Again, I'm going to disagree on the reading comprehension. You've asked 3 different questions about things I've clearly stated, as if you don't understand. Whether you own it or not, it's right here in black and white.

Such a conspiracy you've conjured up. I actually have no idea why she read me the email. Perhaps she was guilty that she couldn't help me and wanted to shift blame to corporate policy? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when, as I did 2 weeks ago with her, loaded 3x99 to a discover card, then the same to a separate discover card. I'm not sure I'm "blacklisted" ... policies come and go and are forgotten. Still waiting to see how broadly this memo was sent out. Again, no DP's from you?

I'll carry one too. Can I ask? Why do you have 10, 20, 30 and 40 country banners up? Seems kind of odd. Silly? You really need only one.

I'll give you another hint, since comprehension isn't in play here. I called you girly girl in a previous post. I was tempted to call you Roberta here in this one, but these are kiddie game. Have you ever seen the play or later movie "Grease"? Who was the one with the hotrod? I still maintain a nickname from my teenage years as I had many nifty cars during those years.

You are growing old to me by the minute, but I believe I may have something else to correct for you. Rookie.

Maybe you should stick to your Sears credit card threads and leave this thread to people who can contribute meaningfully to the conversation. You just mooch from everyone here and never provide any useful data points. Ignoring you from here on out.

Oh, I see, you call everyone that one-ups you "her". Figures. A weak pattern. Very telling.

"Ignoring you from now on". That sounds like a good plan for you. I don't recall seeing you post in the past. Maybe I just skipped past your "useful data points". Or do you just complain when other post items of note? I believe so. We'll see.

If they did, I wouldn't be MS'ing 40k/month.

And I'm MS'ing 65k a month. Or I was until 1/1. My 4 Ink Cash cards are way behind. Travel does that to you. Hard to MS while on the road; not sure I will max them out this year. I'm reading you as a big talker with no real substance. That's ok. Perhaps someone here buys it. You seem like a complete 1xer to me.

For someone who called me out on reading comprehension, it's pretty clear that you can't read very well (or write well either for that matter). Name ends with an O not an A. Not sure why you would assume I'm a female. Broadway Fan is a woman. She's made that very clear in many of her previous posts. And she doesn't have many friends in these parts. But that's her own doing. It's cute that you and her are friends though. I've provided plenty of data points, but I'll let you search for them yourself.

Yeah, all you need is for a new manager type to pay attention in WM's Money Laundering / Fraud class and suddenly they are all experts. I mentioned one in some other comment that turned a friendly WM into one to avoid. But it looks like I'll pay this old haunt a visit soon. Googling, I remember a couple of others in range. Even more if I decide to go longer distances.

Most clerks don't care, or like to be helpful.

Makes sense. You aren't good at math, which is why you're splitting payment with $200 BHN cards. I remember those days. If you're MS'ing 65k/month you must be spending a lot more time at WM than me. That's OK though. You'll learn a better strategy one day. How many ink cash cards do you have? Seems like the well would have run dry after a month of your $99 swipes, no?

Rookie! Nice to hear from you again (ok, not really).

So you ARE starting to get it. I'm a male but you keep saying "her". Took you long enough. Very good.

Yeah, I keep trying to drop 200 cards but they keep calling to me. I don't mind paying a fee for 500's, but they certainly have to have higher multipliers. I have a 5x machine with SS cards going so even 7.95 makes sense. A bit limited, tho.

So far, I'm a fan of "Broadway Fan" if it's the user who has also been replying to you. I'm ok with cute. You just need to pull the stick out and people might like you, too.

I see one more, then I have to go argue politics for awhile. More fun there than here ... better opponents :)

Rookie!

I'm spending little time at WM, which is the problem. And I have to go to WM now since FD dried up. Until I find the Next Big Thing.

I don't MS 65k a month. Proving that people can post any made up numbers they want and can't be proven wrong. But now I've been honest. Hint: I don't believe at all the you do 40k/mo. Not a chance. But keep talking big. You can't prove me wrong, either!

4 Inks counting P2.

Again, I miss FD. I had a cluster of them not too long of a drive away that allowed quick work of tons of cards. 200's and 500's, just so you know.

Number of swipes on each target card is always concerning to me. Current mission is to seek out other WMs while my previous fav chills for awhile.

jfc guys....the signal to noise ratio in this thread is unbelievable. Someone has gotten a memo. This is not the first memo ever written (I'm sure very few of you even followed msp3's link to the memo from 6 years ago). Did they ban a BIN? No. Are memories short? Hopefully. Is turnover high? Lucky you. Are you working under the assumption that any of these things we do can and will die eventually? You should be.

Are we aware of how the MULTI QUOTE button works?....

Yeah, all I said was someone got a memo, questioning how widespread it was distributed. I have yet to test another area store, but I will.

Sorry. *I* didn't make it a big deal. I simply reported my experience and waited for other datapoints. A couple came in, in the right spirit. And certainly someone's messing with some bins ... as it isn't as smooth sailing as it was even late last year, to a point. I'll try to get back to normal business, but no promises.

Recap:

OP has been loading cards for awhile with a friendly cashier, and has made no effort to hide the fact that she is using gebits. Cashier was oblivious or didn't care.

Cashier finally was made aware (via an email from WM corporate) that this is not allowed).

Cashier will no longer allow OP to load cards with gebits.

OP decides to freak us all out based upon her careless behavior.

This is a non-issue, as most of us tread lightly and don't make this hobby obvious.

I've personally never mentioned or intentionally shown that I was using gebits. Yet, because the cashiers aren't stupid, they've figured it out. Usually happens after you load with 3 swipes for the 15th time that week.

Visiting the Money Center or bothering employees who cares too much was a bad idea then, and is still a bad idea now.

I find the memo funny because, at least in my experience, MS at the money center takes the least amount of time... :confused:

roberto767 Mar 24, 2026 6:02 pm

Can confirm that there's no issue with loading or buying MO. BAU. Loaded close to 3k today across 5 WM stores. Discover, Serve, One and MO purchases all work just fine.
