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.

Check the balances on the card. OV definitely works on AP. For Bluebird at Walmart you may need to swipe the OV multiple times to get it to work, IIRC. You can also unload at Family Dollar.

Or you can go the Money Order route, but that's not free.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Search for the money order thread.
Basically you need to find a store that sells $500 money orders. (Not Walmart for OV) Shoprite doesn't sell AFAIK but look for other grocery chains and try to buy a money order for $500 minus the fee.

I just went to the Walmart in Valley stream this past Saturday night to buy money orders from my staple gift cards. I was told by customer service that the Valley Stream Walmart does NOT allow any money orders to be bought with the gift cards.

Do you mean a Staples gift card? Or a Visa or MasterCard gift card that you bought from Staples? The latter works; they just are picky and refuse to do it.

It was a Visa Gift Card that I bought from Staples. I was told by customer service that they do not do it, because they have had "problems" with gift cards in the past.

You have been successful recently?

I saw vanilla reloads at the CVS on Ditmas and East 5th.
