That's how it has worked for me here in SAN in the past at Ralphs. I was confused the first time, too, because when they have the "40 cent" gc deals it does NOT show in the total of fuel points at the bottom of your receipt. In the end, it works out better because you still earn the normal 2x fuel points on gift cards PLUS the 40 cent promo - so if you buy 1 $100 gift card you can get a fill up at 40 cents off and a second fill up at 20 cents off.
I still haven't figured out if buying 2 $100 cards gets you 2 fills at 40 cents off.
