Buying VRs with GCs is very YMMV at CVS. I say just buy the $200 AMEX at the office supply store directly and save yourself the second round of fees.

Edit: Don't quote me on this but pretty sure OD or Staples has Bed, Bath and Beyond gift cards.

Are VRs available at OM? I don't remember seeing them last Friday. (Update: Not at my local OM)

I can use CC at local grocer for VRs there per cust svc and staff powwow just yesterday.

I used CC at Staples for Visa GC last Dec. Would VR be different? Have to find out. Not that I have an office supply purchase incentive card, anyway.

Have yet to actually try CVS. Used to be a fav place to hang out once a week but not so much lately.
