This error only means your gift card was declined by the machine. For over limit, your debit is approved, and then at the final step when it should print receipt, it will cancel the whole transaction.

Are you sure? When the load itself fails there's also a little slip that prints out indicating debit not approved (which in this case means loading the debit card) so it can look similar to a GC decline.

Same.
- Bought Vanilla 409758 issued by MetaBank, serviced by InComm on 02/09 from Speedway using Barclays Wyndham Business Earner
- Bought banana at WM for $0.26 on 2/11
- 3 minutes later did 1x swipe for $499 at WM MC on to Discover debit (no issues)
- 3 minutes later split payment on WM SCO for remaining $0.74 on VGC.
I'll try to do a 2x $499 load later this week

You have quite a friendly cashier if they are willing to accommodate a $0.74 swipe. Nvm. Just saw SCO.

1. I don't think it's the same. $500 swipes are much better if you can do them
2. More importantly, how was the banana?

my vanilla cards dont even work to buy a banana

its a joke

Received a pathward-SS replacement card with remaining $300; activated then loaded full amount; lol, got a dna error; will try 298 tomorrow

after >24hrs, an attempt to load for $298 didn’t work either 🙁... PITA

The banana was delicious.
Yesterday I returned for the successful 2-swipe load.

1. No bananas were purchased/harmed in this experiment prior to load.
2. Successfully loaded $998 onto ONE using (2x) swipes of $499. Used GCs with the same bin mentioned above.
3. Auto-drained (2) $1 remaining balances on GCs by purchasing a bunch of bananas at SCO, and paid remaining balance w/ Discover debit.
4. For those interested: the SCOs I've been using are the new diagonal swipe variety with the attached triangular pen w/red stripe
5. I'll try (2x) $500 later this week.

Interesting, are one loads free?

Yup, there's an entire thread devoted to ONE: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manu...terthread.html

That said I know of NOBODY who's hit the ONE card hard for a long period of time that hasn't been shut down. Nobody. It's not a matter of if, but rather when. And their customer service reps are horrible, English is a second language for all of them.

Well, interesting DP.
WM1: MC-rep who say my SSVGCs: Sorry, we can't to that anymore. New memo circulating.
WM2: Vanilla (Meta/Incomm) +SSVGC (Meta/Incomm) went loading just fine for 1K (500+500), Tried another load on different Discover account, 2x SSVGCs for 500 ea, and got Debit Not Allowed- Code 57

was another or 2nd load at the same register? If so, may have hit the velocity limit regardless of Sutton or not

Yes, same register and back to back.
These were all Meta/Incomms.
I haven't had a problem with them at this location (WM2) doing back to backs ever....but I suppose it could be velocity.

Hopefully those 2 cards are not blocked now. Guess I will know tomorrow/Saturday

decided to call in before a 3rd attempt but darn it was told that they have to mail another replacement vgc b/c the card is now locked after a 2nd declined trxn 😒; now will have to wait another 7-10 days...

How did folks liquidate a pathward-card replacement? Still need to spend less than full balance or make a small organic spend first?
