He is WRONG. VR is very clearly listed as a cash only product on the memo.

But the VR is not a reloadable product. You cannot reload the VR card itself. The memo may be talking about only cards that can be swiped and reloaded.

When the memo mentions vanilla reload network, maybe it is talking about cards that can be reloaded with in the vanilla reload network.

This may be wishful thinking but hopefully correct.

If it is so cut and dried, then why does googling "My Vanilla Reload" (verbatim off the memo) yield only hits of people talking in the first person possessive about "vanilla reload(s), and nothing representing a product thusly named?

Point being the memo is ambiguously worded.

But isn't the Paypal $20-$500 card basically the same type of thing as VR in that it cannot be reloaded itself. And that is on the list.

No idea what you are talking about. The memo also specifically lists "Vanilla Reload Network". This is the name on the product. I don't see anything ambiguous about it.

Making an absolute proclamation doesn't make you right. The memo is cut off, but it appears to say this:

"Overview: A change is being implemented for all Reloadable Cards. As of 3/31, the acceptable form of payment for all Reloadable Debit Cards will be cash only. All Green Dot cards are already..."

Since a VR is a loading instrument, not a reloadable debit card, there is room for this to be a misinterpretation by the creator of the memo.

The actual name on a VR is "Prepaid Reload" -- "Vanilla Reload Network" is a descriptor -- so there may be some confusion on the part of the creator. We'll see on the 31st, but maybe only regionally.

Because googling it means nothing. What means something is the very specific item number for VR, specifically assigned by CVS, and as of Monday, specifically hard coded to allow only cash purchases.

Nothing ambiguous about that.

speculation and arguing interpretations are such a waste of time.

Some of us were given permission to actually read the memo. So yes I know exactly what it said.

Also there is, once again, no confusion on the part of anyone where it comes to item numbers.

So you matched the item # on the rack for VR's to the item # listed in the memo?

susieling Mar 29, 2014 7:29 pm
what a bad luck -- just applied for the wellsfargo 5% cash card and the card is still on the road... now what I could do after I receive it :rolleyes: anywhere else to take advantage of it?

I have matched the numbers and it is VRs, there are stickers which list the item numbers and a photo when they are OOS.

While i agree that he is potentially wrong, his interpretation was that because the VR we purchase isnt the one that we have in possession, it could be one of the other Vanilla products that is stated in the memo. Thats all! No need to get all upset - we all are getting affected.

Forgive my previous misreading post, but...yes I just walked down to the store. SKU 904509 is ice cream. If the memo is nationwide and legit then the goose is cooked.

There may be confusion on the part of the memo writer, because the overview and the list do not match entirely. As I said, we'll see. I'm looking at intent as stated in the overview, you're looking at the list and saying it's inerrant.
