Got a new VGC today and blocked again upon first use of $499. Had to spent half hour waiting the call to unblock it. Twice in a row.

How long did you wait to use it after buying?

I got a MO yesterday at WM for 1k 2X500 VGC

It might help to know where did you purchase this VGC and what type? Vanni, other etc? Could this be a store/location specific? if this continues it will be hard for you to do MS. PITB

I still have a mix around me, but as I posted ^, I was able to do four in a row on one of the new SCOs the Sat before last, but then last week @ the same SCO cube, I got denied by the machine during the second attempt.

When you posted you bought " 2 vgc at the SC", was that one transaction or two transactions?

AH! You can do whatever you want in one transaction.

I WAS doing multiple transactions because I was making many multiple 'Partial Payments' per transaction. So, things went from doing four separate transactions the Sat before last, to the machine denying me on the second transaction last week.

Ahh, I see. I usually get 2 cards per transaction and split payment between 2 amex gold cards. For whatever reason, the Super Walmart coded as Walmart neighborhood; therefore, I get 4x on the amex gold cards.

I got Vanilla VGC from Jewel, and tried to buy MO from Jewel after 24 hours.

Does this mean I can do as many vgc as I want in one transaction? On both old and new sco?

I suppose it depends on how eagle-eyed the cashiers are. Not to mention, you're on camera.

Typically very few to seldom people will purchase something for 1K or above through SCM, I am thinking it may ring some bell somewhere within walmart. I purchased 2 500 VGC but at different SCM and came out and went back. I was not sure if my newly obtained card will throw fits if I did 1K in one transaction and I dodnt want to call CSR to cancel /abort the transaction. Sooner or later they are going to block GC purchases at SCM.

If not for this forum it would not have occured to me to try buying GC using SCM. Because we all tried years ago and it wasnt allowed so you take it permanent NO.
