Hopefully, you called the store soon as you found out so they can check the trash and retrieve your card so you can pick it up anytime. Since vanilla cards they sell are scanned and the last 4 of the package shows on the receipt with the word ACTIVATED, I'm not sure how Incomm will deal with your case if they see your package and the last 4 on your receipt don't match.

You may have to deal with the cashier who checked you out and hopefully, the manager will be able to fix it for you if Incomm refuses to activate your card with the discrepancy. If all else fail, you may have to dispute with your CC although you know there's adverse consequences for doing so.

This incident sounds very familiar. This happened to me 2 years ago when I bought 2 GCs at CVS. I called InCom and they were able to issue me 2 new cards with my name on them. You will need to take pictures of your receipt and your ID, and InCom will issue you a case number. Since you don't have the info from the package, InCom will still be able to search its database when you've purchased your card. It might take a week to resolve. Do it immediately.

Unfortunately, I found out about it three days after I purchased the cards. When I was driving to the CVS, I called Incomm and they created a ticket. I had to send them copies of my id, the card, package and receipt. They told me not contact the store yet. I hope they would be able to solve this problem.

When I was in the CVS later, I saw that cashier and told her about what she did. She just said "sorry" and offered nothing. I hope I don't need to come back to store and deal with them.

Is there any new restriction on purchasing # of cards, or the amount ? i was trying to purchase 1500 ( 3 ov) , 3rd card didnt get activated after the payment , it error-ed before printing the bill , and automatically issued a refund for the failed card ( 506).

This has happened 2 consecutive times.

I had no problems this week buying 4 OVs on 2 different occasions. Maybe it's the store?

4 OV on single transaction ? i have tried in 2 different stores.

Earlier this week I tried purchasing two $500 cards and when they scanned my license the manger said "That puts you at your daily $1000 limit." Of course I then got shut down because I tried to use rebate cards from Sprint that give 5% cashback at CVS.

I had the exact same thing happen to me tonight in PA. This was on an attempted purchase of $2000. My credit card was billed for the full amount, and card will be automatically refunded.

You got refund for 1000 $ ? or just 500$ ? 1 or 2 card error ed out ?

After i made the purchase for 1500 $ , and got the refund for 500 $ for 1 of the failed card , the manager asked me to try for another card , but after swiping my licence , it didnt even proceed.

So now i think 1000$ per 24h is the new limit

The purchase has not posted yet, but the refund was for $1000, suggesting that you are right. I'm surprised that there are not more data points though... are we the only two people buying these at CVS still? I did not attempt to rebuy the other $1000 as the manager was suggesting, as I didn't want to trigger any fraud issues.

Also contributing to the decline in CVS would be the end of the USPO. I had one plaza that had a CVS, a PO and my CU. On a good day with no lines I could MS $2K in 10 minutes.

Between higher fees as well as other varied limitations that many ms'rs are facing, including lost interest, there is a decline in demand. Some areas have seen steep declines in GC purchases. Also a contributor is that as the economy improves so does the buying and reselling of merchandise on auction sites as well as other online platforms. Some are gaining reward points that way.

Ok , so now its better to stick with 1000 $ per day.I am just trying to finish up OBC quota .
