I know people mostly come to these reviews after buying the product, and I feel your pain. Its an 100$ giftcard that I cant use, endlessly tormenting and taunting me until the day I die. I even tried linking it to other payment methods like apple pay, venmo and even the nearly broken website that is google pay, but nothing worked. Ive tried everything! I double checked what I typed, I checked the money in the account, I READ THE HELLISH AND UNGODLY CRYPTIC TERMS OF SERVICE. I’ve been through so many god forsaken websites trying to use this thing, in vain. The amount of suffering this teeny tiny plastic piece of plastic misery has given me has radicalized me. At this point, you might as well give whoever your gifting this too hard cash, because somehow, this giftcard cant do the one thing it advertises itself on: being a usable debit card. Its legitimately frustrating to use, because despite advertising itself as the equivalent of virtual debit card account, 90% of the online retailers I’ve visited refuse to take it. I hate this thing with a blazing passion I would never in a million years EVER recommend this giftcard service to anyone. It's not okay for them to keep me away from my money when the issue with the card is on their end.I have anger issues now! Thanks Vanilla Gifts! I'm going to look into that class action lawsuit while I continue waiting. She transferred me and I've been on hold now for 58 minutes. She said it would take 7-10 business days and that's all she can do. I told her I needed my money so they'd need to overnight that new card to me. She then said that the card cannot be reactivated twice and they would have to send me a replacement card. She told me to speak to her more professionally. I told her that I absolutely did no such thing, that I never clicked a link and that my card was never reactivated. After being on hold for 32 minutes, I spoke with a woman who said that the card was reactivated yesterday but since I clicked a link to a bad website the card was locked again. He told me it would take a few minutes and that he couldn't wait on the line. I still continued to get the error message. I typed in the correct url and tried to check the balance several times while I kept him on the line. He then said it would take a few minutes, but assured me it was reactivated. I told him I wanted to wait on the line with him until I could check my balance on the vanillagift website to be sure the card was working again. So, I called customer service, was on hold for 38 minutes, spoke to "Howie" and he said he reactivated my card. I read a bunch of reddit threads so I knew not to click any links on google, but instead type the correct website into the browser. Here's what I'm experiencing with my VanillaGift prepaid visa. Either way, it's a real hassle and something seemingly changed in just the last week or two. ![]() I hope this is some kind of temporary issue with Visa, not some new change where most major vendors now refuse to accept gift cards for payment. Like OP, I also find it crazy that no one seems to be talking about this issue here, on Steam, even Quora or other question/answer sites :/ I definitely checked to make sure the cards had a full balance and even made an account on the Vanilla site, thinking maybe I could register the gift cards to my account somehow (I know you used to be able to register a gift card, but I see the option nowhere on the Vanilla website presently) Since I couldn't find anything about Vanilla gift cards suddenly being declined, I was curious and tried using it for multiple different transactions and every one of them was declined. ![]() Yesterday I tried using a recently purchased Vanilla card and Google declines it, so I tried a different Vanilla and it was declined too. I literally used a $100 Vanilla card last week through Google, everything worked like normal.
