Topic Wiki

Since Vanilla Reloads are no longer able to be purchased with a CC at CVS or any other location, this thread is for historical purposes only.

If I would write where VR is available, by tomorrow it will never be available again. So instead, we will nominate this thread as the place where everyone can complain that there's no VR, and everyone will be happy.

And it was good.


Regarding OneVanilla (OV) and other Vanilla branded GCs:

1. These are not Vanilla Reloads. You are in the wrong thread to learn about them.

2. As long as you are here, they no longer work at WM to load to BB at the cashier or ATM, nor will they work there for MOs. Your best bets are to use Evolve (there is a thread for that), Amazon Payments (there is a thread for that, too), or use them for regular spending in stores or online. At some grocery stores customer service desks, you can use OV to buy a MO.

some people also have jobs/lives
some people make more per month on this than per month salary. (Others are equal within one week, perhaps vs. one month of working. Especially when used for personal travel/hotels.)

That is one days worth. What did you do for the rest of the month?

$25,000 is one day? My cvs only let me buy $5,000 a day.

Just made a group trip to CVS with friends and family to each get 5K of VRs for me.  Sad day but the cashier's face was priceless...

Strange.  Even though the game is over, I still feel uncomfortable revealing my purchasing spot. I guess we're just creatures of habit...

There was a healthy stock of then.  Though at the rate people were buying them,  They will be sold out pretty quickly.

yes -- It will be a big schedule change for many and possibly a CVS loss of other income (from pistachios, Pringles, Arizona tea, OJ, etc..) in addition to the $3.95 10 - 20 X monthly.

CVS doesn't get the entire $3.95, VR/InComm gets some/most.

I assume most people do other pharmacy shopping once they go so they must take a hit from this
