Please read this thread for help with Debit cards: PIN available now for Visa/MC prepaid debit cards
Many stores that accept Gebit for regular purchases will not accept Gebit for a MO purchase.
Supermarket chain policy varies by region, and even by store to store within the same region.
e.g. Kr0g3r may allow such in the South and Southeast, but does not in West, Southwest, Northwest, etc
Publix & Walmart & Winn Dixie = NO auto drain.
Publix & Walmart allow splits
Places that sell MO (need more DPs):
Supermarket and Grocery Stores:
Walmart
Shoprite (?)
Stop & Shop
Weis (cash only)
Wegmans (?)
Drug Stores:
CVS (?)
Rite Aids (acquired by Walgreens)
Walgreens
Convenience Stores:
7-11 (?)
QuickChek (?)
Wawa (?)

Any word on the FLs from Bristol to Orange? Going up the Great Wagon Road in a few weeks and thinking of adding it to my paper route.
I hit about 5 FL 3 months ago and each one was different. They were all off 234 from Manassas to Woodbridge.. only 1 allowed me to do more than 1 swipe.. 3 asked to see my card so i did the same as you did with my real debit card. Was told the same thing 'NO GC'.. just not worth it for me to get $500 for each store.

why is everyone saying WM is drying up? Been business as usual in south Texas for the past three months. Sure, sometimes you get the odd store with different policies or annoying employee, but overall I have encountered no issues

The Wallys I go to when travelling for work during the week (Middle of Nowhere Mid West) allow me to do whatever I want, as long as I do not give them cash (to many counterfeit bills according to them) and the machine accepts the PIN Based Transaction. I do $1,000 MO with split payment and $0.68 fee in cash per MO without a problem, and sometimes the CSRs swipe my VGCs on their side. Now, if I try to do that where I live, that would be an immediate NO and show me your Debit Cards now. So, like others have said, it all depends where the Wallys are located

Hey OneWold82, any luck with HEBs? I'm in Austin and just recently got into MS. So far no luch at HEBs or other local "mexican" grocery stores that sell MOs. I would have thought that given the customer base they serve, these Mexican stores would be an easy place to convert, yet I found they only take cash.
Any reccomendations in Texas?
