You may not be looking hard enough (or at both gift card racks). There is only one CVS that I have been to that does not ever have them. All the others, I have found them (though not every time I visit)

How to set up multiple bluebird accounts?

So I was trying to register a temp card I got from WM after I already requested a perm. card but I needed to use a different email and phone. I have a different email address to use but not a different phone number. Is there a certain way to set up multiple accounts? Thank you in advance for your help.

All of the registers at my normal CVS store had signs in all bold that said no CCs for prepaid debit cards. I was getting a little worried but the lady said no problems with VRs. sweeeet.

Need help setting up multiple BB accounts

I have tried setting up multiple BB accounts with different emails and phone number but in the end when verifying my info it says that they can not verify my information. Is there a certain way this is done? I have read about people setting up multiple accounts. How do I accomplish this? If you want to pm me go ahead. Thanks in advanced for all your help.

You cannot have more than one BB. You can get one for your spouse/family member. BB will check your SSN and validate.

When paying my Citibank Dividend card, which payee do I chose: "Citibank Credit Card" or "Citicards" ?

I hate how you can't view the payment address of bluebird payees.

Data point, it is possible to buy VR at Savemart supermarkets with CC (1 per transaction though). However, it can be a miss or hit at some locations. Therefore, not only CVS selling these VRs, but also Savemart. CVS only allows 2 VRs per transaction. Therefore, people should stop worrying the fact these VRs will be running out. So take it easy and relax. Thanks.

There's a long list of places that sell them, the problem is CVS is everywhere, while most of their distributors (like the one you mentioned) are not. People are relaxed, granted a field report after every trip someone makes really don't help my case, granted you made one.

Pick 1, pay $1, see what happens.

SaveMart/Lucky stores have abundant beans available, but the checkout system here is programmed to take cash only.

Searched but couldn't find an answer...

Can I use bluebird to pay off SOMEONE ELSE'S credit card bill? I have quite a bit loaded on both mine and my brother's BB card. I need my balance to pay taxes, etc. Bottom line: I can't do a transfer from his BB to my BB. So, can he pay my Chase CC bill with his BB is the question?

Obviously I could call BB CS, but I always use that as last resort- drawing attention to my high balances, loose lips... the old FWF rule: NEVER call, etc....

Anyone do this?

Thanks.
