Rite Aid

It appears that corporate Rite Aid sent a memo to all the stores which I was shown where they are no longer allowed to sell MO's using debit cards. This is a sad day for me.

I feel your pain. The loss of a liquidation source sucks. I recently had a duplicate Serve/BB account under my name and the BB got closed a couple weeks ago. I still miss it

I last got a MO Thursday. I'll try again in the next few days. If this is true, that's about 10K of MO a month for me gone. Ugh.

Just left my local RA (went 2x today) successfully got 3k of MO. Maybe this is a YMMV by store or regional?

I was turn down today but for a different reason. the cashier wanted to look at my card and says the debit card has to have my name imprint on there. I nod and walk away peacefully.

Again, maybe it is for the district or region? I am not sure. All I can say is he showed me something in print, and this store used to be tremendous for liquidation. The manager was about to allow the purchase when a store clerk stopped him to show him the corp. notice.

This has been YMMV for a while. I have a bunch of RA near me and none of them would put out except one. Then one day the cashier didn't know how to do a MO so she asked for the manager to help her. He said, "No Debit, who were the cashiers that let you do that?"

I just said I didn't remember and walked out peacefully. Another door closed. It was a great spot too because it was right next to my bank

Why not just switch to Walmart for MOs?

Because walmart is equally strict now. Unless the name is imprinted, or worse, no MO, though YMMV even at WM

I guess I am one of the lucky ones who has a WM who doesn't care.

Same. Not having a lenient WM would SERIOUSLY slow down MS.

I went to RA today and no problems. My WM has given me plenty of problems. Getting MOs is the most unpleasant part of what I do... I expect rejection every time I go to a supermarket.
