Heads up, deal hunters! If you're near an H-E-B grocery store, you can snag a free gift card just by buying other gift cards. Through December 16, 2025, H-E-B is offering a $20 H-E-B gift card when you purchase $100 worth of select gift cards including Cinemark, Dick's Sporting Goods, Carter's, Home Depot, Lowe's and Starbucks. Or, get a $10 H-E-B gift card when you buy $50 in gift cards to places like Bath & Body Works, Chipotle, Sephora, and Ulta.

Why should you care? Well, think about it. If you already shop at any of those stores or plan to give them as gifts, you're essentially getting free money to spend at H-E-B. It's a fantastic way to double-dip on rewards. You could potentially use a rewards credit card to purchase the gift cards, earning points or cash back on the initial purchase, and then get a bonus H-E-B gift card!

This is also an easy way to manufacture spend if you need to hit a minimum spending requirement on a new credit card. Just buy gift cards you'll actually use, get the H-E-B gift card, and you're one step closer to earning that bonus!
