NOTE: This morning I went to an HEB and was informed there was a newspaper misprint. This is only at HEB PLUS stores.

UPDATES: Apparently it is good at some regular HEB (not just HEB plus) but myself and others have reported some HEB saying it was only at HEB Plus. Call your HEB to find out to save yourself a trip or talk to the manager, not just a teller.

If you buy more than $300 the discount is still only $50, so you have to do multiple transactions of $300 (at one store, I was told you could just check out at any teller, not just the service counter). Some are reporting that it is capped at $1500 maximum purchase. Use with a rewards credit card to increase your discount.

Valid cards include (places where discounts can be hard to come by): Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Best Buy, Lowes, Home Depot.

worth noting that it starts tomorrow, stores open at 6 am. will work great on an item i want at Amazon, thanks OP

no Amazon cards that i saw. anyone see some?

Just bought $300 of Amazon cards here in Houston and got $50 off. I went to the larger HEB but the ad is up at the smaller one near my house as well. Also, as most cards are in denominations of $25 and $50 they add up and the discount applies to the end total (so I had to buy 12 of the gift cards at $25 each, but got the full discount).

Lastly, I did not try to mix cards (one from Amazon, one from Best Buy, etc) to see if it is on the total per store, or the total gift card purchases.

Apparently you can mix cards. I purchased cards for Lowes and PETsMART for a total of $300 and got $50 discount.

Which Houston HEBs were people able to get the Amazon cards at?

the manager said I have to use debit or cash to buy GCs, is that HEB's policy or the store manager's rule?

be able to buy $300 Amazon card with $250 credit card finally, and will buy more tomorrow, this is like 16.7% saving, better than some stocks. I find averagely I spent ~$800 at Amazon, and will plan to buy a kindle soon.

thanks so much OP for sharing such a great deal! jealous some of you guys had PETsMART and some other places my heb didnt. still stocked up on some essentials tho!

Great use of HEB cards, thanks OP. Need new windows for the house.
Original price at Lowes: $4,000
10% off coupon: -$400
$3,600 HEB cards discount: -$600
Energy Tax Credit: -$1,200

Final Cost: $1,800

I have found $100 gc to Amazon at the HEB Plus locations. Much easier to buy than the $50 cards. First time I bought 6 $50 cards, the cashier had to scan all the cards and he did not look very happy doing that. But when the total came up, his eyes popped open. I don't know how you got $50 off, he said. Haha. But I stopped by a HEB Plus and found some $100 Amazon gc and they didn't have to swipe those the way they did the $50 ones. Odd. But I entered one into my account to make sure they were activated and they were.

This is perfect. I wanted to buy $25 Olive Garden gift cards for my co-workers.

I need 30 of them, so this will save me $75 potentially.

Do you think I can get 15 $50 gift cards instead, and then go to Olive Garden and have them break the 15 $50 gift cards into 30 $25 gift cards?

Thanks,

I'm in Sugar Land btw, so I'll check out the Dulles and HWY 6 location.

i just scored two transactions of $250 for 2x$300 of ama7on cards, all in $50 denomination. The HEB plus has the ad plastered all over wherever gift cards are displayed so i was pretty confident it is working great. I used the $400 canon rebate AM3X card to purchase it just fine too.

can someone confirm this expires dec. 7?

We in East Coast are so Jealous! Bah!!

Bump for last day.

Looks like the new add upped the discount, $100 off when you buy $300

just kidding . . . checked the ad ad it is gone. Scored about 4.5K in cards (mostly Amazon). Green
