The Fine Print

  • Valid Friday 3/17 through Thursday 3/23
  • $15 shopping credit will print on receipt
  • $15 shopping credit will expire on April 6
  • Fine Print indicates that you must use your shopping card to get the deal
  • One offer per transaction
  • You can’t buy a gift card with the $15 coupon, you’ll have to use it on regular groceries

Our Verdict

Great deal being that buying VGC at the grocery can be profitable to begin with if you get bonus points there. Either put exactly $250 on the variable-load card or what I would do is just buy the full $500 amount to increase my MS.

What’s really incredible is that the fine print indicates that this deal is repeatable, so you can buy multiple $250 or $500 cards in separate transactions and get another $15 voucher for each. It remains to be seen whether you’ll be able to redeem all of those vouchers in one big shopping trip or if you’ll have to use them one on each shopping transaction.

Update: In the comments, some people are reporting success with doing this deal multiple times with the same shopping card while others are reporting failure.

My learning from this promo is: if you have NO other options to make spend reqts / MS, and have no other supermarkets like Aldi which will crush Giant’s prices everyday, and are a regular Giant customer anyway, you can get as many $15 off coupons as you can handle, in separate transactions, and this will give you some free groceries and free CC points.

BUT if you recognize Giant is overpriced, and there are more scalable MS strategies, in some areas of the US, where you can buy 3K – 10 K Visa GCs at once and stack points much faster, this is not such a good deal.

too late now, but whoever started the idea of “might as well get $500” (even if only 1 $15) since the free is ~$7 did me wrong.

My fault too, I was thinking along the lines of the occasional Staples rebate for $300 GC, so instead of buying $200+$100GC with 2 fees, we get 2x$200 with 2 fees

I could have about ~$10 more for the $500 if I bought $250 paid the fee, get $15 coupon, buy another $250 paid the fee and get $15 coupon. 30 mins to go before the promo ends…. not going to the store now, though. lol Next time…

Bought 5 coupons using two different Giant bonus card and used four of them successfully. This deal is insane that my third bonus card did not even bought any gift cards but still can use the coupon generated by other bonus card purchase. All the coupons I got were identical. This means everyone who has a bonus card can use this $15 coupon.

Tried to use my 5th coupon today and the register said something along the lines of “Null exception.” I was buying mixers (not actual alcohol as the coupon excludes) so not sure if that was the case or if my store is blocking my repeated use.. Will try a different store tomorrow

It’s also possible that even though the mixers are not alcohol that if they are in the alcohol mix section – they code that way somehow?

Yea was thinking that too. But others have said that the coupon worked for milk which is also excluded. So we’ll see

I’ve bought 9 $500 vgc in the last few days and got 8 $15 coupons (forgot to put my s&s card once), so even though each coupon reads 1 per household it has been highly repeatable for me…

Here’s an interesting DP… stopped by my S&S after work and followed all the protocols: scanned S&S card, purchased $250 VGC with Amex ED along with a few grocery necessities. CS desk had to key for tx to go thru, but then no $15 on receipt. WTH! So I ask CS about this, they scratch their heads and call over MOD. MOD is also baffled, so gives command to hand me $15 CASH.

Correction…received 4 coupons….not 3

Based on my experience today near Baltimore.

1. The 1 per household isn’t enforced (I purchased 2, $250 cards at one store and another 2 at a separate store) All separate transactions and received 3, $15 off coupons.

2. Despite what the coupon says..these CAN be used at self checkout

2. Despite what the coupon says…you CAN use more than one of the coupons at the same time (at least at self checkout you can)

Did you use the same reward card? Are the coupons the same code or unique?

Same reward card. Coupons all have identical code

if the codes are same, did you tried to use same coupon twice? I wonder if its tied to your rewards number..

Thanks for datapoint on using multiple coupons in same transaction at self checkout.

Question: when scanning coupons at self checkout is the attendant promoted to authorize the coupons? Or can you truly self checkout without need of an attendant?

David

No attendant necessary. It scans and says one cent off. Then when you click payment the 15 is taken off.

That seems pretty brave of you to try. Here you have to slide the coupons in after scanning. So I’d have to insert them after seeing them only take 1 cent off and just hope the $15 would show up later. Or did you know they would work that way?
