I tried another computer and still didn't work. But that gave me the idea of using the LTE on my phone. That did work! I was able to check my transactions and register the card. Thanks. So I was wrong and it does have something to do with your IP.

the deal is back on. Just4U version but with the wrinkle that it is both MC and Visa. Runs thru July 1.

variable vgc does not have fuel points in my area.
How about fixed value one?
I recalled 5back worked in this January.

$100 Master Card with red/plaid packaging earned 360 fuel points in my purchase (I guess the fuel points are based on the discounted amount of $90 for the card).
Cashier read the entire back of the card before allowing me to pay for it with a credit card. She did not say anything but when I asked her why, as I was waiting the 10 seconds for Safeway to slowly process my Chip card, she said, "I have to read the back of every gift card to make sure it doesn't say cash only."
What gift cards say "cash only" explicitly on the back?
Hard to believe how poorly run Safeway is. At Kroger with gift card transactions they scan the card and that is it. ID needed on the $100+ swipe credit card purchases in violation of Visa/MasterCard Rules but other than that everything there goes through promptly.

One of Safeways nearby even showed me email they got from the corporate prohibiting them from selling reloadable cards for anything but cash. The problem is they now think "variable" is the same as "reloadable"!!! And I cannot get the idea that these are different things to them. Oh well...

If Safeway wants to have tender type restrictions for certain gift cards, why can't they program it into the cash register?
Why is this company so inept?
Why can every other retailer program tender type restrictions into its register so it does not turn into a game of interpretation with poorly trained employees who do not understand the policy? In a speed focused environment like a grocery store checkout, you do not want employees to be stopping and reading the details on every gift card package and then trying to self-interpret if they can sell it with payment other than cash or not. You want the cashier to scan the "cash only" gift card and either have a message pop up after it is scanned that says "cash only" or have an error pop up upon payment tender when the cashier tries to sell the gift card with anything other than cash.
Even Rite Aid can get this right. Rite Aid- with its VERY old cash registers... can do a tender type restriction on variable load cards. They also post signs that are very clear for the customer and employee (if necessary to explain it to them).

First-time poster, here.
I've been buying the variable-load VGCs from Safeway in Portland, OR. I haven't had any major issues so far.
However, yesterday, when I bought one $500 VGC, the cashier asked for my ID and called a manager over. He didn't seem like he wanted to engage with me at all, so I didn't get an explanation.
Anyone know what this could be about?
