Anyone having problems with prepaid MasterCards recently?  Sorry this one is a bit long and complex, but I’m hoping someone can help.

I always get the £10 pre-paid virtual MasterCard’s for 1300 points; otherwise I have to convert 1400 points to go direct to PayPal.  I add them as a funding method to my PayPal account and then send £10 cash to my wife’s PayPal as a “friends and family” payment, selecting the MasterCard as the payment method.  This efficiently converts the card into cash without any PayPal fees - a great tip I got from this forum a couple of years ago and it’s worked well ever since (thanks to whoever suggested it!).

This morning this method failed.  For the first time, when adding the card to PayPal, a message popped up within PayPal saying that MasterCard was sending me an OTP and there was a box in which to enter the code.  I got the OTP via text and email, and duly entered it (note this was in addition to the OTP that PayPal always sends me via text when I login to my account).  This seemed to work and the card was accepted.  However, when I then tried to make a payment in the normal way, I got a message (within PayPal) saying MasterCard had declined the payment.  I removed the card from PayPal, and then added it again, thinking I made a mistake the first time, but again, the card was accepted but the payment declined.

I have also logged into my prepaiddigitalsolutions.com account and the new card is still showing as being £10 in credit, together with a list of all the old empty ones as normal.

Has anyone else had this experience recently?  If so, how did you resolve it?

I have noticed recently that Prepaid Digital Solutions are requiring personal details to be an exact match between themselves and PayPal.  E.g. name, address, phone number, everything must match exactly.

I have done this for years, also there is no way around it I have tried many ways they must be a block on this method by prepaid master card or paypal.

I clicked on that just to see what the heck it was, got immediately DQ'd so earned a fifth of the total payout for 1 second work. Not sure what the maths on that is, but I think I made a profit lol.

I was in the team in last place in the recent Candy Hearts Team Challenge - the XOXO team I think.

Despite being last, I was expecting a 50SB swagup but nothing is showing - I got well over the 200 required points.

Anyone else missing theirs?

Mine is there, maybe went in at 8:30?
