My Stop & Shop in NY this past week pulled all the variable load cards for some reason. Only ones on the rack are $100 visas and MCs. Variable load AmEx cards remain on the rack. This is one of three local Stop & Shops. I have yet to check the other two.
Coupon for $15 towards groceries (IN SAME transaction) DOES work on variable load vgc's at Martin's. I used it to buy a $500 vgc. (purchased w/ chase Freedom) To address another question, there's no fuel points on this promotion/transaction)
Does anyone know if you can buy a $500 VGC? I would think you could but wondered if anyone has already purchased.
At Martin's & Giant, yes. They've had non fuel points promos on these cards before... (btw, neither on strike here in Virginia, a state notoriously hostile to any form of organized anything.... afaik)
Ordinarily though, vgc and mcgc of any stripe don't earn fuel points (at least in my experience at Martin's) unless so specially indicated.
will be trying this later tonight and report back.
Yes, I bought a $500 variable Visa this morning and it took $15 off my grocery purchase.
thanks for posting just used in central NJ
Doc, 31,000 Stop & Shop employees in New England are on strike right now. Its really bad form to cross picket lines.

I'll add a note about the strike. I'll leave it to readers to decide if they want to cross the picket line or not.
Thanks, Will. Very much appreciate the note.
Bad form to whom? This is a site about miles/points. What if I side with the “evil” corporation and not with the ungrateful folks with paying jobs?
Cross the picket line and get expired meat!
But stop shop is still on strike
Do you have to buy the Visa gift card in the same transaction as the grocery purchase to get the savings?
yes, usually it works this way
Will the variable load cards trigger the offer? Thinking about minimizing the fee costs
Yes, I bought a $500 variable Visa this morning and it took $15 off my grocery purchase.
Lol not crossing the picket lines for this.
Also this is kind of silly. With gas points I get like $30 in savings per card or more. So a net $23 minus activation fee.
With this you essentially get $8 in groceries if you subtract the activation fee.
This is new to me. Can you explain or guide me where I can learn more about this?
Sometimes you can buy Visa/MC gift card and earn gas points.
But the opportunity to stack if there is a VISA gas points deal next week or before 5/2 is what is really attractive.
Not everyone drives
Hope the strike ends soon. Throwing a wrench in my planned MS.
Yes but gas points can normally not be earned on VGC, correct?
