Newbies are going to do stupid stuff like buy the VCG and then try to liquidate at the same cashier and get pissed when this is deemed suspicious. Or cashiers will noticed the obvious VCG use and then start checking all debit cards. This whole idea just seems dumb when there are plenty of other locations to get slightly cheaper VCGs that work just fine. Newly purchased cards may not really be ready for use for an hour or so.

All the cards are fixed denomination cards, not variable load cards. The usefulness of Target is the fact that many Target stores code as grocery stores and some credit cards earn category bonused rewards for grocery spend. See the Visa Supplier Locator to see if your local Target store qualifies. The main redeeming factor here would be if it were possible to purchase the Visa cards with a Target gift card, making an easy way of liquidating Target gift cards. In my experience from a while ago , the Target system is hardcoded not to allow this. I even tried purchasing a Visa gift card along with some detergent, and the system allowed the Target gift card for the detergent, but left the cost of the Visa gift card to be paid with a regular credit card. I previously wrote that I experimented buying the Visa card with a Target gift card. While the system initially accepted the order, it got cancelled a few minutes later, see Visa Gift Cards at Target. Alternatively, they figure some people will pay cash or use a debit card which has very minor fees. And it would explain the occasional fee-free Visa or Amex gift card sales which arise occasionally.

I had noticed these a while ago in northern IL but not in my neck of the woods in southern WI. I periodically checked stores around me but your post intrigued me enough to stop and check once again. They were in stock finally. Interestingly, the ones at my local Target have very similar packaging but are not Bancorp-issued. They actually say they are issued by Target Bank. If this version loads to Serve it will be another easy diversification option. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if these were originally issued by Target Bank and thus the two different packaging versions but are now all processed via Bancorp. Am I wrong about that? Your statement is correct in that it causes issues at Walmart.
