Sorry, it took me literally less than a minute and a half to load my card. Entered pin, hit enter, immediately taken to enter card number, hit continue done. It took that long because I am very anal and double check my BB number twice.

Yep! Dropped by later in the day, and they were already wiped clean...

Great, so let's say it only took you a minute. That's still easily 5x as long as it took to load on the old site with a simple autofill program. Old site took me maybe 10-15s per card when loading a stack. New stack takes at least a minute or two, depending on how many times the site hangs or throws bogus errors. When you're loading a stack of 10+, that starts adding up to a significant waste of time.

+1--- obviously they are too young to have learned anything from the new Coke fiasco years ago!:D

It is a 21st century way to do fraud prevention. Crooks are too lazy to wait that long. :rolleyes:

This new method was also successfully implemented by the new government healtcare.gov website.

Does anyone with a Citi TYP card have a duplicate on a recent CVS VR transaction? I have 2 *1K from 10/8 showing twice as 10/8 and 10/10 purchase in pending transactions!

I got random capcha errors on the vanilla debit card site and system errors or pin has already been used errors on the reload site; in almost all cases eitehr clicking submit a couple more times or going back and starting over worked. A couple times I called in and loaded via the phone system. Bottom line, the errors cost at most a minute of time till you get past them.

Been seeing TONS of these cards again - at CVS!!! NorCal is back baby!!!

South Bay still looks pretty dry....haven't seen any VR's at nearby CVS's. I am VeRy hungry now !!

Don't give up so easily. They are back - just not in all stores yet.

I've been told by store managers that they do lots of 300 as well. Trucks come twice a week and the shipment usually doesn't last a day on the shelves.

well definitely some MS'ers, not sure if from FT, in the Buffalo, NY area as my local CVS was drained today when I went. Got some visa gc instead. Hope to hit up my RA for MP tomorrow. My fellow MS'ers must not know about that store or use MP

This was at a store that's usually out. I only happened to stop by because I was in the area (guess I'm lucky to have 2 CVS's by my house and 2 near work, so I can usually always luck out on 1 of 4). This was a newer manager and he seemed committed to keeping them in stock. He also told me stories of having to stop someone from walking out with a stack of cards and finding hidden stashes around the store :rolleyes:. While I doubted his claims of keeping supplies up, I've bought all $10k worth for the month for my two birds from that store over the past week. I've only gotten lucky at that location one or two times before this month. He knew all about the game, and my experience over the past week indicates many cashiers at that store do as well. I'm hoping his claims to keeping them in stock will extend to Nov. and beyond....

Are folks using VRs for other things besides BB? I seem to hit my BB limits within the first week of the month and wondering if there were other ways to use VRs where it can be liquidated easily? Any ideas?

Wife. Mom. Dad. Lots of people have BB's and don't use them :D
