Our Verdict
Looks like a nice deal to pick up a $500 Visa/MC gift card and pay with a credit card that earns bonus points at the grocery store. Then, you can either spend down the gift card anywhere or find another way of unloading the card.
Stack with the Chase/BofA Offer for an additional $9 back.
Hat tip to gcanywhere
Promo code no longer valid
I can’t find visa/master card in ay stores around me. (online) what does that mean? I mean how can it be possible? Apart from online, I don’t think we can apply this code anywhere in store.
Edit: It can found from this link I guess, but it is online and I guess we cannot swipe or use it for MO. Also, still no visa only Master card for me.

i don’t think this new one will stack with the grocery/kroger offers- charge shows as “BHN*GIFTCARDS” in b of a online banking
Where to enter the promo code? When I click on Kroger link it mentioned the promo not available.
Go to the regular Kroger site, then gift cards, then the visa/mc gc section, you should be able to see the promo code note there
@Chuck This is confusing. The original post was for the in-store variable load offer, but now it’s referring to the NOFEEMADNESS code that’s used at the online gift card portal.
Yeah I should have made a new post
Worked on 500 variable MC Fredmeyer. The app claimed I could use it again so I tried again the next day at self checkout, but It did not work again.
Didn’t work at Harris teeter on wife’s account or on mine. Refused to apply manually. What a racket
Does anyone know how HT is supposed to apply this manually? It is in my account but not showing up automatically, and the HT near me couldn’t get it to work, despite 20 minutes of trying.
Did not work at Harris Teeter on a $500 variable load Visa gift card on March 15. Took 20 minutes with the manager to convince them to apply the coupon. First they argued that “Excludes $25, $50, and $100 Mastercard and Visa Gift Cards” meant it only worked for $25, $50 or $100 gift cards. Then they understood the word “excludes” but argued that this meant it didn’t apply to any Visa gift cards. When I showed them the picture of the Visa gift cards and the terms that said it applied “when you load $150 or more on (1) Visa or Mastercard Variable Load Gift Card” they said I should leave and call their corporate number. After more discussion, they finally relented and applied the discount.
It seems like Harris Teeter is the common thread where this discount isn’t working. Sounds like they need to fix something in their system.
Coupon did not auto-apply at HT SCO (variable VGCs were out, tried their new Visa eGift Card).
