No gift card specials at all now for a while, not even crappy ones like the Xbox ones ... Any seasoned ft'ers know if a drought like this is normal at the beginning of the new year? I've been spoiled last November and December, I guess?

I think it’s because it’s the beginning of the year, so they’re not in a rush to fill any GC quotas and make GC sales.

Atleast ACME had 5X on all purchases (including VGC and MCGC variables) 2 weeks back.

Normal drought first few months of new year. I still have some December inventory I am slowly unloading. Take a vacation!

Holidays are over, I'm ready to rock and roll! But seriously, historically speaking, when do the Von's / Safeway VGC offers come around usually? I've got a lot of credit line burning holes in my pocket ...

Go look back through the last mega thread.

2017 had nothing until early March. I didnt look at 2016, but Safeway had removed variables around the beginning of the year due to the POS/Chip changeover, so maybe that's not a good indicator.

I can't get mad at vons as long as they keep showering me in j4u free pizza, yogurt, and bread offers! 😀

Does anyone know if buying Chevron GCs at Vons/Safeway counts towards gas rewards? Thanks!

You should get 2x fuel rewards for those.

Thanks for the reply! I was reading the T&C and it says Chevron GCs don't count, but I'll be the DP I want to see!

I bought the variable chevron GC (25-200) and I received gas rewards.

Amazon GC gave 2x at Safeway. Hyatt CC giving $30 rebate on $300 at grocery stores.
Net $30 and 600 FR, not bad.
