Did another 5k tonight in New Lenox, IL (low risk area) and the cashier informed me of cash only as of the 4th.

No luck in San Antonio, manager said cash only, I asked him to try but he declined!
Well, this game is almost over, let's move on.

I know--I'm considering asking them to increase my CL but I'm not sure if it's worth the hard pull as it might not get approved. I already have an exec card with the same CL, so I don't see them going higher on this one.

I thought the Ones were going to be allowed regardless, it's the Reloads that are getting killed.

Since it's only 16 mins after midnight. I would assume the 1st.

Just charged 5k in 3 different CVS near seaworld. 2 on potranco near 1604 and 1 on alamo ranch near 1604 about 3 hrs ago after reading the bad news. So still working in some parts in San Antonio.

I don't know what your AOR strategy is, but I wouldn't waste the hard pull. If you just got the card in the past month or two (and it sounds like you did), they probably gave you all the credit they were willing to at that point, since it sounds like your limit is 5k. I've also had Citi reps tell me that they can't change (increase or decrease) credit lines in the first 3 months of the account being open (although we all know just how knowledgeable their CSRs are).

If they don't clear in time, grab some VGCs and make a trip to WM. Billpay (paying your Citi card) can liquidate 2k at a time, you can load 1k/day to your BB at any register, or you could always go the MO route. A little more annoying than loading VRs online, but still pretty painless all around.

Sorry, I'll get back on topic now. Whatever the topic in this thread may be at this point.

Out with a bang. $16k Sunday, $12k tonight. Had one CVS show me a memo with 3/31 end date, and one a block away that said cash only but I asked about date and it said 4/2 so they allowed it. Crazy how uncoordinated and inconsistent the rollout of changes was.

Either way... RIP Vanilla Reload. And good luck at meeting your street revenue estimates for Q2, CVS, muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

I'm tempted to go up to CVS quarter mile from my house and try to load serve, it's 12:30 here. I know they are out of VR. But if it works now it will work at 8am and vice versa so I'll go in the morning.

That said, just picked up another 1k on my SW card, so that one is done at least.

Where are you guys buying these? I can't find any.
