGC without any trouble.

Not USB. I was able to unload USB at FD. The problem is WM with USB.. who issues the vanilla and SS and was it for $500?

Several months ago, I accidentally put $50 on the $500 VVGC on USB from Kro*** and purchased it. I just tried at WM for loading Discover full $50. Went thru.

I see your point. It allows me to swipe USB and type pin only to telle debit not available..others have stated it's also not working on MOs at WM. Which tells me it's WM. What would be a true test is to use USB for items ..

Ok, then they shouldn't assume that discover is the problem here. Doesn't matter what the issuer is, only "serviced by" is playing the big role here. Cards were issued by pathward and BHN but they both serviced by Incomm.

Only if you make the purchases using debit and not credit.

For full $500 drain, that's been done. I tried to convert the USB VVGC to Stu**** at a WM. $5.94 in cash + $500 full debit drain a couple of day ago. Failed. After that, I tried credit. Still failed.

Datapoint -was able to load to discover at WM with SSVGC. This confirms, to me, the issue is with usb and wm

I just reported this at the Kroger thread, but it's not just WM+USB combo.

Where are you all finding SSVGCs? I checked 2 WM locations, nada. Only found the Vanilla Holiday Pathward VGCs

Regular GC rack, separate from the Holiday GC rack.
