Publix: New Kraft Exxon/Mobil Gift Card Offer 7/7 - 7/27/08

[veena]

Anybody.....?.......I am so confused....any help at all??...pretty please???

I am still trying to get clarity with all these coupons and Bogo's, but after closely studying the various scenarios from this thread - I think i finally have a plan...please tell me if this would work - I really would like to get to do this offer....:)
I have 7 of the OM coupons and can really use the hotdogs. I am in FL where bogo's ring up as 2 regular items with a third line item showing the subtraction.

So here goes:

I am so irritated to hear that the requirement is $150 AFTER coupons...I have an email into them as well b/c the form states that you must buy $50 WORTH of groceries. Now I am not a lawyer or anything ...but the term WORTH is a bit ambiguous! In my mind --if my pre-coupon total is $50 then I have $50 WORTH of groceries in a bag ready to go to my house---regardless of whether I use coupons or not!!!! Due to the fact that manufacturers reimburse Publix for the coupons --they are being paid $50 for my transaction...so again I am still taking home $50 WORTH of groceries no matter how you spin it!!!

I am hoping this may be a little loophole...not holding my breath though!!

You make a very very very valid point in my opinion. Hopefully you'll get a good response!

Just incase anyone else was wondering, the Planters nuts, which we got BOGO at Publix this past week do qualify for the gas card.

"planters nuts are accepted. Thank you for your email. Have a
great day"

My thought on this is that the deal is a Kraft deal as well as a Publix deal. While Publix is getting reimbursed for all of our coupons...Kraft is the one reimbursing. So if any part of that $10 gas card is coming out of Kraft's pocket they don't want our $50 being Kraft products that they are reimbursing Publix for. Make sense?? It does in my little head.

Well, I'm no pro - especially considering that I just asked for help myself. However, from the approval I got on my scenario, I'd say yours is correct.

ETA: I thought I had an answer about the mayo Qs, but now that I read over a different scenario, I'm not sure if you have to buy 2 additional Kool Aids or not. Hopefully someone else can field this question!

[jonah-bonah]

Isn't the offer counted before coupons?

It was clarified yesterday, I think, that it is AFTER coupons....:frown:
A few people within this thread have talked to a gal named Kristen at Kraft.

It looks OK to me.

You can use the mayo coupons without buying more Kool-Aid. You are buying the two mayo. You can use a coupon on each to help pay for that purchase. After they are purchased, with or without a coupon, they can be used once as qualifiers for another coupon. That's the theory, at least. It's Couponing 102 so not all the cashiers are onboard with it.

So this deal is AFTER coupons and not BEFORE? Boy, that stinks! :o(
Haven't the the other Kraft GC deals always been BEFORE coupons?

I think that Kraft, if they had wanted to, could easily have eliminated products which are currently free with coupons from the participating products list and still given us plenty to choose from. The problem is that we are penalized for using coupons for any other products or even Publix coupons, not just Kraft ones, if our total goes below $50.00.

This just may be one promotion I may have to bypass.
