Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

i found this How do I Activate My Vanilla Visa Card? | eHow
and so cashier will not need you ssn? so a vanilla will not need a ssn?
so if i buy many vanilla at like one store to register stealth amazon seller account, will they been linked if they find they all registered from vanilla card and they all bought from the same store or other clue will lead issue?

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

No, the cashier does not request an SSN. Vanilla will also not ask for an SSN. They are just gift cards available in small amounts of money. The most commonly sold card is the $25 one.

You CAN buy as many Vanilla cards as you like at one store, they will not link because of it. The only danger is if Amazon one day decides Vanilla is not a good card, then all accounts with Vanilla Visa could be in trouble. BUT - that is VERY UNLIKELY.

Still, if you need many cards, I would suggest getting a variety. I get some from Vanilla Visa and use other gift cards purchased from banks. I had many Chase until they stop selling them. Many credit unions still offer them. Look around, there are TONS of them.

The GREAT THING about Vanilla Visa is you go to their website and register the card - just enter card number and ZIP code of your stealth identity. The card will then pass AVS check! I only use cards that can be registered.

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

great thanks.

what you mean Chase?

you mean some of vanilla will not pass the AVS? where to check if pass AVS check? is it on https://www.vanillavisa.com?

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

ALL Vanilla can be registered. I was referring to OTHER cards.

I just meant that Chase Bank USED TO sell gift cards, but they no longer do. But other banks still sell them. I am saying you have a lot of choices here, but you should only buy cards that can be registered.

The only thing the cashier will tell you is that you can't pay for the card with a credit card. It has to be cash or debit

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

That is normal. Just like to buy money order or cashier check. But some CVS in my area allow to buy it with credit card :) Don't know that the store policy or just the cashier doing it

Got a vanilla mastercard today. It must be registered with our real legal name and SSN for verification by this institution.

I copied and pasted this from the vanilla website.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW CARD ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver?s license or other identifying documents.

*When completing the form, please make sure to use your legal name as it would appear on public record.

So we register our card legally.

Then use our VCC number for our amazon account.

Amazon also asks for the card holders name and address.

We only supply our stealth info for the name and address right?

or did I go and buy the wrong card?

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

You purchased the wrong one, the one you have is a prepaid debit card, that comes with a Routing# and Acct#

You need to get the vanilla GiftCard, you have the Vanilla Debit Card

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

LOL. Dang it. I'll look for a GIFT visa card tomorrow. Thanks

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

If it doesn't say Gift Card....it's not a gift card but your right, it can be very deceiving sometimes...especially when you see a ton of them.

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

If it was a vanilla Visa Debit which I think you have it's usually a Black Card.

The Gift cards are Silver or Gray color

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

They come in all kind of color. You just need to read the package to buy the right one

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Yes the packet says "gift card"

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Can you put more money in the gift card once it is used? If yes, then can it be done online or in store / or both?

And we just register the card with any name (or ⊗⊗⊗⊗) and address to match info on stealth account without any problem?

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

No, you can not with the giftcard

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Once a gift card is used...it can't be reloaded.

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Dang it Ah heck, I got the Debit cards!!!

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Rough to hear

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

Im going to run to 7-11 and see if i can use my new debit cards to purchase the gift cards. i'll post back the results.

Re: Vanilla Visa Card and ssn
 

You need to read more of the forum.


We have had a thread running in the paypal part that would have dealt with your issue.

Good Luck on the quest for the correct card.
