Yes, you get $2500 in gas cards for $350

what are the terms and restictions on the gas card?

The reason we got the gas companies and groceries to commit to this program is that they want to build up some "customer loyalty" to THEIR store. SO, you have to pick one grocery chain and/or one gas chain (say Safeway and Mobil for example), and buy ALL you food and gas from that chain.

They will divide up the $100 gift certificate into 4 months of $25 each. Why you ask? Simply because they hope the LONGER you keep comming back to THEIR store, the more committed you will be to continue to shop/buy there. I too wish they didn't break it up in $25 a month, but that's why it's so inexpensive to buy.

does it only work if they spend x amount of dollars first?
----
Once they have chosen their store, and have gone shopping and bought $100 a month in groceries and/or gas, they mail in their receipts for $100 that they paid for to start getting their gas and/or grocery card. Again, the companies do that because they are trying to KEEP the consumer IN THEIR STORES. And I know of NO ONE that doesn't spend at least $100 anyhow on groceries a month no matter where they shop.

Hope that answers your questions.

im interested, but i dont completely understand the angle

Getting weird prompt that message is too short..needs 8 characters..here's hoping it goes through ok!
