Our Verdict
I’m not sure exactly where to find this, might be app-only. Remember to save the offer first to your card before use. You won’t get fuel points on Visa/MC gift cards. Make sure to use a card that earns at a high rate on grocery store purchases. This version of the offer has worked in the past on the variable-load cards.
Just remember there’ve been issues with Mastercard gift cards which might still be the case.

Posted, thank you
Deal is now dead if you didn’t add it already
Never works for me on variable load cards — only the $100 card triggers the $10 back. (My grocery also has a max of $200 on the variable load cards, which is what I tried. Twice now didn’t work. I won’t make the mistake again.)
bought 4 mcgc & loaded $499 each to card @ WM w/o issue
Just try to buy a 500 card today.The csr ask manager for approval.The manager says variable one is “cash only” …..
find another manager. I have no problem at mine getting them with cards. Also, the CELEBRATE ones didnt trigger the discount. DOHHH!
I tried buying a variable load and the $10 coupon did NOT show up. Didn’t complete the purchase. Went back, got a $100 card, and the $10 discount instantly appeared. Just my experience, you’re welcome to try $500 but I didn’t want to make a fuss. We’ll see plenty of gift card deals with the holidays approaching anyway.
Interesting. Because it clearly states: “When you buy $100 or more in Mastercard gift cards.”
the new ones don’t trigger, use the pink if you want no hassle.

Hopefully someone can confirm. The discount did NOT apply on the new celebration packaging.
I didn’t check if the one was issued by MetaBank. Regular yellow and pink cards still work fine
confirm celebrate does not trigger.
Still out 1,500 from last MCGC fiasco disputed with bh. Not touching this until that resolves.
BAU for variable gc?
Yes
Anybody trying to drain these on Venmo? I can successfully add the card, but then get a transaction declined notice when trying to transfer. Same story on a Safeway VGC purchased during the last deal.
Check your card balance to be sure it was not drained completely along with the transaction decline…that’s what happened to many people with MCGCs recently (not necessarily when liquidating to Venmo, lots of this with buying MOs).
Yeah, card balances on MCGC and VGC are still intact and have been able to use on other transactions without issue.
Venmo route dead for MCGC. Last working transaction I have on my spreadsheet is back from September. It died around sept/oct time. I’m doing this 4 player mode, all family members are able to add to venmo but unable to complete a transaction. My nephew has a legitimate account that’s many years ago with all organic transaction – i had him add a MCGC and it was the same for him. Able to add, but transaction always failed.
I think venmo, as they lose money on each transaction. meta could probably care less, they get paid just the same. If it was meta, paypal would be blocked too but it isn’t.
