I have too much Vanilla on the brain. I confused One Vanilla for Vanilla Visa. You would think they would get tired of all the Vanilla names..no love for chocolate! This is the card my drug store sells:



Just to clarify any confusion, based on your comments above with this card listed above I can go to the Walmart ATM kiosk and load to BB using any random 4 digit code.
