you made no such distinction in your initial post. you simply said it wasn't a worthwhile deal then talked OT about staples.
with or without gas points it's a good deal and very worthwhile if you know how to augment it. it's been around periodically for a long time.
and now i will be thankful again for the ignore function.

You're right about the FM link, but the last comment on that link was what was worth paying attention to (for me anyway). And I think the person was commenting on the Variable Mastercard
"I got shot down really hard in Bellevue, WA. "Cash only!" All of the Seattle area stores have gotten the memo."
"I got shot down really hard in Bellevue, WA. "Cash only!" All of the Seattle area stores have gotten the memo."
for your guys' sake i hope they're mistaken. but if not, i hope it's regional to SEA only! frankly, when the hammer did come down here, i was surprised that the non-reloadables were spared. the criminals are always stepping on our game. chip and pin needs to get here now to cut down on cc fraud. THEN, homeland security should target the drug dealers, money launderers and terrorists who buy these products with cash and make these products credit card only!!!
dare to dream...

No problem buying fixed Visa/MC at most Safeway here in the Seattle area (variables are still problematic). It was just one store that went cash only for everything after they got "the memo". Before they got the memo you could buy anything with CC (including reloadits, paypower, univision). I was pretty sure they misinterpreted the memo, but now you've piqued my interest to see the actual memo if it clarifies variable Visa/MC can be bought with CC. I haven't been back to that store.

The cashiers who reject my Univision purchases say reloadables are cash only.
However, giftcards (variable or not) are still all good say my cashiers.

I'm pretty sure the memo is not from corporate because variables are allowed in my area. It could be just your region too so not entirely sure.

It would be VERY useful if someone could post an image of the memo! All my local Safeway stores are cash only for all Visa variable load cards and have been so for years. Any evidence that the national policy is different would really help me convince a manager to let me buy with a CC.

I have never seen it in person, but my cashiers say it is by the chrono machine.
From what they say, it basically says what cards are cash only and Univision is one of them.
Also, sechs, where are the Vons/Safeway gas stations in LA? Was in the area a few months ago and only saw 1 in Long Beach?

I think someone posted it a couple pages back...I can confirm that it works in VA (at least for the $100 Visa GC).

@kxc262 : I was able to do it multiple times. Looks like it is unlimited. I did not use my Safeway card.
@tmiw : You don't have to add anything to your Vons card. Just make sure that Catalina machine has a green light and it should print out the coupon.
