Hi All,

I tried to purchase a variable load $20 - $500 VCG at Albertson's (Kroger's) today but I was told by the cashier or her supervisor that I'm "not allowed to purchase a debit/credit VGC" with another credit card such as Amex. They told me that I could only purchase it by paying cash, check, or a bank/debit ATM card.

I did not argue with them since I did not want to draw anymore attention - cashier was a bit loopy. I've purchased VGCs at other non-Kroger/Albertson's stores before using another credit card with no issues.

Has anyone here ever experienced this issue with Kroger's before and if so, is there a workaround at this particular grocery store chain?

Appreciate all of your comments and thank you in advance! Iloilo
