Stopped by two RA on my way home yesterday...

Easiest damn thing I've done in a long time. Even got lucky with a cashier - "you're my first one, never done this before." "you did great, why don't we do another one just to be sure you've got it down?"

Yeah, this is a great find for however long it lasts. I've hit 4 different stores in the past few days and only 1 gave me any resistance (cash only - same store just allowed me to use debit so it was that particular cashier enforcing non-existent rules). Vanilla and MC no issue at all. Much faster than WM (although I did manage to do 3 loads today at WM - no lines). I am sticking to 1 load with no split tender per trip for now, however.

When loading to Serve with a gift card at RA, do you have to enter a PIN #?

I think you mean to say "when loading to serve with a DEBIT card at RA..." and yes. That's why it's a debit card, not a credit card. (just forget all about the "gift" logo, please.)

I've had success just pushing the green button for CC when it asks for a PIN. Did id on accident, it worked....tried again on another occasion and it worked too.

Never mind, I misinterpreted it as you loaded serve With a CC.

Do we have enough going on in this RA Master Thread to merit a sticki-wiki?

Just to clarify, are you buying the Vanillas at Rite Aid, too, or somewhere else? And for what value?

These same Vanillas could not be loaded at Walmart, right?

Thanks!

I'm buying vanillas at CVS, 4x$500. I haven't tried buying the vanillas at rite aid as I would rather use Rite Aid to load VGCs rather than buying VGCs. And yes vanillas cannot be loaded at Walmart.

Awesome, thanks for the info.

Have you ever had any problem paying with a CC for $2000 of vanillas at a time at your CVS?
