I saw two racks of VR's at a big Walgreens the other day and sighed heavily.
My CC's were screaming at me to attempt to buy them even though my conscience told me it wouldn't work. DAMN YOU WG MANAGEMENT! |

Why did you have to insist on doing this at this particular CVS? Do you want these cashier to lose their job? As long as you get the benefits, screw everyone else involved?

It is always worth trying again, periodically, to see if anything has changed. This is how new FT discoveries happen. Example: WG may have realized their GC sales have totally tanked since cash only and some one in Marketing decides to try the old way......

Yesterday, I went to a nearest WG. They had no VISA/MC/AMEX GCs. There were like 10 stacks of VRs and lots of GD PrePaids. I drove 2 miles to get to another WG. It looked like unlimited amount of VISA/MC/AMEX GCs.

I wonder if one can refuse to have them scan your ID and just cancel out the transaction/just get one instead. The idea of CVS having my DL info is not comforting. I've yet to buy 2 in one transaction this month, so not sure if my area has implemnted that policy.

They never asked me for an ID, but they always want last 4-digits of the card around here.
