As I just return from purchasing $8k in beans heh. I guess I'll have to hold onto these before I can load them into BB. Calendar month meaning the start of each month correct?

I wanted to share that I am in my 2nd week of being bean-free and I am LOVING IT! Thanks to Serve - no more fees, no more availability issues, no running around in the store, no more being broken hearted, no more being delighted that there was a 2nd gift card rack in the store only to find no beans ever exist there, no more problems with Incomm, no more being surprised the beans are hidden behind other cards, no more employees swapping my beans at the register, no more worries that the scratch-off is partially peeled off, no more sweet-talking Sherry to see when the next shipment comes in, no more of store managers being paged and having to explain why $5000 is corporate policy, and going green by saving the land fill from all the wasted cards ^ |
CVS stores are now keeping packs of Vanilla Relaods behind the counter. This is to counter a lot of PIN alteration problems they're seeing. If the shelf looks empty, ask the cashier and you might be surprised when she pulls out a brand new unopened pack.
In unrelated news, I was talking to a member of Federal Law Enforcement yesterday and he told me that a surprising amount of cyber fraud (malware and ransom ware) move criminal proceeds via Vanilla Reloads. |

I always check the back of the card before attempting to purchase. But it seems to me that if one attempts to load a pack with a used pin then this would not work. *shrugs* |

VRs in the ATL at certain stores are getting hard to come by, and when you can get them the stores are getting increasingly restrictive about selling them (like calling in for CC verification, not allowing >=$1k buys even with a DL scan etc.). I'm going to move away from them as much as possible. |

I went at about 3:30 pm and was surprised to see an employee who was there when I went on midnight. I first though busted! The cashier rang me up for the rest $500 load for today. Had no problem. So much for $500/daily "policy". I guess now I will have to go twice a day for the different shifts, which sucks. I was fine doing 1k/daily for months :( Hopefully tomorrow the day shift lets me do the full 1k, although I preferred going at 10 pm, no traffic and no lines. |
I've been shut out of two CVS past 3 days, went in two days ago and went to buy 5k, swiped my ID, got to the end, the it says it can't sell them to me, manager wouldn't tell me why, just said system said no. Happened again today different CVS, but the lady showed me the screen, I should have taken a picture, but it first said try again in a few minutes, then the next screen said product can not be sold remove from bagging area ...
I did buy 5k a day for 4 days, is it possible they are locking me out completely using my DL? I'd hate to be able to only buy one a day, it wouldn't be worth it. This is in SW Florida |

This is in SW Florida I ask because I had a chat with a CVS district level manager once who told me that they can add up all the amount that anyone spent at CVS (even without a DL scan (for those who keep it <1K per transaction)). The manager also hinted at some vague 'internal limits' at CVS about how much the corporate will let someone buy. I do not know if the district manager was just BSing. |

Amex gc needs your name on it and even then its touchy
Hey if you have like five cvs in your area and buy $999 a day in each one every day and never give id or cvs number and no issues happen to make them think ill of you, i cant see how cvs would ever know how many you have bought. Something tells me the above story w being shut out of cvs is missing some details here. |
