is there a way to add money to Vanilla Visa card
 

is there a way to add money to Vanilla Visa card? I went to local Wallgreens today, they said they can't add money to this card

you can't add funds to it

To add funds to a card, it needs to be re-loadable. These "vanilla" cards aren't so it's not possible.

can I upgrade this card?
I got e-mail from Amazon, that they will charge my credit card for 39.99 merchant account fee, is there a way to tell amazon to charge this fee from my sales on the account

amazon want to use a credit card for that, not from funds of sales.

what can I do then,
can I call onevanilla and ask them to add money to my card?
can I add another card?

lol... you can't add funds.

Get another card with those funds available. End of story.

that's what I am asking, if I will add another card to Amazon, will it be ok with Amazon, will it charge the new card, without trying to charge the old card

Try it and find out, if it doesn't work... call them?

I can't call, it's a ghost account, I don't want human attention to my account

Amazon will only charge the card that's currently on file ... so if you put in a new card then THAT'S the card they will charge

Once you put a new card in, Amazon's system charges that card (not the old one)

I know this 100% for a fact because I've personally done this a couple times on quite a few accounts ...

what refillable card do you suggest

order a myvanilla instead.

What about green dot?

Amazon take the payment from sales if there is enough money in there. This is definitely the case in the uk as I have emailed them to confirm. Maybe ask seller support as I'm pretty sure this is the same for amazon.com

I think I saw charge 39.99 with other fees that they take from sales

may be first month is different


I just checked I have exactly $40 on that card and they didn't take test charges, I don't see them, so if they apply test charges + $39.99 I will not have enough money or they will not take test charges

The test charges do not show up on the statement, they just check to see if the money Is there. They also mentioned in the email that the first month is free and I will be charged 1 month after my account was created for the pro merchant account

Put a new card on the file - should not cause problems.

Not sure if Vanilla Visa has a reloadable card - there are some prepaid cards that are reloadable but the fees are bad. Much easier to buy a large amount card and keep buying new ones.
