Yep, I've been there 4-5 times recently, first time the Sunday when it was widely publicized that they carry variables(18th?), some lady just bought the last 4 variables. Went on the following Thursday afternoon, there were 2 variables(purchased both with my Ink), I've been at least 3 times since...no variables.

My local OM manager told me that a customer phoned the store asking to order $4,000 in $500 VGC by mail. The customer wanted to pay over the phone and have the store mail the cards to him. He then became belligerent when the manager was unable to fulfill his request. It's idiots like this who ruin the deals. Unbelievable!

Correct. Just bought 5 of them and dumped 3 to Serve @ WM within an hour or so. Stopped at 3 broken KATEs before hitting CS at the last one, which was the only one without a line practically out the door.

Went to my OM yesterday (have not been there in months) and saw fixed price VGC's and below those there were 2 racks of empty VGC's slots. I am guessing those are the spots for the variable load VGC's. There were also 6 empty racks of Reloadit's, I have not gotten into that "game" yet, but for 5x I may have start looking at that option. The OM did have several variable MCGC's, has anyone ever tried loading them to Serve? I have heard you have to push the debit card button really fast. Is it worth the hassle?

Why wouldn't it be worth it? Loaded 2 MCGC yesterday. The button after swiping Is Change Payment Type. The button at one WM I go to does not appear and instead you have to hit cancel after swiping. Weird, I know, but it works.

Anybody else having difficulty assigning PINs today? Phone system won't recognize any of my card numbers, not even for older cards I have previously set PINS.

Same here. Keep getting the "unable to verify the security information" after inputting the 3 digit code on back. Mines is a MasterCard issued by US Bank.

Hope this is just a temporary system issue...
