Why is it so hard or people to ask for a MO with change added?
One store I go to charges $0.99 for a MO. I proudly proclaim I want a MO for $499.01. Not a penny goes to waste. |

Seriously. Go stand near the MO counter at one of your local establishments and listen to the amount people ask for. Rarely do I ever hear people asking for even dollar amounts.

If you want to feel less suspicious, write down the amount on a scrap of paper and read it off when asked.

What I sometimes do is I plug the math into my phone calculator and just show them the phone. It's easier too when you have such odd numbers. |
i don't know how smoothly you guys pull this off but i did a few times the $999.21 MOs. When there is a line behind me with a few people, buying 2 of these with 2 split tenders is a hassle. So i switched to buying 2 MOs with $999 each which sounded like a rounded figure and splitting with 4 cards which seemed to work better.

Yay! I found a store that takes "debit" so I was able to cash out my OVs from last week. Sure it will suck going from $1000 MO for $0.00 to $500 MO for $0.79-$0.89. However, it will be cheaper than the $5.95 GCs at the grocery store and I can split up my purchases (not all at grocery store).

Sorry - I thought this thread was about CVS, not about MOs

Made a terrible noob mistake. Mixed up a card that did not accept CC, and I had the cashier cancel the entire transaction. Trouble is that I already signed, and it looks like I paid for my VGC, but the entire transaction was voided.
The VGC have no value, I can't check their balance on the phone, but a hold has posted to my credit card. Should I expect the hold to drop off eventually? Or will I have to file a dispute with my card issuer? |
