Maybe this whole VR thing is just a conspiracy orchestrated by the pharmaceutical industry to get more prescriptions written.

So the new game is RXing? Or maybe it should be VRXing.

How many beans would you hoard if you should find one?

All of them.

Ah...of course. Good advice. I am such a lite MSer to even ask that question. Plus I just got some trouble at WM for MO with the cashier saying she couldn't split the debit amounts in MO. That seemed to be a first for me.

I had to LOL at the sight too. Well over 200 VRs on the rack that you know are going nowhere.

Maybe OD has forgotten the VR fiasco. Borrow a couple and see if they ring up at OD lol.

Do you mean STEAL a few? Borrow implies that you will be giving them back.

That's a bad idea, and really unnecessary since OD still carries VR. I've tested it sporadically since the OD shutdown and they always immediately say cash-only. Will need to wait a bit longer for newbie cashiers that don't know what they are so we can at least get a confirmed machine decline, though I'm sure that's still the case.

Is CVS completely done with "any" prepard card purchase "including" OV and Visa GC? I went to a couple CVS yesterday, and they have a huge sign over the shelf of prepard cards saying "all prepaid card are cash or debit card only" and they refused to sell me the OV with cc payment, insisting the "cash or debit only" rule apply to "all" according to corp (however refused to show me the memo arguing it is for internal only, should I call to complain?)

Nope - just move on..

I have one CVS that refuses to sell by manager decision and the 5 around that location sell what is allowed by memo. No use in stirring things up.

If you have more than one store saying the same thing, then it very well could be an area directive and that'll be hard to fight, since we've experienced individual stores' ability to set their own limits/rules.
Assuming that you've already pointed out that these are gift cards and not pre-paid, the best suggestion would be to go back at a different time, with different employees working.

No need to wait, I had a cashier try to ring up a VR at OD this weekend (just in case!) and the register immediately flagged it as cash only.

I just bought $1K OVs at CVS on Tuesday to pay my taxes, so that's an individual store decision. No point in complaining, they have the right to do that. And if they actually put up signs, you aren't going to get anyone to even try ringing it up.

Hopefully you have other CVS locations nearby that don't have that policy.

I bought 3k and DW 5k yesterday, so we are good here in Bay Area.
