Never been to a Gelson’s before but went tonight. Was pleased to find a decent GC selection. Like others said, didn’t see Visa’s but they did have a $500 MCGC. Tempted, but instead got Arco $50+$50+$25 gift cards, and cashier was happy to split tender for me. $60+$65 transaction = 24% discount on the cheapest gas in town. I’m happy!

veeRob Did you split tender by swiping the same Amex card twice, or two different Amex cards? I never thought about doing a split tender with the same card before to get two transactions out of the same purchase. Would love confirmation that it worked if that’s what you did.

That’s exactly what I did. The two charges appeared separately on my statement and I received a single $30 credits, so confirmed working. Screenshot @ https://i.imgur.com/uGeSu3t.png

veeRob Clever! Thank you for taking the time to answer. This will give me more gift card options when I go to Gelson’s tomorrow.

It didn’t even occur to me that the system might not accept the double swipe on the same card. Hope you have the same success!

0/4 and the amex site was down for a few mins too. Ah, who cares, no Gelson’s near me in the Valley.

I just got a $5 off $25 coupon in the mail too which is nice. It’s a beautiful store but eye-wateringly expensive so these 2 offers combined brings it back in range. Mostly.

No kidding. I have done rough comparisons across various grocery stores in my area of SoCal, and Gelson came out tops (if you like shelling out money) – ahead of Whole Foods! That’s got to mean something.

I just bought $60 Gelson gift card two times and it triggered the Amex Offer. They consistently send out $5 off $25 coupons, which can be used regardless of the expiration date. They carry my favorite ice cream, so that’s where I go…

Do they sell other store gift cards or Visa/Mastercard gift cards?

They might. I’ll check the next time I go.

Yes. They have a reasonable collections of third-party GCs, including Shell and EBay. Some stores also had VGCs and MCs.
