Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#2 of 2.)
My experience thus far:
The Good:
Pokerstars to Epassporte transfer took less than 6 hours.
The Bad:
I am told by BillMatrix (a utility bill payment processor in the US) that my Epass card does not pass Visa's automatic address verification and they refused to accept the payment. Epass CS tells me to have BillMatrix call them to verify my address. BillMatrix refuses to call for verification, stating (in not so many words) that they won't deal with a company that is providing Visa numbers that can't pass Visa's own security checks.
The Ugly: Epass CS tells me to have BillMatrix fax them some info to have the authorization canceled and the funds returned to my available balance. BillMatrix does this as I'm on the phone with them. Epass CS states it will be 24hours maximum before the funds are returned to me. That was 30 hours ago. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Summary: Epass may not pass some (any?) of Visa's security checks. I'd suggest contacting the merchant before purchase or you may be forced to deal with removing pending authorizations from your epass balance.
