Always test one gc before buying too many that you cannot liquidate.

As of 6/2017:

HB Vanilla mc & visa issued by Bancorp - liquidate at PO or some grocery stores, not WM. The Bancorp gcs are easier to liquidate.

Vanilla mc issued by MetaBank - might be able to liquidate at Kmart BP, Paypal, not WM or PO.

You guys do MS all wrong if you think thats bringing attention to yourself the wrong way.
Same at lots of places. Develop a relationship and its seen as normal. One of my go to stores just had a management turnover so I lowered the volume down a bit to build up the relationship with them.

I mean I completely agree with you. I routinely do 10K at simon. Obviously the game is take it slow & steady, but by any measures when the store employees get suspicious and you start sending someone else to do your bidding...it is by any means a sign to chill out.
Idk my goal has always been to fly under the radar.

Bought 3 Meta Bank OVMC from Sams Club. Tried redeeming for MO on grocery stores and it did not work as suggested on Wiki. Went to KMart and requested for BP. The BP system is not working at KMart. There is only one Kmart nearby. I bought OVMC without checking the Wiki. Can someone please help me how to redeem these 3 GCs for MO/BP? Thanks in advance.

From reading the threads, I added the wiki and now I updated it. What else should we add?

I find that this is absolutely the way to go if you can build a relationship with store personnel. Managment transistions can be tricky, though. I recently had a manager from one grocery that I frequent move to a second grocery that I frequent. He was a bit surprised to see me! But being above board is absolutely the way to go. My favorite thing is when I run across one of my regular CSRs training a new CSR: "This is Mr. Andyandy. He comes in here all the time, be sure to take good care of him."

Blech, I forgot about this issue and made the same mistake. Ended up using them to buy usable cards at CVS and ate the fee.

I've only had one incident of the meta OVMCGC not working for me at the grocery store. From then, I switched to the bancorp HB cards and it has always worked at any grocery store and gas station for MOs. I liked the fact that Sam's POS now allow several GCs per transaction, was able to get six in one transaction with the CSR

Yes, much easier at Sam's now. I only wish they'd match the price of SM

When did they switch that? Last time I bought 3 in April they required each one separately (even though it looks similar to Walmart where I can add as many on as the checkout person will allow).
