I was told by a specific location that they would no longer sell the $500 variables to me PERSONALLY because I was deemed as "suspicious" for buying high amounts of USB VGC (Usually $1K-$1.5K per trip, I have only frequented this occasion about 2 times prior).

Luckily, this seems to be isolated to only this store for now since I was able to purchase the usual amount at another store about 15 minutes beforehand.
I was not banned from Kroger, but after a year or two of buying lots of VGC's daily from multiple stores, they blocked all of the credit cards that I used heavily at Kroger. I can still use other credit cards there even if I enter my phone number for fuel rewards, but my grocery bonus Amex cards still won't work there and it's been about two years or so. They even fail if I try to use them at the fuel center for gas. I did have to have one Amex card replaced and since they issued me a new CC number, it now works again at Kroger.
