Today and tomorrow 5/13-5/14 Meijer has 10% off select gift cards, max discount of $50.
Is there any benefit or detriment to using gift cards to pay on my balance well before the October due date? If we pay now and have to cancel, how does the refund work?
Is Meijer actually giving 10% off the price of the card, or are they giving you 10% in rewards to spend at Meijer? (Usually it is the latter.)
In any case, if you pay with a gift card, they would refund to the gift card I imagine. So only buy the gift cards if you know you are going to actually use them eventually!
Interesting! I have to think if there is any value in me doing that! Thanks for the heads up.
In my case, I already have a lot of money in Disney Visa rewards, so I don’t want to over buy gift cards to save some money. The again, it would come to 11% for, since I could buy them on my Disney Visa and get the 1% reward. (Maybe 2% if Meijer is considered a grocery store to them.)
Did some calculations, and just can’t justify taking advantage of this. We have enough rewards to pay for the Christmas party and most of our food…and we are driving down, so out of luck with the flying idea.
Oh well…still, it is a great savings I hope others can take advantage of.
I think we hit our limit with two cards, but the thought of creating a third and fourth mperks account is tempting. Hopefully they run the promotion again soon.
I don’t have a Meijer account at all and was able to purchase through guest checkout on the website. They are physical gift cards coming in the mail but $500 worth only cost me $450. Discount was applied instantly in the online shopping cart.
Did this as well as a guest with no issues! 50 bucks saved. And I hit the limit per customer but I bet if I put in my husbands email I could but another 500 worth without issue.
