AMAZON: Vanilla Visa Card don't work anymore

Can you share the BIN numbers on the account - the BIN is the first 6 digits of the card number.

We also know from another post that some cards ask you to choose a PIN and some don't. Did THESE cards ask you to choose a PIN?

We might be able to determine which Vanilla cards still work.

It sounds to me like Amazon is now blocking any prepaid cards by using the BIN numbers. If that is the case, then the answer will be to use cards with BIN numbers they are not aware of. These would be from smaller banks, credit unions, etc.

Greetings, someone can say which gift card is working for verification amazon? thanks

[paulperson]

is there a way we can start a google doc or online document where we all share cards that work and those that do not ?

too much confusion in here. So far I've gathered the self-loadable vanillas work.

What do you mean by self-loadable?

[pr0wake]

there are the vanillas with set amounts - $25, $50, $100.... and there are the vanillas with custom selectable amounts - $20-$400.

So what you say is that self-rechargeable vanilla work? if so now buy you one to try. Please confirm

[pr0wake]

no there are three different vanillas-

set amount (25, 50, 100)
custom amount (20-400)
reloadable (prepaid bank)

4510160 is for one of the cards
5113402 is for the other card

one of the card is a prepaid card from rbc (its a bank)
one of the card is from vanilla .its a vanilla based master card

both cards are not reloadable .they are for set amounts

both vanilla and rbc based cards were working for me as of may 28th.after that when I made an account early june they didn't work

as for the pin,these are standard cards with the 3 digit pin at the back .theres no option to preselect pins its already at the back of the card so basically thee are standard vanill cards and standard rbc cards (rsot uses these)

If I can ask a foolish question, what are the expiration dates of the Vanilla's that you find currently not working? Most REAL credit/debit cards have expiration dates generally not more than 3-4 years out from issue. Most Vanillat gift cards are 8 years out.

This would be a seemingly easy way for AZ to detect prepaid cards at the first layer of detection?
?
There are vanilla gift cards with a 3 year out expiration date.

well I created buyer account in the beginning and used it to buy from my another account to get positive feedback, and card worked fine for that, but when I tried to convert this account into seller account yesterday I got The credit card information registered to your seller account is invalid. You will have limited access to your seller account until you provide valid credit card information. Learn more about credit card requirements for your seller account.

I already used two vanilla visas on this account no luck one of them one vanilla 4941 59

Any ideas, I will try master card on the next account, what is it credit union and how do you get a gift card from them?

I tried the vanilla master card as well no luck there
some people have mentioned they successfully made accounts using AMEX
if someone who got the invalid card issue with the vanilla wants to give a shot we can try AMEX to see if it works

search for credit unions in your area if any of them offer prepaid cards

do you have to call to AMEX to set your zip code? as I remember they don't have online zip code settings

might be worth the try

[machine1]

Im going to try Amex tomorrow I let you know my findings

[Piter2019]

I use today a Amex Gift Card and it work good, it is Amex Limited Edition "Only the best for you DAD", you can put it 25-500. I put only 25 USD. Enjoy.

[yomanholy]

ok so if the amex limited edition works. Are there any others? Do you guys think this is the first of a big wave of prepaid bans? None of my accounts already created were affected but i tried a new one with the 25-500 visa gold wrapping and it didnt work. Trying the amex tomorrow to see.
