Safeway, Meijer: $10 Off Visa Gift Card, $15 Off Mastercard Gift Card

Safeway and Meijer are running an offer on gift cards. The offers are unrelated, but we’re putting them together due to similarity.

Safeway Offer

Direct Link

This offer is showing in the Safeway Just4U.

  • $10 instant savings on $150+ Metabank Visa Gift card. Must add to your Just4U account in the app. Limit one per Club Card account.

You can buy a $500 Visa gift card for $495.95 and Visa gift cards can be used to load prepaid cards at Walmart, Family Dollar, Rite Aid and Dollar General.

Meijer Offer

This offer is showing in the Meijer MPerks app.

  • $15 instant savings on the purchase of two Mastercard gift cards with a minimum of $25 on each one. (One $15 discount for both – the equivalent of $7.50 off each one.) Must have MPerks app and clip the coupon before checking out.

You can buy two $25 Mastercard gift cards for a $3.10 profit or buy two $500 gift cards to rack up bonus credit card points and the $15 discount will more than cover the activation fees.

Mastercard gift cards are harder to liquidate, but I’d guess they work at Family Dollar, Dollar General and Rite Aid (no personal experience on these).

Seems like the offer has disappeared from the site…
Can anyone still load this offer?

I had two offers in my just4u account. Bought 1 $500 VGC and got the $10, but when I tried to do a second one it didn’t work for me. Bummers. At least the manager was nice enough to cancel the 2nd transaction since neither of us was sure it would work.

interesting, which store was it? it seemed very few people have 2 offers applied to one vgc simultaneously.

btw: gamestop is selling vanilla vgc now, most of them do not allow gc for vgc, very few of them do. i am not sure how long this can last.

This was at Randalls. I wasn’t trying to apply both offers to the same $500 gc purchase. I did 1 purchase and was going to do a separate 2nd purchase to try to trigger the 2nd offer.

Here was Randalls as well :-), obviously this was a bug in their system. it is a hassle to visit the same store so often that this could be easily suspected as fraud.

Yes, the two offers worked just like a charm on the same vgc. and I can even pay with multiple vanilla vgc.
of course, you can go back later and purchase another $200 vgc with the one you just bought, unless they checked your id
if you pay with sallie mae, that would be 5x for cashback
if you pay with vanilla vgc, then you convert these vanilla vgcs to metabank vgc, which could be easily loaded into serve at walmart or family dollar.
or you can buy large denomination vgc (e.g., $500)with multiple $100 vgc, making the serve reload easier

in the just4u account, there are two $10 off $150 offers(supposed to be one only), even for new registered account, there are two identical offers, interestingly, the $20 was deducted from either fixed amount $200 vgc or variable load $20-500 VGC

yes, most people have one only, i have two in almost every account(>20), maybe this is regional? I wish the self checkout can work but unfortunately not(need authorization for gift card purchase ), I do not have OBC card or new credit card that has a minimum spending for bonus.
the good thing is that this offer lasts until 12/19, the bad things are that $14 free money might not be worth, the cashier might be surprised to see the big discount,and the manager sometimes request to show ID….their items are more pricey than kroger, purchasing only one vgc looks strange…

Variable loads at Safeway in California can be bought using credit, and will surface the $10 off deal. But they do *not* earn fuel points which I wasn’t certain about. Don’t know if the fixed value ones do, but there weren’t any $200 cards so I would have had to spend $5.95 ($100) and $4.95 ($50) to test it out, so I thought I’d try this first.

We don’t have Safeway in Texas, but they merged with Randalls so I find that my Randalls Remarkable card also works at Safeway in other states. I’ll have to give this a try!

This does apply to Vons as well
You don’t need the app to apply the offer
For Vons go here: http://www.vons.com/ShopStores/Offers-Landing-IMG.page
Put in your already registered phone number, obviously the one you will input at the register
You will see the offer and can add it directly on the site. It will then go grey and say “ADDED”
It SHOULD then apply the credit at the register automatically. The offer says “instant” $10
Will try later today

For me, if you look at all the categories, select “Special Offers” – It should be one of the ones there. I used the website for what it’s worth.
