sad to say, there was no shelf tag of .01 that's why it was trial and error for me at 2 CVS. The staff are super friendly to even do a test purchase putting the least amount that can be loaded and it rang up with the regular fees. They voided transaction. They asked me if offer was in the ad, I told them I just read it online and just wanted to see if it was one of those unadvertised deals.
I didn't get on this deal; I still appreciate the HUs from others so I can try. I know if I don't try, I won't find out if it works for me. Trying it myself is the only way to find out what works/does not work for me.
My stores didn't carry the free reader after ECB last week, I have accepted the fact I can't get into every gig advertised.
