Deal Details
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, you may want to print them out for reference when doing the deal.

Right Now, Albertson's family chains are offering a $10 Grocery Voucher on each $50 purchase of select gift cards. No limit but you must buy EACH $50 GC in value in SEPERATE Transactions. (You'll get 3 distinct vouchers on the receipt bottom valid for about 2 weeks. You can use ONE per transaction and must spend it in full, no change. Exclusions like beer/wine/lottery/giftcards, etc)

1. Log into your JUST4U account on Albertsons, ACME, Shaw's, Tom Thumb, etc.

Verify the GC deal in your local ad. Screenshot attached is from ACME in the NE.


2. Go to your Digital coupons panel, GIFT CARDS under 'events'. Clip the 12x Booster on IHOP and 10X Booster on Darden YMMV on having the boosters.

3. At store grab the gift cards you want as above. Can be 1x50 or 2x 25 for EACH transaction. BE SURE TO ENTER YOUR LINKED PHONE NUMBER Each time to ensure your points are credited. THEY MUST BE DARDEN (not Olive Garden), the DARDEN FAMILY of Chains GC and IHOP Stand alone cards. See Darden Scan so you know what to look for.

4. ON $100 worth of IHOP you will earn 2 x $10/10 voucher and 1200 points redeemable for a $20/20 Digital valid to June 30th or no expiration if you are a Fresh Pass member.

5. On $150 worth of DARDEN you will earn 3x $10 Grocery Vouchers and 1500 points valid for a 12K redemption for $20/20 digital coupon AND 300 points towards another grocery offer (produce, bakery, general)

6. Using a Credit Card to pay that earns 3-5% back on GROCERIES earns you another few bucks.

SEE SCANS. If you have any questions, please ask. It's a great deal, just have to be organized and clear on how to pull it off to maximize your return.















4. You can do both chains but would require sep. $50 transactions for whatever you're looking to get.

NOTE:

To save time and gas, the $10 vouchers which print out can be used the SAME VISIT.

However, complete all your Gift Card purchases first.

Then if you want to redeem them you MUST do each $10/10 as it's own transaction. Best to be discreet and just do $10 at a time (don't bring $30 worth of stuff to the register and look to do 3 sep. orders on Mother's Day weekend).

That is an option, you'll have plenty of time to redeem them. Just be careful you put them in a safe place and don't lose them!

Definitely YMMV. Nothing in my area except extra points on select GC's.

Thanks OP, repped! It worked exactly like you said. I purchased 3 Darden gift cards.

My question is, is there a limit on the deal? I didn't really think about it but after getting home I realized I could have gotten more because with $10 grocery + points it comes to ~35% effective discount.

Edit: ~40% with 5% cashback on groceries!

Glad it worked out for you! Enjoy your windfall of free groceries from the GC's.

No, no limit, but you have to temper that with the fact you have to buy each $50 uniquely and the $10 off $10 certs are good only for a short time and you can only use 1x per transaction. Just depends how much time you have and how much food you want to stock up on in that period (and how often you eat at these chains, ie getting $300 or $500 in GC's)

Not sure when the 10x booster on Darden expires, it may have today.

Does anyone have issue with using the coupon? It didn't work for me. I had to go to customer service, then they called support to apply the $10 off. I didn't have any issues last year.
