He said he was responsible for Giant, Food Lion and Dollar General (or Family Dollar - not sure) supermarkets, but said that it was because of Incomm, and of course had a big Incomm box filled with gift cards.

He said he couldn’t speak for Harris Teeter and when I visited one today they had $6.95 cards. Although they are Pathward, they are the Canary yellow kind, similar to what is sold at Staples. When I tried to use one though, I couldn’t redeem for more than a couple hundred dollars. So I probably won’t be buying those.

7-11 around me appears to be holding strong at $4.95 but a little harder to scale.
