The CVS in downtown Madison, WI was out of VRs when I checked this morning -- they looked everywhere for me -- but they said a truck was outside unloading, so I'll check back later today. If no, then I'll try the other one this evening. I have another CC spend to meet, and it's much more fun when I don't have to go to WM for MOs.

So one of my regular cashier told me that CVS is pulling them out..
no idea how much truth is in that.. will see...
if it's true then a big :td::td::td::td:

CVS that was out during that drought a few weeks ago just had some more. So clearly they are restocking. New diagonal scratch off area for anyone interested. ^

total crapshoot in my area. One CVS was able to run 3x$500 in different transactions, no ID scan, but 4th $500 wouldn't go through on my Citi biz. Other CVS ran $970 across 2 VRs on 1 card with no ID swipe no problem.

Has anyone experimented with that 24-hour limit to buy more cards after buying $5K?

I bought $5K at a CVS at 5:19 PM yesterday. Today an attempt to buy another $5K was denied at 10:13 AM. So when can I buy another $5K? 5:20 PM today? 5:01 PM today? 12:01 PM?

I assume the limit applies across all local CVS stores, but I haven't checked that. Has anyone? If you buy $5K in a Los Angeles CVS and then fly to Vegas, can you buy another $5K there without waiting the 24 hours? I'm curious.

At least in Hawaii the limit is just per store.

It's rolling 24hrs.

Bought 5k this morning, was in a different town and county this afternoon and stopped in at a CVS there and decided to pick up three to round up an earlier in the week purchase. As soon as I hit 1k and they entered my DL it generated an alert that I had already meet my 5k limit for the day. Wish I had done 3x500$ different transactions.

Bought $2k today. The two cashiers conferred and said, "I think the limit is $1k per transaction. We might have to split it." I asked if they could try it in one go, and no problem at all. :D

I haven't been to this location since the beginning of last month. There were only about 6 or 7 on the rack. A lone VR was placed on top of one of the hooks too. Which other FT member is frequenting this location? :D

good to know it is not the corporate policy as of now, unlike the OD approach.

Seems like every small despot at any CVS store is allowed to make his/her own set of rules.

We small fishes have to deal with their power struggles.

Tried the downtown MSN CVS again this evening -- no VRs. Same at the west side CVS, and both cashiers remarked that they've been out for a while. I haven't bought any since the beginning of last month, so I don't know how long they've been dry.

I have been able to by more then 5K in one day, the secert really is not have one's ID scanned. I have a couple of CVS's I can buy from. Why would anyone want to do 1K purchase at a time and have ones ID scanned?

2 CVS stores I went to today implemented $1K/day policy- Weird!

Anyone having any luck in the New Orleans area? We used to have a well-stocked pond but things have been dry for over a month now.

Tried for 2K, had register issues with the DL scan. They even rebooted the cash register. Eventually, got a transaction 90% through and then it all reversed. Shows up as purchase for the full amount as pending on my BA card, but they reversed the VR as they failed to authorize. The charge for my soda and snickers bar went through. Waste of a lunch outing.
