My experience with travel cards is that they get declined for everyday stuff like your local pizza place, paying your cell bill, paying your CAA/AAA membership, paypass at Tim Horton's, paying for groceries, filling up the tank, rotating your tires, etc etc etc. This is the kind everyday stuff I can't use my existing travel card for. Im sure the card is fine if you don't care about any of this. Sure I can use my CIBC and TD cards for all this but I don't see the point in having another travel card when I can have a no restrictions card for the same price.

. CashX already address this issue. You will soon be able to choose a card that is pre-made or have your name on it.
My experience with Epass card is it never fucking works like V_Rocks said even with your name on it. Offshore cards are more likely to be flagged as suspicious. I will go out and flash the card like hell before they swipe it. Don't plan to do it anytime soon but I will. But I will go from big company like Walmart to mom and pop shops.
I have another travel card with another bank and it works just fine and even works when I went on vacation to another country so I very much doubt your experience are true or you must got a card from a shitty bank or the card you use must have very strict standards. Even if your CashX card not working as you like it (which I very much doubt as you are in North America) then I'm more than sure CashX can send you a different card from a different bank. They have multi-banking system.
Not saying you are bashing me but I just hope another card reps won't come strolling here and tell us how their card is better. They can start another threads about it for all I care. I want to keep this about people experience using CashX card.
