Confusing Customer Service | Error Adding Card and Repeated Issues
Update 05/24/26: After continued follow-up with both Tango and Blackhawk Network / myprepaidcenter.com, I was eventually able to use the card through other merchants and platforms. I appreciate that the team continued reviewing the case. However, the support experience was still confusing at times due to repeated requests for information and inconsistent explanations. I hope future cases can be handled more clearly and proactively. Original Review: To provide context, I was initially given a courtesy card by Blackhawk Network / myprepaidcenter.com as a resolution to a previous issue. I appreciated that gesture and was even considering updating my review since the earlier situation had improved. However, I am now experiencing the same issue again with this courtesy card. It cannot be used on major platforms in my region such as TikTok Shop Philippines and Shopee Philippines, showing errors like “Couldn’t add payment method” and “Add Card Failed.” What has been frustrating is the support experience. I was asked to provide a receipt for a card that was issued as a courtesy, which does not make sense in this situation. I have already provided all available details, including the redemption code, last four digits, mailing address, and screenshots, and was eventually asked to provide the full card number. In addition, new information seems to be requested in each email instead of being provided all at once, resulting in repeated back and forth. What I found more frustrating was being asked whether my bank has restrictions regarding prepaid cards. This is confusing because I am not using a personal bank-issued card. I am using the virtual card provided by Blackhawk Network / myprepaidcenter.com. The errors are coming from shopping platforms in the Philippines where I am trying to use the card, not from any bank on my end. Despite this, the responses I received have been repetitive and unclear, shifting between different explanations such as no transactions found, possible bank rejection, and requests for receipt or card number, without a clear direction toward resolving the issue. This has made the process confusing and inefficient, especially for a case that should be traceable internally since the card was issued by your team. I was genuinely considering updating my reviews to reflect the improvement from my previous experience. However, this new issue has caused further inconvenience. At this point, I am simply asking for a clear resolution, ideally by removing any restrictions that may be affecting the card’s usability, or providing a straightforward explanation of any limitations. I hope this can be handled more effectively moving forward.
