TIA
On the back of the card in very very small print is the bank and servicer information.

Gotcha. Yeah I have a Pathward/BHN . So I guess I need to spend this normally then.

Just for reference: the Staples VGCs - are those also Pathward/BHN or Pathward/Incomms?

You can use pathward BHN to buy Incomm VGC at WM SCO, of course there are fees but it is another option

My DPs to start us off:
  • All InComm/PW brought at brick and mortar lock up with a fraud lock if I run them for full 500. Have to call CSR for a replacement card. Started around the EOY holiday season 2023.
  • InComm/PW bought at Safeway or CVS gives Debit Not Available at CS for $499 since June 2024. This amount was working before. Works at register for $199/swipe max. Haven't tried $199 at CS/MC
  • Confirmed a new InComm/Metabank card worked at CS for $499, so this seems to be a Pathward issue. Have seen other DPs along similar lines.
Sailor Joe, do you know if the the BHN MC purchased at Kroger works for $499 dollars at Kroger? I know $479 works.

Pathward/Incomm Visa always works for me at WM. Just dont swipe more than 3 cards at the same register at once. Once a card is locked, the only recourse is replacement.
Pathward/BHN Visa everywhere card works at WM but some weird limit depending on the day or time I havent figure it out yet. These cards dont get lock up so you can try again at another time.

I avoid MC no matter the issuer or processor. They are just trouble.

I did try a single Staples $200 MC for a load to One card at cashier at WM and it worked fine.
However, this is a single DP using one card for one load at the cashier.

will not work. I typically get similar ones from Lowes with my Citi SWWR home improvement offer from Lowes and they never work for anything >$479.

They have been working quite well for me. The visas do not work at Kroger any longer. I wonder what happened. The Pathward/Incomms are at CVS. My 5% cash back kicks back in August. CVS is scheduled to close by the end of the year in my state though.

I had one card decline too many times (the auto-cancel terminal restart kind), and card locked up. After remembering reading somewhere InComm got old bins from Russia I could dispose of the card by setting a Russian billing address and spending it down. Its still so stupid when you think about it

That's incredible considering that the cards are suppose to be good only in the USA
