View Comments (20)

  • My local Safeway removed the remaining MetaBank cards and put up tons of Vanilla cards.

    Vanilla Visa did NOT work with Pay1040 but worked fine with PayUSAtax. Any other datapoint with Pay1040?

  • Those Vanilla with fonts "A GIFT" are $5.95 so I wonder who would buy those $6.95.

  • Only one out of the two stores in my city have updated. I bought 3 $500 cards today. CA

  • I was wondering why my Safeway had taken down all VGCs. I don't see the vanillas yet though.

      • Saw a few in Mountain View a couple of days ago. Be very careful with the Vanilla cards because they don't have secure packaging. Easy to have a fake barcode slipped in. Got scammed recently. Fortunately Incomm replaced it quickly.

  • BofA bill pay is an embarrassment. I think that happened to me, but I called in and got the charges reversed, so will be interesting to see if I get a piece of the settlement.

    • Tell me about it, they are still withdrawing 25 from my bank account for a biz CC they canceled without asking me. It's been about two years. Weeks later they send me a check..so i get a monthly check from BOA.

  • BoA e-bill is the worst. I narrowly escaped having to pay interest but it was a huge time sink to set up properly.
