Not sure exactly when this happened as I haven’t been paying attention (and as Joe mentioned, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one of these offers, so I haven’t had a reason to look), but today I discovered the display my store had up by the customer service area has been removed. There’s now a small, vertical stand with prepaid debit cards in its place (Netspend cards or something, didn’t pay close attention again). I don’t know if they simply moved it elsewhere (but I doubt it), so now the only gift card display is the one in the cards & party section of the store.
Some stores have moved gift cards behind the customer service desk. Might be worth asking there.
I had that thought, too. But as I mentioned, the display in the party area remains. I was just a little bummed because I couldn’t recall if the other display had had any cards with the $5.95 fee or not, as the lowest fee on the still-available display is $6.95. (Not really like I could ask customer service to wade through what they might have to find one—well, I could, but, at the very least, it’d be awkward.)
I shared the same frustration. It was very easy to do this deal. My store also removed the gift card rack in the customer service area. I found only a small selection of gift cards by the cashier checkout lanes, but I couldn’t find any VGC or MGC there.
It’s back at a $150 minimum, Will, but the title still says $100.
Fixed, thanks
Can this be done multiple times on one account? I haven’t tried it in maybe 2 years since I read a single DP that you couldn’t 🙁
Need to make many Mperks accounts. Gmail a good way as you can use “dot” in email to send to same email.
HOWEVER – Tested today and failed many tries so may be another week where the promo did not load correctly so YMMV!
It worked for me yesterday on the variable Visa card – black packaging
Feels like freaking forever since we had this
Back this week

Great timing for finishing up Freedom Q1.
Deal is back.
$10 off $150 VGC coupon, expires 3/22.
Was excited until I realized it was an extension only.
yeah, same here.
Looks like the coupon got extended until the 28th at least for me. I had the offer coupon already clipped but didn’t buy one this time.
So I didn’t take note of the details with this one–the $100+ vs. $150+ requirement, the three-week availability period vs. the usual one week–because I was just happy to see it wasn’t a repeat of the recent variation where you get $10 back in mPerks rewards points. But neither fact matters. What I did find interesting is that it’s actually for either Visa or Mastercard gift cards, rather than just Visa, and that I successfully used it twice in the same account. I bought a card on 12/6 and then another the next day; thinking that I’d used a family member’s account the previous day, I used my own account on the 7th–but it turns out I’d used my own mPerks account both days. And both days I received the $10 discount.
$10 back on mperks points could potentially be worth $30 back if you use it to get $1 off per gallon at meijer gas.
Yes, I’m aware, that’s typically how I redeem my points. (Though I don’t maximize the discount because I don’t need that much gas.) But I prefer getting the instant discount on these GC purchases because I roll over my GC purchases (buy a new one with an old one to further the discount).
Amy, can you clarify: were you able to use it on separate days for two visa cards? Or 1 Visa and 1 MC?
I saw it get applied on two separate days, 12/6 and then 12/7, and both were purchases of Visa GCs. (As I mentioned, I got mixed up remembering with what account I’d already used the coupon, and only afterward discovered both purchases used my account AND received the coupon discount.)
Thanks! This worked for me as well.
any one has issues with using these cards? When I swipe the card at a merchant it’s not recognizing these cards. I bought 3 cards and all of them exhibit the same behavior
I just had my Meijer GC fraudulently used. they zero’d it out, i bought it in store 12-1
Same here. Bought on 12/7, it was drained via an Apple Store purchase on 12/18. Only saw the fraudulent transaction tonight.
Not sure how the card was compromised. Physically it wasn’t tampered, and I hadn’t used it anywhere yet. IIRC only checked balance once or twice, and I always copy/paste the URL on the back of the card from a spreadsheet where I keep track of these kinds of things.
Called and started the dispute process. First time for everything, I guess.
Same here. I just got notification I won the dispute. But this was a first for me too.
First for me too. Won dispute as well. Glad it worked for you too.
I was growing a bit concerned since the original email said there would be an update every ten days, but it had been over two weeks without hearing anything from the original submission on 12/25. Thankfully I received an email today that I won the dispute case and a new card is on the way.
Turned out it was probably because it was from an old 5.95 batch, at least that was the theory. Either way, they replaced it.
Thank you. Called them and ordered the replacement cards. It never happened in the past with the pathward cards. Not sure what changed off late. The ones I have is the 6.95 batch only.
