Did they have the 2nd or 3rd version of these when they had them? The local stores here were almost all out of stock in December but this month they're fully stocked with the new version. Perhaps your store is just doing the changeover. ^

For those of you buying $2-5K at a time are you splitting that up among several cards? I've only tried to buy $1K at a time and used 1 card.

Went to my regular CVS this morning in DFW only to find all the VRs pulled from the shelf :( I didn't ask about them as for some reason almost everytime I buy them the clerks act like they've never seen them before and are clueless. I've been using this location for over a year and they consistently have 20-30 cards in stock. Hoping just a fluke...

Bought 4.5k yesterday with no problem. Why 4.5k? The CC I used only has 5k limit :p. Both of my regular CVS has plenty of stocks :D

Maybe they've started keeping them behind the counter. Both the CVS stores I go to in Madison do that now.

Data point and question: Purchased $3k no issues other than DL scan.
My go to store is now devoid of all VRs :rolleyes: Asked one of the usual clerks about restocking. She said trucks usually come in on Tuesdays. How do you all normally get your go to store to restock in a timely fashion, if at all possible? I have a backup store but without the great relationship I have with my usual. |
My favorite CVS, adjacent to a huge university campus, has had plenty of VRs in stock the past few weeks. I commented on this to the cashier this morning, and she alluded to some "new stocking system" that would mean they never run out. I didn't ask what that entailed, but I'm half afraid it will be that they never run out because MSers can't buy the reloads there anymore.

Data Point: just hit up my favorite CVS outpost. Of course, an older cashier, had never seen VRs before. She tried, message popped up, went away, went through. BUT system wouldn't scan more than 1 VR per trans. Not a problem with me. But worth noting. Walked out with $1500 as that's all I need for my Chase BA bonus
|
Local CVS (2 of them) Only allow $1K on a single transaction (with ID scan)...can't split or use diff cc.

I feel like a chump. Started slow with the VR last month. Stopped by my local CVS and there's apparently a memo saying that it is now cash only. Employee couldn't locate it, so I'll come back some other time (I've built a little rapport with the cashier, seen her everytime I purchased a VR).
Alas, I'll double check with the other CVS in the city, but most of them are completely out of the way. Bleh, hopefully they confused the VR with another prepaid card. |

Did $3k at my suburban Boston CVS today. No issues with transaction limits.

I think there's an internal memo at every CVS system-wide. You just have to politely ask the cashier to try it anyway. Has gone through with me every time I have convinced the cashier to try anyway...
