Tried to do 4k yesterday w/ AmEx GCs. Manager there wouldn't let me do GCs so I did 2k on a CC and left. Went to a nearby CVS later and did 2k on one GC no problem. Gonna go unload the other 3k GC later and see if I get blocked for doing 2k+ at the register.

This happened to me before too.
The only thing i noticed that day was that I was being helped with a new person that I never seen before. And, next to the register, I saw manager was showing things to do with another new employee. So, I assumed that their transactions probably being audited.

Checked 4 CVS in last couple of days here in Columbus area. All four were out of VGC :mad:

5th time's a charm
 

Plenty of beans at the 5th CVS I visited. :) Bought 1 today with cc, "ACTIVATED" shown on receipt. Loaded to BB instantly.

slightly off topic, if anybody knows any Rite-Aids in downtown Philly or NW suburbs that take credit cards for moneypaks send me a message please. Not looking to hit them too hard.

Me too. Took about 5 hours to activate.

Where are people getting beans in the ATL area? Over the past few months, I've been looking at every CVS from downtown to Decatur to Dunwoody, and haven't had any success.

Any PM's would be appreciated. I promise not to deplete supply... I'm just trying to get 5 or so per month.

I have read others posting this but I have never seen in person on all of my beans I have bought, I wonder if it is a regional thing....

Exact same here actually. The employee was new and a manager was helping. Well now I'm frustrated, I tried to load the cards just now (exactly 24hr later) and the VR is now shut down due to too many attempts. Argh.

Has anyone tried to buy $5K at one store with ID scan and then $5K at another store with ID scan? I tried this once and was told that I had reached my limit at the second store.

However, I was wondering if anyone else has had luck with this as I may try it at two stores in different towns to see if its a geographic thing.

once you go over $5k within a 24 hour period (does not reset at midnight) a receipt pops out the machine saying you bought more than $5k and you can try again tomorrow.

Is the 5K daily limit over a 24-hour rolling period or daily? After buying 5K last night around 9:30 p.m., I got the 5K limit message this morning when I tried to buy 5K again at 8:30 a.m. But this is only the second time that has happened, and with all the 5K purchases I make at Charlie Victor Sierra's, I know I've been able to make 5K purchases a number of times, on consecutive days, within 24 hours. Maybe it's supposed to be a 24-hour rolling period but that's typically not the case? Anyone know?

Charlie Victor Sierra's sells counterfeit 'Beans' ;) The Authentic Vanilla and reloads are sold at CVS Pharmacy near U. Their limit is $5000 24-hour rolling period.

Was able to buy $4k last night in 1 transaction with CC in Indianapolis, ID check but no other issues. All were active on the spot per the receipt.

On what do you base that it is a 24-hour rolling period, not per day?
