Get $10 Catalina Coupon at Safeway WYB $100+ in Visa/MC GC's

safeway is offering a $10 off $10 Catalina coupon when you buy $100 or more in Visa or MasterCard GC's. Valid 9/12/2012-10/9/2012. One coupon per transaction. Should work on GC's with a fixed amount or on the variable amount cards ($25-$500). If you have a credit card that offers 5% Cash Back from supermarkets, then it's best to load as much as possible onto the GC ($5.95 activation fee for the card) and then use the GC at stores that you don't normally get 5% at.

Do you have any links for the promo? Do they have links for all the gift cards? I want to buy Shell GC.

I think you only get the $10 OYNO on the GC's listed in the OP (Visa/Master Card prepaids). It doesn't sound like Shell or restaurant/dept store type cards are part of the deal, maybe I'm wrong, but safeway left this area of the country so I no longer get the ads to look at. Maybe someone else can verify it's just Visa/MC type cards and not general GC's.

I just bought a card and used the coupon right away. Activation fee is $5.95 for either $100 or $20-$500 card. You have 2 weeks to use the coupon.

The Shell near me have lower price for cash/GC. I have Chase rewards, but they are not offering 5% back from Grocery now


My Ralphs 300 points expires 10/31/12. Does anyone know if I don't use all the points, does it roll over or I loose them?

The points are reset to 0 the first of each month, so you will lose them. In the past they only reset quarterly, but now they reset monthly.

To answer my own question, got another coupon today for Visa, automatically.

Did you get gas rewards for the one that did not print the coupon?

I got another Catalina today (bought a Visa). Deal is still going on. The one time I didn't get the Catalina was when I think I bought the Visa/MC in the same transaction in which I redeemed one of the $10 Catalinas. So maybe it doesn't roll. I've been successful when buying the Visa/MC in a separate transaction from anything else. Not sure if my theory is correct or not, though.
