BTW, Duane reade started selling reloads also (but the one I found said cash only)

Check out all your favorite cvs's. 2 recently reappeared at one of my local cvs. I hadn't seen one in so long, I'd almost lost hope.

I went looking today, and found!
CVS near the corner of Nostrand and Clarkson in Brooklyn, around a 25 minute walk from CH.

They had a sign up that they only accept debit and cash for the cards, don't worry about it

I figured I'll start with 2. As I went up to pay they were directing everyone to the automated machines for checkout. I scanned the card, it only said "no gift cards" can be used to pay for this purchase. When I typed in $500, it said see store manager. The worker nearby said the limit is $250 each, but I showed him on the card it says 25-500, so he called for the manager (I think it was the manager). Nice guy, did it no problem. I told him hang on a second, went to get 2 more. This time my Amex was declined, I had to go on my account and approve the transaction, which took a few minutes, but he waited patiently the whole time! Didn't seem like they had a lot of experience with people getting them before.

I only needed 2k to hit 30k on my starwood, but I would say there were about another 10-15 cards there. Good luck!

I have bought thousands of dollars worth of VRs there, you just have to go right after they get their delivery.

Yes that's the right one.

He means it's only been an issue with Amex (not the 4 other banks).
