Passport, Passport ID card, or Global Entry ID card alternative for CVS

so I started avoiding CVSs that cant scan the barcode with the gun (gun scan always works perfect), because the mag strip method for me is crap

never tried using my alternate ID forms (Passport, Passport card, or Global Entry card)

Anybody have info on which of these alternate forms works best, or is even accepted?

Yes, got this last night, thought maybe it's that janky CVS's computer, but this morning happened again at a different store. Looks like a system-wide issue or they're "enhancing" the database

Meh - same message here in Miami area. How can we hope to save the world economy from recession if we can't spend our money on GCs at CVS? Beginng to wonder if it was really Brexit or a CVS system failure that triggered this June stock market crash.:td:

Yes, just retry it. It took me 3 tries before it worked. I called amex, but it wasn't being denied by them.

Anyone wondering whether CVS started to ban certain ID? I got the same message today after having my ID scanned but succeeded on the second transaction right after (<30s) using my mom (she is with me)'s ID on the same VGCs at the same store... got me worried that CVS might start to watch certain ID with big volume of VGCs purchased in the past..
