Issues with Prepaid Gift Cards
« on: June 16, 2024, 01:12:03 AM »
Not sure best thread for this.

Having issues with different prepaid cards recently.

Bought 4 vanilla Visa gift cards at stop and shop. 2 worked on first try, one didn't on many tries. At first full balance was showing online, then gave message error. Called, said card needs to be replaced. Never got it. Called today, said they sent it, but will send again. 4th one didn't work tonight, and getting error message online.

Also having issues with regular visa and MasterCard from staples, also issued by pathward. Some not working online, and getting error message when checking balance online.

Also, sometimes last week when going into giftcardmall website, is automatically redirected to giftcards.com

Also, recently came across two cards that had less than the original amount (200) loaded. Been using these for about 10 years without issue, suddenly many issues.

Anyone having issues as well, or have any insight?

They made me replace 2 recently. Highly annoying that I wasn’t able to use it on the purchase I planned, but thankfully the new ones showed up.

I assume registering them beforehand may help.
