Smile Simon Credit Card Help

Hi all,

I actually live in Australia and I would like to buy a Simon Electronic Gift Card (they send it to you via email). How do I buy from them when they require a phone number in the United States for validation? Would someone be kind enough to give me their number and validate the cards for me? Or is their a way around this? Perhaps their may be another site I can buy it from?

Thank you,

Regards

The account is registered with the real information of a friend who just move, so the address and phone# (although now disconnected) are real.

Should I do the ID verify for $5 (from everything I have read here my gut says NO)

Should I try to set up a PP account with the card (or will I run into the same thing) and then select PP as payment method for EB


Or should I had the email registered on this account to my existing PP account(although the main email on the PP was the registered email on an EB account the just got banned)

Help, I thought I had things under control to get selling again

I just went to the Simon site and it said that I had to register to use it online...I guess for shipping info, whereas if it was used to buy something in person that wouldn't be required.
My bad.
I'll report back after trying to add it again...if it works(which I am hoping it will) it will make this post moot other than to help to educate others through my ignorance



Well, it took it, so slap me for not trying everything first before posting.
Hopefully someone else will read this and not goof up like I did
That happend to my brother. He bought a simon card at a mall but those don't have any address info registered. Funny too is that we have the same bank but Simon won't take his debit card but they take mine.

Exclamation Gift card declined for eBay selling fee

I used Simon gift card to open an eBay account. I set that eBay selling fees will be automatically charged to this gift card. But today when I checked this gift card, I found Simon gift card declined it. Could you tell me if I did something wrong. Another question is if I can use one Simon card to open 2 eBay seller accounts? Thanks.

There hasn't been anything said about this; only the random one or two members that can't seem to activate a card, because of their own fault. It seems if you do it right, you have around a 90% chance of success.

Default Simon card LOCKED at sinmon site

I know of someone who tried to get a simon card but tried to sign in with the wrong password to activate the card and they froze the account for 24 hours.

It's been a WEEK now and it's still frozen.

Emails to simon.com get the reply of -- tell us the last 4 #'s in the credit card and we'll unfreeze it.

But don't you have to get in to activate it to get those #'s ?

Doesn't make much sense to me.

Chris,

About 10 days ago, I did buy 2 Simon cards and was able to create 2 eBay accounts with these cards. Maybe some numbers are the problem. I have noticed that each card's last 8 digits have increased. I have a total of 9 cards still active and the first 8 digits have remained the same.

This has been talked about all over the forum. Just buy a giftcard with your real information, and use the same ⊗⊗⊗⊗ information you used when signing up with eBay when registering the card.

Right, the cards are intended to be used as gifts, so there is no reason to use a CC in your name to buy a GC in your name.

HI- went through almost 30 ebay accts in last 6 weeks- so alittle knowledge?? ANYHOW, those cards at the grocery store are working perfectly, they took down 7 this week, i set up 9 more, sitting on almost 50, aged 30 dys+. READY FOR THEM.. the simon cards are nice, but when they pull an acct, you cant take it and get gas, as its virtual. I just used a vanilla visa bought at staples today, works fine, it was 3.95+ the $25. when the accts go down, take that card + fill up or use anywhere. Giving ebay their $5, then thats it...
