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.

would it excite u if u come to a gas pump and it's a buck cheaper per gallon then last time?

No, what would excite me is if the damn ATM at WM worked.

Seriously!? There's probably wouldn't be any "continued usefulness" until 1st Quarter of 2015  ???

Oh? What's happening then?

National, for a while already. Once upon a time, this worked.

It would really excite you that much to save a buck?

It would represent more than a 25% reduction in the cost of miles through MS. Pretty significant.

I would be excited if the 4.95 $500 Vanilla Visas were available at Staples as well.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Savings at Staples would be far greater.

Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

can I buy 5k vr, and then buy one at a time since they don't scan my I.D. for $500?

Also, is it a known trigger for fr if I use an Amex for vr?
Are there limits I should use with an Amex card?
