Every gift card Meijer sells in 2026 — dining, entertainment, and prepaid brands, plus how mPerks rewards and bonus-point gift card promotions actually work.

Quick answer: Yes — Meijer sells hundreds of gift cards across dining, entertainment, retail, and prepaid categories, on top of its own store-brand card. Most cards are fee-free; prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards carry an activation fee. Gift card purchases don't earn everyday mPerks points, but Meijer periodically runs limited-time bonus-point promotions built specifically around buying gift cards — worth watching for if you're an mPerks regular.
Meijer is a Midwest hypermarket chain — part grocery store, part general merchandise — and its gift card selection reflects that mix: dining and entertainment cards alongside the general retail and prepaid options you'd expect from any big-box store. This guide covers what's actually on the rack, the fees, and how the mPerks loyalty program really treats a gift card purchase.
Denominations & Fees
Meijer's own store gift card is open-value and fee-free — pick your amount, spend it on anything Meijer sells, groceries included. Third-party retail, dining, and entertainment cards are fixed-denomination, typically $10 to $100, with no purchase fee.
Prepaid cards are the exception: Visa, Mastercard, and multi-brand cards like One4All carry an activation fee on top of the loaded balance, similar to every other major retailer's prepaid rack.
Gift Card Categories at Meijer
Dining: Starbucks, Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Domino's, and Darden-owned brands like Olive Garden and Red Lobster.
Entertainment: Cinemark, Fandango, and other movie/streaming brands rotate through depending on the store.
Retail: Lowe's, Cabela's, eBay, and general merchandise brands.
Digital & streaming: Google Play, Netflix, Apple's iTunes card, and similar digital-delivery brands.
Deal aggregators: Groupon gift cards, less common at other chains but a regular fixture at Meijer.
Exact selection varies by store and rotates seasonally — call ahead for a specific brand if you're making a special trip.
Do Gift Cards Earn mPerks Points?
Under Meijer's standard mPerks earning rules, gift card purchases don't count toward everyday points the way groceries and general merchandise do. But Meijer runs this differently from a straight blanket exclusion: the retailer periodically launches limited-time bonus-point promotions built specifically around gift card purchases — a real example seen in past promotions: 10,000 mPerks points for spending $75 or more on select One4All or Visa gift cards in a single transaction.
These promotions rotate and aren't always running, so don't assume a random gift card purchase earns bonus points — check the mPerks app or in-store signage for an active offer before you buy if points are the goal.
