Get $15 Overage For Gift and Gas Card at Publix

Are you getting your gas card at Publix this week? I hope so. Soon after we left the Perdido store, my hubby got gas at the Shell station across Mc Donald's. It's $2.75/gallon (only 2 cents more than Wal-Mart). And you can use the promotion on the American Express Gift Card (AMEX) to get another $5 overage... intrigued?

Here's how it works:
First Transaction:
Buy $50 AMEX gift card
Use $10 off $50 AMEX gift card*
*back cover of sales ad or PRINT. Go to the last tab on top of the weekly ad. It says "Coupons" or click from the left side bar.
Pay $40 + $4.95 activation fee

Here is the tricky part:
Second Transaction
Shop for 1 hour 10 minutes (that's how long it takes to activate the card) or shop the next day
Get $25 of groceries & a $50 Shell Gas Card
Use $10 off $50 Gas Card (towards end of sales ad or PRINT)
Use any coupons for your groceries
Use the $50 AMEX card to pay for gas card
Pay the remaining balance, if any, with cash or something else
=$10 overage on gas card to go to grocery item balance

I had some FREE product coupons mailed to me and a raincheck on the Ronzoni Garden Delight, putting my total after coupons to only about $4 plus $40 for the gas card- which all went on the AMEX card!
