I bought a vr today at CVS and when I scratched off the silver, the number is barely readable (the first half). I have tried every combination. What do I do? What is my recourse? TIA

Vanilla reloads aren't that great for me since I can get gift cards for no fee through cash back portals online. I usually just order a bunch at the beginning of the week and then hit up the Wal-Mart's to drain them on the weekend as they usually arrive by then. I have 10 Wal-Mart's within 25 miles of me so life is good.

You are allowed to transfer up to 5 VR per day on to MVD. That's a max of $2,500.
VR CS will also quickly tell you if the VR is active. Meaning, money on the card.
I guess they would be able to transfer VR money to any debit card in the program.
Of course, when you call in to VR CS, it's better to have the debit cards you choose, and that work with VR, handy.

I'd sure like to know more specifics of your project.
You're buying GC with no fee at what website and what cards?
Your adding CC money to the GC online and cashing out at Walmart?
Does Walmart have money order limits?
Thanks.

It depends on the bank and your relationship with it. I deposit anywhere for $5K-8K each week at my CU. They haven't raised an eyebrow since early on last summer. But I've had accounts there for 40 years.

OK, but that doesn't increase the monthly limit, does it?
I have a Bluebird account under my SO's name. If I add myself as a subaccount, is the monthly max still $5,000 across both names or does it get bumped up to $10,000 monthly limit.
If the monthly limit doesn't increase, I don't see the use of adding a sub account.
