Non-Toast Gift Cards stopped working suddently

We have some physical gift cards with mag-stripe that we've had in-use before we started with Toast. We have been using them without issue and planned to run through them before ordering Toast supplied gift cards. Last night I went to activate a card and the system would no longer accept any of these cards with the error message "Card is not valid at this restaurant." I have on-hand a card I made two weeks ago for a giveaway that hasn't been picked up. It activated with no problem, even printing a confirmation chit. Even that card cannot be redeemed or be read via mag-strip OR manual entry to check the balance. When I went back to transactions from that day, I can't open the card transaction on the back end, getting a Toast server error message on the computer. Has anyone else had issues, or can anyone offer assistance?

Thanks, after several hours getting bumped around in support, I finally got bumped up to someone in Payments/Gift Cards who was able to "shake the tree" as they put it and get the data set of the imported cards reconnected. I'm not sure if it was a software update, or rearranging of our location accounts that disrupted it, but it seems to all be working again thankfully.

Ok, kind of what I was thinking, maybe an integration was in use and the active and inactive  cards where never actually imported into toast and maybe the integration was removed? Definitely more of a job for support, if you share your case number Rob the community manager might be able to get your case escalated. 

This is definitely going to need support assistance to resolve. I'm happy to investigate the ticket as well; just provide the case number here, or you can send me a DM if you prefer!

Glad you got it resolved!
