I’ve previously written two articles about CVS and Manufactured Spending with Vanilla Reloads.
I Spent $5,039.50 on 10 Vanilla Reloads From CVS Pharmacy in One Transaction
My Local CVS Hides Vanilla Reloads in a File Cabinet
My Local CVS Instituted Anti Money Laundering Guidelines
I’m not a huge manufactured spender like Amol or @PatMikeL, but I do visit CVS quite a bit. I popped by my local CVS today in Los Angeles and noticed a new note by the cashier labeled “Money Laundering Huddle Guidelines”.
The entire note reads as follows:
Money Laundering Huddle Guidelines
1. Money Order Daily Limits – $2,500
2. Money Transfer Daily Limits – $2,000
3. Pre-Paid Products Limit – $5,000 – no more than 10 cards per day
4. Scams at no time must any employee process any transaction through the phone for anyone claiming to be a CVS employee or field management.
I went ahead and bought the few remaining Vanilla Reloads left and asked the cashier about the Money Laundering policy. The cashier said that the company is aware of the situation. I don’t know what she meant by that, but it sounds scary.
Is buying prepaid cards with mileage earning credit cards coming to an end at CVS soon?
The collection of certain personal information has major risks, IMO… here’s my recent post on the related topic: http://first2board.com/travelblawg/personal-info-to-retailers/
