In Madison, three stores that I visited last week for the $5 GC offer sold me $1000, although most asked for my ID to compare names. One other told me $500 max, so I skipped that one. I never tried $2000.

Tried to buy 2 VGCs for the $5 WG GC promo. Cashier couldn't get it to work. Manager tried and couldn't figure it out, then told me I could only buy $500/day in gift cards. I pointed to the WG promo, and stated I wanted to buy 2 $500 VGCs to get the promo. She just couldn't figure out how to do it and gave me that excuse. I kindly left. 2 other WGs sold me all I wanted.

I've seen several references to the buy 2 GC, get $5 WG GC. My local ad has the buy 2 iTunes GC get $5 WG GC, but it is specifically for iTunes GCs. What markets are you guys in that have the buy 2, get $5 GC for VGC?

all walgreens in my area allow vgc with cc. Many have implemented a 500 $ daily limit, however.

Is this still good to go? Does the system limit you per transaction, or can I get 2x$500 VGC in a single transaction? New WG went up by my house so it would be great if they worked.

the only times they allow purchase of 2 variable up to $500 on each is when they had promo like the one last week buy 2 vanilla visa, get $5WAGGC free. when there's no promo, they limit to one $500 load to any VGC, including PPMC at most stores.

there may be stores that will still allow purchase of 2. just try your store and see.

Thanks guys, I'll try at my store. Is it a $1,000 limit per transaction, or just a 1 per customer?

Corporate policy is $500 per day. Some stores don't know/don't care.

Thanks. Will the WG POS drain the $500 from my AGC and then prompt for the remaining $4.95 or would I need to specify a split tender?
