I doubt it, but Regions is known to close accounts with many MO deposits.

4x Fuel Points on Happy/Choice
10% off next purchase. https://kroger.softcoin.com/programs...4&origin=share
I'll probably skip the Happy cards - liquidation costs make it not worth while..

Shutdown at multiple previously reliable KingSoopers in CO over the past few days. Even when I had gccom cards with name on them.

I was successful today getting 2 MOs at a Kroger. It's a hit or miss game... as we all know.

After reading some other DPs, I went to Kroger's for MO today at middle tn, used 3 vgc for 1 mo for 88 cents, super friendly. No issues.

So you all are pretty much using Kroger to liquidate?
Where red are you buying the GC? I read Staples and SImon.
Anywhere else? I’m guessing Staples is best with the 5x?
Im in my Kroger several times a week.

I see so many people (in various MO threads) talking about trying to stay under the radar, but also talking about buying MOs for $999.12. How are those not opposites of each other? Buy a 1k MO and pay the .88 with cash. That’s a nice round, relatively normal number for them to put into the system, and raises far less suspicion than a very strange number that happens to come out to exactly 1k at the end. A MO for 1k makes sense in the real world. A MO for $992.12 only makes sense in MS land. Am I missing something here?

However, both of my local Krogers have recently started inspecting my cards if I ask for multiple swipes, but never ask when I am doing a single swipe.

No, you are not missing anything. I routinely buy MO's at Kroger in round-dollar amounts, paying the fee in cash.

FWIW, I've always had good luck with telling the cashier up front that my debit card has a limit of $500 per swipe. Completely true, and they never flinch. Apparently it's not an uncommon thing for some debit cards.
