Update: I’d originally listed this deal as requiring that you buy a $25 gift card as I thought I’d seen that on the ad or on the digital coupon. However, as AM has pointed out in the comments, there isn’t a $25 minimum spend required which means buying a $15 gift card will be possible for some of these brands which makes it an even better deal.

Tips & Ideas
This deal isn’t quite as good as it might initially seem because it doesn’t provide a 20% instant discount on a $25 gift card for brands like Netflix, Under Armour, etc. Instead, you get a digital coupon good for $5 off a future purchase which means you’ll have to go back to Dollar General at some point to redeem it for merchandise in-store; I’m assuming it won’t be valid on a future gift card purchase, but maybe it’ll work.
Note that there are two digital coupons. That might not have been intended by Dollar General, so perhaps you’ll get two $5 coupon when buying only one gift card.
With past gift card deals at Dollar General where you’ve had to use a digital coupon, there’s been a limit of one per account. The weekly ad lists this as having a limit of ‘one offer per transaction’ which might mean you can do the deal more than once.
If there is a limit of one per account, that makes the deal harder to scale because Dollar General requires unique phone numbers when creating accounts and things like Google Voice numbers haven’t worked in the past.
Why do you say this requires a $25 purchase? The offer just says to buy a card and there are multiple that start as low as $15.
Looking at the ad itself, there is no mention of $25.
That’s a great point. For some reason I’d thought it mentioned a minimum of $25 but it doesn’t, so I’ve updated the post.
Can the $5 dollar general credit be used to buy another gift card?
not a fan of their merchandise. But a huge fan of their Gc deals when they have them!
I doubt it’ll be useable on a gift card, but maybe.
Made a purchase 2 days ago, it tracked but I still don’t have the coupon in my wallet yet.
Thank you for sharing hoping I get my $5 digital coupon in my account
Finally received my digital coupon. Just bought another Netflix card and it took off the $5. Hoping to repeat this since the other coupon still in my wallet.
That was annoying. I bought a McD card then got my $5 coupon. It didn’t work on a regular purchase, but it did work on another McD card.
How do you get this to work? I have both coupons added to my wallet and I bought a $20 Netflix gift card but never received $5 in my account.
