In a Cub store today buying 3 GC. Guy three people in front of me is buying $3000. No problems as far as I can see. Floor manager is there making small talk. He see's 30 $10 off coupons come spilling out of register, calls on a walkie talkie upstairs to the store manager. "hey, in that store meeting this morning we talked about an error with coupons for the gift cards. This customer is breaking the bank here, etc. etc…" Store manager: 'the deal is $10 coupon for $100 in gift card spend'. Floor manager- 'Okay, just seems weird. Guy is getting a better deal that this woman who has a winning lotto ticket'.
Two thoughts pertaining to this conversation and this thread: One- Cub foods doesn't pay/train their employees enough for the employees to care about a deal gone south for the store. Two- this deal is very much store specific, 3 of the 5 stores I've visited had either no $20-500 GC or one coupon per GC limits. The other two stores had employees who laughed about how many $10 coupons were printing off.
If Cub foods is weaning off accepting CC for GC purchases its not b/c of this deal. I'll be back tomorrow for more before the deal runs out.

Also, the prior promos, you were able use the self checkout lanes without issues. I assume due to some abuse, the coupon now requires a override by an employee only.

Wow, who knew there were so many FT Neighbors
I can confirm that that Midway Cub has $10 coupons for a $100 gift card. I did not try $200. PITA yesterday, as my plan was to buy an Amazon gift card, get the $10 coupon and do some shopping. Got the gift card, but no coupon came out. I had to go to Customer Service. And I waited, and waited. All for the ten dollars. Swore not to rinse and repeat.
Went back tonight on my way home from work. Another $100/10 deal. Since I am not MSing in the typical sense, there is a limit to how much I want to stock up on Amazon and Holiday gas gift cards.
