Yes SMGC Visa debit.

[QUOTE=webbiedo;23081555]If you load more than $1000 I would expect the system to refuse it.

I am loading to multiple bb cards, no more than $1000 per each card.

guess again

No, I asked the manager and that is what he said.

Which manager was it? I can convince him otherwise.

SMGC also working here in CA, loaded 2x500 today.

Mr. S.A. Shop, in Watertown, MA

Its because everyone is yapping in here about this!!!

Geesh whats it gonna take for people to see that, the end of ms?

Comically stupid

MM, do you deny any role for the "heavy hitters" like yourself? You say you spread it out very lightly, but that is still adding volume to the system, so if your $2K MO purchase at Store X is adding to 3 more $2K purchases there by others, maybe the manager of Store X decides "Something is going on" and it becomes cash only. And you are doing this at lots of stores. So beam in own eye etc.

This this +100000 this.

If you have/find a location that works my god keep it quiet please! You aren't making any new internet friends by sharing you are KILLING YOUR OWN DEAL!

I go to several stores
I go max 2x a week to most. One or two may see me 3x
I know the clerks mostly
They know me
I ALWAYS step aside to let other customers go ahead
I ALWAYS say thank you and please and ask how their day was etc
I am predictable and consistent and I attempt to make my transactions as painless for them as possible.

There are other heavy msers in my area. We have run into each other. We cultivate and manage stock like hunters

The staffs know of our patterns and routines

So far no issues. If they need forms or ids we present them no argument.

When new people may come to the area it works if its a few at most. Trouble is when there are unbalanced gangs or groups of people. This is when stores change their rules. Not cuzza me. No

Dont try to turn it round.

On a heavy buy day when I would go get $20-30k gc I would drive for hours to hit different locales and keep it at my max visits per week. Its not always the same day but it is a max of 2x a week. And the staff know and see and appreciate this!

Now too many people are in this. Yah its saturated. Many who still view it as just some cute hobbie and not a real means for things like serious travel or income-lile cash back. These new people aint all bad folk just cuz they is new... But the fact is theres too many. The stores cant handle it.

We have to get more lets say selfish about this stuff in order to survive. Not blurt out everything. Let in only those to our worlds who can show certain qualities or mannerisms that we enjoy or do when we engage in successful ms. And for each of us, those qualities or qualifications are varied.

The fact remains: if you liked everybody and you found out that LH was giving up first class tickets to Munich for Oktoberfest for 67k one way, only like 10 people can actually sit in those award seats. So if you like everybody, who are you gonna not tell or say oh well too? Theres only so much room and im sorry but thats a fact.

So dont underqualify.

Yea im a heavy ms hitter. I take this stuff seriously. If my stores start to change though, I can be 100% sure it wont be cuz of me. Its going to go sometning like this:

Me: hi id like mos or gcs please (like i did the other day)

Clerk: oh mm im so sorry. Theres been a change in corp policy due to some abuse by other people. Some guy bought these and was rude, another walked off w a mo, another flaunted that he was making all this money with gcs by gaming some cc, etc. also we had complaints by old regular customers about people taking up all the cs desk time with this and western union or moneygram finally had issue with all the dif debit card numbers we keep seeing here.

Sorry but i cant even sell these to you even if i wanted to. Say hi to your wife though, bye.

Me (under my breath) I blame all the people who somehow see this as a game and just didnt care that it had to end this way when they could have prevented it by just shutting up in ft about specifics and such.

You got it! If you must tell people, form a small email group!

Also one more thing Silver. Ive been doing ms in this and many forms for 15 years. Its changing now because of others not me

Deleted.

Were you banned from costco because of others too?

Don't bloggers have the resources to infiltrate private groups? There's no honor among thieves.
