Tips & Ideas

BI-LO seems to rarely run gift card deals, or none that are listed in their weekly ad anyway.

I’m a little unclear on a couple of features of this deal. The image used in the weekly ad shows a few different brands which made me think only those brands are eligible. However, it simply says ‘6x points on gift cards’ rather than including the word ‘eligible’ or ‘participating’. That makes me think you might actually earn 6x points on all third party gift cards, although I’m not certain on that.

The terms also exclude variable load Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards, but doesn’t specifically mention fixed value Visa, Mastercard and American Express gift cards. It might therefore be possible to earn 6x points on $25, $50, $100 and $200 cards, but I’m less confident that’ll be the case. Let us know in the comments below though if it does work.

6x points are worth 6% off groceries or gas and so isn’t particularly helpful for reselling. It could be good for personal use though, especially when paying with a credit card that earns more at grocery stores.
