The Offer
Direct Link (ad page 1)
- Purchase $125 in select gift cards and receive a $25 Visa prepaid card via online rebate. Limit two per household.
The following gift cards are showing in the ad: Amazon, Macys, Lowes, Toy R Us, Gap, OldNavy, Outback, Bass Pro, and one other (Darden?). It may be that this offer will work on other gift cards as well, but these are the ones we know now.
Go to the online rebate form and fill out the your email address and the reward code found on the store receipt.
Update: This offer is apparently only available in some Safeway locations, not all. Check your local circular to verify.
The Fine Print
- Offer valid 9/16/15 – 9/29/15
- Rebate must be submitted by 10/13/15
- Limit 2 per household
- Limit one coupon per transaction; this is important – you need to buy $125 in two separate transactions, not $250 in one transaction
- We have not yet found this deal to be available at the other stores in the Safeway chain (Vons, Albertsons), if you see the offer at those stores please let us know
Our Verdict
At first glance, I wasn’t so excited about the offer because of the hassle of the rebate. Then I noticed that it’s an online rebate which makes things easier and makes the deal much better (yeah, it’s probably just a psychological block, but still).
This amounts to basically like a 20% discount on the purchase of the gift cards. At it’s at a supermarket which often gets bonused credit card rewards. If you have multiple addresses, it may be within the terms of the deal to do two per address.
iTunes Gift Card Deal
There’s also an entirely separate deal being offered at Safeway to get 20% off iTunes gift cards. Valid 9/16- 9/22. Needs digital coupon.

It would be awesome if these two offers can stack, but for now we are not assuming that the $25 Visa prepaid card offer will work with the purchase of iTunes gift cards since that is not showing clearly in the ad. It is possible though…
