I have never spent more than 3k in one day. Most of time it is 1-2k.

Trust me, once you waltz in there once or twice and buy $5,039.50 a time or two, they'll know who your are. Or with the wife right behind you, doing the same thing, it won't take more than one visit.

Got $2,500 at two different CVS locations today. The first had to call the manager to approve the sale, but the sale at the second one went without a hitch. I am always nervous when people are behind me, though. I am a pretty tall guy, but all it would take is two equally tall guys and my VRs would be gone.

It could have been worse, the cashier at my store today got on the phone with a certain card issuer :eek::eek::eek: and said, "Majuki is trying to buy $5k in gift cards." Well, at that point there was no going back. Hopefully I avoided getting into FR territory. The CSR was really friendly, but perhaps it's the calm before the storm. :D

I was caught by the $5K limit for the first time today. I bought $3K of GCs yesterday evening at 9:04 pm CDT and then tried to buy another $3K at 5:30 pm CDT. Since the first time was after midnight GMT and the second was before midnight GMT on the same day, I was only allowed to buy $2K. The clerk was very nice about it, though. They are all nice at this CVS.
I went to Walgreens to buy the last $1K and they had Whitman's Samplers on sale for $3.99 with coupon. It's not great chocolate, but it's OK, and $3.99 for 12 oz. is a pretty good price. So messing up on my purchase times turned out to be a good thing. |

Here's a hint: The crazier the answer, the fewer followup questions they'll ask. |
I've bought 5,000 for 6 straight days. Anyone have a record? I'm wondering if there's some sort of high end weekly limit or something that we may run into? I'm sure someone probably does it 28 or 29 days a month, but just wondering data points. I'm skipping tomorrow, but probably 6 more days so I can have April ready to go for April 1st-5th for Bluebirds.
