No, CVS has no right to claim it came from dealings with any agency(IRS?), if its not true, its called 'misrepresentation'.
Yes, CVS can make up a rule, but be uniform in its implementation, if they are selective it can be 'discrimination' Collecting 'data' with a pretext is questionable(privacy) these days.... |
Just bought Microsoft points for my son at CVS, they asked to see my card for the "last 4 digits" just like when I buy beans. Keeping the criminals off of Xbox?

In my area, that's SOP for any purchase made by credit card--no matter whether they're VRs or toilet paper or any other product CVS sells.

I assume this is just the store making sure that the employee has seen the physical card (as obviously the transaction already contains the last 4 digits anyway!)

Well I tend to agree with you on this actually, but since none of us are really losing anything by just abiding by their stupid $1k rule, we cant really do much about it. I did have one store get on my case about it and the mgr said I can never buy a GC there again, but I did not pursue this for a few reasons. One was that there are so many other stores, and the other is because she wont be there for always and forever. lol. As well, I figured if I did push it, that could HELP CVS make up new bad rules. So I let it go. I wanted to get a ton of VR and well, she had her misunderstanding of the rules or lack there of, and what could I really do about it but forgive her for being stupid! I guess i retained something from sunday school: Forgive them, for they know not what they do lol

My stores let me buy multiple thousands in a single transaction on a single card. YMMV.

There is another reason too; scammers sometimes replicate someone else's magnetic strip and put it on their own card. Seeing the physical card ensures the numbers match with what rings up with the magnetic stripe.

Weird. It's a register limit on the CVS that I go to. They literally have to ring it up in separate transactions.

no worries, demand for VR/CVs is going down due to competition. Anyone heard next week CVS has Paypal pp card on sale ($10 EB), a money maker... how much is activation?

My normal location for buying beans near my job has caught on to me. The lady said she recognized me. She also went to a sheet posted near the register to check something. She mentioned something about a limit. She said it was a CVS policy. That's the first time I've actually heard about it. I never buy more than 1k anyway. I always felt like it would draw too much attention to me.
Both locations recognize me now, but I haven't had any issues. They ask for my id and the card, and that's it. The CVSs near me have also just started enforcing the 1K per day. Since I have at least four within a few blocks of my office, it's not a problem and forces me to get some exercise. And definitely do make friends with your local folks. My guys see me coming and have me in and out in a minute.

What's funny is all the claims that buying gift cards with a credit card is somehow a way to launder money. Cash transactions are far more likely culprits.

So U imply that cash transaction actually encourages money laundering?;). right, and for security reasons, I would 'not' accept 'Cash' I wonder who did the brain wash in the masses?
