)However, she still took my credit card and my card was activated.
Do we have anyone tried "Family Dollar" store on buying VR with credit card?

Overall, CVS is considered drug store, and not many credit cards offer category bonus in drug store.

Best you can do is find some other CVs that will sell with a CC. In SoCal its hit or miss depending on the make-up of the area. But the % is in your favor that the CV will sell them if they have them

Chicago really sucks on beans! V difficult to find beans in the city and traffic to 'burbs does not justify regular trips out there. VII-XIs are super strict bat cash only as well. 
OTOH, DC/MD was a gold mine.

Have you had any luck finding VRs in the Chicago area. I work in the loop and live on the Northwest Side and am having a heck of a time finding a retailer that will accept a CC for VR.
