When redeeming the coupon, the following items are excluded in the calculation of the minimum spend requirement:

-Blunts, alcohol, and smokes
-Gift cards, Lottery tickets, MoneyGram, etc

Can you typically combine these in a single purchase?

In my j4u it doesn't say anything about variables, but it also didn't last time when they ran this promo and it didn't work for variables for me.

I’ve never had luck on the variables for use of coupons or gas points. I’m intrigued by the deal for the Univision prepaid card: $3.95 purchase fee with $2 off per transaction. Can be loaded up to $500. Looks like it’s a Bancorp Bank (I think), so that means recycling might be a little bit tougher.

There is a separate thread on this: Univision Prepaid Mastercard from Safeway/Vons without a lot of recent posts. I can't offer any further guidance, since I have not bought a Univision card since the "good old days" (probably four or more years ago) when they earned gas points, had lower fees than regular variable VGC/MCGC, and could be loaded to Bluebird/Serve.

Yes, Since these are separate promotions, and you add them to your card separately.

Do not buy these because you will be hit with a$5.95 monthly fee as soon as you are done activating the card.Hence the final cost of the first $500 load on this card will be $5.95 + $2.95 - $2 (promo discount) = $6.95 which in my opinion is pretty steep.

Anyone having issues with the coupon not working? 2 of the 3 accounts I tried this morning would not take off the $15.

Thank you for the head's up. I hadn't actually located a physical Univision card yet, but this saves me wasting time trying to mess around with a non-worthwhile card. Too bad the fee hits as soon as you load it...

arent the 20 - 500s $5.95? and if you can reload them with the $3.95 reload cards and do a few grand a month of reloading youd end up ahead then if paying $5.95. SM is better at $3.95 but for most CCs its a 1x when supermkts on various CCs earns more then 1x so its cheaper then SM in the end Advantage to SM is Ive yet to find any supermkt that will sell me say $9500 in 1 transaction or even multi at the same time

For some folks its saving the $$ thats important for others its the time, theres no right or wrong
