See my post a couple above, but just now I did successfully buy a $100 MC GC with a CC and I got the $10 Off Coupon.

Edit: She did ask how I was going to pay, I said credit and she let it fly.

Bought $500 visa GC with CC today at Safeway (San Francisco bay area), but no $10 coupon printed. Maybe I should try to get it online.

Anyone find any actual material (printed or online) about the offer?

When you can only get the $10 coupon for buying $100 cards, sure, it's a nice way to get some 40% off groceries at an expensive supermarket, but, it's not a practical means of MS. When you get it on the $500 cards, it then becomes a 'bonus' on your regularly scheduled MS.

If the printed material has no exclusions on variable loads, or, doesn't say anything about 'must get exactly $100', then one has good great recourse when the coupon doesn't print if they have printed material about the promotion in hand.

Is it the straight $100 gift card or a minimum of $100 on the variable gift card? If it is the latter I suspect it is regional because my $500 mc purchase today came up empty. Happy to be wrong (even moreso if someone has the offer in writing so my local manager can give me $10) and less happy but still ok if someone can confirm it is not the variable one.

Mine was a variable load card, coupon printed fine.

Thanks for posting that.

It does seem there are mixed results however on the variable load MC's.

At any rate, I can tolerate the tedium of manually setting the PIN, one-at-a-time-on-a-one-minute-and-9-second-phone-call for the $10 bonus groceries.

Like Rookie3 did earlier, I will test a $500 MC tonight. Whether I buy another one after depends on the results of the former

I got my 500 MC, coupon printed out fine. I used the coupon in the next trip, I picked up some groceries and another MC, like one of previous promotion, cashier had to manually apply the coupon. I got the second coupon as well.

I went in and got 2 $500 MC with the same safeway club phone number and it spit out 2 coupons. Been a while since I liquidated these MC's, went in to 2 WM's (old and new swipe machines) and couldn't unload. Need to find a working kiosk for this MC to work.

Black/white machine: press "Cancel" once it appears on the screen
Color machine: press "change payment type" as soon as it shows up

I tried those and still it didn't work. Did about 20K during the visa promotion last month. I will not do much with MC unless I find a consistent way to liquidate this.
