I'm generally of the opinion that when one meets a store employee they think has gone rogue, it's best to simply avoid that employee. Calling corporate, speaking with the manager, or making a pain out of oneself is how MS avenues get shut down.

So the way to really milk earning points on variable VGCs was to stack the $X off your $X purchase offers, and get cash back when you did not spend enough.
The following offers are available each month:
$10 off $10 - 7 rewards
$7 off $7 - 5 rewards
$5 off $5 - 4 rewards
$4 off $4 - 3 rewards
$2 off $2 - 2 rewards
$1 off $1 - 1 rewards
The total comes out to $29, and you need 22 rewards to redeem them all.
The second part comes into play with the department specific offers:
$7 off a $7 in the meat department - 4 rewards
$3 off $3 in the produce department - 2 rewards
To add all these offers you needed a total of 28 rewards.
So what you do is go to the meat department, dig through the meat packages and find one that was as close to $7 as possible, but not below, then go to the produce department and try to get as close to $3 worth of produce, but not below. By doing this, you trigger the $7 off $7 meat offer, and the $3 off $3 produce offer for a total of $10 off. Because the items in the purchase were over $10, it also triggered all of the $X off $X offers, for a total of $29 off. The total value of the money back offers is $39.
The transaction would have $10 worth of items, but $39 worth of credits. So you could get a maximum refund of $29 if you bought exactly $7 of meat and exactly $3 of produce.

Check your J4U account for $5 coupon for any $5+ purchase at any Starbucks located inside a Safeway store. Expires 3/16.

It often doesn't work even when mixed with a few items and they catch on to you trying to buy GC with GC. The stuff at Safeway is super duper overpriced that you are bound to lose money if you exceed 2 or 3 real grocery items. I would never actually buy groceries at Safeway lolol.

Is there any way that one could use a 5 off 50 J4U offer to apply it to a gift card purchase? Perhaps in combination with other small value items? Or for specific gift card types?
I get these 5 off 50 offers across all of my family accounts but they often go unused because we don't typically spend for groceries at Safeway.

Tried to buy an amazon $25 GC today with a safeway GC and transaction was declined. So may be YMMV for some reason.

I realize that, which is why I wondered if combining the GC purchase with other small items would kick in the discount. There are a few reports on this thread of this working, but I am not sure how true they are, or whether they're isolated to certain card types, or specific stores.
