Hat tip to GC Galore
Is there a link to this offer? I don’t see it on the GCM site.
Wayne Herndon You have to go to the mall management office to buy.
I just want to echo what Jan B and Bob said below. I called the six Simon malls in my area, and, of those, only one has Guest Services open and operating during normal mall hours (including on weekends). The other five malls are only selling gift cards Monday through Friday during the business day out of the management office. In other words, if you have a regular daytime job, you will have a hard time taking advantage of this promotion.
Do you have a link to the official promotion? Went to two Simon malls (in OH) and Lowes NOT included. Please update post with correct information. One promotion that is current is $10 Visa when you are buying a $75 card of American Eagle, Dominos, Fanatics, JC Penny, Nautical. Oshkosh Bgosh, or Spa Finder.
Jason thompson I got a PDF flyer by e-mail from my local mall. It said that Lowe’s was included. I also saw the same flyer at the management office when I went to buy some Happy cards. But it does not appear to be posted online. I can e-mail you the flyer if you tell me where to sent it.
I’d love a copy of the flyer if you don’t mind. [email protected]
I see three potential options to get 3rd party GC’s with Happy cards:
H. Holiday: for Lowe’s, but these cards are excluded in this promo
H. Her: for BBB (not many BBB carry external giftcards though)
H. Kid: for BB-Baby (see above)
Anyone else know about other/better options?
Also, still looking for the elusive ‘Happy Ending’ cards… 😉
Some BBBs around me (NYC area) have third party GCs including VGCs. On 11/19, I redeemed a Happy card for a VGC. YMMV depending on cashier.
Because we all had so much fun last year converting our discounted Happy cards to those eligible BBB gift cards which qualified for mail-in-rebate, only to have BBB later tell us that our purchases were ineligible and did not qualify for rebate. I’m not falling for that trap again!
The Lowe’s promo is pretty similar, get 2 $10 Lowe’s eGC when you buy 2 $50 Happy GCs, but their Happy Holidays card didn’t have a Lowe’s.
Can the Simon VGC be used anywhere like the regular VGC?
Catapult Yes, for organic spend. There have been intermittent issues with liquidating them at Walmart and Kroger to buy money orders.
My experience was only one free gift card per day per promotion kind, so i can only get one free 10$ for buying lowes card and one free $15 visa card for buying happy card. Not sure they will relax the rule or rules change this year. I may only buy one of each regardless.
David 7914 Flyer says the limit is 5 per day. My experience has always been that I was allowed to buy 5 cards per mall per day, so you could get more if you had more than one Simon mall nearby.
Is it has to be separate transactions for each $50 gift card?
Tony Usually. I did have a CSR once who let me buy a $500 Happy card and gave me a combined bonus card — but usually they make you do each transaction separately.
Why would Lowe’s be popular? Feel like I’m missing something. All hints accepted. Thanks.
For me, I’m a contractor, so I get all the discounted Lowes and HD cards I can find. For others, maybe because Lowes sells many other gift cards.
Because people bought a lot of stuff from home improvement these days. There is a type of happy card (holiday if my memory serve me well) still be a visa, have lowe’s and can be used to pay for 3rd gift card (of course ymmv with cashiers).
Tony its system is now hardcoded to reject 3rd party gc with its own gc
This would be new thing in their pos. Previously the Visa based happy card still can be used to buy 3rd gift card.
no, meant with its own lowe’s gc ; i haven’t yet tried a H card, with which still worked for u recently?
As another poster said (and I can confirm), Happy Holidays is excluded from this promo sadly
For those looking for Lowe’s discount, you have options: 14.3% at Safeway, 16.7% for Simon, or 20% with Discover points.

Do they add 10$ cards to cart once i add 50$ Lowe’s? i am not seeing it online or even in cart.
mawn You have to go to Guest Relations in the mall to buy these in person.
If you buy $100 in Lowe’s gift card, would you get 2 $10 gift cards or would you have to buy 2 separated $50 Lowe’s gift cards? I ask since I believe Lowe’s limits you online to 5 gift cards per order.
Jack Jones YMMV. My experience has been that some Simon mall CSRs will let you combine purchases into one card, and count each increment as a separate purchase, and some will not.
Last time I checked, there is no one representing cust. service in the Simon Mall/Outlet booths. How would one purchase the promotions?
Management office
I just can’t see going to the office to buy a few gift cards, to be honest. I would think the employees would rather not be running a gift card retail office. That is just my take on it all.
That’s where the cards are kept. That’s where the cc machine is. That is what they do.
