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.

Just found this weird type of vr there was no card just a vr card with a bar code in the back to scan, when I went to pay he said I need to swipe a vanilla card in order to load, Anyone know what this is all about.
You load directly to the BB.  No cc! Hard wired into the machine.

The guy didn't really know whAt he was doing he told me he thinks I need cash, but from my experiences that doesn't mean anything to me until they try scanning it through the computer. It was actually at a dollar general.
DG in my area is cash only. Still worth a try and see what happens. There are many debit cards you can load these to if you find a store that works with a CC.

Yes but DG is not the only store that has these.

Disclaimer: I don't know of a store that it works for so no PM's.

This may be a stupid question but why should stores care if you pay with cc or cash? They get paid either way.

Costs them money to process cc transactions.

Those same stores will let you buy $1 worth of other items on cc which would give them less of of profit margin

They also are worried about fraud and money laundering with these type of cards.
