Verified ReviewerVanilla Mastercard - Be careful when purchasin
I purchased at Vanilla Master Card on Sunday, Dec 1st at a Couche Tard in LaSalle and asked for a $100 Card for travel to Cuba on Dec 3rd...reason purchasing it was to have it for the Duty Free Shop or any other small store... The store that I tried to purchase a small item less than $10 said it was declined...The person working at the store was nice enough to call for me to see what the problem was...It ended up being a long procedure and I had to catch a flight...I was extremely upset with all this stress...

Vanilla Mastercard - Contact BBB
Hey I'm someone who got the same problem of an unauthorized transaction but if what you say is true contact BBB and issue a complaint and they will help you. As for my case they helped me get my amount of money back and I'm thankful for this and I'm just trying to help others.

I had similar problems. I can no longer use their website at all since 2019.
It just shows a spinning graphic. So avoid them like the thieves they are.
I now use Paypal which works just fine. This way my money stays in my bank until used.
