Bought 3 VR today (one around 4:30 EST and the other two around 5:30 EST) from CVS using gift cards.
All three initially gave Card is Deactivated (4002), and then the first card loaded around 6:40 EST. The other two are still not working.
Seems to be pretty random timing. I've been on hold with VR Customer Service for over an hour...
Anyone else have any luck?

I picked one up around 3pm this afternoon and just took my first shot at loading - error 4002. Receipt has the 'prepaid card activation will occur within 24 hours' message on my receipt (with the correct serial number), so guess I'll be trying again later or tomorrow then calling Incomm...

I am not advocating this, but just posing a question. I cannot find any Vanilla Reloads in my area unless at Walgreens (Cash Only). What if someone were to walk out with two unloaded cards there and take them to CVS to have them load via credit card? Thoughts??

That it is wrong?
That the same person would probably also see nothing wrong with buying a diamond ring or bracelet online at Costco.com with a Visa card and returning it at a Costco store and getting a cash refund because the stores have no way to credit back to a Visa card - and then boast about it?
How about grabbing a few bags of chips and a six-pack, walking out with them and paying for them at a CVS as well? Don't try to tell me it is any different.
