About to open Chase United Biz and try this with my local CVS.

Do most of you liquidate CVS VVGC at grocery stores? Or do they work for MO at WM? (WM thread seems to indicate that they don’t work).

I usually liquidate thru FD/Serve

What's the FD? I was going to do amex serve but that 7$ monthly fee was a turn off, but not that big of a deal.

FD = Family Dollar. Dollar General is also a popular option for loading Serve. Walmart works as well.

Thanks, I was reading about the serves and stuff on the churning subreddit. They mentioned something from FD that has no monthly fee but I couldn't find it. Just load it with VGC or CC and bill pay or withdraw it. easily than keeping multiple vgc

So how have you not been shut down by AMEX?

Last I read Walmart is hard to get MO?

Sorry. I meant you can load Serve at Walmart. But I don't think it works with Vanilla/OneVanila cards.

So you are just loading Serve, again, how have you kept your card open? Mine got shut down and I only loaded it once with a VGC...

It got shut down after you load it? or after you try to use bill pay or withdraw? I was reading reddit amex server and seem like you have to be cautious and its sort of trail & error

I had 6 Bluebirds and 2 serves, didn't matter what combo I did all cards got shut down, all cards were linked to different checking and savings account, the only things common with all cards was loading VGC.

Don't know. Maybe I've been lucky. Maybe it's because I only have one Serve and no BB. Maybe it's because I've been depositing a lot more than I withdrawal, so the money's just accumulating. Most likely it's because I'm small potatoes and get no where near the limits. But mostly, I don't know.

Yeah, seem like that's the safe route. I was just going to do maybe 1-2k a month and withdraw or do bill pay. Not gonna try to max stuff out

Does CVS have $1000 limit per transaction now? Today I went to a CVS which I usually visited to purchase 3x$500 vanilla gc (green cover with a gift box). The first two $500 vgc were activated successfully. However, the last $500 showed error in cashier's computer. It also showed the error message for the last $500 vgc in the receipt. Talked with cashier for this issue. The POS screen then asked me to insert my card for refund (don't know whether it's done by cashier or automatically). Never met this kind of thing before. Glad that I didn't go away when cashier told me error message even the receipt was printed out.
