I may be opening your eyes and you will abuse it and it will close it for all of us, but...

Let us see whether good things go unpunished

1. Approach a CVS manager that orders gift card section
2. Show him MVD and point in the back that they are to carry the reload (complimentary goods)
3. They can and will order for you...

That is how I am getting mine

This is assuming you find a CVS that sells MVD and not VR...
most of the ones i found either sell both or neither. Often I find VR and not MVD

Does not matter. They have it in catalog and can order.

When (back in the days) I was managing one- and a customer would come and ask- I would order and if this is sold - no problem to order more

Sounds like it might normally work, but the general impression I get is that these stores have for whatever reason decided not to order VR or even MVD cards.
Who knows, maybe they weren't selling so they stopped. Let's not forget this only came to light in the last 6-12 mos, while VR have been around for a few years.
Can't hurt to ask.

definitely is getting tougher to find but i was able to buy this morning with a CC, the only difference is I had to do it at the register instead of the self serve checkout.

davka don't want that. Was wondering somethign along the lines of say central jersey, upstate NY, Long Island, Connecticut etc.
Lots o CVS's in those areas. Just wondering?
I have a few in an area north of the city that have let me buy 3.5K in one shot. Didn't buy more cuz i didn't want to risk FR or the like, and only had 4 cards i needed to use @the time:-)

AWAYD · « **Reply #90 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:23:14 PM »

Agreed. I am not too sure that doing like Dan - 10K in one shot is wise in tri-state area with more and more merchants not carrying VR.

I personally try to do either 1k on me and 1k on wifey or 2k on 1 card, not more than this a day

SearchGuy · « **Reply #91 on:** March 06, 2013, 03:21:18 PM »

So far I went into a lot of branches in the NJ area (even in the greater Boro Park) and they DID have MVD but not VR... and they DID accept CC, one PB branch didn't accept, one did, I used self checkout (they have to scan rep. card 3 times during the transaction), don't know if it would work otherwise.

A related note- that might be helpful to some:

Notur, lets say CVS allow it, does ink have any issue with it? would it target a phone call?

I don't think i ever got a call on the ink cards. I got for BA multiple times but just wanted confirmation. For amex i got a call once for each new card.

It looks like you can't cash those out at a bank. If so, all you're doing is moving spending- not adding to it.

staples were unable to process more than 3x 200 cards on ink. register asked for a different form of payment.

tried several times. called ink. they didnt see a problem on their end, said they were willing to speak with staples and get info of what the transaction codes are so they can try to see why an issue.

Staples tried again. were able to process only with another cc. any idea why? any resolution?
