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.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Yeah that was a mistake. I thought he meant that he loaded $2500 straight, without waiting.

I should have been clearer.  Officially, the $1999.99 limit per ten or so mins is still in place for ATMs, but to the extent that people thought there was a $1999.99 a day limit due to the "**" on the bluebird page (when the limits were raised), that limit is not imposed on the ATM such that you could, after some time, load $2500 per day.

Quick nOOb. I don't know if this is the right thread to ask this question, but it seems like the best option. please direct me to a better thread if you so desire.

What' s up with MyVanilla's and One Vanilla's? I remember once reading that MyVanilla's are accepted in most banks as a Cash Advance. Does this still work?

Thanks in advance for your edification on this topic.

CVS won't take a CC for MVDs anymore unfortunately, so it's kinda moot, unless you can find somewhere that will take a CC.

OV still work for MO, but not at Walmart.

When saw the my Vanilla and One Vanilla, I also came across some re loadable cards, and wanted to know if they will work for MS. One is a prepaid Visa card for everyday use. The other is a Visa Prepaid Debit Card Net spend (change the way you pay . Lastly, a Master Card Money Wise Prepaid Master card.

If anyone can chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

a) some, by policy of the card issuer, can only be loaded with CASH.  Read the fine print on the back.
b) some have all sorts of fees.  monthly fee, inactivity fee, load fee, swipe fee.....
CAREFULLY read the fine print!  It's usually easy to find and understand.
