Not to minimize your pain but when you use a prepaid debit card you must make allowances for the time the banking systems to complete their tasks. The system at the place where you added the funds had to cycle thru to acknowledge the funds being deposited and then the debit card bank also had to cycle thru to accept the deposit and post to your card. These "cycles" are not instantaneous and may be off set from each other by minutes or as much as days. If you were to put money in a brick and mortar bank today it also could take days to be available for use so you must plan better in anticipation of possible delays.
