Default Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#2 of 2.)

Quite frankly I've been in ePassporte's corner because they seem to be the best alternative for us. Recently I've changed my tune.

I made small purchases with my virtual visa at Gap.com for $45 and mlb.com for $50 that seemed to work fine. The next day I received e-mails from both companies saying that they cancelled my orders. This comes on the heels of the same thing happening at Amazon.com for a $79 purchase.

After a 20 minute wait, an ePass Customer Service rep told me that the merchants didn't give a reason why they won't accept the card. But he pointed out that ePassporte is used whereever the Visa logo is accepted. Well obv these companies allow Visa purchases yet they are not accepting YOUR payment method.

Unfortunately those funds are frozen until I get the companies to send a fax w/ their letter head stating that they did not take my money.

FWIW I have $2000 in my ePass account so I have sufficient funds.

Over the last few weeks I've had nothing but problems w/ the Virtual Visa card. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
