Our Verdict
Hopefully not to late to take advantage.
Where to drain the Vanillas now? Dead in Walmart and PO… just grocery stores left?
Okay bought 1300 worth of best buy for cards in heb. I picked up the yellow coupons in the store and asked them whether they would care if I buy multiple ones. Got 325 worth of heb gift cards last night.
Woke up early and went to heb picked up a switch and a free game using the gift cards
Will use best buy cards to use shell cards for next one year.
1. Add $100 on Uber/Best Buy GC
2. Add $25 on HEB GC
3. Scan the bar code from app
4. Do not panic, wait for ~10 seconds, $25 discount should appear
Couple updates:
In general, HEB coupons for free gift cards seem to at times notify the cashiers and they scan a HEB gift card to the order to trigger the deal, but often I’ve noticed that they don’t have a clue about it, so to solve this issue, just ask the cashier to add a HEB gift card for the amount you need ahead of time. Once the coupon is activated it should automatically subtract the amount from your total and will reflect this in the amount applied.
I noticed in store they had a yellow paper coupon in the gift cards section for $10 HEB gift card with a $50 Nike gift card purchase.
They also had a yellow coupon for the same criteria as the digital coupon for $10 HEB gift card for $100+ purchase of the various merchants, but I noted that the yellow coupon also contained Toys R Us as an option. I double checked digital and that is not listed, but the yellow coupon is usually much more reliable than the digital coupon anyway.
DP for using the above gift card coupons:
Using my established account that I’ve had for a long time, I added both offers. They warn there can be a time delay of 5-6 minutes, I waited over 30 minutes before checking out as I added while I was still at work.
Added $100 to variable VGC and added $100 to variable Uber gift card, no other items in order. After adding the HEB gift cards my digital coupon only worked for the $10 HEB gift card, so the Uber coupon wasn’t processing right.
The manager was brought over and she tried several options including cancelling the order and trying to do just the $100 for uber to trigger the $25 gift card rebate, but it still didn’t work, so she told me I would have to call the digital coupon customer support line to obtain $25 refund or they would mail the gift card. I haven’t done this before, so we’ll see if I have any success with it. I’d recommend just using the $25 yellow paper coupon on this as I expect it should work without issue
It is very easy now with the yellow coupons out.
Limit of 1? Or can you increment and buy $200 and get $50 back for example?
The digital coupon reflects “limit 1 per customer” and it’s buy $100 or more to receive the gift card, so I wouldn’t expect to receive more than $25 in one purchase in regard to that offer or $10 from the one Vanilla purchase.
I’m not sure if it’s hard coded in their system to automatically remove the coupon or if there is a lag where you might be able to use it multiple times in separate transactions, so I went ahead and registered it through multiple accounts instead.
Thanks Lag! Can always use different numbers if I needed more and was just curious.
how do i use this? i created a new account, selected the coupon and what do i do in store? i dont have a heb card though.
After registering for the app or online, there is a section where you can set a pin, so you can use your digital coupons even if the app isn’t working.
Within the app there is a barcode that can be scanned to use the coupons or at the register, there is a prompt where you enter your phone number & pin that you setup during registration and it automatically loads all coupons that meet the requirements for items you are purchasing.
It had some issues when they first implemented the app/digital coupons, but I haven’t had any issues recently.
Also, I’d like to confirm that new users are able to access these offers as well. I just created a second account using my Google # to take advantage of the deal and found them there as well.
If anyone works for HEB corporate downtown, the cafeteria has vvgc and it codes as dining. (Source , I work there)
For anyone trying to find the offer, quickest way I found was to switch to “Other” category. Only 4 total options, so easily seen there.
Also, I noticed they had the following which expires 11/28/17:
Buy $100+ Uber, Bass Pro, or Best Buy & Get free $25 HEB gift card!
Nice, will add that other deal.
Coupon shows it also works for GameStop and ToysRUs
