I found one Chevron gas station that has a store, and I found they sell PayPal reload debit Mastercard and Netspend reload pack and accept payment by credit card. Do you know Netspend reload pack that you an reload up to $400 and charge $3.95 activation fee? Is it good? I saw it can be reloaded i to netspend visa or mastercard....so why people are so inclined to buy VR more than Netspend if they both have same feature (billpay, etc).

For the ones who are buying 1k-5k at once, are they still swiping you license? Why do they do that? I used to buy 1k at once, but ever since they starting swiping the ID, I just get 500 at a time....which has completely slowed my game!!!

I never do less than 3K, most of the time 5k, always a scan above 1k-- the real reason they do it-- who the hell knows. I've heard fraud alert, money laundering, illegal alien transport:p... I know longer worry about it, yesterday bought 5k with wifey right behind me buying another 5k.

Never done more than 2k at once. You do all 5k on the same card? I personally have never felt good about doing that, and not like it'd matter anyway these days so hard to find them in my neck of the woods.

I buy 10x500 (oneV or VR) once a week. I think swiping ID is to loosely enforce 5k rule.
U can buy 2 by ringing up separately. U can also go to Walgreen (oneV not sure of VR) no ID.

Search in the forum for netspend. I'll let you draw your own conclusion about that product.

The local grocer done went and stomped on my aorta. After telling me last week VRs could be paid for with CC, their register disagreed.

I have now bought 5 VRs, with four bought at CVS nearby, one at CVS far, far away.

Did $1.5k in one visit. I think I could have done more. I offered my ID and it was looked at, not scanned.

10k spend, VR please don't go!

Why? What is the fear? You will never make enough points that way...

This is the reason to do 5K, if they are to come by and you find 5K, then buy them.... Just bought 5K more today and it was the first time my Citi Exec card got a fraud alert.. Took all of 45 seconds to clear it up..

Dang, my local stores are running low on ice cream.

Don't U like milk shakes? :rolleyes:

well its been in the mid 70's here in so cal so we have been going for a scoppe after picking up particlemn jr from school.

This is likely bogus, but I wanted to know if anyone else heard this - especially in Chicago and surrounding burbs:

I've had a hard time finding VRs for about a month. Stores that usually have them have been out, and some new stores I have been to didn't even look like they were carrying them. I went in to one of my 2 regular stores today and there were none on the rack. When I asked if they are still carrying them I was told that no CVS stores are carrying them anymore. I asked if this was something she was told by her management, or did they actually receive a memo. She stated an e-mail was sent and that it said something about them having a problem with InComm (she didn't know that name, I'm filling in) or the payment processor.

She also said something about the fact that one reason was a problem that people were earning extrabux with the purchase of VRs (I don't know if that was ever true or not - but I have a feeling if it was, it hasn't been for a while).

Anyway - I don't think I buy it - but curious if others heard any recent localized reports.

Same card, she's an AU. Been doing it for about a month now--not always right behind me but same day when we can. I drive by CVS on the way home and always used to stop to pick up 1-3k. No more, staying with 5k as long as they are stocked.
