I have seen other members of the community indicate that prepaid cards do not work. I work for a CPA firm and help companies with payroll, so I'm aware that payroll cards are most times considered "prepaid" because they don't accept recurring transactions. The way that cards are recognized as prepaid is by the first six digits (the BIN) and perhaps the BIN on your card changed from one to the other, causing the payment method you prefer to reflect as one that is prepaid? If the other card number hadn't changed in 7 years, it wouldn' have fell under the umbrella regulation that prepaid cards use a specific BIN that identifies them as such.
Just a thought. Keep in mind that if someone hadn't taken advantage of prepaid cards to get out of paying the company, they would be accepted. I can be certain it is nothing personal, at least. It sounds like they are looking into your service issues so hopefully all will be well!
CPA,
No, that's not the case in this situation. The first 8, yes 8, numbers did NOT change. Only the last 8 numbers changed. I get the fact that
prepaid cards are a disaster to companies. Our card HAD to be replaced due to the number being HACKED thru HughesNet to begin with
and nobody seemed nor still seems to be concerned about that fact.
As for our service issues, all we've gotten is excuses and blame on our computer. Supposedly the engineers are working on upgrades
that are suppose to help with that. We are just waiting on notification of when they go into effect. Probably will be waiting until the cows
come home for those. We have just reserved ourselves to the poor internet service we have gotten ever since we upgraded to Gen5
20 months ago and don't expect anything to be done.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.

You might want to send Jay a private message to ask for an update, since his post about this was 2 weeks ago.

We have been checking messages here daily waiting for Jay to let us know about any updates.
We have replied to Jay's message from yesterday and will be waiting on the phone call to set
up an appt.
Maybe you should read the entire post to know what's going on, not just a portion of it and reply
to something that's being taken care of in private messages.

Temper, temper!
Best of luck to you, dears, and happy holidays.
