Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased my vanilla card back in 2019 to purchase items online as I did not want to use my actual banking info. Purchases made and then I misplaced my card.

Fast forward 2023, I found my card and it had a balance but when I went to use it vanilla had taken the funds due to non use (theft if you ask me).

Then when I called customer service the rep was rude and did not allow you to talk nor did she want to help. NEVER BUY A VANILLA CARD BECAUSE THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY

To dispute a transaction

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am awaiting... Just went to check balance and am unable to do so.

I have never been in this situation with a gift card, and I need it.

So I am in quite a pickle and have no funds to use, and I would never want to let the gifter know these issues. Still pissed and still without any funds that I thought I was blessed with.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I can' t reload it again, because the system reject it. And the expiring date is May 30 2023. The other issue is how I can used the 1.72$ it has if the system had blocked it use.?

Hi Taylor.

Were sorry for the confusion. I had another look at your transactions and can confirm the $13.03 charge youre seeing is an authorization hold that we already voided.

Once we void a hold, your bank is expected to release the money, which means the charge will disappear from your bank statement.

Banks have their own timelines for releasing money, so youll want to contact your bank to ask how they handle authorization holds.

If you still have questions after you talk with your bank, Uber can investigate these types of charges 10 days after theyve taken place.

Just let us know, and well start looking into it.

We appreciate your understanding.

This was sent to me by Uber. Release my money now or Ill be filing a lawsuit 100x the amount!

Reason for my review is to let you know about this problem with the vanilla gift card first time I’ve ever run into the situation with vanilla gift card and I’ve used many of them but lots of them

Well I have to wait 7 to 10 business days for a new vanilla debit gift card not very happy about that because the one that I have now in front of me is on hold and cannot be used so I have to just cut it up and put it in the garbage I paid $50 for it and its useless why it was on hold I have no idea. So now Im on hold myself until I get the new gift card then I can do what I want online with this debit card that Ill be getting with the new one hopefully everything will work out and I wont run into any more trouble . Thank you very much

A charge to my account by Vanilla card that was not authorized

I was speaking to a representative yesterday who transferred me to another location that was asking if I wanted to join something for four dollars and something cents. I was on a recorded line and I declined the offer but my card was still charged. Can we take that charge off my card?
