Meijer is running a Visa gift card deal in-store this week and they’ve also launched an online version. The online version is particularly interesting because not only does it mean people who don’t live near a Meijer store can take advantage of it, but there seems to be a pricing error which means you can make a $5 profit.
The Deal
- Buy $100 Visa gift cards for $95 from Meijer online.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Expires September 10, 2022 or while supplies last.
- Limit 10.
Quick Thoughts
This deal gives $5 off $100 Visa gift cards. These gift cards ordinarily have a $5.95 purchase fee and so when Meijer has run this deal in the past the net cost has been $100.95.
There seems to have been an error in the way this particular deal is set up though because that $5.95 fee isn’t being charged. As a result, you can buy these $100 Visa gift cards for $95 and so you’re making a $5 profit on each one with the ability to get 10 per order provided they don’t cancel your order for a total profit of $50 before any associated liquidation costs. They’re even providing free trackable shipping, so that makes the deal even better.
Seeing as this appears to be a pricing error, if you’re interested in taking advantage of this deal it’d be worth buying ASAP in case the $5.95 purchase fee gets added back on as it makes this a less interesting deal.
Note that payment is processed by Blackhawk Network and so it won’t code as a grocery purchase.

Anyone know how long these take to ship? It’s been a week and shipping status still shows pending.
they arrived today. Meijer never updated the tracking info on the website order .
Mine arrived today but appear not loaded? I can’t balance track. Do these need to be activated? MY first meijers purchase.
With these deals processed by BHN, I think they might send a separate thing in the mail with activation details. I’m not certain about that though, so it might be worth calling them to check.
Circling back… Trying to register online did not work, but calling the number on the back did. I only needed to input card number exp date and sec code, and they were activated. Having to do this manually by phone for all 10 $100 vgc seems like a huge time sink and I will not repeat this if the deal comes up again though. Maybe there is a better way? I multitasked, but still a chore.
Same here. Cards came with a sticker saying they were activated but they were not. No way to activate online. Had to do them over the phone one card at a time. had to hang up after each card and call again since it doesn’t let you do multiple. Called and spoke to 3 reps who were useless and put me on hold and then transfered me only to put me back in the automated system. Basically as RabbMD said it was a total waste of time and I would not do it again if I knew it was this time consuming.
Same issue. Same painful process. Worlds most slow irritating voice system
looks like it’s dead now–the $5.95 fee is added in at checkout.
Thanks – I’ve marked it as expired.
Awesom find – picked up 10 for the $50 savings. Order just confirmed.
Do you have to complete the 10 within 1 transaction?
For future reference, I did the 10 in 2 transactions.
Thanks. Good for future reference.
Awesome find, thanks!
I am torn on these as I always seem to be working on an Amex 10x and not willing to risk it, and with liquidation costing more on $100 gift cards, but seems crazy to give up 5% cash…
Does it track as an online purchase (BoA)
Thanks! Lovin this deal!
Thanks for passing this on. Worked fine for me for 5. Good prep for Christmas
