After reading through some posts it seems SCO works for $500 reloads?


this would be my first time doing $500/any reload, do I just scan the card and there will be a prompt I select to reload the Discover debit card?


I won’t be hitting the system too hard, mostly to get rid of my vanilla gift cards I get randomly as gifts instead of using them on Amazon

No it cannot. You are confusing this with something else.

Any definitive answers on Simon Sutton/Incomms? Seems like they don't work for full swipe as of recent?

BAU today for me. 1x 500 load each at two different WM locations.

Thanks for the DP. I assume Simon MBs don't work?

From what I understand MB's have a 500 max but I have no firsthand experience with that

Why do you need to request replacement? Your card got hacked?

Did you do a 1000 load on Saturday?

Nope. I was well within the timing/rolling limits. In fact, the MC CSR was kind enough to say "First card was fine, second card did not go through" (since I was attempting 1000 via 2x500)

Because, as we've often seen an attempt at a full drain and a decline means your card has been locked and despite Vani's CSRs telling you otherwise, it still is even after you call. Which I confirmed via an attempt to reuse the card for $5 on AMZ.

So you can just call Vanilla and they can check that the card is lock and you can request a replacement card? I assume when you try to find the balance of your Vanilla VGC, it gives you an error and automatically routes you to a fraud specialist?

It kinda sucks that they just assume your card has been hacked just because you try to do a full drain. Can anyone confirm that if Vanillas are declined at the register that means your Vanillas (PW/IC) need to request a replacement and can't simply use a small purchase to validate the purchase?

A few days ago, both VGC and SS sites (but maybe same network) refused to let me check balance, etc. Kept getting the "System error occurred try again later". Lasted pretty much the entire day. Then really early the next day, it was working again. But today it was very sporadic. Sometimes I'd get the error, sometimes it would show me the balance.

Phone system was always working though.
