For those of you who MS, reports on flyertalk and /churning that meta VGC(simons, staples, etc) are now be declined at the WM MC for MO/Serve/BB. It seems to be related to the Blackhawk backend network. Proceed with caution.

You guys there is something going on in the MS world... I did 2 $400 loads this morning, tried this afternoon and received error 56... I have $1,600 in VGC from staples today.

I have to get the dog from the groomers this afternoon, going to go back to the first WM to try again there.

Oh interesting - I just checked and the two emails I got are the amounts for my Nov 2019 and Feb 2020 checks.

I just got the November one too, to go with the Feb one I got earlier.

I loaded $100 from Kroger and $200 from OD/OM this morning, but do have $800 from Staples sitting here needing to be loaded. Hoping this isn’t permanent.

It looks like it's only Walmart that being affected by this, FD still okay. But makes you think that we always need a back up plan.

Agree, which is why I only buy $1k at a time and immediately liquidate...if FD is affected and I’m going to assume at some point it will be, I can use the $1k on organic spend.

$35k in tacos will feed you for months!!

If they changed your flight the window is probably open...have you tried to make a change online ?

I can change, but not for free. I only received a "your change is confirmed" email this morning with no options, just the confirmation.

Ebates is acting odd. My big fat check is supposed to be $31.87. First I got an email saying my check for $14.87 was sent. Then I got another one saying my check for $157.13 was sent.

Glad you said something, I was wondering what was going on with my account since I haven't used it in a while haha.

Selfishly, I'm glad it's not just me finally lol. Mine haven't worked for two months.

We’ve got an ancient no-AF Capital One card that we’ve had for almost 20 years. It was our primary card and got tons of use until y’all introduced me to the wonders of Chase and URs. Since then, it’s literally sat in a drawer gathering dust. I don’t want to cancel it because I know the age of that account helps our credit rating. Lately, though, I’ve been wondering if I need to dust it off and make a few transactions a month with it, just so Capital One doesn’t close the account for inactivity? Is that a legit worry? I was thinking I’d maybe make it the payment card for Netflix or something, so it’ll have a small charge every month, and I won’t have to remember to use it. Would that be enough? WWYD?

Capital One closed my WM card without notice for non-activity.

I bought several Simon VGC recently to pay off our home equity line. They are not working at our Kroger. I have been to 3 Publix and get a different response at each one, but was successful at 2 of 3. I can always pay taxes with them, so I am not worried but things always seem to go south just as I start!
