OVs suck. They have raised numbers which make them stack poorly. Carrying any more than 50 on me is a royal PITA.

The discussion about overpayment on Wells Fargo cards has been moved to the Credit Card Programs forum. I will leave it to the moderators there to decide if it should be merged into an existing thread.

For giggles I went into my CVS and grabbed a VR with a couple of other things. The salesperson who knows me took the VR, scanned it, said they were cash only now so I turned around and grabbed a regular VGC and it went through with no problem.

OV does not suck - take it back!
OV looks the most like a legitimate card as compared to any other VGC. |

OV looks the most like a legitimate card as compared to any other VGC. Which brings me to reason #3 not to buy OVs. Only ~12 fit in the feed tray due to their stupid raised numbers, instead of ~20 other cards. |

Interestingly, some clerks still aren't aware that VR has gone cash only, which makes me wonder, is it 100% positively cash only throughout the country now? Any recent data point to the contrary?

Registers are hard-coded nationally for cash only. I suppose it's possible that a register wasn't recoded properly - if you find one, consider yourself very fortunate!

Even if the clerk tried to ring up a VR, a hard-coded register would not allow the transaction. The clerk at my local CVS was willing to try, but got blocked :(

That's left over from the old days of carbon copy imprint receipts, and it's been over a decade since I've seen one of those.

This is only a problem if you're doing a lot of OVs. A lot of people do the BB reloads and one or two MO or BP at a time, and OVs are just fine for them.
I wish all cards including CCs would just stop using raised numbers. That's left over from the old days of carbon copy imprint receipts, and it's been over a decade since I've seen one of those. |
