Dollar General's gift card promo stands out for discounted restaurant and gaming cards, including Popeyes, IHOP, Xbox, Lowe's, and sometimes Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops. The deal is tied to a digital coupon in the Dollar General app, and some locations also stack with credit card cash back or military discounts for deeper savings. Availability and payment rules vary by store, with some locations cash only or missing the offer entirely. Popeyes cards also have awkward app payment limits, so keeping the balance topped up helps.

Common Questions (5)

  • Cash-only rules vary by location. Some stores only allow cash for gift card purchases, while others have accepted credit cards for the same sale; a few locations may also be stricter when fraud risk is a concern.

  • Popeyes app checkout uses only one payment method at a time, so a gift card balance cannot be combined with a credit card to cover the remainder. If the balance is short, the card usually needs to be reloaded first.

  • No. The offer is location-dependent, and some stores did not have the sale or the gift cards available at all.

  • The discount is tied to a digital coupon, so the gift cards do not ring up at the sale price without it. Creating a Dollar General account may be required to access the coupon.

  • Yes. The balance in the Popeyes app can be reloaded online, including with another gift card, and the physical card or card number should be kept for future top-ups.

Can you add GC's to the Popeye's app?
yes.....but the problem is that when you get down to a few cents or a $1 or $2 you cannot add a second payment method on the app to use the rest of the gift card.

So it just declines the charge if there isn't enough to cover the purchase even if you have a credit card backup?

yeah. I don't know if declines is the correct term but say you have $1.39 left on your gift card that is stored in your account and you want to make a $2 purchase, you cannot add another payment in the app to cover the difference. It's weird because at a place say like Jersey Mike's when the same thing happens, you can add a second payment option during checkout to cover the difference but not at Popeyes.

sadly a lot of dollar general only allow cash for gift card purchases
Actually had a discussion about it with the clerk last year when I was buying a bunch of Lowe's gift cards to buy a fridge. Apparently thanks to the way the system works at Dollar General for gift cards typically the local store foots the bill for the gift cards if fraud occurs and the gift card provider can't void the cards because of X Y or Z reason. So because of that a lot of the stores have opted to go cash only so that they don't have to deal with the losses which negatively impacts the store's ranking when corporate is looking to close stores.

Has anyone been able to get the Cabelas gift cards for 15% off. My store told me they were not on sale when I went there this morning. I called two other stores and they also told me they were not on sale.

It's a digital coupon. Doesn't ring up at the sale price otherwise.

You need the digital coupon, which I assume means creating a Dollar General account.

I have been running into this since I picked up discounted Popeye's gift cards last Black Friday. Popeye's app forces you to use only 1 payment type. So if you have a gift card balance but not enough to cover your order, you have to reload that gift card to cover the purchase. You can't use the gift card balance plus a credit card to pay for an order. It is pretty adsurd actually. It has to be the only app in the world that processes payments in this manner.

Add Burger King to the list. Same thing there, only one payment method at a time. I still can't figure out why McDonald's won't even let us use gift cards at all in the app!

The Xbox GC can be used to purchase an Xbox correct? And I assume you have to purchase it through Microsoft's website to use those GCs?

Which of the restaurant allows me to deposit those physical cards to my online/app wallet or account? I don't need to worry if I misplace the card.
