I'm sorry I'm sort of a noob when it comes to the slang around here. I have been buying the Vanilla Reload cards for a while now at CVS and just last week was told the same thing as everyone else already knows. "Cash only." So what cards are you guys purchasing now that you are still able to load onto your bluebird?

Is it the same $500 limit on these cards? I like loading my bluebird and paying my student loans while getting miles for it. Thanks in advance for any help.

I was going to post "read the Wiki", but in this case the Wiki just doesn't answer your question.

OneVanilla Debit (VGC) at CVS. $500 per card, fee $4.95. Max purchase at CVS is $5K per rolling 24 hr time frame. Then you load to BB at WM. I'm not much help there, since I've never done that. I just do bill pay with OV at WM.

Perhaps someone can add a link to a BB thread...

Thank you...that is half my answer. So the OneVanilla Debit cards are still able to be purchased at CVS using our credit cards. Now I just need to figure out how to load them at Walmart onto my BB account.

You go to any register or the money center and ask the cashier to load it. They swipe the BB card and ask you how much. You confirm the $$ amount on the keypad, then swipe your OV. Use any random 4 numbers for the PIN. Receipt prints. Done.

a c'vs in my town where they had always allowed me to purchase vgc with cc today denied my transaction. They claimed the store mgr received a call from loss prevention and gave instruction to cease selling gc via cc pymt. as with vrs', i think vgc will also go the way of the dodo bird too.

btw, circles and arrows all the way around. another thread just posted today.

really.... So you go out and place 3K on your Amex card and really don't know how to go about this? Send the cards to me, I'll take care of them for you!

How much have you read up on this game? I would head over to a blogger and read their detailed step by step process on this game before you go out and place 5K on your CC, then come back here and ask how do you load them to your BB account...

ever wonder how many of these people work for banks or walmart corporate?

or worse yet, just read bits of some blogs and think they have all the answers?

arg, I've been out of the game for a month (vacation in italy on SPG points :)), so what are we all purchasing now VGC's? or OV's depending on mgr??

Don't take one store policy as the rule. Always someone can point out a store with a different policy and then they freak out and blah blah blah

I have 1 store that is the same way and 5 stores that say come and buy me.. Relax until every store in your area has the same policy.

I ignore these people - dont feed the trolls.

While I've had no issues buying VGCs with a CC at our formerly favorite drugstore, the supply really seems to have dried up. One store was completely out, another I had to really search before I found one hidden behind some AGCs. Never had any trouble finding these before.

There may have been a slight shift in purchasing patterns.

Same here. I had no problems until late last week. The manager stopped me right as I walked in and told me loss prevention said cash only now for vgc. I guess I'll try the other one in town.

Yes, people would have changed their buying habits :-)

While i've never seen anyone buy (or even pickup/visit the gift card rack) a VR when I was there (a busy CVS), there surely are a lot of VR cards on the rack and now even next to the cash register at one of my walkable CVS stores...

When I went in yesterday, I couldn't find any OV cards, but found a VGC (variable for US$4.95 free / silver coloured). I figured I'd try my luck, and this morning I was able to add it to my BB account at a Wal-Mart register!
