Confirming the $5K new story line too. I just returned from my standby CVS and the store manager suggested that I can now buy up to $5K a day instead of the typical $1K. I just had the typical two cards in my hand and there are plenty on the rack available whenever I wish (I know...I am fortunate). I think I will go back tomorrow and see if I can really get $5K in one transaction.
In addition, I was not asked for any form of identification (other than me consistently flashing my drivers license to the cashier to validate the name is the same on the credit card I am using. |
I just came back from my Rx store.
Regretfully, the 5K limit is true. Going forward it will be no more than $5,000 or 10cards per day. |

@carsnoceans
I see what you mean. You reckon it is too high :)
In DC area, maybe, I heard horror stories of people hiding beans at last FTU's discussions. In my neck of woods, it is lot easier as you found out on your last trip. Slow and steady.... |

Stores run out with 1K/person limit. What do you think is going to happen with $5K/person limit?

Does it really matter? A card is a card. they are practically identical to the old ones. Old? New? Just as long as they have them.

I've only seen those new ones at -4 stores. interesting that they're showing up at CVS now.

The 5K limit is meaning less unless you are using high dollar GCs or will split up the transaction among many cards.
I dare anyone to consistently spend 5k at a drugstore. If there's a promo going on their cards wont make it till the end of the month. |

Confirmed in San Diego area that ID (driver's license) is required to purchase more than one VR. ID screen did not pop up until the 2nd VR was entered.
I chatted with the checkout person and she and her colleague confirmed it was new and they said it was to make sure you did not buy more than $1K per day. She said there were some people that came in and went "round and round" at the same store buying $1K per transaction. She also said she heard that the data was shared with all stores so that you could not hop stores in the same day. Anybody able to hop stores in the same day? |
