Ya...because the cashier will not notice that you have different first names. Are you serious?!?! Please tell me what you were joking.

OK it was a dumb question relax

Actually, on many occasions I have shown my ID and then swiped my a CC with my wife's name on it. Never had a problem. Of course, this is at a CVS I regularly visit and where they know me. So at this point, they barely even look at what I'm handing them.

$300 ID threshold?
 

Around 22OCT, my local CVS, like most locations nationwide, started asking for ID after scanning the first $500 OV. However, on my last four visits (starting around 30OCT) my usual clerk got prompted to scan my ID after the second $500 OV -- just as it was for the many months pre-22OCT.

So, is the ID threshold at some locations back to $1000?

May be.....

last week at 1 cvs store my ID was scaned for $500 (cashier showed me the screen) and yesterday at other store I was ready with my ID, but she did not ask. Cashiers at both stores knew me.

I bought 1500 at 6pm saturday and then at 5:30 Sunday I tried to buy $1500 at another store. The guy looked at the screen funny and said he had never seen this error but I had reached my $2000 limit for the day. I said oh yeah got some yesterday and just bought 500. I didn't know about the rolling 24hrs, now I do

Do this all the time, not just at CVS. Drives my wife nuts...lol

This happened to me and wife today. We each purchased a batch over the weekend (Saturday, I believe) and had to have ID scanned after 1st card. Today, for both of us, the ID scan was not required until after the third card was scanned.

Makes me wonder if the $2k limit is still there or not...

Can't you just ask them to pay, let's say, 250 on 1 swipe and 250 on the next?

not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but if its to avoid DL scan, ithas nothing to do with payment, but rather the transaction level. You have to scan the DL before even scanning any forms of payment, which means it is also necessary for those that pay cash.

It's crazy, but I accidentally pulled out my son's AU card and the cashier asked me "Who's Fred*?"
"My minor son." (I'm female).
"Oh," he said, "ok" and swiped it.

I was floored, but happy. I wanted those points. They might know me there, I have a distinctive last name. I certainly know most of the CVS cashiers in my small town, from the VR days.

Plus there is explicit language in the latest CVS memo that refers to trying to evade the CVS $ limit as "structuring", and states it's against CVS policy. So if you do get caught trying that, you might get banned from MSing there. Hardly worth it, since you can legitimately do $60K a month (at most locations), and there is no way you are going to be able to exceed that with any of the schemes mentioned so far.

I haven't had to run my ID for $500 last couple days. I've been wondering too.

My ID wasn't scanned for single $500's today or yesterday.

Happened to me today too. They checked my ID for anti fraud purposes, but didn't scan it. It seems to be YMMV.
