For others doing this: how long til the purchases show up in the "Recent Purchases" section of the MP Shopping site?

Clerk: There is a problem. The first GC card worked, but it shows ZER0 balance on the second one.
Me: Impossible. I just received it in the mail.
Clerk: I am only telling you what the system tells me.
Me: ok, use the one card and I will pay the balance on my CC. I am going to call the Hotline listed on the back of the card.
I call the Hotline while still in the store and it tells me I have a $10 balance on the gift card(??). I tell clerk.
Clerk: sorry, my system showed zero and I have no way to check it again.

I then go to front of store and tell another clerk that CVS hotline says I have $10 on the card.
2nd clerk: I can't check it unless you buy something. Suggest you buy some candy (which I don't normally eat), and I will run it through the card and then we will credit the candy back against the card.
She runs card which says I have a $10 balance and then subtracts $1.37 for the candy.
Me: ok, why did other clerk say no balance?
2nd clerk: beats me
Me: Ok, Ok, just credit the candy back on the card and I will be taken care of.
2nd clerk: System will not allow me add the candy back on the card. It's yours.
Me: What? I don't want the candy. I thought we had an understanding and this was a test?
2nd clerk: Sorry
Me: Ok, well just give me cash for returning the candy.
2nd Clerk: Sorry, I can't do that without calling a manager and getting them to approve this.
At this time, there is a line of people behind me. I have other things to do.
Me: Just forget it.
Now, I paid $2.95 shipping for the card. Now I am into for another $1.37 which means I just paid $4.32 premium for a $10 card. What's that all about?
I am ordering a lot of these GC's. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Maybe there is some small print that says only 1 GC can be used per purchase? Not that I know of. Frustrating and irritatiing. Next time I go into the store I am going to speak with the manager.
