Just tried to buy a Canada Post prepaid Visa gift card at my local post office today and was told they'd been pulled off the shelves? The clerk tried to scan one of them she had put away in her drawer to see if it would work, but it returned an error. She said it had been a few months and they hadn't gotten any explanation or guidance.

Contacted web chat and told her this same story and asked for the reason. She kept skating around the issue and when I insisted, very politely I might add, she disconnected me. And of course, no possibility to rate the quality of my chat afterwards.

Still being advertised on the website. I always trusted buying those cards from CP, so I hope its temporary.

Would any of you know why?

EDIT: I had posted this yesterday on the "other sub" not knowing this one existed. I deleted it there and reposted here thinking it would be more conducive to getting an answer. If this is still considered crossposting, feel free to delete.

EDIT 2: Just tried my luck chatting at visa.ca where they also advertise their prepaid gift cards as still being available at Canada Post. Same stonewalling, agent threw up some copy/pasted blather as soon as I asked why they were not currently available for sale at CP. At least he didn't disconnect me afterwards.

My reloadable Visa card (operated by ZenWallet) has just expired, and it’s service is being discontinued completely next month. I was wondering which Reloadable prepaid card I should get to replace it since they are so MANY of them.

For those unaware of ZenWallet fees, these are the few tidbits I remember; Initial activation fee of $40-$50, Reloadable fee of $3, monthly fee of $3(?). Just in case you were wondering.
