Yep. You may find some GC(Variable "fire" GC) don't get the J4U 8X posted correctly the phone reps are surprisingly helpful and no problem to apply to account.

EDIT: I this weeks offer looks a little different than the one a couple weeks ago, but the $60 GC shown does apply to your Amazon balance.

Concurring with slack455, the Kindle cards state explicitly on the packaging that they can be used to buy anything on amazon.com, or just loaded to your gift card account balance. The purchase of two $60 Kindle cards will give you a $1 discount per gallon of gas, with $.20/gallon left over for the next tankful.

If you have a 20-gallon tank, that's $24 in your pocket. Safeway gas is not quite as cheap as Costco gas, but almost, so the savings are probably about $20 over Costco. Over time, it adds up.

Can you please clarify?

Your math implies you get 8X from J4U but also get a "base" 2X for a total of 10X. Is it indeed 10X? Thx.

I stand corrected.....you will receive the 8X but not the 2X. My apologies.

Talking about strategy of buy which face value, shouldn't the $50 card perform better?

$50 cost $45 Discount = 10%
$100 cost $96 Discount = 4%
$500 cost $496 discount = <1%

It appears that it only makes sense to by $500 if the deal has limits. When it's unlimited, $50 cards are better.

The deal is unlimited only in the ivory tower. I do not have unlimited time. My Vons' cashiers also do not have unlimited patience. Nor do the customers in line (and I think holding up a line for 10 swipes would make it at least twice as likely that I get jumped by one of them). My liquidation outlet also does not have unlimited patience. So on.

Controlling for variables, I do much better with 100 $500 mcgc than I do with 100 $50 mcgc. Don't you? Are you trying to keep all the variables for yourself?

likely go to different cashier or stop again while on the way; to liquidate, a load to prepaid acct with split pay or MO buy with split pay about 3 times possibly on different day; any rate, definitely take more time & effort; while the fixed gives extra fuel pts / savings, the variable $500 yields higher cc cashback

if you are going to use these for spend you would otherwise put on a card, go with 50s/100s. If you are gonna MS, go with variables. You'd be crazy and put very little value on your time to MS with the low denom fixeds.

Totally agreed! I need to max out my 6X MR points from my EDP and 5X from my OBC. Unfortunately, the promotion will end today.

DP confirmation/reaffiration/yadda - At Safeway/Albertsons, Usbank MCGC works with Serve after registration. Watch out for the leftover $2.50 in pre-auth test deposits.

Anyone tried purchasing VGCs at Safeway using an AGC? Myself and Venmo have broken up after a sweet and very short affair so I need to liquidate a 3k card. I've believe CVS and OD/OM are other options out there but Safeway would be nice since they never look at the cards.
