Definitely not corp policy, and a nonsensical rule too. Try a different store. I believe corp policy limits you to 1k/day, or at least that's the limit at most stores, but that's enforced by the store personnel and not the registers, which will allow you to ring up more than 1k at a time, or at least did the last time they let me do it which was awhile ago. I've found many BB cashiers have no idea how to ring up VGC as employee turnover is high and not many people buy them. Unless this store has their own version of the register software, which seems unlikely,

I bought 2 $200 VGCs (issued by Metabank) with a $5.95 fee on each. They were locked up behind the counter so I had to ask about them.
I split the transaction and put $250 on my AmEx and the remainder on another card. Got an email last night from AmEx Sync confirming the purchase.

It's back again. I've done it twice before already, know the drill.
Bought 5 X $200 VGC and paid with 4 different Amex cards for an easy $100 bonus. (The BB elite bonus and my CC bonuses will wipe out the $5.95 purchase fee).
Already received Amex sync confirmation thanking me for using my cards. ^

Not sure but most times I get the confirmation e-mail minutes after. I am not worried as it has always posted for me eventually.
