One WM nearest me the MC POS just can't work for me (0.5 second jump to
signature screen after swipe), but another WM's money center works (the
normal 2-3 seconds screen change, plenty of time), but I only loaded BB
lately, no MO in 2 weeks (since Vanilla load change) because my 2nd AA EXE $
10.5K minimum spending already reached about 11 days ago. |

发帖数: 633 | 17 I used metabank visa from bestbuy and giftcardmall, but after selecting "
debit load", swiping the gc, and entering the pin (the last 4 digits), it
still asked for pin and "_ _ _ _ _ " showed on the screen of the keypad.
Then, no matter what I input, it just kept asking for the pin. Anyone knows
why this happened? Is it the machine that has issues? Thanks. |

发帖数: 8496 | 18 if you want to do Walmart load or money order, don't use this card. failure
probability is too high to bear. You don't want to ask cashier to swipe
this VGC again and again and again. I would rather spend $1 more and use US
bank VGC. |

directly, USB card can easily got loaded by the cashier. If you use
Vanilla, always use the moneygram ATM, because it will be many failed swipes
which will upset cashier. |

发帖数: 8496 | 20 WM and Kroger in April, depending on how thick your face skin is. even at
that time, WM MC clerk knew exactly that we were swiping VGC, not bank debit
card.
My face skin is thin so I stopped especially after seeing one MSer who had a
big deck of GC (at least 30) loading bb/buying MO,and he did not care that
5 people waiting forever behind him. He probably was proud of himself of
being able to buy and use VGC like a millionare. |

为什么我在family dollar柜台swipe card时transaction老是被decline啊？ |
|
z****2
发帖数: 1618 | 22 这些你自己知道就行了，不要告诉小二使用的是GC.
1.把蓝鸟/Serve给小二，告诉她/他 I want to reload my card.
2. 小二刷你卡，问你充多少，你说你想要的数目，200/500. 然后小二让你在POS机上
确认充值金额。点confirm/Yes
3. 按照提示在POS机上刷卡，输入pin, in your case, remember the last 4 digit
before you swipe your card. Do not read your card while typing, not
professional.
4. (1)显示approved, 拿卡拿receipt走人
（2）人不多/脸皮厚，can I load another 200/500, 然后重复1-4.
（3）declined,我没遇到过，尝试什么cancel大法之类的，不行走人，去找family
dollar. |

发帖数: 10288 | 24 for GC, I guess cashier has to swipe it on her/his side.
Maybe staples updated its system.
Some facts:
1 At least in the old days, you can buy gc with staples gc in store.
The T&C of staples GC prohibits this, but POS could go thru.
2 If the manager wants to help you return a GC, a GC can be returned. :P |

not bad even when compared to those MSers who can earn $2000+ from old blue

发帖数: 17878 | 31 interest charged on outstanding balances - this is where the credit card
companies make a killing. unlike mortgage or car loans, credit card debts
are unsecured, so they charge much higher rates of interest
interchange fee - every time you swipe your card, merchant pays the credit
card company this fee, but ultimately consumers foot the bill
all kinds of fees - annual fee, late fee, cash advance fee, etc. |
