i just bought 1k each on 2 cards in one go. The guy just looked at me strange - i was like yeah - i fill prepaid cards and give them to my contractors, that way i can keep tabs on the expenses.

I have noticed the younger lot dont care one bit....And i always use the express checkout.

If you guys didnt have this limit - how much would you charge realistically weekly? I am trying to play the 'slow and steady' game - 1k - 2k per card per month.

my local CVS has always been 1k/day also

On my way back from the airport after a late-night flight, I went in to a 24-hour CVS at 11:55pm, bought 2 VRs ... I asked the clerk who had previously said on another visit "$1K/day" when the day started/ended and he said midnight, so I then waited 5 more minutes for midnight and bought 2 VRs again. The clerk told me I was done for that 2nd day ... (little does he know I returned that afternoon for another helping :D)

This was a few months ago, but they were likely on separate cards (I was meeting spend on 6 cards simultaneously).

I stopped using that Amex, 6x HH isn't that great when it's akin to 2 cents each. But I do use my Delta Amex for MQMs, although I put more non-manufactured spend than manufactured spend on that card just so I don't attract the ire of Amex.

I've always bought 2k in beans each time I go there. I tell the cashier that it has to be done 1k for each transaction. I've never had a problem and this is at 4 different locations. My latest purchase was today.

But what do I do with all my paper certificate shares of Cyberrebate Toys.com and Worldcomm ?

The CVS a couple miles from my house explained the $1K a day rule to me so I just go with it, even at the CVS a 1/4 mile away. I can't load more than $2K a day anyway, with two cards, so no biggie. If I need to I just go twice a day and hit different cashiers or hit both stores. The cashiers don't seem to care, they just sometimes verify that I want $500 per, 'cause you know, that is a lot. Whatever.
