PSA Tremendous Card Update

13 Upvotes

I, like everyone else, haven't been able to reload my Amazon giftcard balance. Support responded to me -

Hi there,   Thanks for reaching out to Tremendous!   The card was declined because the store or app you tried to use it for is in a restricted category.   Here are a few tips to help:   Always select "credit" at checkout, not "debit" — selecting "debit" may result in a decline.   The card cannot be used for:   Gas stations (a hold is placed on the card before the final charge, which this card doesn't support) Transfers to Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Apple Cash ATMs or cash back Subscriptions or recurring payments (like Netflix, Audible, etc.) Cash-equivalent gift cards Online fun with money, in building fun with money, or money apps PG13 content platforms (including OnlyFans) Mari**** or tobacco businesses CCurrency or money transfers couple services pew pew-related businesses Lottery tickets or horse/dog racing   Using your card in person: Virtual cards don't work at most physical stores. To shop in person, add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay.   Not sure where to start? Try Amazon! Amazon accepts prepaid cards. You can also load your balance onto an Amazon gift card account (minimum $5.00 USD). Click here for instructions.   Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. We're happy to help!

with "Cash-equivalent gift cards" in bold. So I said that the bottom note with the hyperlink is what I'm trying to do and then sent screenshots of the failing reload on Amazon.

Unfortunately Tremendous does not have visibility into why a transaction is declined beyond what is available in the transaction history on your card page. You can access your card page by clicking on the "View Card" button in the email you received from [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
 
Please note that all purchases must be less than or equal to the balance available on your card. If your card balance is greater than the price of the purchase you attempted, I advise contacting the merchant that declined the purchase directly to inquire whether they accept prepaid cards as not all merchants do. 
 
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to follow up with additional questions. 

Had to change words to get around posting limitations.

Rant iVueIt: a double edged sword

Generally, this app pays decent for the amount of time you spend taking pictures of location..

There’s one thing that happened to me today that eeked me out.

I had a job where I have to go to a residents house and take pictures.

Yes, I already feel a bit uncomfortable doing this but hey.

Anyways, I went to a location in about two minutes into documenting the house a guy rolls up fast on a truck and gets out of his truck has his hand on his waist and says “get out of here”

I just said “no problem, sir. I just work for a gig company.”

They still paid me for the job but holy sh**… My life is not worth seven dollars.

The business vue’s are good… I wouldn’t do another residential though.

Edit: they rejected my vue… terrible customer service.
