PPMC from CVS is hard coded for cash only.

This is absolutely false (or at best, region dependent)

I literally just bought $1000 of PPMC with my CC this morning at CVS (Florida).

Only have 1 data point but has 7/11 stopped allowing buying Paypal or any VGC's with credit cards? The clerk let me swipe my card but the system clearly rejected it and he said all 7/11's have become cash only. Anyone else have success?
vgc is fine. ppmc didnt go

If my friend owes me money, and he buys these, sends me the money through Paypal, and then I withdraw it to my bank, does that still trigger shutdown type behavior or is that more legit?
Nothing for you to worry, I had the same exact experience with a friend who owed me money and sent it to me through paypal, as long as your receiving money you did nothing wrong, paypal called me about money being received and I said what I get I can't control, they said we will get in contact to the other party and if anything he will get shut down,which he did several times.

DP- Duane Reade is cash only for PPMCC. Just tried about 30 minutes ago and the cashier showed me the error message on the system saying that it's cash only now. Only CVS remains now?

I just went to 4 different CVS locations, and they didn't have any in stock at all. A girl at the register told me they don't carry them anymore. Anyone else run into this?
