It appears that koolr disagrees upthread:
I have not tried personally but will attempt it (2 transactions of $600 in the same day/same store visit) sometime when I get out to WallMart (which is not nearby). Will report back (but might be a while).

You will not be able to load those 2 $600 to your BB card. There's a really basic reason why, and I'm mostly just dragging this out to see if you'll catch it.

I was able to load 1000 each on mine & wife's BB at my local WM. I had to do it 4 times as it allowed 500 only.

And yes, there is a limit of $600 per transaction (not daily) with WF in person.

I'm wasting a lot of gas trying to find beans that can be purchased with ccs. I'm finding a few, but I'm starting to suspect the days of being able to buy them with ccs even at the new leading contender is limited.
This really would be the holy grail for me -- I have several expenses that either cannot be paid by cc or charge a convenience fee to use a cc that makes it unworkable. Getting 6x hilton points by using BB billpay would be a massive boondoggle. I have found enough VRs to get through February, and I'll keep working at it, but this one feels like it's going to have a pretty short effective shelf life.

I found and purchased though in a small PA town where my brother lives, but they had a USD1K max purchase policy. Worked fine with Chase, Citi, and Amex cards.

they seem to be rolling out slowly here in so cal, but each week another close by cvs seems to get a shipment, i think its a new product thing and will take time to equalize with this high demand,

just ask one of the clerks if they have sen them or if they have not arrived yet, every where on the news all the talk is about how many people are buying gift cards this christmas, they will most likely think you are looking for a chirstmas gift, i have found if you ask nicely most are very helpful.
