The Deal
- Buy $100 Visa gift cards from Meijer online & get $5 off.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Expires September 10, 2022.
- Limit 10.
Tips & Ideas
These $100 Visa gift cards normally have a purchase fee of $5.95, so the $5 discount would ordinarily mean you have to pay a net fee of $0.95. However, Blackhawk Network (who powers the site) have seemingly inadvertently not included the purchase fee for this particular card listing and so you’re able to buy $100 gift cards for $95. There’s free trackable shipping, so that won’t add any other cost to your order.
Note that payment is processed by Blackhawk Network and so it won’t code as a grocery purchase. If you live in Meijer-land, they have an in-store Visa gift card deal that will be profitable.

I suppose the limit is technically 9 since you can’t buy more than $1K/day and with the fees it’s over $1000 if you try to purchase 10 at once
Do you know if this will code as an online purchase for the BOA custom cash rewards card?
unsure about meijer specifically but other BHN processed gift cards I’ve bought online have not counted for the 3% online shopping category. When asked, BoA blames the vendor for using the wrong merchant code.
Will this get flagged by amex as a gift card purchase? They don’t seem to like that for meeting min spend.
I’d personally be willing to risk it as Amex isn’t quite as sensitive to gift card purchases as it might seem. Having said that, it depends on your risk tolerance and how easy it would be for you to meet the minimum spend without taking advantage of this deal.
$5.95 Fee/Card is back 🙁
Thanks for the heads up – I’ve updated the post.
I bought this 10 days ago and still hasn’t shipped. Is this company legit?
They definitely are legit – Blackhawk Network is a big name in the gift card world. Based on a comment someone left on the Frequent Miler post about this deal, it sounds like they might be shipping the cards without updating the status, so hopefully they’re already on their way to you https://frequentmiler.com/meijer-online-buy-100-visa-gift-cards-for-95-limit-10/#comment-2351072
I received my 9 in the mail, it said they are activated but they are not. I had to call in to activate the 1st. An annoying process. Any1 know how to activate the remaining 8 quickly/easily? TYIA
