Tried to use the Debit Rewards Card to make an Acura Financial Services TLX payment. AFS will accept the card as payment, but ICCCU the company that issues the card sponsored by Acura Corporate, BLOCKS the transaction. AFS cannot work around their block.
After numerous phone calls with AFS management and them doing research on the issue, they called back today and said their hands were tied because ICCCU has them blocked.
The card is basically a DMA sponsored card. Apparently it also cannot be used to make payments at any financial institution nor can you pull cash from the card. AFS accepts Western Union payments, but ICCCU has those blocked also even though the card verification log in page states, "Accepted anywhere Visa Debit Cards are accepted". Western Union accepts Visa debit cards but ICCCU has them blocked on this card. It can only be used for making "general purchases" so your purchases can be tracked for marketing purposes, of which ICCCU sells that information. Thank you Acura!
