What's just is bad is that I have a place where I can "sometimes" get VRs on credit card depending on the cashier. However, they are ALWAYS out of stock. In my mind, I think "why can't these people that I assume aren't paying with credit card go to CVS where they are abundant and leave these for the credit card paying only people" :(

currently...
 

Currently, what is everyone using the GCs for? I know so much has changed, and I used to load my BB with the VO and VV GCs from CVS, but I guess that's not possible now? What are the options if I do end up finding a place to buy a debit GC with my CC?

Looks like my local CVS got a new manager...was greeted by cash only.
The cashier knows me very well and said "I'm sorry, I know I sold you a lot, he's the manager."

Well Santa sure gave you a nice little early Christmas present this year.

I use them to pay for one week fantasy football leagues.

I use them to pay my monthly fees to the secret private forums discussing MS.

The few times I've gotten that at CVS I've argued, politely, with the manager about what the policy actually is and always end up getting them to let the cashier try. After that I never have any problems with the manager.

my brain starts playing "Sometime Around Midnight" by The Airborne Toxic Event...

...so, yeah kinda

terrific song.

Great to see some TATE fans in here.

Although if you're paying for membership you're doing it wrong.

Can you pay that thru Kate at WM? If so, will OVs work, or do I need to use SMGCs

I use my extra airline miles to pay for the membership to supersecret forum discussing MS and airline miles.

Since I am blackballed from those forums, I use my OVs to pay for assertiveness training classes.

They are training me to stand up to cashiers and managers, e.g. "It's all very well you telling me that the register won't let you take credit cards for this, but are you going to let a mere machine tell you what to do. Yes, I know the manager showed you a memo, but that's just a piece of paper. So, come on, my good woman, and ring this up."

This is all class work, trying it in the real world next week!

You still pay? There are now forums out there that pay you. I am a member of one where we pool together our resources and MS about $250,000+ a month. The forum admin pays $5,000 a month to each member, but membership is extremely tough to get (think of it like the Centurion Card X 100).
