2) Wells Fargo Rewards (3 cards). 5% at drugstores/gas/groceries for 6 months.

CVS has ended the party (my buddy who is a manager there showed me the employee screen - apparently people were calling in using fake CC to buy Vanillas over the phone, then had the cashiers scratch and read the Vanilla code - not smart even for a minimum wage cashier... and SHAME on the scam artists. The point of sale screen for CVS now actually reads "is the person buying this card actually standing in front of you or are they on the phone" - sad)
Is there anywhere that anyone knows about that actually lets you use a credit card to pay for Vanilla Reloads? PM me if you don't want to post it... but you should post it

Besides, what is to stop people from doing the same thing with other gift cards?
Sounds to me like some programmer threw this in as a joke.

How can they buy anything over the phone? Does CVS's register allow manual entry of credit card numbers? Even if so, cashiers would have to be complete morons to allow this.

@cbn - you are so right. they were morons. You can enter CC info manually on CVS registers.
It has not been this way for months. I used my CC to buy Vanillas at CVS in April. It's new to Austin TX.
Anyway, any good comments about other places to buy with CC would be of great value. I look forward to those responses!
