As far as VGC loading. I have several $100 VGC (from OM/OD deal) and can try loading. Can someone tell me how they did these prior to the credit card cut-off? Essentially, do I need to tell the cashier "I need to make several swipes at $100 each?" or did they auto drain?

Also, it appears loading with gift cards (debit) is working. Does this essentially make this card the same as bluebird, or what is the difference between the cards now?

[edit: just noticed the Nepasser post above - still looking for other experiences ]
