Gas stations that offer $500 VGCs?
Has anyone seen any gas stations that offer $500 VGCs? I can't seem to find any in the bay area (more specifically, SF) and was wondering if this is a standard thing (like how office supply stores only stack up to $200 VGCs).

There basically aren't any, anywhere in the entire country, that will take CC as payment. A few 7-11s, here and there, and many of them aren't coded as Gas. 3Q Freedom spend is pretty much going to have to be on filling your tank.

I found a 7-11 by where I live (Boston area) where it gets coded as a fuel purchase - probably due to the fact that there is a gas station attached to it. They have no issues taking CC as a payment for the Vanilla Visa gift cards, no ID required either when asking for $500.
