Paying Chase is best bet with these IMO.

Curious how the TD Buxx card is going to work. Was hoping 7-11 would be an option to use it at.

At this point, I am not too worried about getting less profit than to just drain the OVs. I guess Incomm doesn't really want our business. First the VRs being cash only and now Vanilla VGCs/OVs.

Yup I know some folks are going to continue to pout and shout that they will be losing more profit instead of being clever and find other ways to get rid of these OVs. Mind as well find new ways to workaround this issue.

How long does it take the 7-11 ATM BP to post onto your account? 1 or 2 business days?

They say 1 but it sometimes takes 2 for me. This past Saturday, for instance, I paid my CSP, Ink and Freedom. CSP and Freedom posted on Monday. Ink didn't post until Tuesday.

This is absolutely true and is still a good profit margin. I guess I just meant that I have other ways I can liquidate these that cost less so I prefer other forms/methods of payment when using 7-11.

Damn made a 7-11 ATM BP around 7:45 PM PST and it says on the receipt it will be posted on Tues, 6/24. I was hoping it would post on Mon, 6/23. Hopefully it goes through.

I was the original person that told of the OV option. They have effectively pushed me away from this option. I thought this was the golden goose and was destroying it and then I got a phone call out of nowhere wanting SS, ID, copies of all statements etc. I also had to fill out a form which was required for over $3,000 in transactions. They will combine multiple days worth of transactions to reach that number. They were requesting statements from a card I hadn't paid in over a month. I complied and then have let this one go.

I would appreciate a PM about any other non-MO options for those that are benefiting off of this. I have some other tricks up my sleeve I can swap also.

This was one of those finds that showed me what this game is all about. Everyone said pre-paid cards wouldn't work. I gave it a shot and hit pay dirt.

I thought by telling about this option someone would return the favor with a PM but that never happened. Lesson learned, especially with the recent developments.
