I can't get this ID# to work on Dwolla. Is it still valid?
Never mind, weird, now it worked.
In case anyone else encounters this, here's what happened:
I already have a dwolla account that I've been using to pay my rent for 2 years or so and also very occasionally for other things. So I'm very familiar with the site and the service and my account is active etc.
I took your ID# from above and tried to set up a recurring payment with it. But the recurring payment screen just rejected the ID#. I tried manually typing. I tried cut&paste. I tried leaving out the dashes. I tried entering the name instead of the numbers. Nothing worked.
So I thought maybe it just wouldn't let you set up a recurring transaction until after someone was already a contact by doing a regular one-time transaction with them. The regular one-time send money screen not only accepted the ID# it also found your account by name, if I just type Escape, it shows "Escape Artists Inc.". That would seem to support the theory so I went to do a one-time payment, but then I apparently took too long writing a note into the details box, because when I hit submit, the session had timed out and all I got was a login page. So I logged back in, and just for the heck of it I tried to set up the recurring payment again, and this time it worked.
I have no idea. The previous attempted one-time payment definitely had not been submitted. No such transaction in the history or pending activity screens.
In the end I still went ahead and sent a one-time payment that represents $5/month for the last 2 years anyways even though the recurring payment of $5/month from now on was set up. So you will get a one-time and a recurring, but the one-time was done after the recurring.
So, the reason I say all this is, if anyone else has problems, I guess just keep retrying. Dwolla site is maybe just a tad glitchy and less than perfect.
Anyways, thank you for using Dwolla! Yay Dwolla!
