Bluebird / Vanilla Reload Card Daily Reloading Clock Resets at 9PM PST / 12AM EST
Do you ever have too many Vanilla Reload Cards to load and don’t like waiting until the following day. No problem, just load again after 9PM PST or 12AM EST (your equivalent time zone will work too).
I tried at 7:15PM PST, but it didn’t work.
$99 Amazon Prime starting March 20, $30 Office Depot Plink Cap, and a Small VRC Change
According to the Wall Street Journal (article), Amazon will raise the price of their Prime Membership from $79 to $99 starting March 20. If your subscription renews after that date, you will be charged the new subscription price. Luckily, Dan’s Deal has all the details here. Dan shows you how you can “gift yourself” a year of Amazon Prime. You can gift yourself another year of Amazon Prime here.
If you are new to Amazon Prime, you can try a 30 day free trial here.
I almost forgot to mention, you can take advantage of this trick to give Amazon Prime to family members for free here.
I don’t want to say that I warned you, but I warned you… Here is what the Office Depot Plink offer looked like on Day 1:

BREAKING NEWS! *GASP* Vanilla Reload now has a Captcha Text Box
Ok everyone, calm down. i may have over-reacted just a bit. I recently loaded 2 VRCs to my Bluebird account and noticed a new captcha text box during the reload process. No big deal, just enter the captcha and your reload will go through right away. Also, on the confirmation screen, you will see more details about your VRC reload, such as the VRC PIN from the back of the card.
That is all the changes I noticed. If you want to see the full (updated) reload process, please click here. If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great weekend!
No Vanilla Reload Cards? No Problem! One Vanilla Gift Cards to the Rescue
I don’t know about you, but my local CVS store(s) are getting a bit low on Valentine’s Day chocolate Vanilla Reload Cards. Instead of walking out empty handed, take a look at the One Vanilla Gift Cards.
To read the entire post, please click here.
Here is my score from today (2/11/2014). 4 One Vanilla Cards, 2 Bluebird Cards (mine plus my dad’s) successfully loaded at Walmart. 4 swipes + 4 made up PINs = $2,000 on Bluebird. The names and face gift card numbers and receipt info have been whited out to protect the innocent (possibly underage) One Vanilla cards.
Also, there will be scheduled maintenance on my blog (and probably several other WordPress blogs hosted on BlueHost) tomorrow night.
