This H-E-B promo pairs a $100 MasterCard, Visa, or American Express gift card with a free $20 H-E-B gift card, and the main draw is the extra value on prepaid spend. The cards can be easier to find at $6.95 fee in some stores, though others still show $7.95. Redemption is the bigger catch, since these prepaid cards are hard to register for online use and often fail at tipping merchants or some checkout systems. Self-checkout also appears store specific, so cashier lanes may be smoother for multiple cards.
Some stores carry Vanilla $100 cards with a $6.95 fee instead of $7.95.
Credit card cashback can largely offset the gift-card purchase fees because H-E-B is in the grocery category.
Cashier checkout can avoid self-checkout manager-approval prompts when buying multiple $100 cards.
Self-checkout can process gift cards, and debit card payment can work even when Discover credit card is blocked.
Discover credit card payments can be blocked at self-checkout, even when the gift cards themselves scan.
Vanilla prepaid gift cards can be a hassle to redeem because many online vendors will not accept unregistered cards.
Coupon redemption can fail at certain locations when the app scan does not apply the discount at checkout.
Self-checkout can trigger a red alert for manager approval based on the accumulated total shown on-screen.

Were you trying to buy more than one $100 card? Go to cashier checkout. So many of us used Discover card to pay successfully. Here is from the original post:
Self-checkout will flag for manager's approval if the gift card amount exceeds $212. It is actually faster to use cashier checkout. No manager's approval is required at cashier checkout.
I personally paid my purchase of 3 cards using Discover card at cashier checkout. Tried self-checkout first but got a red alert for manager's approval. An employee came over and asked me to use cashier checkout instead.
I am aware that each store can program its own self-checkout restriction. Last November when HEB offered the same deal, I went into a different HEB store that I don't usually go. I split my purchase into 2 transactions. But even in the transaction with just one $100 card at self-checkout, a red alert for manager's approval popped up. An employee told me that all non-store gift cards sold at self-checkout regardless of the amount need manager's approval at that store. She advised me to use cashier checkout.
When they don't understand what's happening, they tell you to go to a regular lane. The sign they usually have up near self-checkout clearly says you can do gift cards there.

probably a store specific thing.
