That's all I'll say w/o giving up too much ;)

I'll second this generosity by saying I've found two more locations that CC can be used to purchase. Neither of them are on the VR site list. That brings my list to 3. If you are in AZ, WY or IL send me a PM and I'll give some details.

To be a little bit fair, all the stuff about scanning DLs (at that point focussed on VR) used to be in the Wiki, but now it has gone. Newer people might be surprised and think it is post-worthy. Yes, they could read the thread and see it has been mentioned many times, but that's just not going to happen.

In that case I owe mh1361 an apology. I haven't checked the Wiki lately, and assumed it was still there. And we can hardly expect any newcomers to this thread to read all 600 + pages of this thread. At least not the first day. :)

I'll have to check that out later. Thanks for the link.

Someone should definitely add that your DL is going to get scanned for purchases of $1k or more, and if that's a problem limit your transactions to just under that amount. DL scans have been problematic in some areas (including mine) due to higher fraud scrutiny, I've been denied more than once at CVS with them for no reason I can see other than that my area is much tighter on multiple GC/VR sales.

Pure FYI - I think I saw this a few pages back. CVS is now TRULY enforcing the rolling 24 hour window.

What a lunch break I just had.
1. went to cvs, manager rings up 5k worth of OV, then I proceed to pay with AGC. He said,"sorry no gc for gc". The cashier that usually rang me up was on the next line. bad luck. So I left.
2. went to my other CVS, when I got there, the manager and cashiers were outside. One yelled out "no power". wth. so I left.
3. decided to visit costco to withdraw from ATM for Amex for Target. Got there. ATM down. wth.

Got a slice of pizza and went back to work.

I just didn't know it was for 1k. I've seen plenty of posts that they'll do it for more, like 5k, I just didn't realize what limit prompted the scan.

I took my wife out on the rounds tonight, and it was a similar story. We visited 5 stores, and 2 were out of stock. I almost got cash only at a usually reliable store. We then went to liquidate to gift cards. She asked me if it was really worth it, but the cash back in the process had paid for our gas, groceries, and dinner in a few hours we had been out. :D

I don't understand why people worry about getting their DL scanned. Once your credit card is swiped they have all your information anyway.....
