Have you registered the card?
Wait... I thought they did that when you buy it. How?
You might have to get on the phone and call in your order. Prepaid Credit Cards work differently from regular credit cards... some times the computerized credit card systems don't like them and they have to be run manually.
They do activate when you buy. Registration is usually just for tracking the balance and reporting lost cards.
I've had trouble getting even a regular AE credit card to work in some places. Not everyone accepts them. Does Bambinos?
VISA and Mastercard are way more universal.
EDIT: Will look forward to the outcome of all this.:thumbsup:
Bambino does accept American Express, but I still get an error message. :damnpc:
