you could certainly buy the fourth card for $480 or so but I prefer to make all mine $500 to make things easier to track...but luckily no one around here has enforced the cap yet anyway (knock on wood).

Went to a different KR today, and tried my troubled cards again. All is well.

Also, for those who might not know, Starbucks cards are included in the restaurant category and are 4x eligible.

i liked it better when there was a thread just for when kroger runs their coupons on the purchase of VGC's instead of this catch-all "Master Thread".

now, every time this never ending discussion on limits bumps the thread, i have to click to see if someone posted a new coupon deal i missed. i'm guessing i'm not the only one.

Just to confirm the $100 visas only got me 2x fuel points on this promo for those wondering. Bummer.

Well that makes two.

I much preferred when this master thread was a promo specific thread that had a thread title referencing a promo that was 18 months ago. That was much, much better.

Cash only
 
The manager at the ralphs that has always been my goto store brought out a memo stating cash only. I didn't get a chance to read it myself but I was not allowed to buy any visa gc. Terrible day.

Went to two Ralphs today. One told me cash only for everything and brought out a pink memo. The other said cash only for more than $2000. She let me buy $2,000 in GC value even though the total with fees exceeded that.

I made it to a different ralphs and after much discussion about the "change" they interpreted it as $2000 or less is ok with credit card and over 2k is cash only. I would guess they are correct and the other store(s) are mis-interpreting the memo since the cash register allowed it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh boy you had me here with your 1st post! Since my PP warning email I'm going full throttle on Ralph's VGC...

Which store was this?

Do we get 1X fuel rewards for the $500 variable load Visa/MC?

Yeah, I got that bad news at my go-to Kroger the other day. I don't understand why some are 2k and others are no CC allowed at all. And yes, it was a very bad day for me, too.

IME variable load Visa, MC or AMEX no longer earn any fuel rewards. When they ring up on the computer there is a 'NP' next to the item. Meaning 'No Points'
