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.

I was in CVS in midtown today. Well stocked behind counter. I had problems first with my cc -if from nj probably good idea to call cc first. And after I worked that out had problems verifying with my license. Not sure what the problem was.

I usually shop in midtown for my VR, but have been at my mother's in Jersey a few times recently. I used to always fight the "NJ is OOT" stereotype but now when I find piles of VR at the local CVS, I'll gladly take the OOT title. :)

I recently went to my CVS and found 2 VRs on the shelf. I went to the counter to load them and the lady that usually helps me asked me if I need more? She turns around opens a draw behind her and there are a few hundred VRs. She said whenever I need just ask her and she will give me.

I tried loading my MVD and it gave an error so I called CS and they said that my identity cant be confirmed so either they can refund me by check which would take 3-4 weeks or make them into a gift card which wouldnt allow me to take a CA, my question is can I make a dispute to my card company and make a charge back

They are giving you a much easier option, just have them convert it to a GC and go to the bank and withdraw the whole balance. Easy does it.
