Looks like you are over your limit for PMs. PM me if you're willing to drive a little further north, I know of some ^

Nothin' on Maui

Looks like there are no beans on the entire island of Maui. Please PM me if you know differently. Good luck, y'all!

You gotta have faith in the cardinals.

Over here I have six dead BOA accounts and four dead APs.

Jeez, is there no such thing as professional courtesy these days!

If you can't farm beans in Maui, maybe you should move to Kauai and ranch chickens.

I thought once the cardinals at BOA blacklist you...you are never getting into bed with them. Verdad or not?

No need to hide them or purchase them right away. They are safe. Go ahead and wait for the Freedom card. Plus, they may go on sale after the holidays.

BTW, what's the address of the store?

Thats when you ask to speak to the manager on duty and tell him this is a "training opportunity" to educate his employees on how to process a reload card sale. then you can make the dumb cashier look dumb in front of her boss. If they get angry, rude or snippy I just ask for the boss. I'm the customer and I'm about to spend $1000 in their crappy little drug store, I don't have to put up with attitude from a minimum wage button pusher.

VRs were on sale at my local CVS for Black Friday. 25% off and no activation fee. I bought $500k.

Wow, I only got 15% off at my local CVS. There must also be another FT'er in my town because the first time I went there were about 50 cards but I bought the last 5 a few days ago.

Seriously though, when I bought the 5, I got a 25% off coupon for my next purchase. It excluded a number of things but I made great use of it yesterday as we needed to stock up on baby stuff. Saved me $60 on stuff we would have bought anyway.

STILL trying to get this resolved weeks later.

Curious - can someone tell me what error code you get if you enter a valid card number on the VR site but a bad reload PIN number (just try all 0s or something)? I don't have another prepaid card I can try with.
