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

Bad News - Incomm’s fraud detection is more aggressive than Blackhawk’s. The store got two phone calls right after the purchase ($2k). So, cut back or else we will eventually be cut off.

Just an FYI…..Safeway gets L3 data for ALL cc transactions. There security dept is VERY vigilant..They know exactly what you bought..thus the immediate phone calls to store after your large purchase of VGC. Has happened to me many times at my go to store with very amenable store manager who let me buy thousands in VGC over course of 2019-2021. Security dept finally told her to cut me off. No great loss to me tho. You will be cut off at Safeway eventually with large purchases so don’t over do it.
Another point is that CVS and Kroger doesn’t get L3 data so is very easy to stay under the radar there.

CC companies get L3 data, not stores. Of course each store knows what you're purchasing.

That's what I was referring to, coinciding with the (real) death of Metas. I guess it really is a case of "when one door closes, another opens"

Who knows, but for now it's the most efficient option since I can buy 4k+ at many of my Safeways. Economies of scale and time will make up for higher fees since Simons are out for me.

Is there any specific thread regarding SS card in the forum where I can learn about it? I am not newbie but I never heard of SS card or use them. I always order SMGC online or buy GC at grocery store or OD/Staples. What is so special about SS card? Thanks everyone.

SS cards work (for the time being) whereas SMGCs are now almost functionless for MS activity.
