FASTTECH - Paypal Suspension for Vape!

[zoiDman]

yes but fasttech needs to hurry up and add a function that allows us to choose our own denomination. I aint tryna buy a $20 gift certificate for a $14.99 tank.

If you Don't want to have $5 on the Books when you are done, then Buy a $75 Gift Certificate and buy 5 of those Tanks.

Knew you were a Shiny at heart.

Just ordered coils, paid with Paypal, so some items still go through.

I'm not playing no tax games with the IRS and US govt just to get vape gear, free or otherwise.

For ft, once they get a CC processor, looks like I'll use the Kiwi browser for orders.

I use a Cap 1 Visa, and do almost everything on my phone. Android Kiwi supports Google plugins, so I can use the Cap 1 Eno plugin to generate a pseudo card # only valid for ft orders.

(Cap 1 is excellent for fraud monitoring, but using pseudo numbers is great so you don't have to get a new real card if a fake # is stolen.)

Oooh, I'm liking this kiwi!

Not holding my breath. Gift cards usually come in certain set amounts. But I'm not sure if they expire.

I need to get out more.

I just noticed on the mobile fasttech site the gift cert denominations are different.

Mobile site is $5, $10, $20 and $50
Fasttech Mobile Site - Buy Fasttech Gift Certificates

Regular site is $10, $25, $50, $75, $100 and $200

I could swear there was a time when you could choose any amount you wanted for a fasttech gift cert. But I may be wrong.

I'm not going to argue--I simply don't know and I never bought any gift cards from them.

I only know that you can cancel an order for something else and receive a refund for that exact amount as a GF. I've done that to buy some Aspire coils in the past.

I buy enough from ft that the denominations aren't a big deal.

I could be wrong but I don't believe you lose anything if you apply a $20 gc towards a $15 item. The gc will still be there, just decreased to $5. (It's like buying a lowes $100 card - you keep using it until the remaining value drops to $0.)

Not arguing. Just stating that I swear at one point in time FT allowed that which you desire. (but that I could be wrong).

Yes, you're right. That's how it works.

It seems to be variable. I couldn't order an sxk haku riviera RDTA by PP, but I could order an Ares 2 RTA.

Net, it looks like they are being forced to clamp down on US vaping sales by PayPal, though definitely haven't toggled the status of all applicable items.

I'm in NZ and everything in the cart below had no problem reaching the PayPal payment screen. So they may be toggling countries too

The rules on gift certs at Fasttech are...

If you purchase one - good for 5 years.

If you have one issued to you as a refund from an order or a return or whatever - good for 2 years.

And if you get a gift certificate as a result of cashing in rebate points - good for 3 months (at least that's what they always tell me when I cash in my points).

 

[Katya]

Not arguing.

I know. Figure of speech.

Yeah, everything's messed up. According to their notice, it's not country-specific though.

Got it.

Oh. I mean it stays good for 5 years but if you only want a $14.99 tank and you don't think you'll ever purchase anything again I wouldn't want to just pay the extra $5 for funsies. it would be a nice feature. But at least there is a workaround
