I was buying 2k and after the last DL scan and processing they had to void it and ring them up each by itself, then I went back about 30 minutes later and did one full transaction for $1k and it worked fine.

see above. no reason to be nervous.

I was nervous about the manager getting involved and nixing the whole complex transaction, not the process itself.

I've not bought VRs since OD. No CVSs around here. Any problems in the downtown Philadelphia area CVSs? Gonna be there in a couple weeks.

I have no experience downtown, but almost all of the CVSs in the surrounding suburbs have been pretty good about selling with a credit card.

recently i read the HH people ms 1mil a month so i decided to be HH also. i approached the CVS clerk with 2000 VRs, but after we got to the 10th or 11th, some stupid receipt popped out the printer telling me I buy too much and to come back tomorrow. straight up bummer man. at this rate it will take me 200 days or in other words 6.66 months (satannnn) to generate 1mil ms. it is an insurmountable goal!!

Oh, I'm not. It wasn't the flagging that prompted me to post, it was the inability to key in the card number manually. In case anyone else ever ran into a similar issue.

Did CVS allow a beans purchase with an amex gc?

Just got back tonight from Vegas and San Diego.. went to one of my local places - big smiles, 5k worked just fine. DFW appears to be untouched by the new lower limits.

Some do, some don't.

BF and I went and bought a simple $1k last night each. There was a new girl and she was very inquisitive of what we were doing (in a fun way). I thought it would be easier to just say "this is how we pay our rent"; however, she then turned and said, "What? What about money orders? Tell me the name of your place because I ain't moving there!" :)

Just shows you most do not understand the concept. She legit thought I was handing the VR's to my complex as I would a cash or check.

You did know there is a limit on how many cards you can buy per drivers license. Next time you reach the limit just use another drivers license. Heck, you might even try using your international driving permit.:p
