Maybe I'm not thinking about this correctly, but: with a $5.95 fee per card, seems like this is a push under best circumstances. Even purchasing with a 5% card wouldn't fully cover fee plus liquidation cost, so the benefit seems to lie solely in the 40 cents per gallon off (per $100 card). So you save $8 on a 20 gallon fill-up?

Has anyone been able to confirm the 7/15 end date? I have an AA card on its way and hoping to catch at least one day with this deal still going

The $100 GC angle is pretty smart. Sadly i have all the fuel points I can feasibly used over the next 2 months. I have collected about 100 of these $5 coupons. I'm getting sick of them to be honest. Only because they have a short life. Otherwise I'd be all over it till the bitter end.

However, my local Fred Meyer had the promotion till 7/12. I wonder if the computer glitch means that the coupon will continue printing till 7/15.

Bought 2 $500 VGC and no coupon printed. Can someone confirm if anyone got $5 coupon printed today?

I've bought dozens this past week, a few times I've run into a register (usually self-checkout) that doesn't print a coupon even with light on and paper loaded. At one Krogers I found 2 out of 6 self-checkouts don't print for some strange reason.
Just switch over to a different register and avoid the ones that didn't print next time.

By the way, this story caught my eye. Not the fraud, but the reported "large amounts" charged that caught the attention of the Fraud Dept. Because Kroger is taking DL info, is it to gather information per store or regionally? My Kroger still allows purchase of MO via debit card but also asks for K cards.

Did 5 individual transactions of $500 MC at two different frys today and got a coupon each time. The cashier asked how I knew that she should run them all individually, she thought I was some kind of human genius or something. She said she had never heard of doing that (she didnt seem real smart).

"Jamar said Halaweh stole about $150,000 worth of gift cards from Safeway stores by using fake credit cards to purchase them."
