There have been a smattering of posts in this thread about non-vanilla gift card and prepaid options. Can we please refrain from discussing the details of these alternatives? Maybe they will last a little bit longer if we all agree to acknowledge they exist but don't discuss the details. Everyone should be able to figure the details out on their own if they actually put in 30 seconds of effort when they are out at grocery stores, gas stations, drug stores, etc.

Only one OD in the area still had any, and I only found 2 (which were behind a PrePaid AMEX, not in the normal Vanilla Reload stock). The manager came out and said that these were no longer being sold because Chase knew what everyone was up to and got OD to stop selling these. There were 2 left and he let me buy them at $200 each, but that was it.

Can't wait to see pictures of Emily in front of empty Vanilla racks at every OD within 20 miles.

Thought I'd share. In case you didn't know, it's all our fault. And it's all going to be okay, this is no big deal:

I'm sure this thread helped to publicize the deal, but show me where people in this thread posted pictures of the card with bright arrows on what to buy. Show me where on the Google results page this thread shows up. This thread was a small reason why it died.

It may still be OK, but OK is a LOOOOONG way from being amazing, which is what this 2 week deal was.
