It's the last line of the fine print. You'd expect it to be in the first few lines considering half of Safeway's visa/amex gift cards are variable load.

So the fees on both Visa and Amex variables are 5.95
What's the fees on the fixed?
Easy enough to check myself, but I wanted to post another thought: Since their weekly ads are making it more and more clear (as time passes) that Safeway and Albertsons are the same company, anybody think to try to redeem the Catalina at Albertsons?

Now THAT'S a good deal because there is no fee to purchase the cards (unlike visa and horrid Amex) so your ROI is pure 12% assuming you use these merchants. Plus gas rewards and for a few cards the grocery bonus. We spend $$$$ at Amazon every year so a no brainier.
Not really manufactured spend because you can't convert GCs to cash unless you sell them.

Those with discover double Cashback is also 10% (5%x2), but the freedom would be better to use and easier. For those that spend a lot at Amazon it would be a good time to stock up on Amazon GCs

OTOH, I still have a bunch of amazon gift credit from MPX Amex reimbursements, so I might not even hop in on that.

Actually, the $15 coupon isn't the same as cash (e.g., you lose the 5% on that $15 your credit card would give you, and you need to spend $25 before the coupon expires), so the numbers are slightly worse. Maybe 14 or 15% total discount.

Yeah, I am not knocking it. But unless you happen to still have an empty refrigerator or freezer(and/or a bunch of spare pantry/storage space), this deal only scales so far. At this time of year, I usually end up buying cans and cans of whatever vegetables/chili/tuna/soup/whatever are on sale that week and donating.

Yesterday I bought 3 $500 variable visa, and got 400 "J4U Bonus" gas points (total, not per card; and no other points besides those, and nothing else bought in that transacation). I'm not sure why. In case it matters, the packages were balls (exp 2/2024), boats (exp 6/2024), tools (exp 1/2023).
