Darn, getting to the end of the month and everywhere is still out here.. looks like I'll have to splurge the additional $1/card for Vanilla Visa
|
I'm in the southeast and all the VR's (4 stores) from my area are gone. I never had any issues in finding them before. The shelves are there, just not restocked.
The day before it ran out, the scanner beeped and I was stopped from buying them with CC's at my regular store. Something is going on. |
VRs have been sold out at my local drugstore for the past 4 weeks just about. =(

oh geez, will some of you please scroll back to 3rd/4th of week august posts, you'll see complaining about being out of stock as we see now and every second half of the month. only difference is now stores run out even faster because BB is getting more popular and there's more mouths to feed.
As more and more people join the game, more and more metro areas will quickly become as barren as the bay area. this is inevitable. |
My hope is that they are replacing the cards with the new security strip on the back. I believe there was a bad outage in other areas of the country a month or so back. If you have the new strip, then there might be a bigger issue going on here.

My CVS had received the new strip last time I purchased them...but they are out now. I will try a few more in the area at lunch time and report back.

Then, this is as bad as I thought it was. I'm going to have to switch to GCs, MOs, and going to WM more often. That sucks. I wish I could find out info about what prompted it. My go to stores say that they are out of stock and that they aren't scheduled to receive more.
|
I drove out to a remote CVS I've never visited (since all my local stores are out) and they had a decent stock of VRs, but they are all the old style. So it's a good bet they aren't restocking but rather no one has been buying any there.
|
Two CVS near Chelmsford center in Mass are out of VRs.
|
my local store was out of them. I stopped by to see if I could moneypak with a CC but alas I cannot. On a brighter note, my local RA let me moneypak with a cc today. score!
|
Just ran out to my local CVS here in South Florida and there were plenty.
|
Tons and tons always available here in Cleveland.
