They say, as of yesterday, no variable load cards but I have no way to know for sure.
Seems as though the stores in southern Houston were hit pretty hard with fraud on the vanilla cards. Went to three stores in close proximity to my place yesterday to buy free stamps. I inquired about the cards when I did not see any on the shelf. The responses were similar: haven't had them for months and probably won't get them back due to major CC fraud in their region. One even stated they were the hardest hit region in the company? Take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure they will be back eventually, but probably cash only.
