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 will try going through CVS first. Manager said they will thoroughly review the tapes since they don't wont an employee who steals working there.

If that doesn't work we will see what I need to do next.

I just reloaded a few cards in NJ, after midnight. Store doesn't carry VRs, but does reloads for some cards. Csr had a copy of the memo and said she doesn't think I could pay with credit but on her own said she would try and if I couldn't it would be declined. So she tried it and it went through. So I repeated the process. It was either that or making a trip in the morning to a store that might be out of VR and might be after registers are hardcoded. (A 'bird' in the hand ...)  :)

Wouldn't requiring to show photo id matching name on cc solve that ?
I guess they only ask us for ID.

"tomorrow " as in 4/2 or 4/1? Also. OV are not included in the memo, so there is no deadline for them. Unless they mean for other reloads that they do? OVs can also be bought at other stores, so even if this store decides not to stop accepting cc, not a major loss. So, no real need to stock up on OV. (unless you are afraid there will be a run on them!)

Well back in cvs again realizing that I just got scammed by the cashier two days in a row. She pocketed one of the cards each time. Just noticed now.

Make sure to check your bag before you leave!!

On the receipt there's the last few numbers of the card.

My friend had the cashier mix up empty & scanned/full vanillas. He lost $500 tried fighting it with amex not sure what ended up. But I always tell the people I help to keep their eyes on the cashiers hands at all times. Like ur watching a magicians hand

However, if the lady cashier took it/hid it, then it will not be found to locate the numbers...

True.

Do we know if anything was found on the tapes?

When I tried to buy VRs this morning from my local CVS I was told that as of today they are only accepting cash.  Is this the new official CVS policy?

where else can u still buy them with cc besides from cvs? And does any other place sell vr & accept cc?
