Horrible, incompatible with my online purchases. A complete and total waist of time

I am trying to accomplish a simple task one would think... Upgrade an account on an online game. simple enough used one of these silly cards last month on it, struggled but finally did it. So now I get more of these cards as gifts and try the same exact things as before and nothing works... I get advice like try switching browsers, go inprivate and try, and on and on try searching for a solution on google and you get the run around asking if your trying to use it in a salon ? get real here... in short I really hope something changes soon because if times money you owe a lot of FREE gift cards to many people that have had to suffer because of this silly garbage you sell... get your *** together ***

So much for my gift card!

I got a $50 gift card from on of my students and I can't use it! The website said there is an issue with my card and to call customer service but of course there is no one to talk to at customer service. This is the worst scam and so awkward to tell the parent who gave it to me!

Inactivation

Bought a 200 dollar Vanilla prepaid mastercard at Walmart they charged me 6 dollars and 50 cents to activate the card but when I tried to purchase something it always came back as declined. So I went back to Walmart for a refund or another card, they refused to take the card back and told me to call this 1800 number and speak with someone at mastercard. Now Mastercard was pretty *** they told me to file a case where I had to photocopy the front and back of card and mail it in along with the receipt of where I purchased it from in order to get a refund which could take weeks if ever. Now what kind of *** is that? WalMart and Mastercard should be sued and held accountable for stealing my money. So I either get my refund or another that works or I go back to Walmart and take 206 dollars of goods. The choice is yours Fuckers!!!!

Fraud department. I get why they do it, but I personally called and told them the purchases were mine.

Furthermore, provided documentation of my ID, card, and even SS card. A week later, after receiving all this, it’s still locked! I’m nowhere near my limit.

Cust svc reps all say they see everything is verified. What the ***

Card does not work at all.

I had recently bought a prepaid mastercard, when I got home I tried to go check to see if it was activated (vanillaprepaid.com) and it was declined. Nothing strange there. I waited a few more hours, and tried again. Declined. Hmm, I thought, I'll wait a few more hours....

Unable to contact and do business with Vanilla.com

Update by user Nov 09, 2018

Vanilla MasterCard eventually responded to my inquiries and gave me the $69 payout that I had coming. I became pissed off because of Vanilla's unreasonably long avoidance of the matter and not advising me of what was going on. After sending more than one angry...
