Think it would be helpful of people listed their region that would be helpful to understand their posts, stores and the like. We are on the East Coast.

• WM
  - All WM's within an 60 mile radius are super sensitive to MS activity.
  - All cashiers send any non-purchase activities to MC, even BB loads.
  - MC only process $99.00 ships.
  - Request split tender or multiple swipes result in verifying payment used "aka can't use a gift card."
  - Rural areas and they had no problem loading BB at registers and didn't care about limits (older dp)
  - Few cashiers, hurting crowds to self check. Lines at MC and hit/miss on agent (knowledge, demeanor)
  .
• Local Grocers
  - Noticed the same changes where MO's must be below $480.00
  - Split tender's result in request to verify payment method
  - When you get agent willing to do 2nd MO, denied. Waiting period (regardless if same card or not.)

Have not yet tried BB at FD since the rule changes, albeit in the past they have hard to deal w/in terms of agents knowing what to do, limits, inventing new rules on the spot, insisting cash or load packs.

Few acronyms that either was not recognizing or might be local, harkening back to it being helpful to list regions as some are region specific. What are: GE, DE, SE, FD (family dollar?), OD,WD (Winn Dixie,) SS-VGC (secure spend?,)
.
BHN - never on radar but appears to be a thing now? Avoid BHN? What does BHN stand for (other than card number patterns?
.
Those loading Green at WM, still bound by swipe / daily / monthly limits - still a grind?

References to auto drain - any links to read further? Seems handy to reclaim the various low amounts left on gcs.
