Many CVS stores are open 24-7. Is this something special or new???????

I am pretty new to MS and was exclusively doing the VR > BB until the shutdown. Since then I have been buying OV at CVS and going to Wally Mart. Load the $1k to my BB at ANY register and then buying two $1k MO from the service desk (I know I could buy another $1k but this is my personal comfort zone) - couldn't be easier. Yes, it involves an extra step of going into a CVS as well as a Wally Mart but it honestly has been much smoother than I ever could have anticipated...

lol

Ya, 24-hour CVS stores have existed forever.

Never knew you could load VR to BB at WM.... Why would anyone want to do this?

Assuming one has internet access, I don't get it either. But loading OV to BB at WM is a reasonable way of doing MS. You do get to miss the $1.88 fee for CF BP, but it just seems easier to skip the BB step and just pay the bill.

Oh, I just remembered, you can't pay AMEX with WMBP, so there might still be a use for BB after all. So far I have enough ordinary spend to cover my AMEX spend needs, but if I get all 3 of the AMEX cards I just applied for yesterday that could change for a month or so.

Need some help. Bought two OV visa debit cards. Went to wm. Transaction failed each time I tried to load to amex BB. Failed at register and failed at money center. Went home called OV after I could not register my zip code or see balance on web page. Car directed me to vanilla gift card center. No idea why. The sticker on my card said log on to one vanilla.com
Go back to wm. Failed again. Finally bought two MO and left. Called OV support they claim issue is with WM. What am I missing? OV site shows error message. Gift card site shows full balance and transaction info yet I know I bought an OV visa debit card!
Any one able to shed some light please? Thx

What is the error message at the OV site?

Anyway, since the cards look OK at the other site, try resetting their PINs. Also try to use one to make a small purchase at a store run as credit. And try again at WM. Sometimes there are glitches of this kind that are only temporary.

Right. I received my 2nd Exec card on April 3rd. Bought $5K a bit before 7PM and more shortly after 7PM. Worked fine.

Did you buy gift cards or a pre paid debit card?
You want Visa gift cards to load to your BB at Walmart, I have never tried pre paid debit cards but have had 100% success with vanilla Visa gift cards.

Really? Thought I was supposed to avoid vgc's and buy OV to load onto bb at wm? Perhaps that is the issue? No problem buying MO with the debit cards just failed to load to bob each time.

^

they're both essentially the same product and work the same way... are you sure you're loading your BB correctly if at a Kate kiosk (use the moneycard option rather than the BB button) or your cashier knew what they were doing loading at the register?

looks like there's nothing wrong with the OVs since you obv bought some MOs.. perhaps there was a glitch on the BB side, which should be temp. try again another time.

VR never can be loaded to BB at WM. VR can only be loaded to anything, from online Vanillareload.com.

So you knew it wrong or not knew anything.

The answers to your questions is in the STICKY of this forum and in this thread.

I'm not the person you're asking, but yesterday and today the OV website says something like "An internal error occurred" when I try to check the balance or set the PIN for a new OV card. (Edit: I meant "register the ZIP", not "set the PIN")
Is everyone else having the same problem? (I'm guessing just a temporary glitch with the OV website)
Or is this code for something else specific to my card / IP address, etc?

I have the same issue with all my OVs I purchased a few days ago when I try to check the balance..."An internal error occurred"
