It may seem confusing and like a lot of work but it really wasn't difficult to tell the cashier that I had separate transactions. All I did was break them up on the belt w/ the plastic bars.

By doing 4 transactions this way, I spent the least amount out of pocket. I could have very well paid cash up front and still have $47 in Catalinas in my pocket but I'd rather have the cash. ;)
