In the past week I've been asked a few times for the debit card I'll be using at King Soopers. One of the friendly cashiers said that "they are cracking down on gift cards" when I showed her a debit card with my name on it. Maybe an email or two, but nothing serious, as the other 20 or so times I haven't been asked.

I'm still working on MSR so leery of using GCM or the other one (can't think of it right now). I'm going to try another location tonight.

Do the $1-500 VGCs bought at Kroger's work for Wally/Kroger MO?

Where you buy the GC doesn’t matter it’s which company issues it. All the Kroger and Safeway near me sell VGC issues from MetaBank which have worked at my Kroger/WM.

Ah.. mine sells ones by US Bank. I'm guessing they don't work?

Yes, works just fine and autodrains, but the pin is written inside the package, and you need to memorize or change it.
