Such as the 2016 one weekend-only offer. It was May 2016.

Trying to decide whether to cancel a card to prep for the next sign on bonus, or to retain as I feel like a shop small is coming....

What a poor first half of the year with promotions. Hoping something better comes along second half of the year?

 

[bbqwer]

Hopefully More BP offer please

I've decided to get a supp card for my explorer and ditch the wifes. In 18 months take out a new card for her +supp for me and ditch mine.

Hmm what's the deal with vpay cards.
I seem to have one that looks like the balance is not coming up.
I emailed the company on how to check as when I log in there is only one card coming up and they tell me I need a new email address for every card?

Surely this isn't right?

yeh it's right. it's a rubbish system. i just register them all under the same email and get the card number at confirmation, and cvc/exp date via email. and then spend straight away. only one card will ever show up on login tho.

That's terrible.... I used the same email address for them too. Definitely a buy and use ASAP card for future reference

Thanks for letting me know

It is absolutely correct and very well documented on AFF.

If you have a gmail account, you can create multiple aliases e.g. [email protected] can become 9 email addresses by moving the dot one letter at a time and they will all deliver to the same address. This is what I did last time I used the HN VPay offer at the end of last year.

You can do that or use the + sign trick

Seem to recall that this wouldn't work with vpay registration.

My experience too. The dot trick worked

I've just starting prepping some $500 HN Visa GC's I bought during the recent promotion. I have checked a few cards and they have transactions on them - my balance is less than my $500 load - have been used with US retailers. This post is a warning to others but I'm also looking to confirm who I need to report this to as the "mygift2u" site doesn't have any contact details.

Any pointers appreciated. I've bought a substantial number of these cards so need to check them all and report this asap.

Interest on these amounts may be higher than the promotional rate. If you entered into your Card agreement with American Express before 1 July 2012, we may apply your payments to amounts with the lowest interest rate first.

Thanks for the heads up inipenam - much appreciated. I'm going to check through all of my supply tonight. May end up pre-emptively making some early payments tonight to drain the balance of the remaining value to mitigate any further loss.

Has anyone in this thread previously had dealings with these guys in relation to getting money back after fraud? I can envisage this potentially taking door time to resolve. As much as I like to generate "cheap" points, this is a lesson to me - particularly in relation to the value of my time.

It's much more expensive, but I'll be using RewardPay from now on.

I would suggest changing your email password too, or the password to aanywhere you store the data. Vpay card numbers seem relatively randomly generated so I would guess it unlikely that multiple of your cards get hacked.
