So, are the Vanilla PPVCs new to CVS? I went to grab some Vanilla VGCs and grabbed 2 of them instead. No sign of the word gift on them anywhere and they loaded just fine to the RC. I've never noticed them before.

What are PPVC? PayPal Visa cards?

Are they issued by Bancorp, like Vanillas?

They are Vanillas. They just don't say gift.

Thanks. I guess I never noticed the PPVC on the packaging. I like those the best.

I buy them occasionally, but prefer the gift cards as they don't have raised numbers and make neater stacks. :)

That's a MyVanilla prepaid reloadable. Quite useful during the Vanilla Reload heyday but not much point to them now AFAIK.

Mine go right in the trash after I drain them.

Wow! Where have you been?? Those are called OneVanillas. People around here constantly refer to it as 'OV'.

Ah, sorry. One too many Sierra Nevada Barrel-Aged Narwhal Stouts. :D

I'm pretty new to this. And, I've never noticed them before. Plus, I shop at this particular CVS a lot and they were placed where the VVGC are normally placed.

I prefer the raised lettering... That way if a nosy MO cashier happens to glance at my card as I swipe it, they *might* think it's a real debit card :)

Had to laugh earlier today. I went to my local CVS to buy some this morning with my Arrival and got hit with a payment not authorized block. Thought it was a fraud alert but Barclays said it was on CVS' end. This is the first time I've used a real credit card there in probably 18 months... Every other purchase has been with an AGC and I've never had one issue (with the terminal or unfriendly cashier). Go figure. Worked just fine when I went back at lunch tho. Thanks for messing with my 24 hour clock CVS, I really appreciate it lol.

I assume though that a minimum, you have seen people around here say "OV" on most MS threads. But now you know.
