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.

Can confirm a CVS in NYC has sold my brother in law $5,000 via CC today. There were another 2 people in line too & it still works!

It's confirmed. It's always reset at 12:00 GMT, people just assumed it was a rolling 24 hours.

I've now done 50K in 24 hours :)

I'd like to know how you managed this. I thought cvs puts a limit based on your ID? 5k in a 24 hour period.

They start their 24 hours in the middle of where we start ours', so the clock resets... Also, friends can borrow credit cards and use their own fresh ID.

He he. Most definitely.  I cleared close to $100K yesterday on just a couple of cards but lots and lots of licenses and have been doing that for a while (although a much lower volume).  Of course, like everything, YmMv.
