Yes, since they sell stuff like pencils, pens, and various other small office supplies.

I've been getting 5X with my Ink there for months. Just be sure to include something like a dozen pens with your purchase when you load up on VR's and the computer will code the whole thing as office supplies.

Can I start a blog with this info? Meaning I don't want to give any credit.

So the Astros beat the red Sox last nite... Does that mean Whitney beat Boston or Whitey did meaning he will get off scott free?
Or that VRs are somehow locked out of Massachusetts today?

Oh what does it all mean! :D:D

Is it all code?

Ink doesn't get 5x at CVS, no matter how many pens you buy. Some have a card that does get 5x (not UR points) but it is no longer available for new applications.

The card racks are inventoried and stocked / refilled by a 3rd party company (at least in the CA Bay Area). You'll see them wearing corporate polo shirts. I've actually bumped in to the same people loading the racks in CVS and OD in totally different parts of town.

yes, the register lets you buy up to 5k now :)

My CVS just pulled all VRs. They said that "someone from the company" (not sure if VR or a CC co.) told them they needed to scan IDs and call them before every sale, and the store decided it wasn't worth it to carry them any longer.

W-T-F

well..yesterday i bought 2...ID scan after the 1st one and then the 2nd VR able to showed up/transacted. So my bill showing at $1007.90

today, I tried to buy 3...right after your comment.

the cashier allowed them (yes, scored!!), BUT, all 3 are transacted in 3 different transactions with 503.95 amounts....OUCH!

not looking good...i was trying to fluctuate my spending in CVS with the 5k limits (1007.90 or 1511.85 and etc)....

hope this is error on her part!

I also had an issue buying more than one this evening. The DL scan wasn't working for some reason, and so I split my 2x VR into two transactions. Perhaps it was a systemwide issue.

When I went in to buy my $5k today and they scanned the my DL, it errored out at first and gave them a message that they couldn't sell these products to me. YIKES!!!!!!!!

But then I asked them to try it again and it went through.

Scared me for a sec
