First post on FT, but am really curious about whether or not anyone has tried to buy a VR at the pharmacy checkout when they pick up a prescription or other drugs?

I wonder if the pharmacists could care less what you're doing it for and likely get less of an earful from corporate on things like this.

Do the pharmacists usually know how to do the VR's? How much do you do in a single transaction?

Yes they do and if they don't just tell them to scan the back and the computer prompts the rest. I do anything from $1k-$3k/transaction.

Awesome! I'll do this from now on and vary up my purchases on the card.

Anyone have experience with DL scanning for VGCs when purchasing over $1k at our favorite drug store? Looking to unload an amex gc and already at my BBQ limit for the month.

Next day I went to do it again and the cashier was the manager. At first he told me it was cash only, I asked him if he was sure and he decided that I could pay with my credit card but only a 1k per day limit. Sure enough after that day every cashier refuses to do any amount over 1k. Bummer. I assume there is nothing I can do about this? On the one hand, I know the limit is 5k and this manager is making things up. But on the other hand, I don't want to bring attention to it.

Clerks all hard wired to do max $1k

I decided to show a receipt from two other area cvss to one newer clerk one day while just chatting friendly after having bought my $1k. My receipts showed the $5k plus fees... Two dif stores and recent dates.

She was firm in her belief that this breaks a federal law.
Thats what she said


I just get $1k there. Cant change people with horse blinders on.

Does anyone on this thread buy beans in the Orlando/Lake Mary area? I'm making a move down there potentially, and I was just curious. I have many opportunities where I am now, and I'm hoping it's the same down there.

Minneapolis/Mankato area also.
