Congrats! You'll always remember your first time.

just like the other first time, it will lead to wanting more...and more...and more...:D

my local cvs #1 was out last week. waiting until next week to start spending high again anyway so not a big deal.

Encountering more and more of "cash only." Even in the same store where I made a purchase that morning. Has anyone used an effective script to get a cashier or manager to change their minds?

You misread prasha11's location. He's not from LA, he's from Los Angles, the land of the angles :p

Much like fishing, if you want to catch the lunkers, you gotta go places where others aren't willing to go.

The problem with the 5-405 area is getting there, the traffic in OC is just plain horrible... I'm one for taking some time to get my beans, but when you are talking hours as in 5-6 hours and most of that is congestion on the freeway, there is a limit for me...

So some of you are making it bad for everyone I guess

There are a bunch of people that can't follow simple instructions that are probably messing it up for a bunch of people.

The cashier at my normal location asked me what I was saving miles for. She mentioned that someone else comes in there and says that he was saving miles for Alaska Airlines. I told her I'm saving for a future honeymoon.

Beans have been plenty and I was able to purchase 2k on Monday. I'm going again during lunch time today.

I have been slacking off this month and have only hit the 50% mark for my BB accounts. Now i come on and find out that many CVS are cash only on this product. Great - the one month i slack off and now i will need to buy GCs to bridge the rest. I am usually done by now for the month. Idiot!!!!:mad:

Sad part is I have access to 100's of VRs but I already hit my limit the first week of Dec. If only I could help you.

unsuccessful - 1/1 in the morning after reading all the posts in Boston.
Will go on a run of 4 CVS's at night.

I think I know the answer but need confirmation. When using a gift card say $500 in value. You have to deduct the reload fee from your purchasing amount correct? So the reload is loaded with $496.05 the fee is 4.95 so that will completely drain your $500 gift card.
