Just an update for those of you who may be reading this thread for the 1st time... 7/11 no longer accepts C.C. for VR purchases.
Also there are people who are claiming they are still buying VR's at 7/11's, however, they are not willing to say what city they are in. I would suspect that this isn't true, since 7/11 has hard coded their cash registers to NOT accept CC for VR's, however, you can still purchase VGC with a CC.

Was visiting family in So Cal (San Gabriel Valley) over the weekend. I hit up three seven eleven's; terminal declined CC purchase for VRs for each one. Used Ink, SPG Amex, Hyatt cards.
Came back to PDX and hit up the one 7-11 that without fail allows CCs for VRs without fuss. I'd purchased as recently as last Monday; this morning, the terminal declined CC purchase. Once I removed it from the transaction, the purchase went through. Cashier told me a coding change was made last Friday at their store.

Yeah my go-to store shut down last week. This weekend I did find 2 new locations that are in an area I frequent about once every or every other week. Hopefully they stay alive a little longer.

Certainly, they are 3 locations approximately within 15 miles of each other. I have only purchased in increments of $500 w/ ink. I sometimes buy a snack to alter the final price. When the news of failures were published I made a successful purchase yesterday and at a second location today. I hope this helps.

I'm still running into no problems. Only time I do is when it takes 4-5 days for the charges to post from pending, 7-11 seems to be famous for batching their purchases once a week. My cards usually end up getting denied if there are 3-4 separate purchases pending on my cards. As soon as they go to posted, all is good.
