Bought max permitted 10 VR on 10 different cards. Earlier cashier would accept one transaction for each card and since each amount was less than $1000, there was no need to scan DL.

Now they put on a single receipt for all 10 VR and split payment on each credit card. One DL scan. I am OK because I can now cover 2 BB card requirement in just two trips to CVS.

If youre gonna have your DL scanned whats the pt of using 10 different CCs? Its alot easier and quicker if using 1 or 2

Thousands of dollars in purchase in Drug stores periodically on a single credit card appears risky to me. Prefer to spread the risk over multiple cards

So I assume U are not using any 5pts/$ spent rewards card, what is it worth to U doing 10K a month? (cost is 10k pts for $80/100 )

Went to CVS today and did my usual 5k...
The cashier swiped my ID as normal, only this time was prompted to also enter information such as my name and address into the system? Is this just another anti fraud measure I wonder?

Varying mix of cards which give between 2% or 5% resulting in net 1.2% to 3.8%.

This very subject has been talked to death, and does not belong in this thread as it does not have any bearing on the thread title.

Is the Game Over at CVS?
 

Today, I stopped by my local CVS, which has ALWAYS sold me VRs using my CC. The clerk said CASH ONLY when I tried to buy two VR cards. When I said I had always been using my CC, she said it wasn't CVS, but the Vanilla Reload card manufacturer (Incomm) that told CVS to stop selling the cards using credit and debit cards. I asked when this started and she said 3 weeks ago (which coincidentally was the last time I bought VR cards there).

Anyone else hear about this new "policy"? Her explanation makes no sense whatsoever to me and I don't believe it for a minute. I think I will go back after her shift is over to see if it's just her unwillingness to sell the cards and not a store policy. This is the very first time this has happened at that CVS since I started buying VR cards there 13 months ago.

Had no prob buying 10 scoops on a CC just a few hours ago.

I've certainly bought plenty in the DC suburbs over the last 3 weeks, including today. As always some stores are cash only or become cash only. Please report back what happens.

I had no issues using a CC to buy VRs today either...

When I went to my regular CVS today, the cashier said, "I think these have to be paid with cash only." I told her I've gotten them there often with a CC, so she called her manager. The manager said she thinks they can be paid with a CC and told the cashier to try it, and it still worked.

the manager told me i think cash only. the cashier said i''ve seen him before with split tenders on cc. split each scoop on 3 cards. she schooled the manager.

Bought 5K in Orange County today.
