This is the thread for 2018. The old thread is here.

=======================
xx/xx/15 - xx/xx/15 Promotion

Participating items must be purchased in a single transaction. Limit one(1) offer per transaction

These coupons often do not scan properly(coming up -0.01 along with a 0.01) and require override. Override is always required at SCO.

If the coupon off your next order does not print out, you can request it online here.

When redeeming the coupon, the following items are excluded in the calculation of the minimum spend requirement:
-Fluid dairy such as Milk, Half & Half, etc
-Blunts, alcohol, and smokes
-Gift cards, Lottery tickets, MoneyGram, etc
-Taxes

Any purchases to trigger these coupons?

Enlighten us pls.
You can get automatically targeted for any of these, but you will only be targeted for one coupon per account per week. The region swapping tricks or manual account loading trick will all you to add additional. Otherwise, you can also just add at SCO. This allows you to triple dip all coupons. Multiple transactions using the same j4u account are allowed so if you're using the $ off amount on GCs you can collect the rewards points all on a single account if preferred.

Are you saying if you have a free item coupon you can buy Qty 3 of them in a transaction?

You can add multiple versions of the same coupon and all will trigger but max of 3 will actually be taken off when you click Finish & Pay even though they were originally displayed on the itemized screen. Also note that the SCO will make an audible chime when transaction activates a gc, even if the machine is on mute. You can only add coupons online to an account once per week, but if you manually load at SCO you can keep using the same j4u account over and over. I prefer stores with the newer SCO machine that have the handheld scanner. You can scan the codes in with that and save yourself some typing because I've made mistakes typing them in. Check the last page and if a coupon didn't apply, you can always go back from the final screen to and try adding the coupon again and that works.

I don't see any codes or anything that can be scanned for these offers. Where do you find those?

You have to make your own. The scanner reads qr codes or most basic machine readable optical labels. Otherwise type in the code yourself...

I don't understand. The J4U offers in my account only have a SELECT button to click on. There's no code for any offer. What am I missing?

I believe there are codes that can be scanned when a J4U offer doesn't automatically come off. Happened once with me when I had redeemed points for an offer too soon before the transaction. CS had some list of codes they could scan to make the offers come off. It's starting to sound like he obtained some of the codes and is using them even though they weren't issued to him. Other than some $1 off Produce, yogurt, frozen, or similar and a $5 off $50, I have yet to receive anything good in the targeted department.

Some stores (particularly the flagship stores) will sometimes have signs near the items that say "Scan this bar code in the app to add this deal to your account" and sometimes if you get a store where they're really pushing the program (aka a newly opened store) they may have signs all over the store with a bar code that says "Scan this bar code in the app to add all of the deals for this week to your account!" I've only seen these signs once at a flagship store.

No, there's one or two codes that they can punch in to deduct the discount, but it is done as a customer service gesture as it is a direct cost to the store (some deals are vendor backed/sponsored, some deals are manufacturer's coupons, and some are store coupons which are a direct cost to the store anyway).

Could you attach an image of a code that you can scan for such an offer? I still don't get it. I know how to make bar codes and have software to do it, but I don't understand what information would go into such a bar code to do what you say is possible to do at the SCO.

Can you give an example of a specific code for a J4U in your account that you can type into the SCO to add it to your account? What do you do at the SCO to enable entry of such a code?

I tried using my safeway rewards at an Exxon across the country but it didn't seem to work. Can anyone confirm if they are able to use these rewards at any other location?

It's regional. Here in LA the partner is Chevron Texaco while most of the East Coast partners with Exxon Mobil. You can search for participating stations in the area you're trying to fill up at here https://local.safeway.com/search.html

In addition to this, not all stations of a particular brand in any area may participiate due to having older/different pumps that aren't compatible with the program.

J4U promotes Happy GCs seemingly every week, which would be lucrative if they work. Curious if anyone has had positive experiences with them.

They work fine at the stores named on the cards for making purchases. They're basically Visa cards restricted to certain stores, so you have to tell the cashiers to run them as credit cards and not as gift cards (which some cashiers refuse to do or don't understand how to do). Of course, they're not going to work to buy money orders or do bill payments at Wal-Mart.
