Requiring debit

So new to churning, have had success at Kroger. Saw this great deal with Safeway and decided to give it a shot.

I have tried to purchase VGC at a Albertsons and Tom Thumb and first thing cashier asks me if I am paying with Debit. Of course from what I have read it's best to be honest and keep low profile. I tell them credit and they turn me away from being able to purchase. Is my best bet the self check out? I have never purchased VGC via self check out but I assume just scan the card and the promps will lead me the rest of the way

Any idea if self checkout works?

Yes it will, GC purchases at self check for me require a cashier override when scanning the GC.

I don't have this $10 off $100+ VGC under J4U (the one that expires in June).. Is that a targeted offer? Does it work without the J4U coupon loaded?

You must load the coupon to your J4U account. In my household, all three accounts had the promotion.

Has anyone else had trouble using prepaidgiftbalance.com?
I need to register the cards I got from safeway, the $100 Mastercards from last week. But when I use the site, it says the following error:
"We are unable to process this request. Please call the phone number on the back of your card for additional assistance. "
Calling gives me the correct balance, so cards are fine, but it seems like the online site is messed up?
This is with the new ones, green card for $50 and red card for $100. The old ones register just fine online.

I started having that issue with some cards. It's possible that it was a site/cookie issue, try using an incognito window.

Unfortunately i believe they block by IP after certain number of cards and do not unblock for some time. I ad to use different IP to register my cards after that.

By "this deal" I assume you mean the $10 off VGC via J4U.

I bought a VGC today, got $10 off.

It's typical with Safeway though, that the ability to add a particular coupon to your J4U account ends before the promotion does. So you have to add it ASAP.

Yes, that's what I meant. I tried to add VGC promotion coupon via J4U but couldn't find it anymore.

Thanks...Got one $500 VGC w/ $10 off, and one $100 AGC w/ $10 off.

Unfortunately, the magstripe on the VGC didn't work when I tried it at the WM Money Center, at a WM self-checkout line, or at a soda vending machine, so I had to call to get a replacement. The package doesn't look tampered and the full load was still there, but who knows these days!
