Interested in Zimbabwean dollars? :D

Wouldn't the flight ticket expense makes this a negative margin endeavor? I think if you HAVE to travel, then this minimizes your travel cost. But still, you are not making money. You are just spending less.

Unless you can find ways around this. Maybe you are a Venezuelan pilot traveling every other day to the US ;)

This is completely OT but due to the limit I don't think Venezuela is in play. Now Argentina is a different story. The spread is not as big as Venezuela but there is not much limit except for the CC limit so you can easily make 30+% off that limit (not sure if you can turn over that limit several times in a billing cycle). As a matter of fact our Argentina contractors execute this (buy OV and cash out) for every trip they make to the U.S. Free money to them since their trip is already paid for.

For them, no.

If they came here and bought $2,500 in GC for 6.3 VEF (Bolivar) to USD, they would pay 15,750 VEF for 2,500 USD.

If they converted and took that money home, that USD is worth 60-75,000 VEF on the black market.

They profit tens of thousands in VEF after flight costs in a country where the yearly minimum wage is 4,500 VEF.

Not to go too far off topic but both countries have thriving currency black markets due to absurd currency controls.

I can see it being amazingly profitable for someone who knows what they're doing to buy VRs in the states for use there.

Searched thread to see if you can go to multiple CVS stores and make purchases. Didn't see anything. i.e.- go to CVS #1 and purchase $5k then go to another store within 30 minutes and purchase $5k. Or is this not allowed as they scan your ID and limits you at all CVS's for 24 hours? Then an you use a passport at one then a drivers license at another?

Won't work.

You can buy under $1k at the other stores but that's it.

I prefer to use my birth certificate and show them the bottom of my foot.

What is confusing about the wiki?

1) What are u buying for $5k+ at cvs? OV?

2) If any cvs scans your DL, it goes in their system.

My go to CVS was all out of OVs, first time I have ever seen them all gone. Either someone cleared them out or they are no longer stocking them. Time to visit the further CVS.

My go to CVS pulled all the OVs a while ago, I was trying to purchase 4 and when they scanned the 1st one an error popped up....2nd one same thing. The clerk called over a floor manager and she read something on the register screen and said 'we'll have to pull the off the rack'. They left it empty for about 3 or so weeks. I went by on Monday and saw a few of them back on but I wasn't buying any.

because you're the sole beneficiary?

Lol, nice pun, I think.

Anyone had luck using OV for MO?
