Our Verdict
We’ve seen HEB offer this kind of deal many times before. In the past, buying a variable-load card, e.g. a $500 card, worked for some, but not for others; hopefully the HEB experts will let us know if it works this time. Yet others are told they can’t use a credit card at all, only debit.
Even buying $50 Visa card could make sense on its own since the $10 covers more than the activation fee, plus you get a grocery multiplier. Use a card that earns a bonus at the grocery.
