When a lower quote is reasonable
A lower quote is normal for Vanilla because prepaid cards can be harder to verify and easier to dispute than closed-loop gift cards.
Physical, e-code, and no-receipt planning
Physical cards usually use the main planning rate when the card photo and proof are clean. E-code can still be strong, but the platform has less physical evidence. If receipt proof is missing, a conservative planning rate for Vanilla Visa is closer to ₦172 / $1. This is not a penalty by itself; it is how platforms price uncertainty.
