I posted this in the AMEX BB forum:
Was in OD today buying prepaid AMEX GC's I use to purchase VR's at CVS. Manager showed me a memo that instructed them to pull all variable load GC products. Something about high cost of these transactions. Memo had about 10 lines of different GC products listed on it. Asked when it was effective and they said when they get around to doing it (i.e. later today).
This was in Nashville, TN. YMMV but wanted to provide a data point.
