Nope, every time in the multiple Krogers in Ohio, not a problem draining the Simon Mall Sutton VGCs for MO with no line or only one person standing in line with the CSR being quick to print the MO. A breeze to liquidate the Simons. Then buy some USB VGC and go to Wally to liquidate across the street.
Also, does Kroger take 2 swipes (of $200 MC BHN) or will it freeze after 1st swipe?

Does this apply to online purchases? To stack with the 5% off?

Every time I jump on this coupon and buy the $100 denominated USB VGCs, I never get the FPs and have to raise hell to get them credited. What's the trick? It clearly says no VL and the $100 cards aren't that...

DP Contribution:
I had 5x $200 MB BHN VGC BIN 4358 80
Went to Ralphs today (Kroger in my area) to buy 2x $500 USB VGC Variable.
Rung up as $1011.90 with fees.
Swiped 2 of the MB VGCs, then all the other ones denied. Had to finish the remaining $600 on my Ink.
Any ideas?

Yes, for the 1000th time, they won't work for your purposes. Stop buying BHN cards and screaming that the sky is falling.

He’s well aware of what you’re trying to accomplish. The frustration is with the fact that the trouble with BHN cards has been covered in this forum EXTENSIVELY, with many many DP’s for the past months and years that BHN cards no longer work for the things you are trying. Honestly I don’t know how much you’ve bothered to read back in this forum, but had you done just a slight bit of research you would realize all the things you’ve been posting about BHN cards are not new, and the DPs you’re providing are already well known, yet you continue to act surprised/upset that BHN cards aren’t “working.” No they don’t work for the purposes you’re describing, and had you done any bit of reading back in this subforum you would have known this before buying BHN cards. That’s why people here are getting frustrated.

Had something new happen at Kroger the other day...bought a $500 USB MCGC at the self-checkout, which I have done successfully many times before. Called the number to change my PIN and it immediately forwarded to an agent, who said the card is "inactive" due to potential fraud. They asked me to fill out a form at prepaidgiftbalance.com with a copy of my ID and the receipt, and that they'd mail me a new GC within "7-10 business days."
Does this mean something was wrong with the card from the get-go or was it flagged because I used self-checkout instead of a cashier? This particular Kroger did have a sign saying "Gift Card Purchases over $300, please see cashier" but I ignored it since I had successfully bought the cards from self-checkout before at other Kroger locations.
