As has been reported -numerous- times already CVS now scans for cards over $300.

Not only that, lately when I go to CVS to buy OVs, they insist on swiping my credit card. :eek:

I'm confused. Why do people care if they swipe or you swipe? Fraud risK?

My post was a joke. Who cares if CVS swipes your DL. I really doubt they are going to get into the identity theft business, and they will still sell you GCs even if you have a DIU on your record. :p

Did CVS stop stocking Spotify gift cards? I haven't bought one in several months, and no longer see them.

AveApostle Oct 30, 2014 12:39 pm

they are getting harder and harder to spotify see one i'll let you know

Dunno, but CVS stores in Miami have a flashlight that can be used on cards to detect if fake. If the card is in their hands they can test it. Actually pretty cool as we want the fraudsters caught as they are simply bad news for the MS industry.

Are the issues with their systems resolved today? Was not able to buy any cards due to system malfunction yesterday.

Like Target (last year) and Home Depot this year. They collect info for your protection (;)) and they have your email address to inform you that 'Your identity may have been compromised ':rolleyes:

My regular CVS gave a message "alternate payment required" for buying 2K in PPC.
I hope it not to be Cash or Debit only payment for GC at CVS.

My local CVS was quite happy to sell me $2K of OVs yesterday afternoon. I don't know if that was the limit, that's all I asked for. $2K more today, and $1k more tomorrow, and I'm set to max out BB for November. Then I''m moving on to Redbird. Bye Bye WM, I won't be missing you. :D

Yep, you should definitely stop going to CVS as they will no longer allow you to use your card to buy. Well, at least until you clear the likely fraud alert.
