Our Verdict
Not the hottest gift card brands, but could be a good deal for some people. Remember use a card that earns at a high rate on grocery store purchases, including the Chase Freedom this quarter. Not sure if you earn fuel points on retailer gift cards at Safeway, but I think you do (?).
The Safeway coupon deals are usually at Von’s, Albertson’s, Randall’s, Tom Thumb, Acme, Shaw’s, and Jewel too. I’m unsure if this deal is too.
Hat tip to reader Savingwizard
This must be regional or something, no sign in my store and there’s no mention of this in the weekly circular. Not risking to try to buy at full price.
Din’t see this from local safeways.
How exactly do I use the coupon from this offer? Went to my local Albertsons and actually bought one of the eligible gift cards organically earlier today. Purchase went fine, but nowhere does it mention the coupon. The receipt shows I got 2x Fuel Points for the purchase but makes no mention of this offer. Checked in my J4U! account and nothing there either. Should I have gotten a physical coupon at the register or something?
Is this part of Safeway’s Just For You or is it an independent promotion? It doesn’t show up in my JFU.
It just automatically applies at the register, look for a sign in the store.
I got 2x $10 off $100 and $5 off $30 after buying $500 vgc in their last promotion
You earn double fuel points on retailer gcs by default.
Yep. That’s how I get effectively 10% off Amazon without getting Amazon specific credit card: Chase freedom groceries are 5% which is effectively 7.5% for travel with Sapphire Reserve. Then I also earn $1 off gallon for a $500 gift card purchase. My gas refills are around 15 gallons, so $15+$37.5 via UR = $52.5 on $500 worth of Amazon gift cards.
amazon gc won’t get the $15 off
I find using the points for grocery rewards to be worth more than for fuel, but I guess it depends on gas prices at other stations in your area.
Especially important to explore competing offers on HAPPY cards which are so widely discounted. I’ve stopped buying them due to the insecure packaging.
I’ve never had a problem with them. They don’t really work online and I’ve used them months after buying them without an issue.
The Happy Guy cards are great for Home Depot for me.
Can you use happy Dad at Home Depot for online purchase?
