RDeals has been everywhere lately, and are very responsive on venues like Twitter.
I just got one of these, and received the voucher right away, but not the actual virtual gift card which is what is supposed to come in 3-5 days.
Thanks and thanked!

The email has a link to the voucher which IS the virtual gift card. You print that out and bring that with you to Kernels to redeem.

This is a pretty good deal, especially if you don't have a Kernels close by and want to use their website to make your order. As far as I know you can stack the cards. They charge a ridiculous amount for shipping so if you can get 5-6 cards and it can be used towards shipping, it'd be a nice deal. I love their jalapeno jack popcorn.

I believe you are mistaken. From what understand and have experienced in the past, the voucher is for a virtual giftcard...the virtual gift card is soemthing different and works like an actual gift card (I have used the promo ones before). Even the voucher states that the virtual GC will arrive via email in 3-5 days. This is the same way it worked when FabFind had a free $5 virtual gift card a while back. You show the virtual gift card to the Kernels store, they enter the GC number and pin number, and then your purchase is taken from the balance. For this promo, you will have 90 days to use the balance.
Did you successfully print and use the voucher at a Kernels? If yes, then colour me wrong.

Thanks for the clarification. This is my first time purchasing from Kernels and from Rdeals so I didn't know there is another step in between. So I guess when that email from gc@yourvirtualcard.com comes, we click on the link, enter our voucher code, and it will spit out the virtual promo card that we would print and redeem at the store.

Read posts above. There will be a voucher link to the email confirmation. But another email will be sent 3-5 days later for the virtual promo card where you can redeem for the $10. Stay tuned.

No problem, just wanted everyone to get in on it, and not skip over it.
Some one tweeted them that question, and they said you have to wait for the second email and follow the link in it to activate the e-gift card.
So now we play the waiting game.

FYI the original voucher which you get initially from rdeals says that you have to use all $10 at once, even though you get a gift card.
Just be aware in case you run into problems at the store. The expiry dates also differ from the voucher (sometime in July) and the gift card (end of June).

I think it's about $8.50 for a large popcorn. They do have buy one get one free quite often, and yes you can combine these. I did that with the previous offer of $5 for a $10 promo card.

Usually the kernals promo is buy one get one half price, or buy two get one free. It depends on the location I think.

I don't think you can, since the first email voucher doesn't contain the actual Virtual Gift Card number, which is a 19-digit number.

I used mine here on BOGO Tuesday. It was buy one large, get one free. My bf loves the double butter (which is expensive!) so I was able to get a large bag of that for him and a large bag of the cheesy dill for myself, and I only had to pay like $0.15 extra from the taxes of the double butter. $2.15 for 2 larges?

Probably select locations as I called the 3 Mississauga locations and they do not have BOGO on Tuesdays, instead, they have BOGO Half off everyday.
