Yep, and the dude videoed me on his phone as I was leaving and wrote down my license plate.

Now, the store manager said that is not their policy to accuse fraud and threaten to call the cops when I called (it's detailed a few months ago in this megathread) and apologized, but he did say the LAS District Manager banned Reloads a few months ago. This was over NYE of this year.

I can now confirm the midnight GST worked for me. I bought 5k at 6:51pm CST/11:51pm GST, and was able to buy this evening.

And, I can confirm at 1:16am CST, I was able to purchase 5k in Plano, TX!

I'll stare at the receipt and see if it's dangerous to post if anyone needs proof.

Nice work horsey.

C'mon DFWBISCUIT!!!

Some folks clearly haven't mastered the art of sarcasm

LOL, I almost lost it! I arrived to meet my main manager squeeze and he happily slid my serve card. However, instead of replying yes, it replied load denied!

I said, no way. So he tried again and it worked and then again and I was out of there in a hurry!!! Not sure what that was, probably a hickup.

San Jose, Nor Cal

Bought $5k in NorCal at 9:45pm Pacific time. I hit up at least 7 different CVS stores in the area, and no one mentioned anything about VRs going cash only. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's regional.

All of you that are going to these places in LAS that are denying purchases must have pissed someone off. I regularly go to 7-8 different stores depending on where I'm at in town and I don't even get asked for my ID if it's less than $1000.

It's always possible. I was on vacation, so I was just wanting to start the new year off with getting my SW companion pass and get the 2k spent ASAP, but had 2 unfriendly in Henderson (where the cops were threatened to be called) and one off strip near our timeshare by Hard Rock..

Have you guys seen that before? I didn't end up trying to reload my Serve because there was a cashier there who had previously denied me. Going to try my regular CVS in the morning.

That was the policy already Pre-memo.

That has been there forever.
