I love credit cards so much! v7.0 - 2025 (see first page for add'l details)

This morning I went out to buy some fee free gift cards.

My local Staples had a total of 7, 3 of which were torn open.

I took the 4 intact ones to the cashier and asked if they had any more in the little closet. Cashier goes to ask the manager who came out and said they were out. She also volunteered that there is a change in Maryland with regard to the Visa cards and they should be getting more in soon. She didn't know what was changing.

Meanwhile I had noticed that all Visas seemed to be missing from the carousel. There were plenty of Master Cards.

I asked, 'Is it just Maryland or is this change coming to Virginia also?' She didn't know anything about Virginia, 10 minutes away.

She also had the cashier toss the opened cards in the trash.

Later this week, I'll be near another Staples so I'll check there as I want a few more.

We drove up to the Finger Lakes today. Took my CIC along just in case. Stopped for lunch at a Panera near Harrisburg, there was a Staples in the same strip mall. Had plenty of them, but the store has a policy of only selling $1000 of gift cards at a time, so I got 5. Later we were looking for gas, and DH noticed there was a Sheetz and Staples near each other in Williamsport PA so I got another 1000.
