xx/xx/15 - xx/xx/15 Promotion

Participating items must be purchased in a single transaction. Limit one(1) offer per transaction

These coupons often do not scan properly(coming up -0.01 along with a 0.01) and require override. Override is always required at SCO.

If the coupon off your next order does not print out, you can request it online here.

When redeeming the coupon, the following items are excluded in the calculation of the minimum spend requirement:
-Fluid dairy such as Milk, Half & Half, etc
-Blunts, alcohol, and smokes
-Gift cards, Lottery tickets, MoneyGram, etc

Different Tom Thumb and I got fuel points but still no coupon.. But they printed me one pronto. I'm guessing it's not supposed to but the wording in the ad says I should get one.

Anyone can confirm this with me ???

I am in Dallas, tx. I got a really crazy result!!!!!!!!

1. I just purchased a $500 amex in the self-checkout section.
2. No other item with this purchase.
3. No Coupon Print out, but Get 10 dollar cash from CS.


3. In the receipt : I got 1000 gift card points.
GAS REWARDS AVALIABLE :10.(1 dollar off per gallon on gas!!!!!!)
PS: Before I made this purchase, i only has 33 points in my card. I used my card two weeks ago for gas, so I am sure I do not have any Gas Rewards available before I purchase this Amex Card!!!

IS SYSTEM ERROR ? ?

Sorry
opps. I should get 1000 points ... 100 gas points = 1 Gas reward. ....... But I still not get any updates on my app yet...


Question: So for mastercard and visa card, we also can get points too ? or i need to get something with it?

Why are AmEx GC's better than VGC's or MGC's?

Hm I don't think anybody is saying its better, but the fuel points are a nice perk in addition to the coupon/cash this week.

Is this only in certain states? I don't see it in the weekly ad.

Also, does anyone know if J4U is available in Maryland?

I've only experienced VGC and MCGC. Whats the best way to cash out these American Express GC?

Amazon Payments? Buying VGC/MCGC at other stores?

thanks so much. I will keep rolling the amex gc today in case safeway found out some system error and adjust it....

Hope the cashier will allow me to use the amex gc to roll six times.

So I can get discounted gas for the next 60 days!

Really don't see the point of buying the $500 AMEX if you don't get a coupon. If you want fuel points it would be simpler to buy a univision and PIN it out. Even if they said cash only for the univision you could pay cash and end up with the same result as buying the AMEX (you are giving up $500 of CC spend if you pay cash for a univision but you effectively do the same thing when you buy the AMEX since the only way to cash out the AMEX is to forego $500 of CC spend).

Good point. AP is probably the only viable option to liquidate AMEX.

Hi, thanks for sharing this information. So I need to have a univision prepaid credit card, and then use cash to reload this card with cash at safeway to get points ? Or I can just buy the univision reload packs( i do not know this is exist or not).

I found another way to to liquadate , but just need to pay another 6 dollar for target. They have a target visa gift card. I can use the amex to purchase that card. They do not check names. So I did couple times.....Then reload the BB. But looks like the univision is a better choice to do it.
