Our Verdict
Sweet deal. These stores sell $500 Visa gift cards, and you should be able to get $15 back in groceries on a purchase of a $500 card, all while racking up some grocery spend. Or use Chase Freedom for 5x through the end of June.
Hat tip to @hoover611
Sorry for the noob MS question, but if I buy a VGC with an Amex Blue Cash Preferred, will it count as a cash advance, or be coded so that Amex will know it’s a gift card, or do they not get that detailed of data? I am trying to hit the $1000 spend in 90 days for the upgrade I recently did, and this seems an easy way to do it. Also, is there any easy way to turn that VGC back into cash without losing a large chunk in fees, other than just spend it as I go?

Similar offer in my app for Shaws this week for $10, minimum spend is $100.
FYI — At least in Giant in MD, gift card purchases of $250 or above require a manager key/override and can’t be done at self checkout. Deal is still worth doing, but just makes it slightly annoying.
I’m hoping for a Visa gift card gas points deal before July 6 so I can double dip like the recent Happy cards deal.
No Visa GC deal that I’m aware of, but 3x gas points on MC starts at Giant/S&S on Friday. A better deal for most folks, especially since Giant’s food prices tend to be on the high side (personally, I primarily go to Giant for free gas, not groceries). We’ve also had the Safeway/Acme deal (good through Saturday if you loaded it) where you get an instant $10 off on a $500 Visa GC purchase. For most folks, that’s also a better deal. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic have been spoiled with supermarket gift card deals lately.
Alas, there’s no VGC gas points deal next week either.
Can I use the $15 right away?
At least at Giant of PA, the $15 is taken off your grocery bill that you purchased the gift card so you have to use during that transaction.
Nice, thanks DoC. Also loads via Martin’s Foods. (VA, Md, PA.)
Available at Giant Food in VA as well.

Oh, I see it’s at all of them. Let me update and repost.
