      I have two hotel incidental transactions that are currently on hold for 11 days as of June 30, 2021, for a total of $240, I am a long time MyVanilla card holder and the longest hold in this type of situation has been 3 days, while the shortest is right after check out. Obviously there is an issue but all I'm ever told is call back 24-48 hours. The GM of the hotel has even sent TWO Merchant Release Letters. All I want is my money and for this company to stop using my money for their benefit. P

We have investigated the issue with Mr. *******'s MyVanilla Reloadable Visa Debit Card. After researching this case we found that the card in question had 2 preauthorization requests from the merchant COURTYARD FOLSOM in the amount of $120.00 each on June 19, 2021, and June 20, 2021. When a transaction is cancelled, we do not receive that information and do not know that it happens, except when advised verbally by the Cardholder. Each MyVanilla Visa Card is accompanied by a printed Cardholder Agreement, which constitutes an agreement between the Cardholder and the issuer of the Card, and sets forth terms and conditions, which apply to the Card. In accordance with the "Using your Card/Features" section of the Cardholder Agreement it states; "You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of your Card. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make the purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days." Mr. ******* provided a merchant release letter from COURTYARD FOLSOM advising the transaction would not settle and we were able to remove hold manually on June 30, 2021. Mr. ******* has since been able to successfully use his card.

      MyVanilla Visa Debit card is not releasing 2 pending transactions for the amount of $120 each, totaling $240. This was for a hotel security deposit at ****************. The dates of transactions were June 19,2021 and June 20,2021. It's normal for a few days hold but this is beyond normal and past practices with this company. The company told me to have the Merchant submit a MRL (Merchant Release Letter) and the fund will be released within 24 to 48 hours. This was done by the GM of Courtyard. Not once but twice.

      I bought a vanilla visa gift/ debit card. I was the victim of a scam that involved that card. As soon as I realized I was being scammed I called and found the $499.99 charge was pending. I then called the number on the bank of the card and asked them to decline or cancel the charge. They have yet to send me an. Email with the dispute papers to fill out and have given me the run around for the last two days. All I want is for them to decline/cancel the charge so money doesn't leave the card.

      I purchased a Vanilla Visa gift card and before I could use it, the same day, all the money was drained out in one purchase that I hadn't authorized. The Vanilla people told me to call the merchant to resolve the issue, but the merchant (Edge) says they have no record of a debit/credit used within the past two days. Edge also said they receive these calls all the time, so there must be something wrong with the Vanilla system where cards make fraudulent purchases. Vanilla hasn't been helpful in getting a refund and says it can take 3 months, but I can't wait that long. Apparently this happens often, so I definitely won't be buying from Vanilla Visa again. I lost $120 and I really just want it back, please!!

We have investigated the issue with Ms. *******'s Vanilla Mastercard Gift Card. After researching this inquiry, we found that the card in question received credit on June 24, 2021 for $495.00 from the merchant PAYPAL********. This credit created a balance greater than the face value of the Gift Card. As standard procedure, we requested documentation supporting this transaction in order to release the account. These cards are non-reloadable cards and are not designed to receive credits; therefore, the card was subsequently deactivated. In the event goods or services are returned we request a receipt from the initial purchase as well as the return to ensure no error has been made and no fraud committed.

      On 4/24/20 my brother purchased a Vanilla gift card for $60 and sent it to us as a gift. The instructions for activation are at first use to create a pin number. When trying to do this they do not recognize the card and when calling the providers at X-XXX-XXX-XXXX and sending email to ********@incomm.com they expect the physical receipt of purchase to activate. Who could possibly have that after a year? They now expect me to go back to the person who bought and then hopefully they expect them to have it and if not go back to the store where purchased to have them find electronically. Really what a scam. Yes I am trying to do that now but just to do not understand how it is that way. I have given them copies of card the 3 digits on back the receipt info store gave but they say that is not enough. Therefore that is why I am sending this.

      Consumer Response /* (2000, 8, 2021/06/24) */ So after much effort and much pestering on my side I was able to resolve the issue. Although I had proof of the purchase, I had to go back to the seller of the Vanilla Visa gift card and get them to send me their electronic version of the purchase. I was only able to find as the purchaser of the card had the rewards program or I would not have had. I really believe if they take that stance on the purchase of cards they are really stealing from the unknowing. Thanks for your efforts.

      Business Response /* (1000, 8, 2021/06/24) */ June 24, 2021 Mr. ** ****** ****** Better Business Bureau 235 Peachtree Street North Tower, Suite 900 Atlanta, Georgia XXXXX Re: Better Business Bureau Case # 27834494 - ******* ****** Dear Mr. ******* Receipt of the above styled inquiry is hereby acknowledged. We have investigated the issue with Mr. ******'s OneVanilla MasterCard Gift Card. Unfortunately, Mr. ****** was a victim of a form of fraud known as package tampering. This means that his card was fraudulently compromised prior to activation. Our fraud team continues to investigate this issue. As standard procedure, we requested documentation in order to investigate this issue. We did not receive all requested documentation until April 14, 2021. A replacement card was issued on April 19, 2021, to the address Mr. ****** provided our office. On April 22, 2021, he contacted us back to advise he had moved and requested a new card replacement be issued. A verification of address was requested, and we received the document on May 18, 2021. A new replacement card should have been issued within 48 hours; however, one was not. We are truly sorry for this error and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. A replacement card was expedited to Mr. ******'s new address on June 16, 2021. He has since successfully activated the card and has been able to use the funds. We truly value our Vanilla cardholders and want them to have a pleasant experience with the product. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this matter has caused. Please call if you have any questions, or if I may be of further assistance in any way. I remain, Sincerely, R.B. ******* Chief Operating Officer Incomm Financial Services, Inc. 1200 Brookstone Centre Pkwy, Suite 220 Columbus, Georgia XXXXX (XXX) XXX-XXXX
