Vanilla Visa Gift Cards rejected for ALL PURCHASES , Internet
Do NOT buy these cards for yourself or anyone else.
I have the same issue as the previous person (http://www.ripoffreport.com/credit-card-processing-ach-companies/vanilla-visa-giftcar/vanilla-visa-giftcard-incomm-f7ca1.htm). In my case, I was given $200 Vanilla Visa Gift Cards for Xmas. Everywhere I have tried using these cards, they are rejected with no explanation. I can't use them for Amazon.com, Gas, Groceries... I have read online that the only places these might work is at fast food restaurants. But I don't really want $200 worth of burgers and fries. But if it comes down to letting these people keep my money indefinitely or hitting the drive-thru, I guess that's what I'll have to do.

I was contacted and we were able to get this resolved. I had 'register' a zip code to the card. Once I did that we got the cards clearing everywhere.

Did you register the card with the Vanilla Visa website? I sometimes use them for internet purchases when I don't want to use an actual credit card number and they never work until I register them. It's pretty quick though and you don't even need to give your home address.
I have found they work on Amazon, Steam, etc...
