Just so people know bed bath beyond is going out of business so no reason to buy their gift card.

Gelsons sells all the standard gift cards. Visa/MC, Gasoline, Amazon, Target.

They also allow you to split payment between different cards. So you could buy a $100 Visa GC and split 50/50 between 2 amex cards and get $30 credit. I did this the last time there was an Amex offer so it works.

My Hilton Amex has this offer… but only a one-time statement credit of $5 back on a $50 purchase. Don't know why mine is so little this time …. Maybe because I took advantage of this offer every time it came around in past years?

How did you add the same offer to two different amex cards?

I tried and got an error. Amex customer support said offers are good for the first card you add them too

Good to know that you can split. I have it on 4 cards, can do this 12 times. This method will save some visa gc fees.

The Gelson voucher is quite useless because I couldn't find anything to buy last year when they had this promo.

I added on my wife's card and my own card. Offers are limited to 1 per unique SSN.

I went to the Gelson's today to purchase the gift cards. Then I saw that they have a promo from 5/10 to 5/16 where you get a $10 grocery voucher for every $50 you buy in GCs. So I will go back next week to take advantage of the stacked deals.

$15 Amex Credit plus $10 grocery voucher x 3 is pretty slick.

The cashier couldn't figure out how to do split payments on the visa gift cards, which would have saved a ton on fees. Ended up getting enough starbucks for the rest of the year.
