Their front page only list some partners. Anyone know where to find a list like MP or RL has?

Edit: Seem I can't find RL's list. Used to be on front page. Any help there is appreciated.


I know about the ML link. RL used to show 17 cards where you could scroll a slideshow at the bottom and see them. VR does not tell you what prepaid cards you can load to.

Ho ho ho, CVS update.

Went back to the first store I was initially verbally denied at and just tried to buy a VR. Different cashier, no problems getting the VR. After checking out, I asked if there was a limit to VR purchases. She thought for a moment and then vaguely recalled they may be capped at $1000- didn't seem like it was a policy that had been drilled through their heads.

I figure I'll ramp up purchases per day gradually until I hit $5k/month or so. I have the old blue amex that'll give me 5% back once I hit $6500 in spending. I've actually used this card for dollar coin purchases without issue, but I think AMEX is going to be more suspicious when handing out big rewards of $5000+/month spending at a pharmacy...if anyone asks, my cancer is back.

Bottom line: A printed statement above the CVS giftcards of a cash only policy for prepaid debit cards is not dispositive of cc acceptance. Appears to be a cashier-implemented refusal, not a register one.

Hi,

Can anyone pls help me on where I can find Vanilla Reload cards in Des Moines? I have visited all 3 CVS and not one has it. They have the "myvanilla debit" which eveyone on this forum is advising to stay away from.

LA is dry as a bone at the moment, except at the (many) places where they don't sell them on CC. Hopefully this is not a trend that portends a policy shift...

Thanks. I've yet to find them at that store. But will check it out if I'm in the area soon. Had to settle for $2k PP cards at local CVS tonight. Will have to load them next month unless there is another way around the $4k limit.

Bought ONE VR today w/CC
 
Now I don't know if I should load my Emerald or my BB....

Very nice cashier, told me he would need my DL and a matching CC at gas station convenience store. It was not in my neighborhood and I don't know if I should try it again next week.

This was not a -4, BTW. Tried there first, register prevented the sale.

I was not successful in my recent attempt for VR at 7-Eleven, either, but found out I could buy a single $500 PayPal loader. Two did not work.

I buy VRs with a CC to the tune of 5K/week without batting an eye
