Buying Vanilla Reload and/or Visa Vanilla Reload with a CC in the NY area

[smaxber]

That's for loading from a CC or debit online. For loading from VRs, it has the same limits as BB.

then whats the advantage? u still need VR if you want to load 5k worth...

So loading at CVS from cc or debit is with same limit as VR?

Yes.

You can load another 1k/mo online.

[smaxber]

Yes. You can load another 1k/mo online.

so 6k limit overall?

I think 7k: 5k VR, 1k CC, 1k debit. But debit doesn't help unless you have SunTrust or something like that, because doing from GC is likely to get you shut down just like BB.

You don't need vr
The monthly limits are:
Online 1K cc &1k debit (200 /day)
"Cash" (7-11 CVS* vr and greendot)
5k  /month 1/k day 500/ at a time


*CVS let's you use credit and debit cards

Serve sees a cash load at CVS and your credit card sees a purchase at CVS

There was talk either upthread or on the other bb thread that it's not 24 hrs. There is a specific time it resets. Somewhere between 8-11 pm.

correct, it's not a rolling 24hrs.

same thing happened to me yesterday, 58th and 9th ave ?

no, columbus circle.  but I stopped by after work (I do $500 on way into office and $500 on way back) and checked and they were all gone.  They had a huge stack of one vanillas though.

[Barryg]

can I buy 5k vr, and then buy one at a time since they don't scan my I.D. for $500?

You can buy 5k vr and then buy two at a time since they don't scan your I.D. for $999.99. (You do lose a penny in ms though)

Just to get clarity here if I walk into a CVs with a serve card what is the daily/monthly limit I can add via credit card that will register as a purchase? 1/k a day?

Yes. 2 swipes of 500 each per day. Total 5k/mo.

why dont you just try?  that's how most people do it, it's not that hard to figure out.  worst the CSRs can tell you is "Sorry, no, we don't do that".

Is that even the SKU for what we buy? It says "swipe reload able cards (currently in the customers possession)"

C'mon guys.  You knew it was coming sooner or later.  Why the surprise and/or disappointment?

ye it was bound to happen eventually, can still be disappointed about it

Not surprised just sad

Even with the inevitable, it is still a big hit. Changes everything in a big way.
