Key Terms

Loading the Offer
This offer comes in the form of a digital coupon that needs to be loaded to your account. Once you load the offer, the $10 discount should come off automatically when you purchase a single $150+ on Visa or Mastercard gift cards.
Maximizing
The best option for maximizing is to use a card that earns a category bonus at grocery stores. $500 variable load cards have a $5.95 fee, so you will earn a $4.05 profit per card plus credit card rewards. Depending on your liquidation bandwidth this could be a good deal if you have access to multiple accounts. But make sure you test whether variable load cards will trigger the offer.

Conclusion
The coupon is limited to one-time use only per account. Either way it is a great deal and a great way to get negative cost spend. It may be worth a visit if you have any of these supermarkets nearby. make sure that the discount is applied when checking out, because there’s a few reports already that there’s some issues.

Manager at the customer service counter was able to manually override it.
Did anyone else do $500 on the variable? It didn’t work for me at $150 or $500.
Our first two were also declined at the register, but the store manager manually adjusted both (without it being marked as used in our accounts). The following days, we purchased four and all went through without incident.
DP from Arizona – coupon will NOT load for variables. Tried more than once at multiple stores. Although we were ultimately successful in getting the discount, I suspect it’s hard coded to buy a $100 and a $50, making it a negative deal. Good luck out there!
Any reports of this not working on variable loads? Just purchased $500 on the floral variable visa that worked in the past on these offers and the coupon didn’t load.
Same here in VA. Doesn’t work this time. Worked in the past
Tried once again today and…success! $10 credit on a $500 VGC. Seems to have been corrected.
I tried this morning and still no go. Anaheim, CA
If anyone else had this issue, you can call Customer Support at 1-877-258-2799 (about a 10 min hold) and they will post a $10 make good credit on your account good for your next purchase.
With AMEX increasing scrutiny on Membership Rewards cards usage, do you feel comfortable using an AMEX Everyday Preferred at Safeway to purchase a $500 gift card in conjunction with this deal?
Appreciate the heads up!
