I tried it once, and it failed two months ago, but I will give it another try soon.

Just about to get my Discover Cashback Debit Card. Quick question that I didn't find an answer to when reading this thread - maybe someone can help before I go experimenting at WMT.

I'd like to dump six $200 cards per store, in two transactions. First transaction ideally would be at normal cashier, and do a 3x $200 load to Discover. Then I'd go over to the money center and do a 3 x $200 MO.

Problem with this is I understand some 'normal' cashiers won't do this/don't know how/just refer you to the MC.

Once I'm at the MC, will I hit a velocity limit imposed by BHN if I try to liquidate six $200 cards across two transactions (a $600 discover load) and a separate $600 MO? Asking because I've found all my grocery stores to have a two card BHN limit for the various $200s....

Thanks!

It’s YMMV wrt cashier

Any advantage in loading a $500 GC at a cashier instead of MC?

none, and I've found this attracts more attention.

Yeah I’ve literally had a cashier call over three different people for a single gift card because she didn’t think I could purchase one with a credit card and wouldn’t let me try without calling a crowd over

Some CSR's work at both the cash registers as well as the money center. If I see a familiar competent face from the MC that happens to be currently working at a register I'll choose to do my load with them, the fewer times I show my face at the MC the better.

Any issues loading Staples Visa GC at Walmart on Capital one checking?

I had no idea you could load capital one at wal mart

oops sorry clearly I meant Discover One.

so I took my Metabank BHN Visa Gc $300 to my local WMNM, I had activated and registered the card and set a new pin about 8 hours earlier. I got the “debit not allowed” message. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Debit card loads were always location dependent -- worked in some states or regions, but not others. Folks sharing their experiences could make them useful DP's by specifying the region.

There is one thing I always do before loading anything at a cashier...
I ask them if they are able to load a debit card such as Bluebird or One. If they say no, I move on.
If they say they are not certain, I tell them it's a 70 action code. Blank stare......move on.

Otherwise, we proceed to load, almost always without issue. I only do $200 single swipe loads, but on occasion load more than one debit card (depending on how busy the cashier's line is.)

This is in fly-over country.

Anyone get a call from Discover at 800-347-0350? If so, care to share what info they were looking for.

they called me regarding one of my responses on those routine surveys

Why... if the familiar face is from the MC what's the difference?
