I have had problems with the Vanilla Visa cards not working at checkouts--even at HEB itself. Anyone else have issues?

last year I had a similar issue with a $500 Vanilla Visa. But after calling their customer service line it got cleared on the call itself. It looks like if we make a huge transaction they are trying to block until we call in. At least that's what I felt at that time.

Speaking of issues with vanilla visas and at the same time on an unrelated note, the coupon for vanilla visa was NOT working at any HEBs yesterday, multiple people reporting the same issue

They aren't usually advertised in-store, it's digital only coupon in the HEB app. You add the coupon to your HEB app and then scan the barcode from the app at checkout instore.

Great deal. I mostly shop at HEB anyway so this was 14+14+14 = $42 free money.
Plus my credit card gives me 2% back on groceries so that's another $6.
Checkout was seamless. Had to scan digital app. Thanks

Vanilla visa has not worked for me - tried many different thing to pay a couple of bills online and gets denied. Merchant says "invalid institution code". Vanilla support (sucks big time their whole phone approach) says:
1) "wait 24 hour" -- no dice
2) ask merchant to not bill it as recurring. It is not, yet fails.
3) they dont even see attempted transaction, which to me seems dubious.

Tried over 20 times over several days across multiple merchants and all failed.
