Thanks everybody for this great thread.

I'm new to the game and went to OD today (May 6, 2015) to purchase VGCs. The $20 off $300 VGC promo was advertised through May 16.

There were several varieties of variable-load VGCs but the cashier scanned each one and confirmed they could only be purchased with cash.

Instead, I picked up a few $200 fixed value VGCs with the $20/$300 offer.

Do I understand correctly that the variable-load VGCs can be purchased at some grocery/pharmacy/gas locations with a CC? (OD/OM specifically said no to that).

Thanks for all the help. This is my first post.
