My local CVS cashier is so used to this by now that he volunteers to ring up multiple transactions so as to avoid DL scan. But I need to find more uses of VRs as I have access to many but can't/don't really use them after BB $5K/mo limit.

Went into a CVS in LV yesterday. Place was stocked with VR. I bought one on my CC and then asked the cashier the daily limit... which prompted a call to the manager to ask how much. That ended that quickly. No CC anywhere in LV, as far as I can tell.

I found a store in VA today around DC that was stocked well. Grabbed 4 cards, made one purchase and all went well. Now, I have to wait til the 1st to do it again...

I hit a different store for each purchase within the month if possible. Besides, there were plenty of cards. :p Who knows, maybe I'll see ya purchasing one day. I have yet to see anyone buying VRs while I'm there.
I wish the airport stores would carry these. It would make it much more convenient to pick some up. |
Curious to know where it is. Certainly nowhere near me as I have check every store within a reasonable distance of home(8 stores) and only one had a few that someone had hidden and those are now gone. Up until 2 weeks ago 4 of them had a steady supply of them. I talked to a couple of managers and they both said they believed they were not being discontinued and that they heard there was some distribution issue related to Incomm redesigning the cards.

That makes sense that is pretty far out of the way for a lot of people. Have those locations restocked at all in the last 2 weeks because that seems to be the problem in northern Virginia - no new stock coming in.

Had a fun trip to an out of the way cvs today heading back from out of town. Place was loaded with VR, grabbed a stack, went to pay, cashier said $1k limit, I was like okay, I think recent cvs update allows more, but if so the 2 cards are fine. So she goes and asks manager, he says I'll check you out. Dude was on a total power trip, literally comparing my dl to name on my card letter for letter. Then he says, I need to check your DL under the blacklight (wth) in the back at the prescription counter. I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have, it could have been a scanner he was using. So we walk back up to the front, then he says "I'm choosing to decline this transaction because it seems suspicious." Wasn't happy, but didn't want to make a scene, I don't have a problem with him choosing not to sell that much, but don't waste my time by doing multiple verification checks and then decline to sell. Definitely had this Fed wannabe attitude haha. Make for an entertaining trip in any case.
