I tried purchasing vr at cvs using a business card and was told that only personal cc is permitted. Has anyone had that experience? Is she correct?
Yuneeq was also told that this week.

I was told the same thing today.
But for all we know, we may frequent the same CVS. Hopefully.

Dan do you have any input? If it's not permitted legally I really don't want to do it even if I could get it by them. I know I have used ink card and Amex gold bus in the past many times but who knows what new rule someone somewhere may have dreamt up.

I purchased VR at CVS today with a business card.

Not at all.  The My vanilla can be cashed out.  (I think this is the MVD)
You can use One vanilla at the grocery.

Baloney! I've used more than 1 card when I've had access to a load of VR.  No problem!

Really? I could use it my grocery? lol.... This isnt about using the card for purchases, it's about churning and bluebird....
Does anyone have advice on how to get these cards onto bluebird?

I bought 2 OneVanilla Cards and 2 MyVanilla cards. Am I screwed here? Any advice?

Just got off the phone with Vanilla. It turns out that you are able to request a full refund for the remaining balance in form of a check with a OneVanilla card (you need to have your receipt). Processing time takes 3-4 weeks  :(

However with a myvanilla, you can either cash out at an ATM for $1.95 plus the ATM fee or buy a money order and pay the MyVanilla 50 cent transaction fee. Another option is to register your MyVanilla cards and receive a permanent card. At that point you can ask for a cash advance from your bank and pay just the 50 cent fee, depending on your bank.
