The VR I bought on Saturday didn't get activated properly so now I have to email a copy of the receipt and ID to Incomm. I was so excited to find VR with credit card, but now I'm just annoyed.

I hope you get that worked out. No, really, I do. ^

Shelf has been cleared. Did it over a period of about 12-14 days.

Unfortunately both gas stations that will sell to me have had a supply problem. One that I, at least believe to, have a good relationship with management has said they ordered cards but nothing has come in for two weeks.

I hope you are resupplied no problem.

The store manager at my location asked me to "bring one in" next time and she'll load it for me Maybe I'll ask nicely at CVS

Kind of you, thanks!

I'll take old style, UPC in far northeast corner, three icons on front.

That's the ticket!

It is nice to find a site where the manager has a keen business sense and wants to make sales. I have found it easy to go to the stores that don't accept Cc and ask them for a couple, that the store that does accept CC is out, or if they would be willing to sell with CC and save me the trip back. I usually have 4 or 5 in my glove box just for this purpose. Good luck.

I did this today.

Took half a stack with permission from a gas station to another about 150 yards away (same brand of gas station) so that I could buy.

EDIT: Do not PM asking for details. If you are unwilling or unable to follow the straightforward guidance in this post, it's probably best that you're not collecting VRs in the first place.
Thanks!

I'm surprised this doesn't throw off alerts at Incomm. I suppose there's good enough reason not to care about a mismatch between the VRs original assigned shelf and it's final loading destination.

Indeed - didn't know if it would work, so only bought one.

It went as normal, nothing different far as I could tell.

and they all ended up being bought out by 76 ... had every GC possible... except VRs, so I didn't bother asking if they would be bought with CC
