Where can I purchase a my vanilla reload pin for my via my vanilla card?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Agents are excellent but limited in action.
  • - The helpline notification is outdated.
  • - Reload-card locations must be verified; Alberta lists Walmart/7-11.

your customer service agents are excellent but their hands are tied by how little action they can take. When you call the customer service helpline you get an eight year old notification.

This very much needs to be updated. you also need to verify where a person can purchase a reload card the first two recommendations you have on your website walmart and 7-11, where i live in Alberta. They looked at me like I was crazy. They had no idea what I was talking about.

And I felt extremely embarrassed.

not to mention very frustrated.

and back to your agents I was at a store, trying to purchase a reload card and because I was using big bills, the store came up with a fraudulent warning so I couldnt purchase the Reload card. I talked to your customer service agent explain to her what was going on and I think that to better your business your agent shouldve had the opportunity to override this fraud notification, she could tell that there was some kind of an error, but theres absolutely nothing she could do to fix it

User's recommendation: this is a very convenient card. It can help rebuild your credit, but it needs some updating to make it easier for the people that use it

Card is not working

AI Highlights
  • - I bought $1000 in Vanilla Visa prepaid cards.
  • - None of them work here and I can't access the balance online due to a site error.

Currently on a trip to Europe and before coming here I bought a 1000$ worth of vanilla visa prepaid card and none seem to be working here. I can't even access my balance on the website because when I finish entering my info and enter it says there was a problem and to try another time.

Loss:
$1000

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

User's recommendation: Don't buy a prepaid card and bring your credit card. The number doesn't even work in France so I can't get costumer service and it was hard to find an email. DO NOT recommend
