I always have trouble finding them in stock at CVS's here in ATL but has anyone ever tried paying with Google Wallet or ISIS mobile wallet from the phone in CVS?
Could this potentially cut down on the cashier hero factor jumping in front of the no CC bullet? May not code as directly from CVS for card bonuses, idk.

Popped my Vanilla MS cherry. Barclays security
Hey guys, so was on way home today and popped my MS cherry.
Have a couple of cards coming that have a $10k spend in 3 months that might need a hand. Decided to test it now before I get those cards with my Barclays Rewards that gives 2% cash back @ CVS.
Got the VR card on the wall (and there were tons of them), found some Fiji water on sale, and went to cash register. Cashier was friendly, did not even blink. Total bill was $508 (water, $500 reload, and fee). Gave her card and bam... came up with a security check at register that she needed to call in.
the system gave her some issues, so I just handed her my Cap 1 Quick Silver for the 1.5% and that went through no problem.
Has anyone had this happen before?
Is Barclays just really on this?
Edit: Loaded to blue bird no problem. Also used my CVS card, got some $1 off extra bucks coupons that I figure can use in the future to reduce the cost even more.
I figure $7.50 in rewards for $3.95 is not bad to try it out.

After the cashier went through all of the processes (It took like 5 mins IIRC), no problem ever since.
