I really think you need to read up on your question in the Manufacture Spending forum here on FT.... Educate yourself before playing the game.

Yes

The Truth, the look is priceless, since they have no idea on you are talking about....

Take the wife to Dinner in Hillcrest, there is a fantastic Moroccan place at 4th ave and Washington (named Kous Kous), next to the CVS is a parking lot... Go in buy your beans, then head to dinner.... This CVS has three racks FULL of beans, I don't think it is one that people hit too often...

On a side note, you might have to travel some to play the game.

Agree. I started tell the whole story to a cashier and her eyes started crossing. When I was asked last week, I just said, "to pay my bills and get airlines miles when I pay them."

Thanks

Went to a CVS in Dallas last night, picked up 2k. Cashier was obviously new and had no idea what he was doing, manager came over and swiped 1k for me. Told me she wasn't sure what the limit was and that usually a DL scan means it's the limit, went to the back and checked, then came back and told the cashier it was fine to keep going and to swipe the other 1k.

Went home, scratched all 4 off and loaded it onto 2x BB, everything went fine, no issues or errors at all.

Just went to a CVS that hasn't had VR in a while. Scored some but they gave me bogus info on how the limit was $2k. After the DL scan the system froze up so they wound up having to ring me up separately. I politely told the clerk/manager (who was right there) about the $5k memo but he said it was changed to $2k.

After I left, I realized that $2k is the gift card limit (I'm pretty sure) which is where they were getting confused. $5k Is for prepaid cards. I doubt he would have budged anyway. Man I wish these people knew their jobs correctly.

Went to another CVS to grab more VR and the system again froze up on the DL scan so they had to ring each one up separately.

Yes, I had a DL scan freeze today. They asked if I had bought others elsewhere that day (which I hadn't). Guess just a system glitch.

Just minutes ago at the central CVS in Madison the system froze after the DL scan and then came up with a system error message after about 30 seconds. The cashier told me that she could only sell me the one VR, so I asked if she would ring the second one up in a separate transaction. She said no, that it was illegal. I said it's not illegal, although it might be against store policy, and she replied that it was state law. Love when they make up stuff.

I'll go back later and buy 3 VRs, assuming the system doesn't crash again -- I'll load today's BB limit and then do the last 2 after midnight.

I started having the DL freeze a few weeks ago, it seems location dependent. Fortunately I also have a state ID with bar code, works at all locations. No explanation, but that's my datapoint.

You'd love one of the managers at the West Side CVS then. Downright hostile and treats you like a criminal.

Salem Road and Princess Anne Road CVS locations have always had plenty available and no issues purchasing with a CC. I've never tried doing more than $1K at a time, however.

The same happened to me in the Philadelphia area today. The cashier was able to ring up the cards separately without issue. Maybe we've all hit a lifetime limit with CVS. :D

My bill hasn't generated. I've already talked to BofA and have assurances that it was a purchase, although the website clearly states that it isn't. I've already told the guy that I talked to that I will be calling back in for a credit. I just won't use that card anymore. BofA stinks, incase you were in doubt.

CVS $5 ECB
 

Stopped at cvs this am. One of my favorite checkers pointed out to me that cvs giving 5ECB with the purchase of two VISA cards. Shows a twenty five in the picture but I bought two $500 and got the five ecbs. Essentially paying five dollars for Visa cards totaling 1K. Not perfect, but brings the cost down just a bit.
