Currently Barclays is offering 4x at walgreens through the portal. I was thinking about purchasing the walgreens gift cards through the portal and then upgrading them to VGCs at the actual store. I've had success buying VGCs at walgreens with a CC. On the walgreens site it says you can purchase anything in store with the walgreens gift card. Anyone had success upgrading gift cards at walgreens? This seems like it would be worth doing since if you used the arrival card to purchase the walgreens cards it would be basically 6.2x
