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 my store in Baltimore today where I always buy, and the dumb cashier told me that they got an email today that it is only cash. I asked her if it might be effective tomorrow and she said, no, it is today. So I found another store and they did it with no problems. The cashier even got a new package for me from behind the counter

But it's cash or debt only.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?

If I had debt I would give it to them for VRs

After 4 misses, finally found at the CVS in Nutley NJ. Didn't clear the stock as I'm personally not a fan of manufacturing spend, but got a nice few k :)

Why are you doing it with VR and Bluebird instead of your personal checking account?

To get miles, duh. I personally don't feel comfortable cycling through 100k without actually spending that much. But for legitimate bills, I'm game. I actually was having a convo with the CVS manager today about VR - he was telling me how he uses them lol.

That's MS.  I know you like to think you're better than everyone else and maybe you are or maybe you're not.  But you do employ MS.

1. I said it's my personal preference, not what I think is right or wrong.
2. You can call it what you want, but I see a difference between shifting actual spend to BB through VR and using it just to generate points, but paying no actual expenses. Again, not saying the latter is bad, but my personal preference is to stay away from it. Mostly because I'm afraid of AA/FR, but also because I don't feel comfortable asking for 5k at a time of cards multiple times a month, possibly to the same cashiers. Again, personal preference

Just went back to my CVS to see if they had anymore and they had a sealed pack of 10 behind the counter. Bought it.
Spoke to the manager and she said that tomorrow it will be cash only. She said that they will probably have a full shelf of them
from now on lol.

This was in union county in nj

Cross posting because of time sensitivity.

5k daily limit has reset.
You can still get another 5k. Just did :)

When did you buy your previous 5k?
