Dollar General's gift card promo is strongest for Xbox and select restaurant cards, with 20 percent off Xbox Game Pass cards and discounts on brands like Cracker Barrel, Cabela's, Bass Pro, Domino's, Burger King, Panera, and LongHorn. The ad is confusing, though, because the picture shows Game Pass Core while the text points to Game Pass Ultimate, and the $10 off two $25 cards offer appears limited to one transaction. Store policy also varies, since some locations only accept cash for gift cards. A practical pick if the right card is in stock and your store allows card payments.
The ad includes 20% off Cracker Barrel and other restaurant gift cards on the last page.
The ad includes 15% off Cabela's and Bass Pro gift cards on the last page.
Some Dollar General stores accept credit cards for gift card purchases, which can simplify checkout.
Xbox account balance caps at $1,000, which can help plan how much to load with gift cards.
Some Dollar General stores only accept cash for gift card purchases, so payment method can vary by location.
The $10 off 2 of $25 each offer appears limited to one transaction per flyer, which can restrict stacking.
The ad image and text create uncertainty because the picture shows Game Pass Core while the text mentions Game Pass Ultimate.
Gift card purchases can carry fraud and chargeback risk, and store acceptance of credit cards can vary by location.

- Fraud Prevention: Gift cards, especially general-purpose ones like Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards, are a common target for scammers who use stolen credit or debit cards to quickly purchase the gift cards and then deplete the balance before the fraudulent transaction can be caught and reversed.
- Chargebacks: When a stolen card is used, the legitimate cardholder reports the fraud, and their bank "charges back" the transaction. Since the funds on the gift card are usually spent immediately, the store (Dollar General) is often left responsible for the loss, as they cannot recover the money from the now-spent gift card.
But, it does vary by store. I have some stores near me that accept credit cards and some don't for gift cards.Few days ago Tom Brady's card shop in NYC got robbed of over $10,000 using a manual key entry scam. For that kind of money, they should have checked ID and credit card matches. Why stores don't do the very simple thing to make things easier for themselves and customers just baffles me. It only takes a few seconds to do a simple check. The chip reader was designed to be secure in POS, it was never meant to prevent thieves from getting a card and shopping everywhere.
That's why it's necessary to safeguard customers and the DG brand from becoming a negative business to shop at. If people associate DG with shady business practices, then that will hurt consumer minds of the business. Simply asking customers to pay in cash for certain stuff isn't a problem and customers will know ahead of time if they're loyal & honest customers to bring cash. This will spread to the unwanted customers that buying GCs with stolen CCs isn't going to be easy and isn't wanted at DG.
All that takes place and doesn't slow down the buy process or the que of people waiting to check-out. (Although cashiers counting money these days is something we may have to help aid with their math skills to get the correct amount back. š)
What combination of these cards would I need to buy for them to have one year of online service each?
They literally only play fortnight and maybe some form of halo. If there's one with fewer bells and whistles that's better for them.
Sorry I'm a Playstation guy and I only ever need to know this once a year.

I stock up on cards that do not get any cheaper elsewhere, like Longhorn
But yeah, the DG ad has been kind of a disaster. On top of only showing Core in the picture as you mentioned, the ad that was originally leaked said the Xbox cards were going to be 50% off. That was a typo/misprint of course, but I'm sure it got some people's hopes up.
Don't know how great a deal $24 a month is for XBL Ultimate. There have been cheaper deals recently. Unless they have a bunch of old stock laying around at the old price. Then that could be a better deal.
