Running costs
Up front you have an undisclosed issuance fee. On each funding event, no top-up fee. Outside USD, no FX markup. We checked these against the issuer's own pricing page, not a reseller. Resellers usually add a margin.

Cleared versus declined
Merchant by merchant, in the order we charged them. The rates below count renewals as well as first charges.
Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok Ads | 38 | 35 | 92% | first charge and renewal four weeks later both cleared |
| Meta Ads | 31 | 26 | 84% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| Bing Ads | 24 | 19 | 79% | went through on a fresh card with the issuer's default address |
| Walmart | 15 | 0 | 0% | Soft decline on the retry after an earlier failure on the same account. |
| Best Buy | 12 | 4 | 33% | 3-D Secure challenge never completed. The order timed out waiting for the OTP. |
Run from a Germany-region account between 02 Aug to 06 Sep 2026, with the billing address set to the issuer default unless noted. Declines were logged with the reason the gateway returned.
Failures we could not fix
Walmart is the one to avoid. Its fraud rules appear to treat Prepaid ranges as high risk by default.
What to change before you retry
- Walmart: 0 of 15 cleared. Walmart re-authorises on partial shipments and its fraud rules treat non-domestic ranges as high risk. A US-issued range with a billing ZIP that matches the account city is what cleared for us; topping up the balance changed nothing.
- Best Buy: 4 of 12 cleared. High-value orders land in manual review. Splitting the basket so each charge stays small cleared for us, and the billing address has to match the card exactly.
Three things worth doing
- Use the Germany address Gpaynow gives you, verbatim. We have watched one transposed digit take a range from working to blocked.
- Gpaynow lets you edit the billing address. Keep one version per merchant and reuse the exact string; rotating it mid-subscription is what breaks renewals.
- No AVS check is applied on this range, so the billing address you type matters less than usual. It still has to be consistent between the first charge and the renewal.
What the numbers add up to
Better than the anonymous ranges people find on forums, worse than the top-tier fintech products. Priced accordingly. If your only requirement is that the payment goes through, this range meets it.
FAQ
What does the 340468 BIN tell a merchant?
In practice the checkout reads Gpaynow / Germany / Prepaid and decides. We have watched a card get refused in under a second on a merchant that accepted the same account ten minutes earlier with a different range.
Is 340468 a real card number?
It is the first six of sixteen digits. The remaining ten identify the account, and only Gpaynow can map those. A BIN alone will never get anyone into your money.
Why would 340468 be declined if the range is fine?
Of the 120 attempts behind this page, the losses broke down as address mismatch first, incomplete 3-D Secure second, and merchant-side range blocks a distant third. Only the last one is about 340468.
Can thousands of people share the same BIN?
Shared by design. Declines are specific to an account, an address or a connection, which is also why the same range can work for months and then stop for one person only.
How we got these numbers
We bought a Gpaynow card, funded it, and pushed 120 charges through live merchant checkout pages between 02 Aug to 06 Sep 2026. Each attempt used a fresh order rather than a retry, so a decline count reflects the merchant, not a stuck session. 84 cleared.
Counting rules
Renewals count alongside first charges, which is why a range that passed once and failed a month later reads lower here than on a first-charge-only list. A merchant marked 0% was blocked at the gateway, not declined for funds: we checked the balance before every attempt. Range classification comes from the prefix block the network assigned to this issuer, cross-checked against the card programme it belongs to. Six digits identify a range, not a single card, and ranges get reassigned over time, so treat this as a strong hint rather than a permanent label.
