True at Safeway as well, with caveats
This deal exists at Safeway as well; however, at both of the Safeways I've been to, the coupon hasn't printed after I bought the gift card.
One of them ended up coding a Safeway gift card for me. (Which is nice because it has fewer limitations.) The other one gave me a rain check signed by a manager and said, 'Please try to use this at this store, so they can call me if they have any questions.'
It's a fair hassle, but hey, with the AmEx Blue Cash Preferred, it's $16 back on an outlay of $5. Four of those in a month (don't want to get too greedy and raise any flags) gets me more than halfway to the $75 yearly fee, and that's not even counting the actual groceries that I get.
