My account did not replenish last night and it appears that it should have, why not?
There are several potential causes for this. Depending on the options chosen, the program may not have marked your account as needing to be reloaded. Please see the examples and explanations described in the automatic reload section of help. If you are initially setting up your account, you may need to manually fund your account this time only. With several options (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc), the program will not reload until your first scheduled event. The account could also have automatic reload Disabled. This is a check box on the reload setup screen. If this is checked, then automatic reload will not execute. Also, check the expiration on the credit card being utilized for funding. It may have expired.
Why is automatic reload not working?
Commonly, during the setup process, the Disabled check box may be checked. This will Disable the automatic reload functionality and cause the program to not run.
I set up automatic reload yesterday and nothing was added last night, why?
Most of the automatic reload frequencies will start counting from the starting date specified. The program to load value will not run immediately and will wait until the first scheduled reload, sometime in the future. See in the automatic reload section of help. To have your card funded immediately, use the Manually Load Value option from the Zipthru Cashless web-site at www.zipthrucashless.com.
I am trying to register my credit card and the program is giving me an error. I know I have used this card before, what is wrong?
There are two primary reasons for this. The fraud checking in the program will compare the billing address of the card holder with the address entered in to the Zipthru Cashless web-site. If there is a mismatch, the program will error on the authorization check. You can use an alternate billing address by selecting the radio button on the credit card setup screen that permits you to enter a different address. The second issue typically is the Security Code required is missing or incorrect. When you attempt to enter a credit card in to the web-site and receive an error, the Security Code field is cleared, for security purposes. Simply re-enter this code and all other necessary information before pressing the Add Credit Card button at the bottom of the screen.
Can I back date the Starting Date for automatic reload?
Yes. The program will initialize the dates it utilizes for automatic reloads from the starting date specified. This can be in the past or future, though it is recommended that you plan and utilize the current date when you initially set this feature up.
