Does anyone know for sure if you can use the sobeys gift card to purchase other gift cards?
Technically I believe the answer is no. Depending on your cashier some have had success purchasing another GC when purchasing groceries as well in the same transaction.
From website:
Corporate Gift Cards (“Cards”) have no value until activated. Cards are valid at participating stores in Canada. Cards can be used for all in-store purchases except another Corporate Gift Card (grocery, fuel or liquor) or as prohibited by law.
It really depends on the store and Cashier you go to.
I went to one Foodland this morning to purchase 5 gift cards. But I know that particular Cashier I dealt with will not let people put other gift cards with the groceries and pay for them with the Foodland/Sobey's gift card.
So I went to another Foodland right afterwards, purchased $95.16 of groceries and threw in $300 shell gift cards (6 x $50) and paid for them with the Foodland/Sobey's gift cards I had just purchased at the other store location.
I have not had a problem at Sobey's doing that either. I plan to purchase another 5 on my husband's air miles account and convert $450 into Shell cards. That way I'll have $750 for groceries and $750 for Shell. Each payday we take $150 of gas & grocery gift cards from our stock AND put $150 from our gas budget and $150 from our groceries budget back into our savings account, which is where I took the money for the cards.
Ironically I had just finished paying back the money borrowed from savings from the last time the spend $150 get 150 air miles was offered.
