When is the Best Time to Buy Vanilla Reload Cards?

The obvious answer is ALWAYS!  But that is not the point of this post.  If you have ever bought more than 1 Vanilla Reload Card (VRC) in your life, you may have faced a terrifying situation… the VRCs are out of stock.  You may have said one of the following:
