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.

OV and CVS's VGCs don't work at WM anymore.

Even if so, there are other liquidation methods.

Based on the MO thread, I don't feel comfortable going that route. But if you have something that works for you, great :)

I tried a OV at WM BB last week just to see if anything had changed for the better. It didn't work. I used it to buy a MO.

The discussion about banks not liking you to deposit MOs.

Just open a checking account at a bank you don't care about and deposit there.

Yup. Done 2 VGCs in the past 2 weeks (I haven't seen OV at my regular CVS) and I'm hoping for more today. Been getting them at CVS, today I'm trying a Stop & Shop. Its for my Amex Everday so I'm looking for the double points, I'm not gonna bother fighting for gas points, if I get them I get them, if not, not.

There's no gas points for GCs besides for promos.
Nothing to consider fighting for.

I know but on the off chance I get them by accident or something. It turned out to be irrelevant because they didnt have any GCs above $200, I'll have to try another stop & shop sometime soon.

Any leads for where to buy in Manhattan, kinda don't want to go into Jersey right now.

ETA: In exchange, I'll tell you where you can buy MO.

ETA: Found it myself, ah the power of the pharmacy.
