GC's purchased between 4/9-4/22. The coupon will be for $5 off a future purchase, but cannot be used for GC's, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.

It was the DL scan, apparently we showed up on their printout and the unusually high amounts got the mgr's attn.

What did you get? Was it a $5 coupon or just the notice of the up coming promotion?

What's the GC trigger level at Kroger for the scan?

Around here, get my DL scanned for $100 and that was a BB GC.

I believe its more than $75....you can always test it using the self check out machines.

Wait a minute.. With Variable GCs, we save a dollar when compared to buying VRs.. $6.9 fee for $1000 factoring the $5 coupon as real cash which not really is since Kroger's prices are 20% more than Walmart or Costco and that compensates the $1 savings.. I guess I am gonna pass.. Yeah, CVS is dead but thats not end of world..

Kroger does run decent sales on certain items and is where we buy most of our meat anyway. There are cc's out there that offer grocery store bonuses, when combined with this become quite lucrative.

Is this deal regional or national? I couldn't find it in the Weekly Ad for my local store

Bought 2x500 VGCs today and no coupon in DFW. So I'm not sure. Anyone want to weigh in on this?

The same in Indiana.

Do we need to scan our shopper card to get the coupon?

Variable Cards do not qualify. I tried them this morning and then read the terms and they don't qualify according to the flyer in the store.

On another note I have done 2 other transactions with 2x $100 Visa GC with the same shopper card at the same location and received a $5 off next purchase coupon each time.

A question I have is will I be able to use both these $5 off coupons on one transaction? Or will I have to split the 2 coupons up over 2 transactions? Thanks for any help.

The in-store ad says the variable cards are excluded from this deal. So the next best thing is the $100 Visa/MC.

This deal doesn't scale unless you need a lot of gas/grocery next two months. Or you're in an area where $2off/gallon is allowed.

I did buy a couple of $100 Visas since you earn 4x fuel pts on those as well. The $5 Catalina coupon I received has the expiration date of 4/23 so about 2 weeks from the time of purchase.

Aww, this is too bad
 

When I first read the thread title, I thought something like, "time to go ahead and make my DD an authorized user on my 5% bonus CC".

But, if the variable card doesn't qualify, and the highest GC denomination is $100, um, thatsa not good.

2 x $100 GCs + $11.90 = 211.90 - 5% ($10.60) just to receive a $5 catalina good on future purchase seems like an investment with a paltry result. Unless, of course, you shop at Kroger regularly and they double coupons or something.

Just read previous post about fuel points included. Really? Well, then maybe the result gets a better grade that I first thought.


At least, regular Kroger shoppers can plan their fuel points for the proposed gas cost increase.

I don't know the answer to your question. Seems like it would be nice to have both honored at one time. But, I did want to say:
