So I just discovered that Safeway accepts GC>GC. Amazon sells Safeway GCs. Amazon also accepts GC>GC (except for Visa and Amazon GCs). Safeway sells Disney and pretty much all other GCs at their Gift Card Mall rack. A lot of the GCs at Safeway are in tamper proof sleeves that require you to rip off a perforated window to scan the barcode using the tabletop scanner. I successfully used two Safeway GCs toward a third-party GC at self-checkout, so their POS system does accept it. However, I have noticed that some stores have signs up saying no GCs at self-checkout.
I haven't figured out how to derive any additional benefit from this information, but I figured I'd put it out there. If it's of use to you, great! And please share how!
My Safeway won't allow gift card purchases at self-checkout but I've had no trouble buying 3rd party gift cards at the registers with Safeway cards. Occasionally they run a promotion at the pharmacy, i.e. fill five prescriptions, get a $50 Safeway gift card. I've turned those into Disney. But, like you, I can't come up with any way to get a significant payout. The only thing I can think of is cycling them between Amazon and Safeway to get the gas rewards. But since I only fill up twice a month, and only 10 gallons per fill-up, that means a maximum of $20 savings per month for me. Maybe someone else will be able to chime in with an idea.
