Is this current promotion regional? My Safeway flyer doesn't have anything about it.

In store signage?

Bought another one this morning, same account, another $10 coupon spit out. Was told cash or debit only (cashier I didn't know). Bought with Debit.

What are the exclusions on the $10 coupon? Can it be applied while buying another gift card?

YMMV. Let's us know whether it works for you or not.

The coupon from the MC deal should work automatically if the order is > $10

That sucks. I guess I will continue getting the Visa coupons manually taken off by cashiers. $25 is pretty steep when I have a big pile of VIsa coupons. Plus the prices are high at Safeway so that limits the usefulness of the coupon.

Will not scan in properly. A supervisor is able to override, but very unlikely they will do it

That Visa promo, ugh. Every coupon I used required manual override . each time I tried to use it they tried to say something else, 25 min purchase, 75...100..i just kept reiterating no... 10 min. Hopefully this one isn't so hard to redeem.

Why the fretting over the mucked up coupons from the Visa promotion? With every problem there is opportunity. For example venting your frustration of the challenge in using them to the manager on duty and then him offering to exchange them for a Vons GC of equal value (which doesn't have nearly the amount of restrictions as do the coupons -- being able to buy a case of beer being one of those).

If you can buy $50 of groceries, there is also a special now where you get '$5 off your next purchase'. (till 07/23)

Just bought two 500 variables back to back (separate transactions) and got two separate $10 off coupons. And these actually say, "minimum $10 purchase" unlike the old Visa promo which simply was $10 off. So, these should be much less of a PITA to redeem. Time to load up!

I recall buying some USBank VISAs from Tom THumb last month and couldnt use to buy MO at WM. It's heavily discussed on another thread. The MC variable cards you are getting, are they Metabank or USBANK? Have you tried exiting via MO?

Also, has anyone tried using those MC $10 off coupons yet? Does it scan automatically? The visa overrides suck.

I got very lucky but only once -
1. on a previous GC purchase the coupon didn't print so phone customer service (not the in store) added 10 dollars to my club account.
2. next purchase I made was 6 dollars in grocery and 105.95 for GC and previous 10 dollar on account got automatically applied and then I called attendant on to the kiosk to use one more 10 coupon which he override after slight hesitation and murmuring.

Net - I ended up paying 91.xx for 111.xx. Super YMMV but it happened!
