Do the CVS cashiers ever ask you what the gift cards are for? I notice a lot of times they ask if it's for a birthday.

Confirmed that the variable up to $500 amex gift cards which had no fee last week now show a fee. Good while it lasted.

Do you and PaulMSN live in the same area? If so, that would explain it :D

The jig is up nationwide at CVS in my opinion.

I've had teenage cashiers ask me if I'm doing it for airline miles. And MS is very light in my area compared to others - my most frequent store I've been told only one other person does it.

If that store knows what is going on, probably most all of them do.

So what they know? CVS doesn't care if we're buying them for birthdays, miles, or meth. They care about the bottom line, not the use after we leave the store.

A cashier at one of my local CVS said something along the lines of "it's so cool that you guy have figured out how to use this for free travel". A manager at another store told me one of her customers said he was doing something like $100K a month thru many different locations. :D

All of that was back in the VR days, and things are still going well here. The "jig will be up" when I can't buy GCs with a cc, but that hasn't happened here yet.

Please do explain. How does one make meth with GCs? My dealer does not accept them for payment (says Square keeps shutting him down).

You grind up the GCs into a fine powder. However, this only works with GCs that have balances on them.:p
