Had an issue buying a $500 VGC last night at self checkout line. The register kept telling me to remove unscanned item from bag. Had to call a Kroger employee over and he looked at my screen and said from now on high dollar amount Visa's have to be purchased at the customer service desk. Said it was recent change and when asked didn't know the threshold limit for allowable sale at regular register. He mentioned corporate memo. Since this is my main store for MO's I don't want to purchase gift cards there, so I will use one of the many other local Krogers for buying VGc's. If I encounter this at another store, I will update.

This is south Houston area.
