They had to scan the bottom like they do to a new card.

This is where I'm confused. The bottom has the magstrip and pin, but the barcode is on the top part. The documentation refers to swiping the card but I don't know how you'd prompt a CVS clerk to swipe something like this. Seems more likely they'd rescan the top barcode.

I have never bought or loaded these at CVS. It's not worth the high risk of being shut down just to be able to spend at CVS. Anything you are buying with pp and not with a reg visa gift card would prob add to the shut down risk.

You have another suggestion for paying your rent with a CC for free?

I don't have a card on me, so I don't know what to tell you but trust me. Just have them scan the same barcode they scanned the first time.

I've reloaded at CVS before.

I guess the cs didn't know how to do it.
Will have to try again.

I had the same thought. I'm guessing save the entire piece of cardboard (not just the part shaped like a card).

Have you guys been attempting this with the white or the light blue? I just bought the attached light blue, which says reusable on it, from a DR, and will attempt to reload at CVS and will report back.

For my other one that had 203, I ended up having to open a ticket by calling the number on the back of the card. But they took care of it the next day.

Aside from saving the environment, is there any benefit to actually reloading the card?

REload successful at CVS. Rep scans the bar code like a new purchase so save the whole thing not just card portion.

I'm looking at my cards now and it seems that there are two versions. One has a removable bottom and a bar code on the top portion (which must be the one you have) and one has a one piece card that looks to be an old non-re-loadable version that has no bar code just a blank white space...
