Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

I just purchased a Vanilla Visa card at the recommendation of someone on the forum. I went to register the card online (I have an address and name) and they require a ss#. The person's name I am using is made up so I do not have this information. Does anyone have a suggestion to get around this problem? I have a company (LLC) that I have set up but I thought it would be better to use an individual's name for the card registration. Should I just register the card in the company name or will this be a red flag for Amazon?

You purchased the wrong card, is the card Black??

The visa vanilla card you want is a gray gift card, and all you register is the stealth zip code

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

yes the card is black and it says MyVanilla.

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Oh Vanilla makes a prepaid card, is it good for stealth mismatched names? What are their daily deposit limits?

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

No it's not good with mismatched names, it may work for a month tops and than they close the account

Still trying to use Prepaid Cards Kelly441? Won't go bank Route eh?

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Get the prepaid card, not the re-loadable one.

I'm on Chex Systems

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Vanilla gift cards are good for stealth. Their prepaid cards are not.

If you are on Chex systems, try a second chance bank. Woodforest is one of them and they have many locations in Walmart stores. They don't care about mismatched names and are very forgiving about past problems.

You've been here for a long time now, running some sort of "business" and you still can't pay off your debts? What do you do with yourself all day besides asking for help to sell your cou.nterf.eits?

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

jeffweico, does this mean that the Vanilla gift cards can only be purchased at specific places? Do I need to be in the Chex system? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. I was going to buy the grey Vanilla gift card tomorrow as some have suggested but it sounds like it may be limited as to where I can buy it?

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

The gift cards are available at all US supermarkets like Safeway. The card you bought incorrectly you can use this to purchase the new card.

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

No, volcanoman. Chex Systems is what banks use to keep track of people who owe them unpaid debts. You NEVER want to be involved in that. :)

Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I ended up buying a $100 Visa gift card (gowallet) which is grey and hopefully is what I need. I called up gowallet and they tell me the card is active and I can use it as a debit or credit card. I need to get a pin if I use it as a debit but I believe Amazon will take it as a credit card - at least that is the route I will go. Once again many thanks and if anyone has any comments I would be happy to hear them.

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Just get your chex systems report mailed and try to talk them down, I owed chase about 650 they agreed to 150 ;)

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Gowallet is solid. I use them all the time :)!

You can login online and change whatever info is needed.

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

What is the daily limit on deposits with Go Wallet?

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

Good to know. Did you ask them to put in writing that they would agree to take you off of Chex system? I am worried they will just take my money and not remove it. I was going to get an attorney involved

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

I haven't paid them yet but when I do I will get it in writing, but that's a smart move to get a attorney also just to be sure

Re: Vanila Visa card and SS#
 

so do you mean can you register address and name for the visa GC on the Gowallet website??
