You know how when you go to Bloomingdale's or Nordstrom's it just smells good and feels comfortable. Dollar General is the exact opposite of that
Dollar General in my area wouldn't honor the ad. YMMV, best to call before going there.

Quote from everica1 :
Story time...I bought Xbox giftcards from Costco last month to get 10% off an XSX that I ordered from Microsoft's website. I thought it would be easy like most everyone says. I was wrong.

I had $600 in credit and I told them I wanted to pay the remaining with my credit card. They ended up charging $600 to my paypal instead and then $11 to my cc. I wouldn't have even caught it right away had it not been for my fraud alert from my cc company. It was crazy that they charged my paypal account even though I didn't authorize it. I canceled the order and tried to put in another order. It just sent me to another web page and told me to contact customer support. Basically they locked down my account as being a fraud (like it is suspect that someone would purchase Xbox hardware using gift cards even though they advertise that you can) and they also flagged me as having already purchased an Xbox even though I canceled the first one due to their issue. Anyways, it took me 4 days, 3 phone calls, 1 chat (a little over 2 hours of my time, and several days worrying about the $600 of my money they had) to get everyone fixed so that I could actually order my Xbox. It went from being a fun thing to buy to just pure regret.

I was so scared this was going to happen to me when I bought a Series S with Ms store gift cards. There's a ton of horror stories like this on reddit. So I removed my paypal acct so there would be no issues and tried purchasing with my gift card balance but the system kept giving me an error. Talked to chat and they were able to submit the order for me. Turns out you need a payment method for taxes as you can't use gift cards to pay tax.

Stores near me told me the discount will only come off(automatically in computer) if the gift card is purchased separately from anything else and 1 at a time. I bought 3 and had to do 3 transactions. YMMV but they said the computer has a limit of 1 discounted gift card per transaction.

I guess the guy at the register has something against honoring ads, I don't know, I couldn't get the discount seriously.

That's why I lay my Glock on the counter before I pull out my wallet. Never have a problem.

Insane lol. I just checked the DG near my job and they would only sell gift cards cash only, no debit. At that point I figured the extra $5 wasn't worth the hassle of going to get cash/paying ATM fees from some bank that wasn't my own, so I went back to the office and ordered a $100 card for $90 from Costco instead.

Oh yeah, like how K-Mart used to make me feel.

With its general cheapness, white trashiness, and yellow signage, Dollar General strikes me as the Waffle House of retail. I'm surprised there aren't more fist fights.
