Hard to believe but there are no CVS stores in the entire states of Oregon or Washington! I was all ready
to get out there with my CC thinking I just needed to find the nearest store. Really bummed!

I stopped at an OD in MD tonight on my way home from work to pick up 2 $500 visa gift cards at the register they took my Ink card and ID then called a number for what I assume was Chase to confirm the billing address was the same as my ID address....
....Has anyone else encountered this at OD?

What I meant to say is...ahem...won't some nice, charming, ICE Cream Hoarder (I'm calling the show, really) share with a poor sad low miles wannabe?
Either that or someone in SJ is buying them all faster than she can restock. I check at least 3 stores more than once a week...bubkiss!

anatomy of a vanilla CVS.....
After walking into a dozen cvs's, i've notice one common theme. Those that carry vanillas don't have prominent displays featuring the green dot products. so if u seem a prominent green dot display, they won't stock vanillas. those that don't have a green dot display will feature vanillas.

Anyone been successful using BB to pay down your Amex bill if you used your Amex to buy the cards to get 6 Hilton points per dollar spent? I have been successful paying my mgt, car pmt, and other credit cards but didn't know if paying down the Amex was getting too circular?

I have to think that it would work, but I am not going there as it is very circular. No reason for me to bring unwanted added attention from AMEX/CVS and kill the deal for me, before others who get greedy and kill it for all of us.
