The Original Safeway Air Miles Thread at RFD.
Over 15000+ more views over the same time saids something.


My best advice to you: If you buy anything that includes Bonus Airmiles

KEEP YOUR RECEIPT

Write down the number of Airmiles you should get from that transaction.
So you can check with your account.
If you airmiles don't show up on your account for any reason and you don't have your receipt you have no recourse.
More info at bottom of this post if this happens to u.

Your Air Miles should now show up on your receipt. If not go talk to CS right away.

Added Dec 6/09 Each store has a choice to limit of Air Miles you might receive at one Store from one Bonus Offer of 500 Bonus Air Miles or 10 X one offer per day (Whatever comes first.). If that store as a limit on the Air Miles you can receive it should be well posted at the Cash Registers as well as at CS. (I have never seen this posted at my store or any other Safeway I been in. But people have told me it's posted at their stores.) Check at your store.

Local Deals
Some offers that are going on at local Safeway's. These deal are only available at the locations only not Chain Wide:

These deals are in the local Flyer and should be available in store near the front door or at CS if you don't live in the store's local area.

Deals in Metro Vancouver I know about:

Robson Street Safeway Spend $40 get 50 Bonus Airmiles with the special Key Tag until the end of the year Dec 31/09. Pick up the Special Key Tag at cs. You can use this once a day. Plus use the special spend $100 get 100 bonus airmiles coupon for the Robson Store only to earn 150 bonus airmiles when you use the coupon with the key tag. Thank to Newfbc for pointing this out. The Key Tag deal isn't in Robson's flyer this week but it should be still on until the end of the year.

Maple Ridge, Fleetwood in Surrey also the Willowbrook and the Fraser Crossing in Langley Safeway's all have the Spend $40 get 5x your base Air Miles offer with special flyer deals.


Other BC locations:

Alberta

Calgary:

Whitehorn Safeway at 3550 32 Ave N.E still has the Extreme Air Miles Event.

Spend $100 get 250 Bonus Air Miles
Spend $200 earn 500 Bonus Air Miles

With the coupon ready available in the store usually the cashiers have them.
http://safeway.ca.inserts2online.com/SafewaySafeway12062009Canada/large/large574879.jpg

Plus also at the Whitehorn Safeway get 10.5 cents off a litre of gas when you spend $100 or more.
http://safeway.ca.inserts2online.com/SafewaySafeway12062009Canada/large/large574885.jpg

Greater Edmonton Area:

At the Fort Saskatchewan Safeway you can pick up the Fort Saskatchewan Platinum rewards card and get 50 Bonus Air Miles when you spend $40 dollars. Thanks to splitsec for pointing this out.

The Leduc Safeway also offers the 50 AM for $40 Platinum card. Thanks to drpepperslurpee for pointing this out.

BTW Safeway Liquor Stores are only in Alberta and have the same base offer of 1 am for $20.
All Liquor Stores might have a spend $100 get 100 Air Miles coupon this week. But the liquor stores don't have there flyers online.

Other Alberta locations

The Lloydminster Safeway also offers the 50 AM for $40 Platinum card.

Sask:No local deals as far as I know

Manitoba:

Winnipeg:
Madison Square Safeway at 1612 Ness Avenue also has the Extreme Air Miles Event plus the gas deal like Whitehorn (See Above for the flyer and info)

Does your local safeway have a Air Miles Deal only at your local Safeway? Let me know.
-----
As always check the flyer for smaller airmiles offers as I only post the 2-3 best value items that I can find witch are under 30 cent per mile.

Some other offers:

Sign up for Safeway's email deal of the week. And get 100 Bonus Air Miles.

Sign Up for it here (http://www.safeway.ca/emaildirect)

I will update the rest of the offers after I go into Safeway and check prices for the best deals as some of offers don't have the prices in the flyer. As well as any in store offers that are not in the flyer

My store is Safeway #20, Sunwood Square, 100-3025 Lougheed Hwy Coquitlam, BC V3B 1C6 One block east of Coquitlam Centre Mall. All the deals I seen at my store or I will say so.

Some other advice:
Write down the amount of airmiles you should receive from that transaction and check your account on airmiles.ca in 2-3 weeks after your purchase. If the right number shows up your fine.

If your Airmiles don't show up Safeway makes you wait 90 days after your purchase date then you can phone Safeway and complain that you didn't get credited with your bonus airmiles. It's always going to take one of the airmiles offer cards. (Not the blue airmile card but the info card that have the pictures of item on the front and list the products and sizes on the back. And you can rip them off like a coupon. Some offers don't have these.)

Canada Safeway CS Phone Number is 1-800-Safeway (7233929) and I think the first option (at least the last time I phoned) Press One if you have a issue with your Airmiles.

But if you don't have your receipt your OUT OF LUCK.

Take Care. If you want the best AMs offers read this post.

Get an online version of your local Safeway's Flyer. Your Safeway might differ.

FAQ: No, I repeat there is no Safeway in GTA. Safeway is located only in Western Canada, Thunder Bay West.

This week's email coupons: http://www.safeway.ca/emaildirect/offers/emaildirect_49_2008.pdf (nothing special)

Definitely will be stocking up on granola bars on Tuesday.

FYI, didn't see those Extreme Air Miles coupons at the Kingsway & Royal Oak. 250 AM ($23.60 value) on $100 purchase is pretty sweet though.

I think you might be able to use the B1G1F coupons in the email with the airmile deal. I will try it out 2mrow. But only one coupon per visit. But if this is correct you will get 50 am for just $5.38. One of the best deals I have seen in a while.

Why not wait until Tuesday when it's Customer Appreciation Day? Then you'll save an extra 10% to make it 50 airmiles for $7.26! :-0

Hmmm...9 boxes=150 airmiles for only $21.78? Yep, think I can live with that.

I don't think the coupon will work.. it's for a different product.. when the cashier enters the PLU on the coupon, it will reject.

Quaker Chewy Bar usually means All "Quaker Bars" and just make sure when you go to check out 2 boxes are the 100 Calories bars 132g. So you can use the coupon from the email here: http://www.safeway.ca/emaildirect/offers/emaildirect_49_2008.pdf

As the ad says Quaker Chewy Bars or to go bars 132g to 300g. Buy 3 get 50 airmiles. And I think the 100 Calories bars are the only 132g Quaker product. (I could be wrong) The other coupon for the Crunch’ers are for 120g so it looks like this product wasn't included in the promotion. But I will know better once I have a chance to go to Safeway itself this morning.

Nov 30th, 2008, 12:17 PM

I may have to make the trip out to Coquitlam for that 500AM deal!

THAT is HOT, hell - that would finish off the amount I need for a christmas vacation flight :P

Tuesday - If the B1G1 free coupon can be used...$2.69*2 less 10% = $4.84 for 3 boxes which would get you 50 airmiles...do they count the free one in your buy 3 for 50AM? Buy '12' and get 200 airmiles for $19.36....175 airmiles for a $20 shell gas card...

The 100cal b1g1 deal should still count as 2 boxes, add a third box of your choice to get the airmiles deal. One coupon per visit, so whats to stop you from exiting the store and using another coupon.
I have a funny feeling that they may not count the free box as a purchased box.
If anybody tries that, please post if you were successful or not.

I haven't gone into the store, but I just called and talked to customer service and they will allow you to use both coupons, but only once. I'm going out to get some. Will let you know for sure if it works.

I used the Quaker 100 Cal B1G1F coupon today with the 3 boxes (1 box can be any other Quaker bar that is part of the AM offer, Blue price tag) Got 50 AM for $5.78. But keep your receipt just if safeway doesn't credit the airmiles to your account. (If after 90 days you can phone CS and ask them to add them.)

I used the cpn (2 copies) twice in 2 different visits to the cashier (I did go outside to make it official :lol:) so I should be credit for 100 am. The Crunch’ers are not part of the AM's deal and aren't on sale.

If I buy 12 ... will I get 200 AM or it is only one offer per airmile account? :lol:

robertmay
Nov 30th, 2008, 11:41 PM
i have often wondered about that 'per visit' thing? Some of the coupons are one redemption per airmiles account (like the 100 airmiles for spending 100 bucks at the safeway liquor store).
Can you redeem the 'per visit' air miles deals many multiple times in a day?

I have only been an airmiles collector since last january 10th, but I just redeemed all of mine (8700 airmiles) towards our family vacation to Cuba.

If it was possible to do multiple visits in short period, there would be no reason you couldnt rack up huge amounts of airmiles at the times when they have their best coupon deals.

Anyone ever use one of these 'per visit' coupons successfully more then once or twice in a day?

TYinYVR
Dec 1st, 2008, 12:32 AM
I used the coupon twice today but not on the same transaction. About 1 hour apart. Had a coffee in between.

Only one coupon per transaction. So if you buy 12 yes you will get 200 but if you buy them all in once you will only get 1 free.

There is no limit of the number of packages of bars you can buy. I have had no problem getting the airmiles from different offers 2 or 3 times or more in one week. I know you can even put in a special order if your store doesn't have stock to get 1000 airmiles if you want. People have done this with the bread offer before and gave the bread to the Food Bank.

BTW at my store today about half the stock was gone for the 100 cal Quaker Bars. If you get a rain check (for the item if they are out of stock) make sure they record the B1G1F coupon as well as the Buy 3 get 50 AMs. Not just the price.

So if a person shopped at the Coquitlam store and bought 75 boxes @2.69 (plus got one free with the coupon) and spent $201.75 and used the 25X base airmiles coupon (where does one get that coupon?)
they could get 2000 airmiles? That's 10 cents a mile which is very good.

500 bonus miles
250 bonus miles (25 X 10 base airmiles)
1250 bonus miles for granola bars (75/3 @ 50 )

Then give the granola bars to the food bank and you've made a great Christmas donation and collected some great airmiles.

Your math is just a little off if you buy the 75 boxs including the free box
74@ 2.69 = $199.06
You get 1 air mile for a $20 purchase after a $35
10 x 9 base airmiles = 90 airmiles
1250 bonus air miles
no 500 bonus airmiles ( not over $200)

10 x 10 base airmiles = 100 airmiles
500 bonus for going over $200
78/3* 50 =1300 extra bonus air miles
1900 airmiles for 207.13

or
75 @ $2.69 = $201.75, forget about the freebie

I'm not sure you can combined the bonus coupons. But I'm almost 100% sure if you buy $200 worth of Bars by itself and use the 500 Bonus airmiles coupon at my Store you will get all the miles. I would check with CS before you go and spend $200. But usually I find that I know more about the airmiles offers then they do. I don't work for safeway. I'm just a regular Customer. But some of the cashiers call me the "airmiles" guy.

The 25 times your base airmiles (1am for $20) coupon is here (http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25xamni9.jpg) thanks to Stinger.

So if you spend 60 dollars you get 75 bonus airmiles plus the airmiles from the bars. But, don't blame me if the airmiles don't show up. :lol:

Safeway's Customer Service Number is 1-800-SAFEWAY and your first option is Press One if you have a problem with your airmiles. :lol:

went back again after a bit and got the 100 calorie ones with the coupon...didnt realize the 5% GST on this...will go gangbusters on this deal tomorrow....to get the 10% off...

you can only use it once per transaction....I went in twice yesterday and 4 times today...300 AM...and no they do not give you 10% off the purchase today

How could some of you even think of buying 110 boxes!? Do you all have too much cash burning in your pockets?? I'm speechless @ some of you... LOL, i guess marketing really works on you folks, or maybe it's just the implusive buyer syndrome? :D Ludacris! ;)

:razz: By the way, Don't forget to use your Gold Mosiak M/C!! You'll earn an additional 7AM on a purchase of $110+, ROFL :confused:

I am buying these because I eat these, with the BOGO coupon they are a better deal than walmart ($2.23), would i buy this amount without the airmiles deal? no...buying 110 boxes gets you 1800 airmiles, enough for a return flight to XXX on a deal....if you are going or wanting to go anyways this is a way to prepay for your flight plus you get all the goodies to eat or vice versa

Because you have to spend 35 dollars or more on One transaction to get the 10% If you just buying the 3 boxes with the coupon you will not get the 10% off or 10 times the base am.

I'm going to Coquitlam tomorrow and buying $200 worth of granola bars.

Ignoring the bogo:

75 boxes will get me 1250 AM
Plus 500 for spending $200

For a total of 1750AM.

That can get me 4+ nights in a Holiday Inn during the pointsbreak promos, (worth at least $400) or a almost a flight from Vancouver to Toronto... which is 1995AM right now.

ALSO, some of the granola bars have codes for 25 Aeroplan points. So 75 boxes might get me as many as 1875 AP points. If an AP point is worth 2c, that's almost a $40 value right there.

I'll also get instant AM Gold, and if I redeem the AM for Priority Club points, I'll get instant PC Gold as well.

Somebody check my math before I drop $200 on granola bars. How long does it take to eat 600 granola bars?

Somehow I think you work for Save On or RCSS and you just don't want people to shop at Safeway.:lol:

I know a lot of people over the last 3 year who have used my deals to pay for there trips or vacations with the help of my threads. I had people come up to me in Safeway and told me "Are you the guy from RFD" (When I had my website listed. It has nothing to do with airmiles or shopping) And they told me I helped pay for their family's vacation. And I also got a email from a person who works at Safeway and they told me that they look at my thread to find the best deals. Because head office doesn't tell them anything about the deals. Just sends them the signs. Some of the Customer Service in the store aren't very helpfully to. They told me if there is a blue sign under the product and you buy that amount of product you will get the airmiles. No limit unless it on the sign. But always read the sign and make sure your buying the right size. As some of the signs are posted under the wrong size products. It's better now because they also have the blue price tag for the products.

That could really end up being a smokin' deal (depending on the regular price) since it's only the Fusion 4's (also good for the older version blades which are even cheaper). With the 50 AM being worth about $6, as long as the price at the till is <$16 I'm buying as many as I can.

I'm might be off 50 cents or so as I didn't write down the prices. And I only bought the batteries so I don't have the receipt and can't tell you the true price I paid. The Fusion Blades where sold out at my store.

You only have to pay for 1 and get one free. So you bought 2 and the airmiles are counted on the number of items you bought not the number of items you paid for.

The coupon says Buy 2 (not Pay for 2. :lol::lol:) get 75 AM

How long does it take after you sign up for the eflyer from safeway till the 100 airmiles show up and how long before you actually get the email form them. Its been like almost 2 weeks and no airmiles and no email from safeway.

I would think it would take about the same time that it takes to credit your aimiles from the products you buy. When I signed up, it about 10 days to be credited to my account. But that was about a year ago last Dec. Make sure you check your spam folder as it may have gone in to it. You should receive it on Saturday Night or Sunday. It's not sent at the same time each week. A least to me. It's sent to my gmail account fine. I don't know about Hotmail, yahoo, or a isp email like shaw .

The AA UltraDigital were still not scanning as of yesterday. I purchased the Ultradigital AAA for approx $9 after tax (AAA were scanning).

I did end up buying the AA at b1g1 free, however, there was a big fuss about the UltraDigital AA being not Ultra4s as advertised. Cashier finally agreed but with a big HMMMMFFFF. The problem with this is that he took off one package of AA completely on my receipt. Even though my receipt says award 75 airmiles, if there was a dispute or checking prior to awarding the airmiles, I would have no leg to stand on as technically I only purchased one package of AA on the receipt.

Just be aware of this when purchasing AA.

Michelina's Green Box Entrees for $1.66 each buy 5 get 50 AM for $8.30
Or mix and match to 5 with eggo waffles for $2.00 each.

They have the Duracell deal again this week but no 2 for 1 coupon so if they have the AA Ultra (Digital) 4's for $6.99 (doesn't say the price in the flyer so it might be a better price in store.) You can get 75 AM for $13.98.

The Safeway's Extreme Airmiles deal looks to be gone from my Safeway this week but they have a new contest for the 10 days leading up to Christmas.

Safeway's 10 Days of Giving.

100 winners a day for 10 days will win 500 air miles instantly!
Plus each time you swipe your club card you be entered into the Grand Prize Draw for 25000 Air Mile. From Dec 14th to Dec 23rd.

I got the B1G1 on Ultra Digital 4's. They didn't scan in properly but I showed them the flyer and the cashiers gave the deal to me with no hassles. In one case they just did a manufacturer coupon for $6.99 so I had to pay the tax on them both and he said I couldn't use the 75 AM coupon and gave it back to me, but he didn't remove it from the transaction so I got the 75 AM anyways. In my second case the cashier completely remove the second set of batteries from the transaction so I payed no tax on one package of batteries and she didn't give any arguement about the 75 AM coupon. So $13+tax for 150 AM. I'm happy.

I had many transactions with Quaker and the coupon. I did not get the bonus 25x for any of my purchases but the base airmile as well I got always less number of bonus AMs for Quaker so if I bought 6, I get 50 AMs, if I bought 9, I get 100 AMs. I am missing around 500 AMs!!! :mad:

Should I contact Airmiles.ca or Safeway?

TYinYVR
Dec 22nd, 2008, 03:24 PM
The 25X coupon were only for the BASE Safeway offer of 1 am for $20.

The X coupons don't count towards any of the product bonuses.

Safeway makes you wait 90 days from the purchase date. If your Airmiles don't appear in that period you can phone cs and they will look into your purchase. (You WILL NEED you receipt(s)). Phone 1-800-SAFEWAY (723-3929) Press (1) if you have a problem with your airmiles. If I remember correctly from the last time I phoned.

You can try asking Airmiles. But I don't know what kind of help you will get from them. As they will probably tell you to contact Safeway.

I may have missed it when I skimmed the thread, is this weeks "best airmiles deal" not showing up on the receipt for anyone else. I bought 6 perogies, and 4 GG Veggies from the mix'n'match 5 for 50 deal, and it shows nowhere on it that I am due 100 miles. (none of the are marked as part of the 5 for 50 but they had signs up in the store, and the they are in the flyer), although the juice I bought showed up as 2 for 20 or 30, whatever it was) I took it to the service desk and they pretty much ignored my question, and said it is automatic. Would not answer why it didn't show up on the receipt like normal.

Ug...90 days, that explains why those 180 points from a month ago, did not show up on the website (which states as of Dec 20), that means the 200ish from this month won't be here till like March.... I had hoped to get that DS or PSP, however at this rate the DSi's replacement, and PSP 4000 will be out by the time I get the points.... (I just need 500-900 more..... with the points I am waiting on 120-520)

The only time the air miles appear on your receipt is when you use a coupon to get the bonus. The normal bonus offers with the blue card on the shelves never appear on your receipt. It only says your air miles have been credited to your account on the receipt. But they do appear now (over the last year) on the Cashier's screen when you check out. I have asked them before why can't they put the bonus AMs on the receipt for my own records. CS has never given me a good answer. Always write down the bonus offer on the receipt. And take the info card about the bonus offer if they have them for your records also.

This week flyer is mini only 4 pages long.

The best deal:

Buy 6 2L Coca-Cola Soft Drinks for $1.33 each for $8.00 get 40 Bonus AM with the email coupon here (http://safeway.ca/emaildirect/offers/emaildirect_53_2008.pdf) in a pdf file.

Regarding the EDirect coupons...
Couple of situations:
One transaction: 12 Coke 2L + 1 coupon = 80 AM?
One transaction: 12 Coke 2L + 2 coupons = 80 AM?
Two transactions: (6 Coke 2L + 1 coupon) + (6 Coke 2L + 1 coupon) = 80 AM?

Which, if any, of the above would work?


Can you do multiples in one transaction of the regular flyer bonus offers (non-coupon)? Need separate transactions?

Dec 29th, 2008, 07:20 PM
The only time the air miles appear on your receipt is when you use a coupon to get the bonus. The normal bonus offers with the blue card on the shelves never appear on your receipt. It only says your air miles have been credited to your account on the receipt. But they do appear now (over the last year) on the Cashier's screen when you check out. I have asked them before why can't they put the bonus AMs on the receipt for my own records. CS has never given me a good answer. Always write down the bonus offer on the receipt. And take the info card about the bonus offer if they have them for your records also.



Actually, except for the recent Mix and Match 5, they have always shown on the receipt at the local Safeway, even the Oasis juice which was bought at the same time (which did not need a coupon) showed on it. However, if it is normal for it not to show up, then I will not worry about it for 3 months, I have the receipt and flyer anyway. All points except for the Oasis Juice, and the 100 from the mix and match, were added on the 27th.

The Best Item is Buy 4 Christie Cookies (Oreo and other varieties) for $3.00 each get 50 Bonus Airmiles for $12.00 no coupon required.

Safeway's email coupons for this week are ok:

I think the only good one is the Purex Bathroom Tissues get 40 Bonus airmiles for $11.98.

See the rest here in a pdf file.

Some other offers:

This Tuesday Jan 6th is Customer Appreciation Day 10% off or 10 times the base air miles offer when you spend 35 dollars or more before tax.

They have started another one of there Pull Tab games again Texas Holdem with a chance to win a trip to Vegas as the top prize.

The flyer this week isn't online this week. At least in my area.

Good Luck All.

Can you tell me if 10x the base airmiles are stackable with these promotions?

TYinYVR
Jan 6th, 2009, 06:52 PM
The 10X the airmiles offer is only for the base offer of $20 for 1 AM. So if you spend $20 you get 10 airmiles or $100 you get 50 airmiles.

The 10X doesn't count towards any of the bonus product offers. So no you will not get 500 airmiles if you buy the cookie offer.

Most people take the 10% off your bill for the CA day.

Or Buy 6 Quaker Crispy Delights for $2.00 each or Pepsi Mini Cans for $1.99 (for 6 pack) plus deposit get 40 Bonus Airmiles for around $12.00. Mix and Match.

Nexxus Hair Care items 350 ml Buy 3 get 100 Airmiles. I went to the store today to check the price but my store didn't have these on the shelves yet. But I talked to the staff and they have the items in the back but couldn't give me a price. So it could be a good deal or not. I will post the price once I find them on the shelves. Or if you find the price maybe you can post it for me.

The 100 Bonus Airmiles when you spend $100 coupon is available on the airmiles deals sign at the front of the store. In my store it's in between the west double entrance doors by the flyers. It red this week.

Have Fun Collecting or Spending Airmiles until Next Week.

Small and quick update for me this week as my computer died last week and my new one is on order and I'm just at my library. So don't expect a quick reply from me this week.

10 Bonus AM for $2.46 for 2 Kikko Asian Food Mixs. (Until Monday Feb 9)By the chilli or Sloppy Joe Mixs.

And 30 AM for 4 Old El Paso Taco Shells for $10. (Until Jan 31st)

And the Buy $100 get 100 AM cpn is on the front cover of the flyer this week.

Until Next week and my new computer.

Good Luck.

Also...use the General Mills product coupons ($1.00 each) for the Old El Paso and save $4.00 more.

I used the save.ca coupon for the McCain Pizzas ($4.00 for 3) and will send in the rebate to McCain for $5.00 cheque. That works out to getting the pizzas for $2.00 each plus the bonus airmiles. The pizzas usually sell for $9.49 regular price.

Also there is the promotion for the free ground beef if you buy 2 El Paso products. That is discussed on another thread.

The Yogourt deal is good if you have 5 cpn but avg if you don't.

I have not seen the email yet for this week but I try to get on 2mrow to update the am offers. Still don't have my computer until Tuesday.

Customer Appreciation Day is Tuesday Feb 3rd 10 times the safeways based AM offer of 1 AM for $20 or 10% your bill when you buy $35 or more.

The Feb AM coupon book is out this week will all avg deals. Unless you are going to buy the products anyway.

When you use the "spend $100 get 100 AM" coupon, do those AM get added at the same time as the bonus points earned in that purchase? On Jan 14 (showed up in my account a week or so ago) I got bonus points for Sun Rype and Dole juice, chicken breasts, and the base points (5, so you know I hit $100) but not the 100 AM for hitting $100.

I have been a regular on this thread but if you buy the shampoo on Tuesday do you still get 10% off AND the 25 AM? If so it would be $4.50 for the 25 AM which is even better....might be buying some shampoo this week!

just in reading the flyer the 5 boxes of $3.99 kashi for 100 AM is good this week too and equiv to the shampoo...the gillette fusion power blade coupon is a great deal...19.99 for 8 blades plus 40 AM

About 1.5 year ago, the 100 AM rewards will show up at the same time with the other bonus. Since last summer, it's much later.

I spent $103 on Oct 18/08 and still waiting for my 100 AM rewards. I went to talk to the store. The rep said the coupon was scanned as per my receipt. There is nothing they can do at their end. I will have to talk to AM. I read their Q&A and it says it may take up to 120 days to credit to your account. If I still don't see it by Feb 18, I will write them a note. I came across the page to claim the missing AM but now I cannot find it from the Q&A section. If you (or anyone) find it, hope you don't mind to post it.

It's on the front page of the Vancouver Flyer. It might be different in Winterpeg. No Cpn Just a reg airmiles deal. But all the blue signs in the store say buy 2 get 10 am. So you may have to fright to get 25 am.

Also I bought the gillette fusion blades today and they come up on the screen as 40 bonus airmiles but my receipt saids just 10 am. So it might be just a computer error. I guess we just have to wait and see.

There are various types that are available, but on the lower shelves in my store, there is the buy 2 get 25. Higher shelves do show the buy 2 get 10, so you have to watch. I did pretty good today, bought the Jane's Chicken Nuggets buy 3 get 50 with coupon book, buy 5 Kashi cereals get 100, buy 5 Nabob coffees get 40, bought 5 Yoplait Tubes and had 5 coupons for .50 off as well, got 40, and got the shampoo buy 2 get 25. Combine that with a prescription I need to get 7x base am and threw all that on Amex Airmiles Platinum for another 15...figure I got at least 300 total while spending less than 150. So when you take the usual 1 am for $20 deal, this works out to 1 am for .50. Much better ratio! Oh, all that plus 10% off for Customer Appreciation. :D

Kikkoman seasonings bonus miles:

Maybe Safeway waits until the promo is over and adds all the miles from each promo at once. I don't know and I don't work there so it just a guess on my part. It's usually about a 2 week waiting period on avg for Safeway miles. And that promo just ended on Monday. So give it a couple more days or another week. It's not on my statement yet either. I would not worry about it.

You will get the 50 bonus miles but at the higher price of I think $12 because I think the superfries are 3 for 8 dollars. I usually just put the best value item on this thread. Almost every deal have higher price items. And the 3 superfries may work better for you or your family.:)

Buy Colgate Toothpaste for 3 for $5 get 10 Bonus AMs But if you buy 6 for $10 get 40 Bonus AM's.
Part of the Mix and Match deal on Personal Care Event. Where you can Mix and Match higher price items with the toothpaste, just make sure they add up to 6 items to get your 40 AM's.

General Mills Cereal for $3.50 each buy 4 get 30 bonus AM.
This is an avg AM deal but most of the boxes (at least at my store) have the Free Movie ticket in April. (But remember the free movie ticket boxes will probably be the first ones to go.)

The 100 Bonus Airmiles when you spend $100 coupon is on the front page of the flyer or in the email. But I'm sure rfd people are going to use the 25 X coupon as it gives you a better deal.

Until Next week.

And do you need a coupon to get the bonus. Well some bonuses you do like the email bonus or the 25X your base airmiles bonus. And this month Safeway has a coupon book out and all the products that are in the coupon have the a blue price tag. If on the price tag it said but 2 get 15 am with coupon. You will need the coupon from the coupon book. But the normal AM's deals you don't need a coupon. So just read the price tag.

Hey guys, you know those AM coupons that are tagged beside the product with promotion. So, I was wondering if I have to have those coupons present at cashier when I buy promotional product? Thanks for replies.

If you are talking about the blue AM tear pads, then no. The computer should know the promotion and automatically credit you for the AM. But I usually keep one with my receipt in case there is a dispute with my AM. Hope this helps.

This is a quote from my first post. And yes walmart is cheaper. Amazing!!! Are you telling me or anyone that read this thread something that we don't already know?

Walmart, Zellers, RCSS, Sometimes Save On, are cheaper then Safeway.

Do I do 100% of my shopping at Safeway.

NO!!!!!

What I meant is that, if I can get those stuff cheaper somewhere else, that means indirectly I am paying to buy those points. It depends on how much you are paying and that makes it a good deal or not. For example, I look at the kids section, there is a rain forest high chair which selling at MSRP $130, and it needs about 1300 airmiles, I also check other stuff, the value is <= 10 cents per airmiles. So, if I need to pay more then that to get the points, it is not good deal. so, do your math.

Do you really get 30 DOUBLE rolls (60 rolls) of tissue at Walmart for $9.97?

Ron.

The flyer is gone, but I saw Superstore is having 30 double rolls for $11.99. So, I believe $9.97 is for double roll at Walmart.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I use the 25x airmiles for $60, then I can't use the 100 am for $100. So, IMO, what's the point of the 25x?

Use the 25X it's $60 min not just $60. So if you spend $100 you will get 125 Airmiles. ($100/ 20 = 5 X 25 = 125 Reward miles)

If you spend $200 you get 250 Airmiles. If you spend $200 and use the 100 Airmiles for spending $100 you will only get 100 airmiles.

One Coupon per transaction.

Feb 17th, 2009, 02:52 PM
yep, I just spent 160 with the 25X coupon... so base reward would be 8... X25 is 200. Plus another 100 airmiles for the various bonus offers we picked up. Plus we paid with amex airmiles platinum which is another airmile for every $10 spent.

All told... picked up just over 300 airmiles... and 400 is enough for a $50 HBC gift card... if you get enough, you can cash em in and buy new appliances from The Bay :)

You will get 20 bonus airmiles for spending $7 dollars.

The normal (Base) offer for safeway is spend $20 get 1 Airmile but it has nothing to do with the bonus offers. And even if you spend $12 on Monday and $9 on Friday Safeway will give you 1 Armile as your receipts for a Safeway week adds up to over $20. Safeway's week is from Sunday to Saturday like the normal flyer.

Lastly I'm still not sure if you can use the base 25x coupon in conjunction to for example the $20 two garbage bag boxes 75x bonus offer coupon plus $40+ dollars in regular groceries netting in(75+(3Base miles*25x coupon) which would equal 150 Airmiles?

First of all Welcome to RFD.

There is no limit on the reg blue sign offers in store. (Except sometimes they do limit the price on some items. Like the sale price is for the first 4 items per week and they use your club card to count the items. But usually they allow you enough items to get the bonus at least once at the sale price.) But I know some members here have put special orders for bread and other items when safeway was giving away 50 Airmile for 5 Loafs for about $6. About a couple years ago. And they bought like $200 worth of bread and donated it to the food bank. And got 1000-2000 Airmiles with different bonuses that week. All in one transaction.

And Yes you should get 150 Airmiles if you buy $40 of reg groceries and the Garbage Bags. You will need the coupon for the Garbage Bags it's not automatic added to your account. But the coupon book is at CS if you didn't get one in your local paper or in your mail. The $60 + is before taxes.

And keep your receipt if anything goes wrong with your Airmiles you will need it to plead your case 3 months down the road. It always go to write down the amount of Airmiles you believe you should receive from that transaction and then check your account at Airmiles.ca to see if you have the same amount credited.

Good Luck

Yeah just came back after buying 12 of them. No limit over here in Edmonton either.

Eventually I'll have to figure out the best way to spend my airmiles.. up to 4000 of them now.. thanks safeway (and Amex air miles). I don't remember seing one but is there a thread discussing this? I have looked up the airmiles website a few times and to just "cash out" air miles by buying gift cards, one airmile is usually worth between 11 and 14 cents. I wish to find a deal closer to 20 cents. Am I dreaming?

Edit: By deal I mean "redeeming my airmiles" deal

30 AM for $5.94 is a ok deal not the best I've seen.

I have got 50 AM for about 5.50. But that doesn't happen every week. That the best I have got.

You will get the best value of your airmiles if you use them towards Travel. But you still have to pay the tax/fuel surcharge towards your ticket. But everyone is different and it might not be the best value to you in your life.

5.50 for 50 AM is a killer deal.. if the product is somewhat useful and non perishable you pretty much get it for free(or more than free if there is a way to redeem for product/service with AM worth more than 10 cents each).

I hate Safeway because of their inflated prices. So only when they have good AM deals (mostly those you post) that I have a use for the product I will buy some.

I traveled once with my AM and I was somewhat disappointed by the amount of money I had to disburse to fly on top of my AM. Is it better to look for a short distance or look for long distance flights? Or wait for promotions where we need 25% less airmiles to travel?

I'm trying to set a goal for when to redeem my AM. I don't want to collect forever and never see a return :)

I just used 2550 airmiles to book a flight for three people (850 each) roundtrip from Vancouver to Castlegar over Easter. The price for the same flights through the Air Canada site totalled about $1040. Factoring the fees I had to pay for the Air Miles tickets, it still worked out to slightly more than 27 cents per Air Mile. With such great redemption values, I rarely use my miles for anything other than short haul flights. I also have no problems justifying buying groceries that I might not otherwise buy for the bonus airmiles.

[I also use my aeroplan miles exclusively for travel. I find the best use of them is for cross-country trips. I've managed to get tickets a couple of times that would otherwise have cost $1000 each for only 25000 aeroplan points (Vancouver - Charlottetown).]

Thank you. I am going to switch my Amex to aeroplan soon as it seems to be adding up faster than air miles. Not quitting AM though as accumulating them at a very little cost is easy enough.

I am from the east coast and I live in Edmonton so I will be traveling back occasionally and hopefully be able to use my AM for it.

Pick the best program for you and concentrate on that program.

If thats Airmiles, Aeroplan, HBC Points, SDM, or Anything.

I know tons of people who have 1000 miles or points in every program.

And they say it takes forever to redeem my points.

My best advice to you: If you buy anything that includes Bonus Airmiles

So other advice:
Write down the amount of airmiles you should receive from that transaction and check your account on airmiles.ca in 2-3 weeks after your purchase. If the right number shows up your fine.

If your Airmiles don't show up Safeway makes you wait 90 days after your purchase date then you can phone Safeway and complain that you didn't get credited with your bonus airmiles. It's always going to take one of the airmiles offer cards. (Not the blue airmile card but the info card that have the pictures of item on the front and list the products and sizes on the back. And you can rip them off like a coupon. Some offers don't have these.)

Canada Safeway CS Phone Number is 1-800-Safeway (7232929) and I think the first option (at least the last time I phoned) Press One if you have a issue with your Airmiles.


Well, my personal experiences tell me the otherwise.... I purchased over $100 back in Oct 2008. After 2 weeks it didn't show up in my account. Usually it would show up in 2 weeks for all the purchases I made since 2006. Somehow starting 2008, not only it's taking a long time and many times it just didn't show at all. I went back to Safeway to complain. The guy told me there is nothing they can do. The receipt shows the cashier did scan the 100 AM coupon. Now it's up to AM to credit my account.

IF the cashier didn't, and you have the receipt, then they will write it on their book manually and eventually the AM will show up.

I check the AM site and it says it will take up to 6 months to wait. So starting Monday in March, I will send a request to AM to get my 100 AM back. How? On the bottom page of your online account statement, there is a link to claim missing AM.

So from now on, every time I use the 100 AM coupon, I have to keep the receipt for 6 months and then file a complain.

I've used multiple *different* bonus offer coupons many times.. but.. a couple of weeks ago, I used the buy 2 kitchen garbage bags, get 50 Airmiles one.. I noticed she scanned it twice by mistake, and I did get 100 Airmiles. So I'm thinking you can use multiples of the same as well.

It all depends on the casher you pick 2. Ones that are having a bad day always read every word on the coupon and follow it word for word. It seems I always pick the wrong ones. But sometimes I get lucky.:lol:

LOL.. it's not about going through them fast.. they keep pretty well in storage, and don't have a best before date. ;)

I stock up when it's a good deal.. it's better to get them when they're on sale
(net cost of ~$11 here for 8 blades), than to pay an arm and a leg when you run out and have to buy.

Deals on good blades are usually few and far between. Good to have stock to use up during those gaps.

The Extreme Airmile deal is back in Metro Vancouver but in New West this time I think.

Can anyone confirm that the extreme airmiles deal is back on at the New West "McBride" Safeway.

Spend $100 and get 250 airmiles
Spend $200 and get 500 airmiles

The e-flyer is down for this store so I can't see it for myself.

The Address is 800 McBride Boulevard "McBride and 8th ave."

The flyer should be in store and the cashier should have it when you go thru the check out.

It's been on for the last two weeks. As I read on a different site. But I don't know if it's still going on.

Good Luck

The coupons are available in Store. There were in my store last week in Coquitlam. They were in the cereal aisle and the frozen food aisle. It's a booklet with coupons and recipes. The online version doesn't have the coupons.

I have seen the booklet in Safeway and Save on Foods at the pinetree location right next store to the Sunwood Safeway.

Buy 3 Softsoap Hand Soap Pump for $2.49 each get 30 Bonus AMs for $7.47

BTW when I was in my store today in Coquitlam the coupon lady was there today. And she was restocking the Europe Best Booklets. So I say there is at least 50 in my store. As well as some at the Pinetree Save on Foods across the street.

The actually name of it is Sunwood Square Safeway or Canada Safeway #20. Not Westwood. :lol: That is what Safeway calls it with the store coupons.

About the Tide. There was some there on the weekend but not much today. I think they where just getting rid of out stock because I brought some downy for 50% to $3.99 and had a $1 off coupon on the weekend and got home and the code was older then the one I brought last month. But it doesn't go bad like milk!!. Right? :D

Mar 9th, 2009, 08:23 PM
Yeah most of that whole detergent shelf had been cleared up and was lucky to find a bottle of the febreeze one hidden away :)

I actually found lemon fresh bottles of tide for 3.99 about a month ago so I bought 2. We don't do much laundry so I figure the 3x 26 loads is probably good for a year. Not a bad deal for 15 bucks for good detergent. So I hope it doesn't go bad! I don't see why it would!

Anybody know what "Kelloggs snacks" are included as alternatives to the Vector cereal AM deal? It's a decent deal if you really like Vector - it's 5 jumbo boxes for $23 ($35 less $12 worth of AM), so $4.60 each - but I'm wondering if the "snacks" might be a better deal.

Would the math not be:

Regular AM: 1 AM for every $20
$100/$20 = 5 AM

Eggo Bonus AM: $5 in Eggo's = 50 AM
$100/$5 = 20 sets
20 sets * 50 AM = 1,000 AM

Coupon Bonus AM:
$100 = 100 AM

Total:
5 + 1,000 + 100 = 1,105 AM

There doesn't look like there is a 100 AMs for $100 this week. If I find one in store or in another location I will post it here. I know that there is a 5X your base AMs when you spend $40 or more at the Maple Ridge Safeway Location only in NorthEast section of Metro Vancouver. But there is no 100 bonus AM coupon for the pharmacy this week.

I will post any deals I find in store in the next couple days.

For quite some time now (since before Walmart opened) the Peninsula Village Safeway in South Surrey (24th Ave and King George Highway) has spend $40 get 50 bonus airmiles. You have to have this special card, which they just give to you. This might be on at the Ocean Park Safeway at 16th Avenue and 128th Street in Surrey as well.

If you are out that way anyways it might be worth stopping in to do your shopping.

I bought 18 boxes of granola bars yesterday for a total of $47.50 and will get 350 airmiles.

I may do that a few times this week.

I shop at this Safeway a lot and my airmiles really add up with this bonus 50 airmiles.

Safeway does take orders if your store doesn't have the stock. Just talk to your CS. Donated to the Food Bank. I have been donating food to the Food Bank for years.

I purchased 60 boxes of the Nature Valley bars from Safeway, which works out to 1000 airmiles. However, when I paid for it, the cashier screen said "60 airmiles earned at $1.39 each". I don't understand how that even works.

So will I get the rest of the airmiles automatically anyway, or should it have showed me the correct amount on the screen in the first place?

I'm pretty sure that is just the discount of price you saved on each item you purchase not your airmiles. 60 items -$1.39 off the Reg (Yes the HIGH price of $3.89 per box) to get down to $2.50 each. You don't have to tell me or the staff at Safeway on how high the Regular prices all. But I guess they have to pay for the airmiles some how. I almost never buy anything at safeway that isn't on sale, but you should get your 1000 airmiles without a problem. Just make sure you keep your receipt.

Did you donate to the Food Bank directly or drop the food at the foodbank bin at the Safeway store? If you donate them to the foodbank directly, you can ask for a gift in kind tax receipt to claim on your tax return.

Me, myself I have never made a mega purchase like some of the RFDer's here. So I have just put my 4-5 items in the box at the front of the store and not worried about the tax receipt. But this morning I checked out the Greater Vancouver's Food Bank's website and it looks like to me that they only give tax receipts for donations over $20 in cash. But I don't know. The GVFB serves Burnaby, New Westminster, Vancouver and the North Shore. and their website is www.foodbank.bc.ca and I was looking at the food drive page here (http://www.foodbank.bc.ca/main/?GrpFoodDrives). You can phone the foodbank at 604-876-3601 and ask them directly. If you not in Vancity maybe you can email Susan Brennan who handles food drives at susanb@foodbank.bc.ca
And she would probably be more than happy to take to you and give you all the info.

I got all this info off their website.

The cereals that are 2/$7 are the "Family Size" ones that have 5 x $2 off coupons (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=697093) on the back.

Buy 5 of those cereal boxes for $17.50 and 50 bonus AM. Cut out all the coupons. Use the five $2 off nutri-grain coupons to buy 5 boxes for $2.50 and 50 bonus AM. Use the five $2 off Vector coupons to buy 5 boxes for $5 and 50 bonus AM.

The cereals that are 2/$7 are the "Family Size" ones that have 5 x $2 off coupons (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=697093) on the back.

Buy 5 of those cereal boxes for $17.50 and 50 bonus AM. Cut out all the coupons. Use the five $2 off nutri-grain coupons to buy 5 boxes for $2.50 and 50 bonus AM. Use the five $2 off Vector coupons to buy 5 boxes for $5 and 50 bonus AM.

$25 altogether for 150 bonus AM. 0.166 per mile.

Hope you like cereal since this plan involves buying 10 boxes. :lol: I don't actually endorse what I outlined above, just wanted to point out it's possible. Certainly, you end up getting hack of a lot more food, for not that much more money. And you still have the other $2 off coupons left which can make things free or almost free if you wait for the right sales.

What I did first was buy the one box of Corn Pops at $3.50 to get the $10 in coupons. I then use every coupon on the back except for the Eggo's which aren't a deal this week. Next, I will always buy another box of either Corn Pops or Frosted Mini Wheats, use the $2 coupons on Nutri Grain, Straws, Just Right Cereal 475g and Rice Krispie Squares.

Corn Pops - $3.50
RK Squares - $0.50
Nutri Grain - $0.50
Straws - $0.50
Just Right - $1.00
Total out of pocket = $6.00 PLUS 50 AM.

Done it about 5 times already...plan on doing it a whole lot more!

Now we're talking. On the other hand someone (YOU?) cleaned out the Safeway next to my house in Edmonton. I tried looking to see if the cereal boxes had these coupons but yeah they were all gone. You've just motivated me to go look at other safeways :) There are two of them close to work and I plan on bringing scissors with me and exactly replicate what you did. Thanks for the break down.

I went to two safeways and managed to do it 3 times. I'll probably do it once more but that's a lot of food in total !! I'll have cereal for the next few months that's for sure. The first safeway had only one box left with the coupons on it. The other one though had quite a few so I got to diversify my breakfasts for the next few weeks :) I got the look from the cashiers but they were like you, pretty impressed by the good deal overall!

I look at it from two points of view.

1) 50 Airmiles
2) When are you ever going to get boxes of cereal like Just Right for $1.00...or Nutri Grain, Rice Krispie Squares or those Straws for .50? The price alone is worth it. The AM's are just pure gravy!

Thanks for the tip : Indeed, You need to do each group in a transaction. Yes, it takes time but possibility of losing AMs is a little or even you lose 100 AMs not 300 AMs. I do not know why we do not get any indication in the recipeit that we have the AMs and you save our time Safeway! Thanks!

If you value AM at just under 12 cents each like I do (exchange for Shell GC's), you're better off getting the pudding at Costco. $4.19 for 24 after coupon (17 cents each) vs $10 for 20 at Safeway. 50 AM = $5.71 so you're getting them for 21 cents each.

Plus no waiting for AM to get posted (and no chasing them if they don't). As always cash > AM.

The Safeway deal is better if you get significantly better value out of AM than I do or if you just want to get one flavour (Costco gives you 12 of each vanilla and chocolate).

True. If I was going to be spending $35+ anyway (personally I wouldn't be with this flyer) it would be about even with the Costco deal when you factor in the extra GST you have to pay at Safeway (on $9 vs $6.19 at Costco).

Even so. I can fly out of Bellingham or Seattle for little more than what I'd pay for taxes & fees alone out of YVR, rendering the AM's virtually worthless. I haven't flown within Canada in probably 20 years.

If I lived further from the border and/or a long way from a major airport, I could definitely see the value of using AM's for flights.

When you buy one Bright Green Cleaner for $3.49 get 20 AMs 0.17 per mile.
Yes the picture in the flyer said buy 2 get only 10 bonus airmile. But if you use the coupon in the safeway email when you buy 1 you get 20 bonus airmiles. Plus in my store they were deming the product and had a $1.00 off coupon. So if you can get the coupon you can get 20 AMs for $2.49 0.12 per mile.

And yes you can use the coupons a number of times.

I was in today and if I remember correctly it is 1.29 per loaf. It's crap bread but will certainly buy 5 anyways. I hadn't seen the coupons yet when I went. Last week cucumber was 1.50 or 1.99 .. hopefully it's cheaper this week. Would be pretty hot.

I'm tempted to give it a try as well. Every time I use a coupon at safeway they don't care at all or at least they look like they don't care. I did this thing with the 2$ off coupons from the cereal boxes a few weeks ago and I would just hand in all the coupons and she would just do 2$ off 4 times. Not verifying if I did buy the exact product on the coupon.

In my opinion, they get the money back anyways from the manufacturer so for as long as the stock is moving off the shelves, they're happy. Could be a different story with the coupons issued by them but if you get the cashier to scan it, I'm pretty sure you'll end up with the air miles.

I tried to use this deal, however when I went to the store the D.O. I use (which in the flyer was included in the sale) didn't have the blue shelf sticker, however the ones my boyfriend uses did - but I didnt think he'd appreciate me bringing home 5 of them ! & we're well stocked on toothpaste. I was gunna ask someone about it, but I had to run off to work. Oh well !

Just for your info I was in Europe for a couple of weeks. That is why I had no updates from me.

You can use the third coupon here (https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/Splash?splashId=3800224&changeLocale=en_CA) to get 10 bonus airmiles for 0.50. Yes 50 cents. 5 cents per mile. When you use the Kids eating right coupon and by a Fruit bar. For 50 cents. The coupon is one per visit/transaction. I have use this coupon 2 times a day. On different transactions and the miles have showed up in my account for the uses I made before my trip.

Next week there is also a 2 for 1 coupon in next weeks flyer for a grande cold beverage at Starbucks. No Airmiles but still a good deal. Only good at Safeway's Starbucks. Almost every Safeway in Vancouver or in BC has a Starbucks. One the back page of the flyer. Is this only in BC or nation wide.

Look for a better update tonight or Sunday Morning when next weeks flyer goes online and when I get Safeway's email.

I think mine is a much better deal. They always have that $100 for 100 AM anyway. This is the first time I see $60 for 100 AM.

I missed the $100 for 250 AM. Have not seen such deal for years in Vancouver. I went through the West Ender but didn't see the AM deal for the Robson. But it's too late. Today is Sat. last day to use the coupon. I will use the $60 tomorrow instead since I know I can spend $60 easier than $100.

Note General Mills cereal is on sale Buy 3 Get 25 Airmiles. With coupon post above where you buy 6 GM cereal get 100AM, you should be able to get 150 airmiles for purchasing 6 GM cereals at a cost of $23.94 (approx 15.96 cents per mile). Not the best but if you eat GM cereals anyways....

I get the flyer every week but never see one for Robson only. I don't recall they have a specific coupon for just one store. The only time it happens is in one of the ads in the local Courier (arrives on Wed) or West Ender (available on Thur). I have not registered the Safeway online yet.

The email comes from Airmile itself on May 6. It says "Redeem for your dream faster with Safeway and General Mill". Was never from Safeway. I don't know why some people didn't get it. My friend is also a gold AM collector but he never got one. I printed it to PDF and posted at work. People sent me notes that they didn't get it either.

I decided to drive to Robson this afternoon. They have a special cover with that $50 for 100 AM and the cashier gave me back the coupon so I can use it 2 more times during this week (which I doubt I will spend $150 this week). Even with the $5 off Entertainment coupon, my bill came to $61.

Hey I got a question about missing airmiles. A few weeks ago they had a deal on burgers $8.99(2 types listed), buy 2 get 25 airmiles. I picked up 4 boxs and when I got to the counter I noticed that 1 box was the same brand but not 1 that was listed as a airmiles deal. As girl scanned that 1 item, I asked her if that was also part of the airmiles deal, and she said yes. They just updated my airmiles and was only credited for 2 boxs. For those that have tryed to get missing airmiles, do I have a good chance to get those back? That 1 box was 1 dollar less then the ones with the airmiles deal. I guess I need look a little more closer to what I am grabbing.

From my experience, cashiers know diddly squat about the current Airmiles deals. I would say that you are SOL about your Airmiles. However, I would call Safeway Canada in 3months (the required waiting time for things to be posted). Tell them that you are missing 25AM and see if they will give it to you as a goodwill gesture. You will have to fax in your receipt to them.

Eating Right is the Safeway brand for food that is better for you. The kids Eating Right products have Kids right on the label and have Looney Tunes characters on the packs.

today I spent $60.01 on groceries...and I used the Get 100 AM when you spend $60. The cashier entered the coupon but the AM coupon only shows up as "Bonus Airmile Coupon - 1" on my receipt. It doesn't show 100AM or anything. She said for me to check online to see the bonus 100 AM credited to my account...is this true?

I'm asking because I went for another transaction and got the Kids eating right fruit bar bonus 10AM coupon and the receipt actually said "Bonus 10 Airmiles coupon".

Or do I have to wait 2-3 weeks and check my account to see if the AMs have been credited?

TYinYVR

Or is that your final cost.

Because I know the $60.00 for 100 am coupon is before taxes.

But I don't know if it appears on your receipt. Myself I have never used the coupon. But I know the 10 bonus am for the kids right product does show up on your receipt. And it take about 10 days - 2 weeks to appear in your account online at airmiles.ca

Was just at my local Safeway and looking at the pet food. Whiskas products are part of the buy 6 get 40 airmiles.

There are whiskas bites pouches - 85g on for .63 or .64 cents each depending on the flavour. They were clearly tagged as participating products in the buy 6 get 40 airmiles. My Safeway was almost cleaned out so someone has figured this out. I managed to get 4 of them plus two packages of whiskas temptations which I think were around $1.80.

If you can find the Whiskas bites that would be 40 airmiles for $3.78 .945 cents per mile.

At my store I know they sometimes they put signs with products that are the wrong sizes and are not included in the am deals. I will check at my store 2mrow. And the lady who does my sign at my store does them on Monday. And I was there on Sunday and no miles for the pouches. So It might have changed. I haven't checked the pet food since Sunday.

And you save $2.00 for shell gas. $18.00 cat food for $20. gas not really a good deal.

If you have a cat that loves the food and a car. Maybe but. Still a waste of time for me. For $2.00 in free gas. Save your airmiles for something better!!!!!

2 weeks to show up on your account
3-4 weeks to mail the gas card to you.

Abount 6 weeks to save under 2 dollars in gas.

You are better off just using the gas rewards 3.5 cents off litres for $100 spend at safeway. And you don't have to wait 6 weeks. And you only need to spend $200 to get 10.5 cents of a litre of gas.(because you get 3.5 cents off is the base offer and 7 cent for the $200) And if gas is $1.00 per litre. You save $2.10 on a $20 purchase of gas. And you don't have to wait 6 weeks :cheesygri

But hey I not u!!! Buying $18. something in cat food to get $20 in gas. OK :lol: Whatever works for u.

If you can find the Whiskas bites that would be 40 airmiles for $3.78 .945 cents per mile.

This is confirmed in my store in BC. Certain whiskas pouches (regularly @ $0.64) are now on sale for $0.54 and are on the Mars promotion (buy 6 get 40AM). I confirmed this as they scanned my Safeway card I can see the discount with the Mars Promotion written right beside it on the cashiers LCD screen.

Buy 114 @ 0.54 = $61.56 + tax use the $60 get 100AM coupon.

Total Airmiles 760 (promo) + 100 (coupon) + 3 (base) = 863AM

So in BC (where PST/GST) is applicable on cat food it works out to approx $0.08 per AM. So if you were to do the Gas Card thing 175 X $0.08= $14 for a $20 shell gas card.

THANKS THEADAMS for bringing this up

Yes, you can. I went to Robson store on May 10 to spend over $50 to use the 100 AM coupon. Then I went back on May 15 to spend over $100 to get 200 AM. On May 10, the cashier even gave me back the coupon to use it again though I can easily get it from their flyer. Just like their AM promotions on the products. One time I bought 4 bottles of sports drink. Then once I unloaded the bags, I went back to buy 4 more. And they all show up in my AM online statement.

I spent $104 after taxes and I don't think I will have problem getting the 200 AM. Few years ago when they had the 250 AM for $100, I spent $102 and $101 and got my AM 3 weeks later.

The receipt will always shows "Bonus Airmile 1" on. It never shows the actual 100 AM or 50 AM or whatever. That's why it's very IMPORTANT to keep your receipt if they don't show up 10 weeks later or longer. Last May I spent over $100 but never got my 100 AM. I called them in Feb. and they gave me back. Now I am still waiting for the 100 AM I should earn from Oct purchase. I will give them a call before end of this week.

Buy 6 Whiskas Tender Bits for $0.63 each get 40 Bonus airmiles for $3.87 (9 cents per mile.) Thank theadams for pointing out this deal that I missed. Must be the Jet lag!! From my trip.
Or Whiskas Tender Cuts for $0.64 each or mix and match with other higher price items with the Mars Canada event. No picture of the items in the flyer. But the flyer has Whiskas products but the airmiles tear card doesn't have the Tenders as one of the products with the deal. But it does say they are part of the deal on the check out screen.

I was in my store in Coquitlam (The largest Safeway store in Canada talking about sq feet) but they do have them in stock. But if they are out of stock at your store you can get a rain check for this items. But make sure they write down the right price plus write down that when you buy 6 you get 40 bonus airmiles. If you don't have this written on the rain check you will not get the airmiles. And when you buy them with the rain check you will have to go to CS and get them to add the missing Airmiles in the white book. And it takes about 2 months for the airmiles to appear in your account from the white book.

I brought 18 packs today for 120 airmiles and no I'm not getting a Shell Gas card. It's a bad deal for me.

Thanks again theadams.

I can't convince myself to buy those as I don't have a cat and would be pure waste. Could donate it as someone else mentioned but will pass on it. Stock seems to be fairly low on the shelfs to get out there and buy dozens of it without going to customer service desk to do a bulk/special order.

I found where they put the fruit bar thing with the 10 airmiles coupon and I have been using it once or twice per store today and yesterday. There are quite a few Safeways in Edmonton and I used it 8 times since yesterday in four stores. I'm confident I will get my air miles but am I overdoing it?

I looked for these cat treats at the store I shop at (Maple Ridge) and I saw some pouches on sale for $0.64 but the shelf label for the Airmiles promo states that it's buy 6 of the 180g Whiskas Temptations treats. I don't think those ones are $0.64 each, so I didn't want to risk buying 6 and not getting the am's.

They are marked with a blue price tag at my store.

theadams
May 21st, 2009, 10:49 PM
they are marked with the blue tags at my store as well, along with a bunch of other Whiskas products that aren't the product and size specifically mentioned on the card. Things such as large cans of catfood, catmilk etc.

I bought 24 pouches today, (all that was on the shelf) I do have 2 cats so they will get used. I noticed that they clearly came up on the cashiers LCD screen as participating in the Mars event.

We'll see about the airmiles but I'm pretty confident they will go through okay. Good idea about taking a picture of the tag. I did that once a long time ago over some kraft dinner and I argued and got my airmiles based on the picture I took. In that case the product was clearly tagged wrong and definitely was not part of the event but because I had the picture I got my 700 airmiles.

I went and got 48 pouches...
as they were being scanned, it showed as being part of the Mars event on the screen, so I asked the cashier

she had no idea if they were part of the buy 6 get 40 but she said as long as I kept the receipt and they were tagged that way, I should get the miles. she even told me some guy before was missing 1000 AMs in a previous event and he kept the receipt AND the price tag and he got the miles back. She said I should take the tag (the blue tag with the "airmiles event" on top) to make sure I get my miles. The pouches clearly had the "airmiles event" tag and the wording "$0.64, whiskas pouches, mars event item" so I think we should be OK.

Sorry for the newbie Air Miles questions (if you don't want to read my preamble they're at the bottom), but since we've moved away from Safeway we've sort of been out of the Air Miles loop (Superstore is much closer and cheaper).

But I want to get back on the Air Miles wagon, and it seems to me well worth a trip to the closest Safeway when stuff we actually use is on sale and bundled with bonus miles. Hmmm.. pay with the PC Mastercard and earn PC Points too... :P

What I'm wondering about is how stuff is bundled together. All the fine print always talks about not being valid with other offers, etc....

Based on my read of this thread, my take is:

1) You can do as many "bonus offers" as you like? (e.g.: If I want to stock up on cereal for the next eight years I could buy 20 jumbo Kelloggs boxes and pocket 400 AM?)

2) It appears point-value coupons bundle with the bonus miles (i.e: the 100 for $100 coupon this week -- please tell me if I'm wrong on that), but do multiplier coupons, like that 7x deal, work with the bonus miles? Or will it just 7x-multiply the "base Air Miles." (EDIT: I see that's a pharmacy thing, but still curious how it works in principle, because I have seen those multiplier deals in the past) An Air Mile is an Air Mile, but it's nice to know what to expect

Also, huge thanks to TYinYVR for keeping up a thread like this. This is RFD at its best -- great information about legitimate deals. With this info maybe we'll be able to use miles for an overseas trip in the next few years (would be our first time using them for any sort of travel...)

You don't have to tell me that RCSS is cheaper than Safeway.

As I don't do or have never done all of my shopping at Safeway.

Question #1 Yes you can buy 20 boxes of Cereals and get 400 AMs. (Sometimes Safeway limits the amount of the items at the sale price. But it's usually well marked in the flyer and in store. Most of the airmiles deals are unlimited.)

Question #2 The multiply coupons are based on the base AMs only. 1 AM for $20. The coupons have no effect on your bonus AMs in that transaction. And I believe it's one bonus coupon per transaction. So use the coupon that will give you the most airmiles for that transaction. And always the spend value is before taxes.

Another newbie question ... if I have say a coupon for $1 off the purchase of scotties facial tissue, can I use the $1 off coupon & buy the 3 packages & still get my 75 airmiles? Or does using the $1 off coupon void the whole thing?

I missed out on some sweet deals last week with the 150 AM for Kashi cereal or 100 AM for Kelloggs - but with just the two of us in the house, neither of us being big cereal eaters, I guess it's ok that I missed out !! :(

Thanks again for the thread, very helpful ! :)

You can use coupons to get the miles..
last week for the swiffer deals, I got one duster starter kit + one sweeper refill (3.99 + 3.99, Buy 2 get 20 AMs) and used a $5 Coupon...it still works as long as you buy the correct products.

For this week's deals, if you are looking for batteries and you have ordered coupons from save.ca, you can also get a good deal with the 2 packs for $13.98 - $2 coupon (Save $2 when you buy 2 packs) = $11.98 for 75AMs.

Your receipt is fine. You should get the airmiles if you bought all 6 in one transaction. The receipt doesn't say anything about the bonus Airmiles. (Unless you use a coupon for the deal.) I wish the receipt would tell you how many bonus airmiles you have earned. If you watch the lcd screens at the cashier it should say buy 6 get 60 AMs. But keep your receipt until your miles show up in your account.

I dont think it will say any about the extra airmiles, unless its a coupon. Was there a blue tag on the shelf stating it was a buy 6 get 60 bonus air miles?
Just hang on to the reciept, should you not get credited. The Airmiles should appear within 2-4 weeks of purchase

The coke/powerade deal doesn't have a limit as far as I see. And you can make a special order at cs if your store doesn't have your kind in stock if you only drink one flavor. So yes you can by 60 and get 600 AMs.

You can you as many as you like. If there is a limit, it will state it in on the flyer and on the shelf. The powerade has no limit. The safeway seasoned chicked breasts and the butcher's cut pure beef burgers has a max of two each (buy 1 of each to get the 80 bonus airmiles).

I lost many AMs before. After the advice I got here in that thread, it is now awesome! Just buy each "6 bottles" in a separate one transaction! This will mostly guarantee you do not lose your miles. Sure, it was far better if we can combine the 5x,15x, 10% appreciation day coupons with that deal but I 'll play it safe. I'll not be greedy I'll buy the 6 1L bottles for $7.5 and get $7.5 back in miles and I am fully satisfied.

Hey, Ron, are you sure you will get all those AM's? I checked my statement all the time. I spent over $60 on May 10 and it didn't show the 100 AM's. OK, I know it's bonus AM and will take longer.
BUT, I spent over $100 on May 15. Instead showing 200 AM's, it only shows 100 AM's, even though the description does say "spend $50 earn 100 airmiles". I am keeping all my receipts and phone them up in a few months. I am still waiting for the 100 AM from my purchases last Oct & Nov. They gave me back one of them but I still don't have the other 100 AM and I can't tell which one they gave back to me, the one in Oct or it's the Nov? I hate it when they screw up like this.
I was at the Robson store and they still have the coupon. I am keeping a copy of the coupon in case I need to argue with them.

I was at the Robson store and they still have the coupon. I am keeping a copy of the coupon in case I need to argue with them.

+1. I had similar issues for COCACOLA event last Nov and grain bars event last Dec as well the 25x coupon from safewaymultiplyyourmiles and b100g100 coupon last january. I emailed them and told me after one month of back and forth emails to wait 120 days. ok, now 5-7 months have passed and did not get any of these fixed. I sent them again and waiting! I do not know why Safeway does not show it in the recipeit like "you have got 60 AMs" and then mostly we're relaxed instead of this mess! :mad:

Am I the only person who hasn't gotten any of the AMs from the past 2 weeks? I should be expecting like 1500AMs from 2 weeks ago..(cat food deal, cereal deal, swiffer/mr.clean deals)...and last week I also did the battery deal (2 packs, get 75AMs) but I haven't gotten ONE AM yet...

I just want to know how many people haven't gotten their AMs 2 weeks after the deals...because on the other forums I'm on, almost everyone who participated has gotten their AMs in their account already...

Wait 2 - 4 weeks (5 max) for them to show up. IF they dont appear you probably wont get them unless you argue with them.

Hey, Ron, are you sure you will get all those AM's? I checked my statement all the time. I spent over $60 on May 10 and it didn't show the 100 AM's. OK, I know it's bonus AM and will take longer.
BUT, I spent over $100 on May 15. Instead showing 200 AM's, it only shows 100 AM's, even though the description does say "spend $50 earn 100 airmiles". I am keeping all my receipts and phone them up in a few months. I am still waiting for the 100 AM from my purchases last Oct & Nov. They gave me back one of them but I still don't have the other 100 AM and I can't tell which one they gave back to me, the one in Oct or it's the Nov? I hate it when they screw up like this.
I was at the Robson store and they still have the coupon. I am keeping a copy of the coupon in case I need to argue with them.

I'm pretty sure they'll come through.. I've found Safeway to be pretty good lately with crediting the correct amount.. I keep my receipt and double check. I got credited for my May 23 spend @ McBride correctly:

23 May 09 MCBRIDE EXTREME AIR MILES 250
23 May 09 MCBRIDE NESTLE AIR MILES EVENT 80
23 May 09 MCBRIDE PUREX BATH TISSUES 100
23 May 09 MCBRIDE KASHI PRODUCTS ASSORTED 150
23 May 09 MCBRIDE MARS EVENT 40
23 May 09 MCBRIDE GROCERIES 5

625 Air Miles for $100 spend.

I don't understand why I would have to argue with them...since the items I bought are part of their airmiles deal. Other than the cat food, all the other miles should be definite...like buy 5 kelloggs cereal, get 100AMs. Those are in the flyers. But I have saved the receipts and flyers just in case.

Actually the 12 pack nestea are part of the Coke event. However they are sale priced at $5.99 for a twelve pack (I found them where they have the Gatorade/Powerade area). So you could get double dip however, I don't think it is as worth while since you can find the twelve packs on sale for $3.50.

It might be your store? I believe every store collects all the airmiles details from the transactions and send sends the info to head office in Calgary for Canada Safeway (or maybe to San Fran the head office for Safeway) Then Safeway sends the info to Armiles in Toronto. (Or Dallas the head office for Airmiles parent company). Then Airmiles sends a invoice for the cost of the airmiles to safeway.

What store did you shop at? Maybe we can compare are info if someone has shopped at the same store.

And you know people make honest mistakes like putting in the wrong code for an airmiles coupon. Or the wrong tags for items on the shelves. This year at my store I had to get them to add like 105 airmiles manually with the white book. From missed place items/tags on the shelves and wrong codes for coupons. If you have to get your airmiles manually done it takes about 2 months to appear in your account. If you have proof and record of your transaction and how many airmiles you should have. Most of the cs people are nice and sorry about the situation.

But remember I'm just like you just a Safeway Customer and have no inside info.

If you buy any gift card on CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY, do you get 10% off?

TYinYVR
Jun 4th, 2009, 07:37 PM
No Gift Cards, lotto, bus passes, or Cigs are not included. It's in the fine print.

Sometimes they have gift card airmiles deal. Like if you buy a $50 giftcard you will get 10 airmiles. Or $100 get 25 bonus airmiles. But I have not seen this deal for a while.

Always read the fine print.

I shopped at various stores depending which one has/had the extreme bonus AM coupon. Most of them are in the west side. The ones I spent over $100 are W. King Edward & Oak, MacDonald & W. Broadway, Robson, Davie, W. 4th & Vine. So far MacDonald and Robson are the ones that didn't credit my AM accounts.

One time I showed the receipt to the guy at MacDonald, he told me to call AM. Then AM asked me to call Safeway. I just hate this as I am being bounced around for their errors!

I emailed AM for 3 separate missing AM's from Safeway. One was small (23 AM) and they credited it right away. The others they told me to call Safeway (haven't yet). I assume because they are both large amounts (both are over 200 AM). I hope it doesn't end up being a PITA.

Some weeks are definately better than others. However, it takes a fair bit of effort to pay attention to all the promos, and moreso to figure out if it is in fact a good deal.

Thats why I am so grateful to TYinYVR for laying it all out for us in a nice weekly thread.

Well I don't spend over $100 every week to use the special coupon from Robson. About once a month, assuming that coupon keeps coming back for several months.

I stopped collecting and gave up on aeroplan already. If I don't use it or buy something to collect it, it just expires. A total waste of my money and effort. At least AM doesn't expire. At one time my account had over 20,000 AM and no problem if my account was inactive for a while. Now I go to Shell once a week and using my Amex card wherever I can. My AM account is always active.

Ya that 7 year point life, and inactivity closure that aerplan introducd was stupid, but neither will really affect me considering my amex, visa are both aeroplan,and i usually redeem 2-3 flights a year.

I am a gold collector with 3.5k miles each year but I have my account at zero. Every week, I just redeem what I have for HBC GC 200AM/$25 or Shell GC 175AMs/$20. I am not worried about my AMs value.

And better keep your receipt too. Until you see these AM's show up in your account, you don't get them. I talked to the service rep at the Robson store this morning and he told me to call AM. I said I called them about my Oct & Nov problems and AM asked me to call Safeway. He said the bonus miles would take longer. But my May 12 shows I only have 100 AM even though I spent over $100 and should get 200. Then he said to call 800-safeway to talk to them. I spent $51 this morning and I don't have any hope this will show and I am keeping the receipts to get ready to call them in about 6 months or so.

OCT NOV PHONE 1-800 SAFEWAY now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's passed 90 days. AFTER 90 days you can complain If you have all the right info they will give you the missing airmiles. If cs say they will give you your missing airmiles it might take around 2 months to appear in your account. It doesn't happen over night!!!!!

And you should get a MISSING MILES account post.

As I have 2 of those posts in Feb. But it took until the first week of April to appear in my account.

But if don't have your receipt and say to safeway oh yeah I shopped here on Nov 6 and you don't give me 50 airmile. They are going to say show us proof. I printed my statement from airmiles.ca and took it and my receipt. And it took like 2 min to show them what airmiles I recieved and explained what airmiles I should have got and she said. Yeah you should have got this amount" And I agree. She took my info and added the missing airmiles to my account.

And Remember 2 bonus coupons can't be used together on the same transaction. Like the 100 airmiles for $50 coupon and a X your base airmiles coupon or the spend $100 get 100 airmiles coupon.

I called them back in Feb. And they gave me 100 AM back. But I can't tell that 100 is from Oct or Nov. When I was on the phone, I mentioned about the Nov purchase and she knew about it. Now it's June and nothing happens. Believe me, I have all the receipts every time I use that kind of bonus AM. I just don't trust them to properly credit my account.

Back last Nov. when I didn't see my Oct purchase, I went back to the MacDonald store and showed the guy everything. He told me to call AM. He said my receipt shows it's been scanned. When I emailed AM, they told me to call Safeway. No one likes to take responsibility these days. I have all the proof and yet they were bouncing me around!

I'm missing 90 AMs from one transaction and 30 from another. I tried using the email form online at the AMs website but it's not working. Should I give them a call during the weekday or should I call Safeway?

BTW, this was for the Mr.Clean promo 2 weeks ago...Buy 2 Mr. Clean products, get 30AMs. I had gotten 4 products (2 sets) for one transaction but only 30AMs showed up. And for the other one, I had gotten 5 sets (10 mr.clean) and only 60AMs showed up..

weird how everything else came out okay except for the Mr.Clean promo. Did anyone have this problem?

TYinYVR

I believe your best result is to print out your statement for that date and take your receipt to the store that you brought the items from and talk to cs in the store.

Always make sure you buy the right size and variety as I know that not all the Mr Clean items weren't a part of the deal. And sometimes the airmiles price tags are placed under the wrong items. This has happen to me. But I figured it out when no airmiles showed up on the cashier screen. I got cs to give me the miles for the product that I brought and I also made them fix the price tag for other people.

But if you phone Safeway they will just tell you to wait 90 days as some of the deals are slower. I'm sure you will get a better result by going into the store.

Good Luck.

Guys that is getting ugly! How come we are missing these huge miles ... The minimum I expect is to show instantly in the receipt that I will be credit these miles... Many of us are waiting for 6 months now to receive their miles. I was thinking I am the only one who are missing 250 miles, it seems many have the same problems.

I have complaints:
1)Is that fair not to see any word in your receipt that you have got these xx miles in the transaction? Does that need a complex x^n program to do it? It is not science? :mad:

2)Is that fair to wait for "120" days and you need to keep your tens of receipts for months waiting for your miles to show up and you need to keep asking and calling to get your miles?

I sent tens of emails to AMs program and after all these emails, I got please phone Safeway about your missing miles!!! :mad: So why you're putting this form in your site if I need to go to Safeway asking anyway!!!
https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/AccountEmailUs

If we all send them complaining I think they may find a solution!

There is a lot of time waste in this process and for this week powerade for example, if you missed one of the 60 bonus AMs, it means you "may" get it next year if you kept all of your receipts and phoned here and here and made a follow up!

I really appreciate your help TYinYVR. You helped me getting the gold collector status this year and the last two years ... without this help I never have got these huge miles. I am not suspecting the honesty of Safeway or the AM program. My main concern is the time wasted for keeping track and complaining although it can be far smoother (that is my opinion). These stupid conditions 120 days, keeping the receipts for 6 months, non-transparency of the airmiles gained (i.e. it doesn't show instantly in the receipt), are really nonsense. I expect far better service from Safeway and the AM program.

Got my airmiles from the Vector cereal promotion a couple weeks ago. Deal was buy 6 get 100 AM, on sale for $5.99.

Bought 18 boxes (will last us almost 2 months) plus some other stuff to put me over $100. Used the Spend $100 get 100AM coupon. Had the airmiles credited on Friday, 300 from Cereal, 100 from coupon, plus 5 regular miles. 405 miles!

This is the best item in the flyer this week
Buy 4 Royale Bath Tissue for $5.99 Each get 100 Bonus Airmiles for $23.96 (24 cents per mile.)


Do not forget the $1 off coupon from save.ca or gocoupons.ca which should bring it to $19.96 (20c/mile).

The last two times I've been to Safeway on Customer Appreciation Day I've had to ask to be given the 10% off. I don't know if this is just a coincidence - tellers who aren't paying attention or something else. These were both at the Sargent Safeway (Winnipeg). Really this should be automatic it shouldn't require the teller to enter anything additional. I sympathize with the people complaining about airmiles too. There's no reason they couldn't just appear on your bill right away providing an easy way to verify that they make it into your account.

I wonder if either or both of these fit under the scanning code of practice? If they advertise that you receive 10% off (or 10x airmiles) on customer appreciation day and then fail to even give you that option at checkout it's basically the same as something scanning incorrectly.

Sometimes the Air Miles errors work in your favour. I just checked my account and the Air Miles that I got on a purchase on May 28 were higher than expected. This was the deal with 100AM for buying cereal and 75 for buying Scotties tissue plus a bunch of other deals. I went through the self service checkout, and was having a problem with the 100AM for $100 purchase coupon. They guy came to help. He had to do an override to enter the coupon. He did it twice, and I was worried that neither one worked. In fact, both of them worked and I got 100 extra AM. I ended up with 472AM for that purchase!

I just got back from my local Safeway (813 11th Ave SW, Calgary, AB), and they had a cereal deal where you could get 100 AM for spending $16 on cereal. Various Kelloggs cereals (Corn Pops 345g - 375g, Rice Krispies 385g - 725g, Froot Loops 380g - 425g, Raisin Bran 675g - 775g, Frosted Flakes 485g - 525g, & Mini Wheats 540g - 725g) were 3/$8 and you get 100AM for buying 6. I am not 100% certain if every size noted above was 3/$8, since that is the listing of the back of the Bonus AM card.

So, with this deal, the Air Miles were 16 cents per Air Mile.

I didn't actually buy any, since I picked up a lot of cereal two weeks ago. I would have if I didn't already have a big stockpile of cereal.

I update the first post will the Kelloggs deal. As I really never update the first post until I see the deal myself. And yes it's in my store as well. And looks to be nationwide.

I updated the email signup link. I guess they changed the site. But it looks to me the 100 Bonus Airmiles deal is still going on.

Hey, Ron, seems like you enjoy the soft drink a lot. My doctor told me to watch my sugar level so I can't get those bonus AM. I think I will wait for another week before I can spend another $50 at Robson. The flyer for tomorrow doesn't look that good. The Purex is only 2 for 40AM. I'd like to get the Apply Pie but again need to watch my sugar. At the moment I have enough body wash. The mouthwash is weak, only 15AM. I will wait for a better promotion.

On a side note, I called Safeway to report my missing miles from my Jan purchase. Looks like I have to call each incident so they need to open an investigation. I told her about my May purchases but I have to wait after 90 days. I asked why my account has so many problems but she didn't give me a good answer.....

They changed the Robson Airmiles deal. To the Spend $40 get 50 Bonus airmiles. You will need to pick up the Key Tag in Store and this offer is good until Dec 31/09.

Might have better deals in store.

But the HD and FS cards are good as it's a normal place you don't get miles excepted very min if you use an AM credit card.

Thanks for the update, TY. Oh, it sucks when Robson store changed their bonus coupon. Was planning to go next week. But now their gift card deal is not too bad and thinking to go today. Just sucks big time!

Can I just buy the $50 gift card and then use the 50 AM coupon since it's over $40? Maybe I will go there to find out myself today......

Don't forget the levy and deposit for the bottled water so the costs would be higher (especially if you don't bother to bring the empty bottles back for refund). And you need to buy 72 bottles to get the 80. That's a lot of bottles.....

Usually GC don't count towards the spend... get .... bonus airmiles offers. Unless the offer is for a GC. Like the HD/FS offer. And usually it's one bonus offer per transaction.:(

Always assume the offer will end on Saturday. It may come back but it's probably gone for good.

I do this thread for people all across Western Canadian. Each prov has their own bottle deposits and taxes. That is why I never include the final cost. You can determined your final cost and if it's really worth it for u. If I was just talking to people in BC I would probably give the final cost.

First post on this thread and I hope I don't tread on any toes. Aplogies if I do.

A little over 15,000 at the moment.

But I don't use the Spend 100 get 100 AM coupons

I only spend between $20-25 a week at Safeway.

There's a good way around this.

I notice most here people calculate how much each AM costs you, eg, $0.67/AM.

I'd like to suggest a different method that I wrote several articles on a few years back: averaging. This will allow you to comparison shop better.

Basically, I added up all the gift cards/coupons and divided that by the number of AirMiles needed to purchase them. Shell Gas coupons are the worst at $0.1143/AM while 2 for 1 movie tickets come in around $0.33-$0.40 depending on where you live. Most restaurant/product cards are around $0.125 and magazine subscriptions (based on the lowest advertised prices) are are around $0.175/AM

This gives an average value for an AirMile at $0.14

The difficulty with the method I see used here is that it doesn't tell me if I'm spending wisely. eg, a high priced product with few AirMiles might be a better deal if you use the product than buying a product you don't use that gives you lots of AirMiles for low cost.

Safeway sells product A for $10 and has a B2G50AM special

Save-On sells product A for $8

Save-On is cheaper but which is the better offer?

With averaging 50AMs = 50 x $0.14 = $7/2 = $3.50 effective value elsewhere per item. Safeway comes in at $10 - $3.50 = $6.50 effectively. (Of course this ignore Save-On's own point system).

Now, how does this relate to the quote above about spending small amounts only at Safeway?

Think larger, think charity. Many food banks will give a charitable tax receipt if you submit items with the cashier's receipt.

Under the current economy especially it's been possible to be paid to shop at Safeway. Last week had you bought the 1 litre offer of Coke you got more value in AirMiles than it cost you to buy the product. The week before if you had coupons the same thing occurred on Kashi cereal. But even without the coupons you could be ahead.

This week it's Eggos B5G60 at $2 each

5 = $10 but you get 60AMs (x $0.14) = $8.40 effectively.

Donating that to the food bank gets you a potential tax refund of $5. So:

Spend $10 = $5 + $8.40 effective value elsewhere.

Being creative and supposing the 100AM bonus was in place and a 5Xs base mile offer (they're not but it does occur other times). Donate to charity:

Spend $100 = $50 + $84 + $14 (100AMs) + $3.50 base miles = $151.50 effective value elsewhere. You'd also pick up a few AMs on your credit card.

As to the question about the HD/FS coupons:

They say $500 maximum spend on the coupons.

Twice yesterday I bought a $50 and a $100 HD card. I was awaraded 50 + 100 AMs each time. As we are renovating I'll buy a few more and hey don't forget the federal rebate on renos.

Hope this is of help.

Many of us on another site collected $1 Eggo coupons in advance as this is a fairly regular offer. For us each box = $1 so we get:

5 = $5 but with 60AMs (x $0.14) = $8.40 effectively.

If we keep the product we're being paid to shop. If we bulk buy for charity...well!

Extra little trick:

I'm self-employed. I use AMs to buy restaurant gift cards then use them when travelling on business for tax receipts.

Note: While the average value of an AM is around $0.14 if you buy AMs from AirMiles they sell them to you for $0.30. If you donate AMs to charity you should be able to justify valuing your donation at $0.30/AM.

Hey

I spend $20-25 a week because that is what I want to spend a week.

I Donate Stuff to the Food Bank when I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or when I don't need the items. And it's a good price for the miles. And BTW the Food Bank will not take EGGO waffles. Or other frozen stuff.

I been donating stuff to the food bank for like 10 years. Long before the airmiles.ca said it's a win-win.

I been to other sites and I have even found my user name quoted as where the op has found the info.

This thread is only 6 month old. My other thread that I gave up on was like 2 years old. But I stopped for about 6 months last year because all the replies were I wish they would bring back the bread deal. Or these deals are bad.

I don't get anything for doing this thread. I don't work for Safeway. And I'm the first person to say Safeway's regular price items are way over priced. I never buy anything at regular price at Safeway. My Safeway is across the street from a RCSS, beside a SAVE ON FOODS, TNT is a Block away, and another Asian Supermarket is next door to TNT. A Thrifty Foods and IGA is about a 5 min walk from my home. While Safeway is about a 20 min walk from me. I have choices in where I shop. And that is why I only spend that amount at Safeway each week.

But I know people who work at Safeway come and read my thread each and every week. To find the best AM items.

I post all the item here because I know I will never use them. But other people will. And I happy to heard stories from people who have told me with the help from my thread they have taken vacations or have got different items for their families.

If you go back to Jan-Feb on this thread you will find people here collecting the eggo coupons 2.

And at the airmiles.ca the GC are the worst redeem values on the whole site. Redeeming for travel is your best value. But I know it takes a while to get enough miles for the travel. The GC are easy to get. And cost Airmiles parent company the least.

Ty,

Sorry, you seem to totally misunderstood my post/intentions.

I think you're doing a wonderful/terrific job. I'm enjoying what you've done and very, very definitely was not saying you are doing the wrong thing.

I'm just offering another way to look at it to augment.

NO CRITICISM OF YOU WHATSOEVER IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM (not shouting, just stressing). ;)

Your thread and I'm not trying to take it over.

Just looking at the issue from a different direction. Real world example to see just how well someone might do:

Shell Gas coupon last time I looked was 175AMs = $20 coupon.

That gives an actual value of $0.1143/AM purchasing power.

Just looking to see what you're actually achieving with the Eggos:

$10 = 60 x $0.1143 = $6.86 purchasing power at Shell

If you have the coupons great then (I didn't say people here didn't):

$5 = 60 x $0.1143 = $6.86 purchasing power at Shell (you're being paid to shop).

And yes, one thing I thought of later was to say, check with your food bank first to see if they:

a. take the product
b. offer a tax receipt (not all do)

Not specifically saying donate Eggos. It's the thought process I was talking about.

The reference to $20-$25 was not specifically directed at you (and especially not as a criticism) but rather that if people in general see this as a problem in collecting AirMiles this is an option to consider if they hadn't thought of it yet.

It was offered generously but it seems you've jumped to a conclusion that definitely was not there.

You sure know how to make a guy feel welcome. ;)

Thanks Hor,

Seems to me that one comes up more than once a year.

I didn't realize until too late that $0.56 items were included. I went into Safeway late Saturday night on my way to a gig as people had started talking about it. I'll load up next time for sure.

My sense is the current economy is part of the reason we're seeing this amount. Some items like pet food people have really cut back on and the manufacturers are trying to clear back-logged stock.

We'll have to take advantage while we can.

Bought Best Western gift cards for lodging and meals for the August long weekend this morning. Phoned the hotel directly and negotiated the price down a bit too rather than use AMs up booking through the site. I don't know for sure but assume I get a better deal doing it that way.

What are people's thoughts on booking cruises, trips through Marlin with gift certificates rather than through AirMiles website? A lot of people must be doing it as they've recently put an 8 x $50 certificate limit per person on it.

didnt know about the Marlin GCs as never cared to look....have 7500 AM so wanted to book a cruise...wonder if it is 8 per AM card or 16 for 2 people, etc
3080 AM = $400 = 12.98 cents per am...
on the cruise specials 2900 am = $400 = 13.79 cents per am and better
on regular it is approx 14 cents per so it depends on the deal one can get through marlin...

Operabob

Yes, it's a maximum $400/person.

As for cruises, if you go through the AirMiles site I think you're restricted to Carnival (which I don't like) or Holland.

My feeling is if you use Airmiles to book you're paying based on full company advertised rate.

If you go through Marlin (or it's 2 eastern sisters) they are dealing with bulk suppliers and sell the same cruises at a discount. Even if Marlin isn't advertising a particular cruise you can take someone else's special to them and my experience is they'll get the same price for you.

Also, by going through Marlin you access a lot more lines than just Carnival or Holland.

We'll probably subsidize another cruise with AMs soon. The prices right now are incredible.

Wal mart sells them for 3 bucks I think.. would rather use it with airmiles but I don't think these big boxes go on sale with AM at safeway. I looked quickly and You would have to buy 3 boxes of the big boxes of cereal not on sale to get enough coupon.. didnt do the math but it doesnt seem worth it to buy the cereal boxes just for the coupon. If someones cares to investigate more im always on the look out for a great deal.

wil,

Safeway tends to alternate small boxes with big boxes as an AirMile special so the $2 coupons should be applicable in the near future.

Not word of fact but if I recall correctly the small box offering with $1 coupons works out better than the large box with $2. Could be wrong though.

Tx OB.. I wasn't aware of the smaller boxes with coupons. I'll have to look at my store if there is a deal potential.. buying a bunch of small boxes with the AM deal.. and then using the coupons from those to buy discounted items with coupons for AM.

The large eggo 12 count boxes don't usually have AMs deals. The Jumbo boxes of 48 count do.

just curious how many AMs do u guys have??? im so jealous i can't get in on these bonus AMs/coupon offers since we have NO safeways in toronto!!! RFDers please email safeway HO and petition them to open shop in TO!!! :idea::?:


http://www.safeway.ca/default.asp?page=contact

I've earned over 3000 alone from Safeway so far this year with all the bonus offers. I use the Amex Airmiles Plat. to get 1AM for $10 spent there and elsewhere. But if I take away Safeway and Amex I'd probably have only earned about 100 AM this whole year. Suffice it to say, it's a good thing.

Got a letter from MasterCard yesterday.

I have a free $US MasterCard to save on exchange when I make purchases in the US. (Bought a lot when we were at $1.04-$1.07. Sold a lot when we dropped back to $0.77 and bought back in when we were above $0.90 last week or two).

Letter says the previous 1AM/$40 is now 1AM/$20 on free cards.

I assume this will be the same for the $Canuck MC.

Like you I have the $50 Platinum AMEX and use it at Safeway.

One thing I experimented with awhile back is whether it was an advantage on 10%/10X Base AirMiles customer appreciation day.

You're always better off taking 10% off based on the average price of $0.14/AM rather than 10Xs base miles.

With the Platinum Card paying 1AM/$10 if that was base then 10Xs is better, however, turns out regardless of credit card 10Xs base miles is always based on 1AM/$20 spent.

BTW: There is a trick to helping you preplan your shopping at Safeway. I've sent it to a couple of people here that contacted me through the site. There's a reason for not posting it here but if you're interested contact me through the site and I'll send it to you. If that sounds too dark and serious from a stranger would the two I sent it to please verify that this is not some sleazy gimmick on my part.

ck,

I assume this is directed at me being a new person and all:

It would be a shame if TYinYVR stops posting because of someone feels the need to butt in.

While I have been consistently civil despite comments otherwise directed my way I am now offended.

I don't know how it's butting in but if that is the case so be it.

My experience of all other boards is that all contributors posts, as long as they are civil and not demeaning should be freely expressed.

While I have offered information in what I assumed would an exchange of info among all members helping each other apparently this is a private thread with only one person allowed to dispense information while all others are required to listen.

I did send the trick to him/her in the true spirit of friendship assuming he'd misinterpreted my original post but received quite the reply. What surprised me was that he/she knew the trick but apparently most of the people who emailed me from this site didn't having not been given the information. I also received a lot of other emails concerning this thread and its politics.

So as you're offended I'm quite willing to leave.

However, if you're a democratic person who believes in a free exchange of ideas and a pay it forward mentality where people help each other then Google my name and you'll find another AirMiles thread where all contribute and people treat each other respectfully.

As a matter of fact, I appreciate all posters on the board that post deals to be had by all. What I have a problem with is that you seem to need the acknowledgement and a pat on the back for doing this. If the world worked that way, then who would volunteer any of their time to charities or other worthwhile community activities? The way that you blast people for "butting in" appears to be very childish and selfish.

Ty,


OB you wanted me to thank you for info I have already known about for a year and a half.

Please take this without offence.

I did not ask you to thank me. I never expect anyone to thank me openly.

What I did, out of respect for your apparent position on this thread was to send you some info that regardless of whether you already knew it was based on the following:

1. I had indicated I had some information I was willing to share with others. (BTW: Of the 20 or so that contacted me only 2 knew it).

2. I requested people contact me off board.

3. I had only been here 2 days.

As a healthily skeptical person if I had read that myself from the other side I'd view it with suspicion. Recognizing that and viewing you as the "leader" of this thread I sent it to you so others could use you for confirmation that I was legitimate and was not trying to scam people.

I hold no animosity towards yourself and truly hope we can start afresh from this point.

I am a very generous person with my time and very much subscribe to the idea on the Internet that if I help you, you'll help me or someone else and somewhere along we'll all get paid back.

I'm involved in several other sites that operate under that premise and I'm always floored by the gifts I've received in the mail from people who haven't thanked me publicly. I did a favour for someone online a few weeks back and the other day received a Tim Horton's gift card in the mail (my favourite form of thanks BTW). Totally unexpected and definitely not asked for but it happens often.

So lets you and I get working "together" with everyone else so we all win.

B$100G100AMs (approx. $14).

Oh, and I'll say this as we start anew:

I have never, ever copied and pasted any of your words/works in any form. Until 3 days ago I'd never heard of you.

I have however, as a contributing editor of a national financial magazine complained to AirMiles for taking what I am sure are some of my writings and using them on their site. I did not ask for payment only that they credit my first name.

OK Ty,

Hey, OB...I'm wondering about this. Since you don't actually have proof that you "paid" for these meals, how is it possible to write them off? I ask this from a bookkeeping point of view. Is the meal considered a cash purchase? Even though the receipt most likely indicates payment via gift card? Is that good enough for the CRA? Just wondering!

Question perhaps someone here can help with.

As I said, while already a member of RFD, I only came across this wonderful thread after Googling: Safeway, AirMiles and Bigfootinteractive.

Perhaps old hat to some BFI sends out the special Safeway AirMiles coupons like the B$60G100AM coupons, etc.

BFI as a marketing company now appears to be a subsidiary of Epsilon.com

You can't contact BFI by email and the people I've talked to at AirMiles don't seem to know how to get people on that particular email list. You can email Epsilon at info@epsilon.com but they haven't responded.

Those of you that have received these emails any idea how you got on the list?

No cat food this coming week but more cereal again (do you need more?).

In direct response though to the person who asked about the $2 coupons on the large boxes of Eggos well they are up again next week as part of a:

B5G75 ($10.60 average AM value total or $2.10/item)

Eggos 1240-1680g $8.99

If you have the $2 coupons and if they apply to this offer then effectively you're paying:

$8.99 - $2 coupon - $$2.10 = $4.89 each

This is taken from another site I'm at from 2 posters. I did wonder about the $2 and if the first person could use them but it might help some of you Saturday shoppers:

The first post comes from someone who works for a food bank. Second post is a response to her:

I was so focused on the eggos that I just realized that there's an even better deal.

I just realized Rice Crispy Squares at 2 for $5 are part of the B5G60 air miles.

So I've cut all my coupons out of the cereal and I'm off to buy some to donate. The coupons are $2. Same for straws but our straws are set to clear for $1.94 so I suspect they won't take the $2 coupon.

So buy 6, 3*5 - coupon (6*2)= $3
Collect airmiles = 60*.12 (we'll do it for gas this week LOL)= $7.20
Get to go to the gas station each time for free gas!

No it someone has enough to do this 33x they could get to $100 and get the bonus. Good luck with that one LOL.

But you could use the $2 off purchases from the Prostate cancer flyer IF you get to 20. So 7 batches of the above in straws and rice crispies. That's still alot of coupons.

At 7 batches you would get $29.40 in free gas and pay $19 for all those boxes of Kellogg's convenience food. Yikes!!




I bought 4 boxes of Raisin Bran (2/$5) and I had my $2 coupons. As well, I got a box of Rice Krispies Squares. Total: $12.5- $2 X 5 = $2.5 for 60 bonus airmiles

60AM = $8.40 Average

The 16 pack eggo boxes are never of part of the airmiles deals. Only the 8 packs or the Jumbo 48 packs.

If I was you I would use the coupon when you can get the best sale price either at Safeway or another store.

The 48 pack is on the Kelloggs bonus but it's $8.99 even with the coupon it's not that great!!! And I never scene a coupon for a Jumbo pack anywhere. I could be mistaken. :cheesygri:cheesygri

There was a coupon that was put out back in early 2009 for Eggos any size...but it's only $1 off. I personally would hold off buying the Jumbo packs even with $1 off and Airmiles. Sometimes the 8 or 12 packs go on sale at RCSS or WM for $1 a box and I can use those coupons to get the Eggos for free!

The bread costs $1.59 each or $7.95 for 50 AMs. (16 cents a miles)

------

Spin your deals all you want. If you go to walmart or whatever. This is why I don't post all the deals in the flyer.

The pamper deal is a ok deal if you're buying pampers but if you are just buying them for the airmiles stay away from it. 80 AM for $30.00 it 37 cents a mile.

Then the Olivieri Fresh Sauces/pasta deal buy 4 for 30 am at $4.59 each $18.36 it's 61 cents a mile. 91 cents a mile if you only buy 2 and you only get 10 AMs.

I only post the best items. Not every item. A lot of the deals are ok if your planing to buy that item that week. But I wouldn't touch this item if you are just looking to add to my AM account Balance .

It's cheaper to just go and buy Airmiles from Airmile.ca for 30 cents each.

http://www.safeway.ca/wk25_fuel.html

On Safeway website, it says "Double your discount everytime you spend $35 on groceries in a single transaction with you club card."

What does this new promotion mean and how it works?

I bought for over $35 at Safeway Sunday and my receipt said i got a 7 cents off per Litre at the gas station.

I'm pretty sure it means after you use the 7 cents off discount, buy for $35 or more and you will receive another discount of double your regular 3.5 cents off discount.

I asked the clerk about the powerpump and she said that the 7 cents off was it. In fact she couldn't explain to me why or what the change was.

Eggos are back this week. If you are not sick of them already from two weeks ago.
Buy 5 Eggo waffles, pancakes, or French Toast for $2.33 each buy 5 for $11.65 get 60 airmiles (19 cents per mile.) They were $2.00 each two weeks ago.
Part of the Kelloggs Mix and Match Event with higher prices items.
I don't assume everyone have coupons but if you do the prices will be better.
-----
Buy 3 method clean products starting at $2.99 each buy 3 get 40 Bonus Airmiles for $8.97 (22 cents per mile)
In the ad it doesn't say what product is $2.99.
I will update the product once I go in store.
-----
Buy 6 Degree Deodorant for $1.99 or Aquafresh Toothpaste for $2.00 get 45 Bonus airmiles for $12.00 (26 cents per mile)
Part of the personal Care mix and match event where you can also buy 3 and get 15 bonus airmile. (40 cents per mile see the difference)
-----
And the only one coupon that I would use in the not really super Flyer Am Coupon is this one:
http://safeway.ca.inserts2online.com/SafewaySafeway06282009Canada/breakouts/b513083_6.jpg
------
4 addition airmiles coupons for produce

Buy (2) Strawberries 4 lb. Boxes get 50 Bonus airmiles
Buy (2) Del Monte Gold Pineapple Earn 30 Bonus Airmiles
Buy (2) Raspberries Earn 20 Bonus Airmiles.
Buy (2) Romaine Lettuce Earn 20 Bonus Airmiles.


Get the coupons here (http://f.chtah.com/i/0/2068055018/emaildirect_26_2009.pdf) in a pdf file.
-----

If you want to spend over 30 cent a mile buy the pamper deal (37 cents) or the Kashi Cereal deal (34 cents). Like I always say this is a lot more airmiles deals in the flyer and only good if you are going to by the product anyways.
As you can buy airmiles for Airmiles.ca for 30 cents each.

I will update this post once I go into Safeway with price and any better deals I find in store. It's an avg week nothing really to write home about.

Hopefully next week is better.

Drove all the way from Vancouver to New West this morning to use the 250 AM for $100 coupon at the McBride store. Didn't realize they have the email coupons for pineapple as I bought 2. I guess I will have to go back and ask for the AM with the coupon. The strawberry at their store is buy one get one free at $2.99 each. I don't think it's the 4 pound packs so I don't think I can get the AM. But at least I should ask for the 30 AM from the pineapples.

Other than the apple juice 50 AM coupon, I also use the toilet paper 50AM coupon.

Rats! Just check my AM account. They didn't credit me the bonus AM from the gift cards I purchased. They only credited me the 2AM per $20 store purchase. I just hate it that they keep screwing up my account!

I am keeping the receipt from today for my 250 AM and start counting 90 days and I will have to call them again. What a hassle!

A few weeks back, Safeway had something like buy 4 Jello/Pudding @ $2.50 and get 50 Airmiles. However, they stacked Safeway's brand with Jell-O's brand on the same shelf and at the same sales price. I didn't notice that until recently when I inquired about my missing Airmiles from Safeway.

Lesson learned...again. Must check & double check.

Some of the bonus airmiles take longer than others. and I don't think anyone has got the GC bonus miles yet.

10-14 days after the offer ends is the usually wait time for safeway airmiles.

I found an spend $100 get 100 bonus airmiles coupon on the airmiles sign in the west doorway of my store (Sunwood Square in Coquitlam BC). And should be at every store. But it's only good wednesday to Saturday this week. July 1st to July 4th.

At my store I could only find strawberries in a 1 pound container.

Just checked my AM account now and the bonus AM's from the gift cards are in. Some other people have said theirs were up as well.

Now it's been over 30 days from the couple purchases I made at the Robson store and still waiting. I am pretty sure I have to call them up about them in another 2 months.

Yeah, I just noticed my airmiles toolbar balance change also to reflect the GC's. I was thinking I had to go back because one of the $100 cards I picked up, the cashier mistakenly scanned the 50pts coupon, but it was credited as $100 regardless so that cleared that up.

I had the same comment about all the Coke purchases Ron made. But he said he also bought bottled water and I notice sports drink is include as well. So tasamy also bought other drinks as well.

Glad Robson store brings back that extreme AM coupon. I don't want to drive all the way to New West and it's somewhat difficult to spend $100 if I don't need all the toilet paper, body wash, soap, etc.

TYinYVR
Jul 5th, 2009, 11:07 AM
I changed the link for the email coupons.

I don't know if they will take original coupon.

There is probably going to be a notice sent to every Safeway store about the mistake.

You can always try. But then again the cashier might take it. But it might not show up on your statement. Then you have to wait 90 days to talk to Safeways CS about it. In the end they will probably give you the airmiles but it will probably take about 6 months and 20 phone calls to get them.

Or if the cashier takes it, it could just show up with no problem on your statement after the normal 10 days - 2 weeks period with no problem at all. I really don`t know.

If I was Safeway or Safeway's emailer and made a mistake I would take the original link down. But it's still active.

I almost forgot to tell you Tuesday the 7th is July`s Customer Appreciation Day.
Spend $35 dollars and get 10% off or 10 X the base Air Miles offer of 1 am for $20 spend. So you can get 10 am for $20 or 20 am for $40.
But most people take the 10% your bill. As it it usually the better deal.
The deal doesn`t include GC or the normal exceptions.

But if you read the fine print you can spend only $40 and get 5X your airmiles (So 10 bonus AM at $40, 15 at $60, 20 at $80, 50 at $100, 60 at $120 etc...)

I know the extreme AM deal in New West was confirmed as of last week and the flyer is still off line at Safeway's website. So that maybe a sign the deal is still going on.

I don't think it's still on. The last 2 weeks the extreme AM page was wrapped around the regular flyer that came in my local paper and there wasn't one this week. Just the regular flyer. Not a guarantee but that gives me doubts.

But if you read the fine print you can spend only $40 and get 5X your airmiles (So 10 bonus AM at $40, 15 at $60, 20 at $80, 50 at $100, 60 at $120 etc...)


One thing - the coupon I had said "Ask Customer Service" about the "spend $40, get 5x the AirMiles" thing, and the CS desk at my Safeway knew nothing about it. Then my cashier knew nothing about it (my total came to $61, and when I gave her the coupon, she said somewhat condescendingly "You're a bit short, dear.") Theoretically the AirMiles will be added automatically after they swipe the coupon ... let's hope so!

I don't think that there is any limit on Airmiles you can get, however some items may have a limit of 1 per customer per transaction. The emaildirect coupons usually have a "limit of 1 per customer per transaction" written on them. If thats the case you just go do multiple transactions.

It says on the coupon in small print "spend $40, get 5x the AirMiles". They may be unaware of the promo coupon, but if they scanned it, you should get it.

There is no limit on the Oasis juice. And you can buy 4 or 6 or what ever the amount you want and you should get the correct bonus in one transaction.

I got lucky, I found a bunch with 75c off coupons stuck onto the cartons :D

Bought 6 (only found 5 with coupons), but still $21 - 3.75 = $17.25 for 6, not too shabby drops it down to approx 11.5c/mile. Not sure about the 5x for spending $40. The cashier tried to scan it a few times but it kept complaining that "Minimum purchase requirement not met". The manager tried overriding it but they're not sure if it will post.

Expiry dates at my store varied from August - October.

I went to safeway just a few minutes ago here in Northern BC. Thought I had the same deal as you but on the little flyer thing that stands out from the shelf it says you have to buy 4 in order to get 30 airmiles. :-( I hope it was just this store and that you guys can get it for each drink.

Here is a situation that I could use some help with to see if its SCOP worthy. The customer service lady was on a hour lunch break so I couldn't even talk to anyone at that point but I took evidence.

So I went into Safeway, picked up two 500g Butchers Cut Weiners. They were supposed to be on sale from 5.49 down to 3.99. I also picked up a 24 case of Pepsi which the tag said 10.78 down to 6.99.

My girlfriend also picked up two 500g Butchers Cut Weiners at a seperate cashier.

Get out in the car, check the receipts. Pepsi was 10.78 and weiners were 5.49 each on both receipts. lol maybe I should pay more attention when its being rang up.

Went back in, looked at the pepsi tags. They all say they expire July 11th. I guess they forgot to take off the 10 tags from last week. The Butchers cut weiners were diffently right to be on sale for 3.99 and expire July 18th. I took a copy of each of the tags and went straigt to customer service but the lady is on her lunch break.

Just thought I would run this situation by you guys.

The price I found was $3.99 each for the 500g package so it $7.98 for 2 with the coupon for 50 Air Miles. ( 16 cent per mile.) If it's mark down it's probably old so take that into consideration before you buy them.:cheesygri

Easiest way to check is to go to the self checkout:

2) scan monster energy drink
3) see what it rings up as. If it is an AM promo, it will say buy 1 get 30AM or buy 4 get 30AM.

I'm pretty sure there are only 2 promos as well nation wide and they are the two TY listed. One of the cans had a buy four get 30 AM and the 3 other flavours had a misleading "award 30 AM" or something. One of the four pack also had a misleading sign saying award 40 AM but there was also another big sign they use for AM promotions clearly saying buy 2 4-packs get 40 AM. I didn't want to have to fight it so I just went with what the listed promotions were saying.

I'm still not worried. I have my pictures from my store. And nowhere does it say I have to buy 4 to get 30 AMs. Is it my fault if someone screwed up? Even before I brought it I took it to the cashier and had it scanned. On the screen it said 30 bonus airmiles. You know if it had said buy 4 get 30 am on the screen. I would told them you should have more info on the shelves because it looks like you only have to buy 1 if you look at the price tag. I paid my money. And I should get what the sign says. :lol:

If that is the offer. And it does sound like a normal Safeway AMs offer. Nowhere in my store does it say you have to but 4 to get the 30am. They are misleading customers at my store. By not telling people that they have to buy 4.

Since Tuesday when I brought the item myself. If it scans different I will talk to cs. And I have the cashier as my witness from Tuesday.

Cool. Thank you!!! I will try to get 200 AM out of it.

You will be disappointed. The PLU is the same on both coupons. You had better try for 250miles then at least you will get 100.

Just an update. Safeway honored the 2 Breads for 50 AM. I received mine tonight.

Ok yesterday I went and scanned the same can that I did on Tuesday.

It came up as buy 4 get 30 am. And she told I guess they changed the offer.

But I talked to 3 other people in the store and I told them what came up on Tuesday. They said Safeway should honor your purchase (On Tuesday not yesterday) and give you your air miles with no problem. As it was a error on their part. And they fixed it. Probably once they notice the spike of sales for the product.

When did they change the offer? How about after Tuesday and before Friday? I bought some at Thursday and didn't notice what showed up on the screen. If they only honored the purchase on Tuesday, then I have to return them,:mad:

Even better there was a buy 3 Lysol produces save 3 Dollars coupon on the shelves at my Store.

Plus today I checked the Monster Energy Drinks. Today the price was $2.50 each.
Buy 4 get 30 Air Miles (It does say that on the price tag this week.)
30 Air Miles for $10.00 (33 cents per mile) Not really a good deal. Ok if you are going to buy 4 drinks already.

You asked how I'm I going to deal with getting my ams from last week. Well I should received them in my account with no problem. As when I check out the lcd screen said 30 bonus ams (per can). On Friday the lcd screen said buy 4 get 30 ams. As I said I when to the same cashier and she knows me. She's my witness that they changed the offer. Also I have the picture of the price tags on the shelves that doesn't include the Buy 4 to get 30 AMs bonus tags, the price tag just says 30 Bonus Air Miles. Nothing about buy 4. So even if the cash gave you buy 4 get 30 AM. You can still fight it. As least at my store as their was no bonus tags on the shelves. And if I didn't know anything about rfd. I would still think the offer was buy 1 get 30 AM from the tags at my store. Also I still have my receipts from my purchase.

So if my am don't show up in 2 weeks I will phone cs but they are probably going to tell me I have to wait 90 days for my miles to show up. So I would have to until mid October to phone and explained what happened. But will out a receipt I don't think they would even talk to me. And I don't know if this was an error at my store only or chain wide.

Coupons do say 1 coupon per transaction but they let me use 4 at the same time

40 coupons = 120 product = $109.80 = 1000 AM = $140 in AM plus approx 40% back in tax receipts

On the coupon it says

Limit one coupon per purchase per customer.

To me that mean you can only use one coupon per item your purchase. You can't use 2 coupons to buy the same 3 bottles. I don't see a problem uses 2 coupons to buy 6 items.

I think the limit is for doubling as they do in the states.

I have always wondered this and since this thread and topic is here...thought I'd ask!

Take the pop at 3 for $11 with the 40 airmiles....if I were to buy 15 cases for $55 in the same transaction, would I actually get the 200 air miles or do I just get 40?

I guess what I am asking is if there is some kind of limit as to how many times you can reedem the same offer....can someone fill me in for the pop deal and in general (sorry if this has been answered before but I didn't feel like going through 43 pages to check!

Yes you should get the 200 air miles. Just make sure you buy a multiple of 3. Same transaction or different either way it the same. Sometime they do put a limit of items you can buy but it is usually well marked.

BTW the 40 air miles continues next week for the 3x12 can cases but it's 3.99 per case. So the price increases by almost a dollar on Sunday. Pepsi and Coke products. I think it any name brand pop.

At my store and probably nationwide, they have the Muscular Dystrophy Coupon book @ the registers. The coupon book is by donation and itI believe it says that you receive 30 Airmiles with the purchase of the coupon book.

I remember prior coupon books being sold for $2.00. So if this is the going rate for a coupon book you should get 30AM for $2.

Anyways, check before you purchase as I only took a really quick glance at it.

If buying a coupon book you should get 30AM for $2, then it is worth to buy 100 books since 30AM is worth at least $4. If we can donate the book to the food bank, then it is even better.

I think it really depends what they feel like and put out whatever coupons they want.....

I know it's last week, but, at the Robson Store, they had the 100AM for $100 purchases. And you could combine with their tag 50AM for $40 purchases. So at the end, you get 150AM, not as good as the McBride 250AM for $100 which ended last month.....

I don't think you will make 30AM by just buying the book. It says 'save over $30 and earn over $30 AM'. I think if you use all the coupons in the book, then you will earn over $30 & over 30AM.

To get the best results. I would go to airmiles.ca and print out your statement then take it with your receipt to the store that you made the purchase from and talk to CS in person. So they can see the mistake in person. If that doesn't then call Safeway's 1-800 number.

And Safeway makes you wait 90 days if miles don't show up not 120.

So if you make a extra large purchase for Air Miles you should know this before you make it. Or talk to CS in your store before you make the purchase to make sure you will get all the air miles you think you should receive.

Since I been doing this thread I always told people to check with CS at your store before you make a large purchase just for Air Miles.

With all the event air miles deals, can you do multiples? Ie buy 5 get 50 AM, can I buy 10 and get 100? Barring of course any that state the limit right on the coupon/ad.

Maybe I don't know. Probably it's 1100 per Bonus Offer/transaction. Superskid got a phone call from somebody at Safeway about their purchase with the cat food offer in May.

Maybe today I will ask the cs at my store. But usually I know a lot more about the air miles deals then the cs at my store. Last time I talked to somebody they told me "If there is a blue sign under the product that says air miles you should receive bonus air miles when you purchase that product." And I have told them a number of times that they have the sign under the wrong size product. To correct their mistake.

New update. The 1,100 Air Miles rule seems to not really exist. They are now citing that they "reserve the right to sell in retail quantities".
The interesting part is that when I asked them, nobody could define what a "retail quantity" was. As well, they didn't decide it wasn't a "retail quantity" until OVER 2 MONTHS after the purchase was made!
Something tells me that's not legal.

I found out today by myself the Lloydminister, AB Safeway also offers the 50 AM for $40 Platinum card. I was searching Calgary today and Lloydminister came up for some reason.

The mid-week flyer is different in BC and Calgary as we have a hot deal special for Corn.
Other locations have a spend $100 get 100 bonus Air Miles.

Here is a bigger image of the spend $100 get 100 bonus Air Miles coupon.

But I pretty sure if you print this coupon they will not take it. As it doesn't have a correct bar code. But let me know if it works for you. If it available in your area it should be at CS or at your front door.

Just a "HEADS UP"

Just got my flyer for next week And on page 4 of the flyer is:

Buy 3 Herbal Essences Hair Care Products $2.99 each get 80 Miles for 8.97 (11 cents per mile)

Almost as good as the cat food offer in May that was 9 cents per mile.

I hope you didn't stock up of shampoo this week.:)

Hey everyone,

I am new to this board and just want to say that the updates are great. I stocked up on the deal that Safeway had for the cases of Coca Cola. I noticed that airmiles only credited me for 20 airmiles instead of the 40 that was on the flier so I called Safeway today. I just wanted to let you know that you only got the 20 airmiles call Safeway because they have credited me now for the full 40. I didn't have to wait the 90 days because It had already been posted.

So you got your full 40 by calling Safeway? They owe me 20x3 over the last 2 weeks so that would be good if they do it right away. Thanks!

Ok here is my story about the Monster Energy Drink Bonus.

As you might have know I was only credited with the bonus 30 Air Miles from one can. I bought 4 cans on the day. My account has 30 Air Miles for that offer but it should have 120.

So I took my receipt in store this weekend with the print out of my account. And the cs person told me I should phone Air Miles's 1-888 number. So today I phoned the 1-888 number and the lady told me I should talk to someone at safeway. So I didn't really wanted to go back and talk to CS again. So I phoned Safeway's 1-800 number. And with in two minutes the guy told me that he would add the 90 miles to my account. I had to explain what offer it was, the date I bought the items, my Safeway Club Card number, my Air Miles card number plus which safeway location I made the purchase at.

He told me I should see the extra missing miles within 60 day.

So wait and see if I get them or not.

Hope this helps others that are missing miles from offers.

I buy 2 x the offer all the time in one time transactions.

Sometimes Safeway will limit the number of items at the sale price with your club card. But that is usually well marked. The HE Shampoo has no limit placed on them.

You should be fine with the 160 in one transaction. Some people are have trouble when they brought a extra large number of the bonus item. Like 30 bottles or more to get 800 Air Miles in one transaction.

And the Monster Energy drink offer was an error on the shelf at my store. Which happens from Time to Time.

So you should be fine just keep your receipt until the air miles appear in your account. Usually in 10 day to 2 weeks after the promotion has ended.

You can always ask for a raincheck if they are out of stock at your store but make sure they include the bonus air Miles offer. As you will not get the air miles if the raincheck doesn't say buy 3 items get 80 air miles.

Plus when you go to use the raincheck after you go through the checkout you will have to go to CS so they can add your air miles manually. It will take about 6-8 weeks to show up in your account.

BTW there is no mid-week extra bonus Air Miles coupon this week.

The only mid-week special is a 24 Pack of Water for $4.00 each (No Miles)

Yes I can confirm this. I almost always buy more than one set of the AM deal when it's a good one or one that I have a use for, like the cereal boxes let's say. Just like Ty said for as long as there isn't a limit on the product for a special price you should be ok. I bought 9 bottles yesterday and I might buy a bunch more and order a ton of fuel cards as I have to go on a trip in a few weeks with my camper. I'm thinking of trying to resell some of it on kijiji or something.. not too sure what I would do with all that shampoo.

Is it any wonder why these perks that RFD members enjoy universally are sacrificed but for the abuse of a few.. Loophole or not, written advertisement or not these types of purchases will certainly seal the fate of these types of offers.

Just got my flyer for next week today and yet this is tons of Airmiles offers in the flyer. There is a insert for the Summer Bonus Air Miles Event. Like the coupon book. But most of the deals look pretty avg to me.

Maybe the best for people here is the gillette Fusion Blades 8 pack get 40 Air Miles. But the price is not listed and it's about $16.00.

Or The Same Cat Food has a bonus on but it's no where near what it was in May.

Whiskas Temptations Buy 8 get 25 Air Miles.
Back in May the deal was Buy 6 get 40 Air Miles.

You can listen to that other guy that tries to tell you that paying for your product plus your Air Miles is a Sweet Deal. Maybe they are sweet Air Miles deals for Safeway. Paying extra for your miles is not a sweet deal for me.

In the past most or all the deals that were in the coupon books were pretty avg. And this insert looks to be the same. All the deals in the insert don't include the price. Just the Air Miles with the offer. If you are buying the items anyways it a good deal for you. But I would not touch them for just the miles.

But at least you don't need a coupon to get the miles this time.

Also there is a Spend $100 get 100 Bonus Air Miles on the cover of the reg flyer for all stores.

for people who don't know that much about safeway, usually when items give you airmiles, there are no limits on them and so you can clean out the whole shelf if you want, since you're buying the product.

safeway usually puts limits on extreme specials only. not airmiles specials.

and how much do you donate to the local food bank or animal shelter bud? it should be a win for safeway through sales, win for me and win for the food bank/animal shelters or am i missing something completely here...please tell me if i am

one cannot argue the philanthropic advantage to some of the offers and actions of RFD members for the odd offer here -- the point revolves around the actual cost to Safeway of offering the bonus airmiles. While I've never seen the actual wholesale cost of an airmile one can imagine it is close $.10 and at minimum $.06 for airmiles as an entity (LoyaltyOne, Inc.) to make money. These bonus offers are not made by manufacturers but by Safeway and as such there is a cost/benefit they must consider which includes the cost of the goods being sold with the offer. Which brings me back to the idea that some Safeway employee makes a mistake and throws a bunch of airmiles without thorough analysis of the offer(cost of airmiles+cost of product+cost of business+profit=sale price in very simple terms). Safeway is not in the business of giving away items but many offers here have proven that is essentially what happens - when the consumer realizes a profit by buying the offered product and disposing/consuming it in whatever matter. Yes one might consider these offers a "loss leader" to get customers in the store but -- allowing you to clear the shelf ruins other customers' perceptions of these offers like pie in the sky stOOpleS items and allowing you to order bulk quantities borders on the absurd.

When you take advantage of the offer to the point of absolute absurdity (because you can mentality) drawing so much attention it will inevitably FORCE Safeway to do an analysis of the cost/benefit structure of airmiles offers and effectively eliminate the odd 'amazing' deal we all enjoy 'within reason'. Over the years of perusing these boards there are so many examples of greed where people "clearing the shelf" and then selling on ebay or craigslist denying the next RFD member the opportunity to even get a single product that they might have needed personally. This is a forum, a community if you will where tons of people CONTRIBUTE - that is GIVE TO OTHERS so that the greater good is served. Such greed is contrary to the good of the members of this forum. YES you've made your point that the donation to the food bank is wonderful and I would never say otherwise BUT it's shortsighted. What if you could continue to do the odd donation to the food bank for years to come? or is it better to throw them 200 bottles of shampoo at one go and seriously risk the program taken advantage of to make that donation. It's ironic that if you do the analysis and skip the middleman, YOU didn't make the donation to the foodbank - Safeway did! You simply took advantage of Safeway taking airmiles and then you'll take tax credits from the government which in and of itself is morally objectionable (you should be PAYING tax on the profit you've made by realizing the capital gain!).

Look - we're all here to take advantage of amazing deals and one won't get tooo upset if you clear the odd shelf but making it a consistent practice, going overboard with bulk quantities, and coming on public forums to brag about it will most certainly ruin it for everyone. Do what your conscience allows - I'm simply mourning the end of these offers -- it only takes a few bad apples! We've been so lucky to take advantage of these safeway offers for so long now it would be a shame to lose them -- RFD members east of us GET NOTHING EVEN CLOSE to the types of airmiles offers we get from Safeway.. I'm not going to pretend you 'get it' because you probably would abuse it in the first place if you did but I felt motivated to rant and now I'm done -- there's no argument or conversation. My point is simple - the benefit to you does not outweigh the opportunity for everyone else including the food bank in the long run.

so that is what Vic East told you? if so i might have to place an order on some shampoo....

Sheryl(the older short lady who always works at the customer service desk phoned & told me when my special order had arrived on Thur.). Then when I went to pick up my order on Friday, they called the guy(I think he is the manager) from the back office to the front to talk to me. He said the new policy is max. 500AM. per offer, per week. Not the weekly 500AM limit total from all different offers Sheryl told me on Thur. I.e. if both Coke and Pepsi have AM deals in the same week, I could get max. of 500 AM from Coke offer and max. 500 AM from Pepsi offers. He said the new policy will be on the flyer. We will find out if he is telling the truth or not. I think they are selling these big AM offers as loss leaders. Otherwise if Safeway is making money when they are selling these items, they should be happy because the more they sell, the more money they will make.
I think you are too late to place an order for this week's AM offer because I tried that before and they told me that you can only get the bonus AM if the order arrives before the AM offer expires.
I donate all my big AM deal purchases to the food bank. But I usually wait until the AM show up in my AM acct. before I donate the goods. Just in case Safeway makes a mistake and says the AM offer is an error and there is no such AM offer. Then I will return the goods to Safeway(I think I had to do this only once before. I think it was the hamburger helper deal a couple years ago).

I think that store's people just made the policy for me because I asked CSR at another Safeway store and they said there is no limit.

Hordosr:
Did someone from the Vic. sq. Safeway tell you that from now on there will be a limit of 500 AM/week max. from all the purchases you make, not just one item or one bill? I placed an order for 216 bottles of the HE shampoo, the store CSR told me that this will be the last time I am allowed to buy such large quantities. Starting next week, the limt will be 500AM/week. They said such large purchase is not considered a consumer purchase. It is a wholesale purchase.
There was an earlier thread that someone said the limit is 1100AM. I think the policy is not an official policy for everyone. It is a policy set up by each store on each customer basis. Otherwise Safeway will post that limit in its store or website.

"there will be a limit of 500 AM/week max"
If you purchase every AM deal (the minimum), you would get way more then 500AM. Whats from stopping you from going to another safeway and picking up another 500AM, should the other store have a weekly limit. If the individual safeway wants to limits AM, put a limit on # item can be purchased. IF Safeway headquarters has a problem with someone buying 300 bottles of shampoo, because its an AM deal, then they should cap the maximum AM you can recieve regardless how many you buy. Example, buy 2 of what ever, get 20AM. Maximum AM you can get 100 from a 10 lot purchase, regardless if you buy 10 or 50 items.

Do what your conscience allows - I'm simply mourning the end of these offers -- it only takes a few bad apples! We've been so lucky to take advantage of these safeway offers for so long now it would be a shame to lose them -- RFD members east of us GET NOTHING EVEN CLOSE to the types of airmiles offers we get from Safeway.. I'm not going to pretend you 'get it' because you probably would abuse it in the first place if you did but I felt motivated to rant and now I'm done -- there's no argument or conversation. My point is simple - the benefit to you does not outweigh the opportunity for everyone else including the food bank in the long run

Interesting points. But maybe a little misguided. Safeway probably purchases the points from Airmiles. As I have only being involved with Aeroplan milage purchases for a large Cdn chain I am not 100% certain. Now each Airmile probably costs X amount of dollars to Safeway. Why would they care if you purchase 1 can of cat food or 10000? Safeway is in the business of shipping food. They buy food from a wholesaler, ship it too a store and resell it hopefully at a profit. I am sure the cost of the Airmiles are worked into the cost of the product.

Now Airmiles is in the travel agency business. I know this as I brought a complaint against them with transport Canada in 2003-2004. The complaint was dropped by transport Canada after a lengthy investigation. It had to due with the surcharge being charged at the time and Airmiles making a profit of the surcharge. Strangely enough Airmiles soon starting disclosing the surcharge...Hmmm.

Now this silent majority should spend a minute and think about what you are supposedly saying. Why do you care if Safeway is making a profit or if Airmiles is making a profit? Are thay making less of a profit because you purchased 10000 cans of cat food?

Still pissed my wife wouldn't let me in on the cat food deal. I would have purchased a skid full. Had the stuff shipped right to the SPCA to save shipping costs and travel time. And yes everybody wins. Safeway sold more cat food. Airmiles sold more airmiles to Safeway. The SPCA received a pile of cat food. The customer (YOU) pulled in a bunch of Airmiles. If Airmiles feels the customer is pulling in the Airmiles to easuly I am sure they will change the rules. They have done so in the past and will continue to do so.

Now the part I find most confusing about what the silent majority is saying is: I speak most certainly for the silent majority who hopes we can continue to enjoy the small perks and benefits that come in a consistent but cumulative fashion picking the low lying fruit instead of chopping the whole tree down! What is the difference if the silent majority enjoys the small perks and benefits (cat food) or one guy/girl purchase 25 skids of cat food? Its the same amount of items purchased from Safeway. The same amount of Airmiles Safeway purchases from Airmiles. The only difference being Safeway didn't sell any incidental items which is probably the point of the exercise.

Now to take your argument/conversation in a different tangent. Quite often Safeway has 4-6 oz random chicken breasts on at 26.00 for 4kg. Most restaurants buy these breasts for 30.00 to 33.00 for 4kg. When they go on sale Safeway usually sells out buy midmorning as the restaurants come in and buy them all. Should only the silent majority be allowed this deal or should restaurants be limited in what they can purchase (sometimes they are)? Now as someone in the restaurant/hotel business I generally try to purchase products as cheaply as possible. If good deals come along and money can be saved hey it's time to load up and fill the freezer.

Now the one consistent thing that seems to keep happening is good deals keep comming along. Auctions happen daily, Safeway has deals and Airmiles keeps ripping people off. Your point to distribute good deals evenly is a wonderfull one. but I think the silent majority is actually busy reading the current top deals on page one.

Well I will definitely agree with you Airmiles will continue ripping people off -- can't wait for the next time they de-value my existing points again!

I agree with most of what you say however the most salient point seems to have been skimmed over in your review - the simple fact that people can realize a profit by purchasing and passing on a given product means that someone is losing money - simple (or complex) economics.... What I'm saying however is that it's not airmiles who's losing here - most definitely Safeway purchases the airmiles at a rate I have to imagine is greater than $.06/mile. These deals being taken advantage of here most definitely are loss leaders and they are budgeted for in any campaign (or maybe not which is where my 'mistake' theory comes in) but I do not believe for one second Safeway budgets a loss leader promotion with consideration for bulk purchases which would extend beyond their inventory. Most loss leaders are limited quantity and by definition are there to suck you in so you buy OTHER stuff which makes up for their loss -- allowing the order of 216 is counter to the store's goal. When they wake up to this reality because of the growing abuses most definitely limit rules such as 500AM/week will come into play -- or worse, someone will wake up and stop using airmiles as a loss leader promotion but instead revert to the standard price point loss leaders which most certainly appeal to a greater audience. Anyway you look at it - the abuses will spell the end of these incredibly large airmiles offers.

Think of Airmiles as a gaurentee you the customer are going to purchase something. The beneifts of loyalty programs are sold to corporations to help win over customers. Many businesses have embraced them as a cost of doing business to entice a class of customer they are looking for to purchase there product. Hotel chains use them to entice a certain level of customer into there doors.

Safeway is using the Airmiles program to entice you to purchase there products. Yes they are paying a price to Airmiles. Is it .06? I think it would be lower. Is it costing Safeway extra dollars if one person buys up all the product. I would think the answer would be yes. But why would you, the customer, care? I couldn't give a rats ass if Safeway discontinued the program. I will switch to Sobeys if I think I can get more bang for my buck with Aeroplan. But currently I can max out 27-35 free short haul flights a year with Airmiles. If I could figure out a way around the surcharges I would. Did I buy the cat food deal in May, nope. Did I participate in the Home Depot gift card bonanza? Yep. I cleaned a certain Safeway out of gift cards. Took me one hour at the customer service desk to have them all punched in. It took two managers to verify I would recieve the Airmiles. Back to your point.

Who lost. Safeway? Nope, they sold lots of gift cards and had more in stock the next day. Airmiles? Nope, they sold the airmiles to Safeway. The only person who lost is you if you came in after me after I cleaned out all the gift cards:D. Expecially if you knew there was a special on at Home Depot that day only and need to use the cards to save even more! I understand your point, but it's a special. No everybody is not going to win. Generally most deals are on a first come first served basis. That is where your logic gets a little twisted, is this site about everybody sharing a fantastic deal? Or is it about getting the best deal possible and whoever grabs it gets it? Possibly a bit of both. But if the deal is great one, you better be fast.

You think Safeway pays less then 6c/Mile? LOL. I would think maybe 10c, if they're lucky.

Air Miles sells a $50 gift card for 395 miles. If Safway were paying 6c a Mile, Air Miles would collect ... $23.70 for this card. I very much doubt Air Miles are buying $50 gift cards for less than 1/2 the face value.

Does anyone have a working link to the liquor flyer? The only store in Edmonton selling liquor do not display their flyer online.

Oh and I was gone all week end without internet access. I was second guessing medium size purchases I did which _could_ interfere with the program. I'm glad to see some point were brought up and will most definitely keep on buying larger amount of products if it makes any sense. I will double check the 500 AM thing if I do reach that limit on a future purchase. I doubt it's true though.

I purchase wholesale quantities, and my 2 local stores know it and they open up a register just for me when they see me. I am there atleast 3 times a week....... Here is one day back in june....... I copied and pasted this from my airmiles account.....



so to answer the question a few people were asking.........there is NO limit on airmiles

in one day I got 3031 airmiles........ If they started limiting this, then I would stop buying from safeway and just shop anywhere else

They may treat me differently than some, because I spend about $3,000 to $10,000 a month there sometimes...... mostly on specials in wholesale quantities, but I am loyal because of the airmiles

Ok here is my story about the Monster Energy Drink Bonus.

As you might have know I was only credited with the bonus 30 Air Miles from one can. I bought 4 cans on the day. My account has 30 Air Miles for that offer but it should have 120.

So I took my receipt in store this weekend with the print out of my account. And the cs person told me I should phone Air Miles's 1-888 number. So today I phoned the 1-888 number and the lady told me I should talk to someone at safeway. So I didn't really wanted to go back and talk to CS again. So I phoned Safeway's 1-800 number. And with in two minutes the guy told me that he would add the 90 miles to my account. I had to explain what offer it was, the date I bought the items, my Safeway Club Card number, my Air Miles card number plus which safeway location I made the purchase at.

He told me I should see the extra missing miles within 60 day.

So wait and see if I get them or not.

Hope this helps others that are missing miles from offers.

I checked my account at Airmiles.ca this morning and my missing miles were added to my account. (Well most of them.) 80 missing miles were added to my account I was suppose to get 90.

It's usually when Safeway re/opens a new/remodeled store to bring more traffic to that location. Or when a Wallmart Supercentre opens up down the block with their own full service grocery section.

BTW Today, Sept 1st ,is Customer Appreciation Day. Spend 35+ before tax get 10% off or 10 times your base Air Miles.
Base Air Miles is the spend $20 get 1 Air Mile offer.

Does anyone know if you can combine the extreme airmiles deals (buy $200 get 500, Buy $100 get 250) with the 10% customer appreciation discount? I thought I had read somewhere that you could, but the wife just called from the Southland Safeway and she said they were telling her that she couldn't.

She was going to talk to Customer Service to see what the story was, but I was curious about other's experiences...

(apologies in advance, but I am cross posting this in the other airmiles thread, as I am not sure if everyone reads both, and can't remember where I read this).

Just ask them or call in to double check but I'm confident you can combine coupon and 10% or air miles multiplier.

All the info about the local deals are posted on the first page about half way down the page under the current week deals.

There are 5 locations in Calgary/Edmonton that have local deals.

I didn't buy any of the cards but usually on these special bonuses they wait until the end of the offer to post the miles. As the offer just ended on Sat. I would think your miles should appear 10 days - 2 weeks from Aug 29th.

"Calgary:
The Southland Crossing Safeway in Calgary has The Extreme Air Mile event going on now.

Spend $100 get 200 Bonus Air Miles

http://safeway.ca.inserts2online.com/SafewaySafeway08302009CanadaSummerBonusAirMiles/breakouts/b536794_0.jpg

I was looking in my local paper tonight and it has the shop & save coupon book with a $1.50 off Sunlight Green Laundry Detergent.

If you can get two of them (maybe 1 from the recycling box next door or got the coupon from save.com) you can bring the price down to $8.98 (18 cents per mile.)

Can anyone confirm the price for this deal this morning as I have not been into my store yet. And if they are going to change the price it will be this morning.

4 for $6.66 = 17 cents per mile

Even if they raise the price to $1.99 more reg price it still a pretty good deal at 20 cents per mile.

Thanks newfbc for pointing it out.
Another in-store special on top of this one - there's a buy 2 get 1 one free on 2L Sprites (don't know if it applies to any other Coke products.) So that makes it 40 Air Miles for $5 or 12.5 cents per mile. Of course I'm not sure if this is chain wide either.

I don't know if that deal is nationwide. My store has Buy 2 bottles of Evian water get one free. It's done with your club card. I'm not sure if Evian is part of the deal. But it's also a coke product.

At my store also has

Buy 5 Jello pudding cups get 50 Air Miles. B1G1F for $2.75 each so 5-6 will be $8.25 (17 cents per mile)
Funny I think someone might have put the tags out a week 2 early as they only have the blue tags. But have just the normal price tag. And the offer ends next Sat. the 19th.

Good to hear that you both got all the Air Miles you were expecting to get.

I guess it depends on your Safeway. I can drive to 6-8 safeways in 20 mins. But some people who live in smaller places have a hour or more drive to the next nearest location. Maybe it depends on their delivery schedule. I know my store gets restock almost every night. If it in the warehouse. But some rural stores may only get deliveries 2-3 times a week.

Always ask your cs or Store Manager before you go 2 crazy and buy the aisle.

BTW I was in my local Safeway today and the 40 Bonus Air Miles for pop are only on the C-Plus and Canada Dry products now. Not Coke or Sprite anymore. I guess the coke deal was only half a week. I don't know. Never seen that before.

You can always ask for a raincheck if they are out of stock at your store but make sure they include the bonus air Miles offer. As you will not get the air miles if the raincheck doesn't say buy 3 items get 80 air miles.

Plus when you go to use the raincheck after you go through the checkout you will have to go to CS so they can add your air miles manually. It will take about 6-8 weeks to show up in your account.

Thanks for the tip. I should have asked instead of assuming they wouldn't raincheck the airmiles. I'll try a different store today and if they're out too, I'll get a raincheck.

I tried to get a raincheck including airmiles Wednesday (on the Primo promotion). They were happy to do it however I was told that if I wanted the bonus airmiles the process was that I should pay for the products up front and then come get them when they are in stock. This seems reasonable to me but I would have liked to have known that before I went through the checkout as I was trying to maximize the extreme airmiles coupon. Now I know for next time. BTW this was the Madison Square Safeway in Winnipeg.

It is up to each store to make its own policy. My store wouldn't allow me to pay for the product if they don't have enough stock in the store. And it wouldn't issue raincheck. I even asked what if I don't want to take the goods, I just wanted to pay for them & take the airmiles. They said no.

If I buy lets say:

120 Boxes of General Mills breakfast bars.

Buy 6 earn 75 so I am buying 120 and I will earn 1500 Airmiles, this will cost $240 so technially, if I do this at the palisades Safeway, then I will get an additional 300 Airmiles for spending $200, putting my airmiles total at 1800 airmiles, then ofourse my base airmiles, 1 am for every $20 right? so thats an additional 12 airmiles.

So total airmiles is 1812

Airmiles gives you Shell Gas cards, $20 value for 175 Air Miles.
So for 1750 Airmiles, I get $200 of my money back in Gas money which is something u can never not need... and still keep about 65 Airmiles... from the original purchase? so I am getting 120 Boxes of Cereal bars for 40 bucks? Is this the case? am I missing something because this sounds too good to be true.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank TYinYVR for all the time he takes to update his post.

I just rolled over 10,000 air miles today with his help! This may not sound like many to a lot of you but I basically shop for myself.

Checking my airmiles totals: I have collected 2945 so far this year, and have another 160 outstanding from Safeway and 100+ coming from my mosaik cc in the next few days. I have collected 1587 in the last 5 months from Safeway alone!!

Now to start planning our trip.....:D

Thanks to everyone who updates this post, it has become part of my sunday shopping routine!!

Found these coupons at Zellers by a display of assorted Kelloggs Bran items... its a Bran event coupon book.

Sorry for the cell pic, but may be of use for people that can find them and combine them with the AM deals.

Will list below to see if you need to go looking for them. Possibly near Bran items in other stores??

Back again at least in my store:
Buy 4 Canada Dry/C-Plus 2L Pop Get 40 Air Miles for 3/$5.00 works out to $6.66 before Deposit/Recycling fee if any in your area (17 cents per mile)
-----
And I added the 5/$10.00 Nature Valley Bars in Alberta only deal to the front page. Yes it a better deal then the pop but only in Alberta as far as I can see. I checked about 5 online flyers from Calgary and Edmonton and every store has the buy 5/$10.00. That is why I didn't put to as the best deal as it not available to everyone chain wide.

BTW Nature Valley always has some coupons floating around. I have some buy 2 get $1.00 off coupons from couple months ago.

Thanks for your comment. It's good to hear.

It's better to hear that then my usual pm from people: My miles have not showed up. WHAT SHOULD I DO.

I have got over 2900 Air Miles this year.

About 2600+ from Safeway. That's not with using a Extreme Coupon or even a spend $100 get 100 Bonus Air Miles. Plus 2 weeks+ I was no where near Safeway in the Swiss Alps, Germany, and Vienna to visit friends. (My flight was paid for by Safeway):)

My next trip is down under to visit my friend in Perth.

What most people do is donate the bars that their family will not eat themselves to there local food bank after their miles appear in their account. Maybe get a tax receipt for you donation if it's large enough. For a Win/Win.

But if your family will eat 120 boxes of bars keep them for yourself. :lol:

As I was checking out at the Madison Square location in Winnipeg, I noticed that they have new Air Miles conditions posted next to the credit card readers.
I didn't have time to read it all, but the significant piece was a limit of 10 times for a bonus offer and no more than 500 Air Miles from one bonus offer per day. I haven't actually seen this affect my statement yet, but this is the first time I've noticed this list of conditions.

was at the Robson store today, and at the bottom of my receipt, it showed exactly how many AM I'm supposed to get! (y)

I was just going to post this from the flyer. I'm so happy about this. I have been asking Safeway for about 6-7 years to do this on their receipts. Finally. It's makes it so much easier. Thumbs up Safeway for doing something right. :!: :cool::idea::cool:

By the Way. If you read Mr. Bob's thread which I don't. His title has miss leading info. Safeway is not giving away 20 free Air Miles.

In the flyer next week there is an insert with the normal Air Miles coupons that you can get online at Air Miles .com or from your quarterly statement. And there is the normal visit Iris eye wears coupon to get 20 free Air Miles . So Safeway is not giving away 20 free Air Miles.

If you go here this coupon (https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/EarnMilesCouponOfferDetail?offerId=Offer6500260) has been on line since June. So it nothing special! This new coupon is just replace that coupon. It will give you another 20 free Air Miles from Iris. And it ends Sept 30th. So use them both and get 40 air miles for free. You will probably have to go on 2 different day to use them both.

And the new ones are not on line as of yet but should be there next week or by the being of October.

These coupon are probably part of the new Air Miles Free Gas and Groceries Contest that starts on Oct 7th that you can sign up for before it starts Here (http://free.airmiles.ca/)

Which you can win a $2500 Gas GC from Shell and a $7500 Groceries GC from Safeway.

It might be your store. Which store do you shop at.

I have got all my Air Miles credited from Safeway from Aug 28 up to Sept 17th.

I think they have to add different software to the computers at each store. Today I went into my store #20 Sunwood Square in Coquitlam and my Bonus Air Miles were on my receipt. Probably it will show up on your receipt this week. As it was in the flyer this week plus there are posters in my store talking about it.

My store (Sunwood) is currently going through some store-wide remodelling...anyone know is they will have a SALE or a promo once the renovations are done.....

Sunwood is my store too. So if there is a bonus going on there I will post it here. After the remodeling I don't know yet. The staff can't even tell me if anything is been remodeled in the store or is it just some paint and a new sign outside.:)

This new policy is in their system now, starting this week together with the new change of actual AM showing on your bill right away.
I bought the paper towel with bonus AM this week. I bought 38 packages and used the bonus coupon of get 100 bonus AM for spending $100. My bill showed I only got 350 AM(=10 * 35 AM for the max. of 10 times bonus offer per day) for the towel and 100 bonus AM for spending $100. The CSR at the store didn't know about the new policy. But the store found out about it 2 days later. The store said they would refund part of the purchase that was over the 10 times daily offer and make another purchase for the next day to get the remaining AM for the towels. I told the store that I would return the purchase if I can't use the bonus 100AM for the first day bill because the refund would reduce my first day bill to < $100. So the store said they wouldn't reduce the first days AM from my AM acct and just add the missing AM as a second day purchase to bypass the new policy.

You bought 38 packages? Isn't it buy 2 get 35 Air Miles? So wouldn't that be 19x35?


I think it's awesome how the miles show up on the receipt now. Saves a lot of trouble. Today on my shop, one of the items was buy 5 get 40.. I thought it was buy 4. When I checked my receipt the miles weren't there.. so I checked and figured out it was buy 5. Got a refund and bought 5. Before I wouldn't realize it until too late.

You bought 38 packages? Isn't it buy 2 get 35 Air Miles? So wouldn't that be 19x35?


Ron.

It would have been 19x35 bonus AM if the new limit policy is not on. But my bill showed I got 5AM for the regular buy $20 get 1 AM, 350 AM for the daily max. of 10 times the bonus offer, 100AM for the bonus of get 100AM for spending $100.

So just to confirm, there is not limit on how many airmiles in a day you can collect?

Just a limit of 10x each bonus offer?
10 for purex
10 for something else
10 for something else

or is it a limit of 10 bonus offers store wide???

I think it is Just a limit of 10x each bonus offer per day.
When I called Safeway at 1-877-723-3929, the CSR told me each store's manager can decide if that store will use that policy or not. IF that store decides to use the new policy, then that store has to display that new policy. If the new policy is not displayed, they are not supposed to use it. It is Airmiles, not Safeway that implements this new policy.

BTW :
The 1-877-Safeway number is the American Corp. Number. For Safeway inc.
To phone Canada Safeway directly phone the 1-800-Safeway (723-3929) number.

I'm sure both numbers will get you to the same place but with extra steps.

I asked tonight everyone at safeway about the new 500 limit

Literally, NO ONE knew what was going on..... I said to them "its posted at every single cash register" and the CS people (all of them) had no idea.....


I dont blame them at all, we all laughed about it being news to them......

they told me to call the 1800 safeway..... so i did, and they had not heard of it either...

I wanted clarification on wording on the signs at the tills......

I wanted to confirm that it was a limit of 500 airmiles PER BONUS OFFER....... and not a limit per transaction of multiple bonus offers........

They put me through too a supervisor, who pulled up my account and advised me that my receipt stating 1040 airmiles was what was deposited and that he assumed it was a 500 limit per item as i thought..... so i will wait and see what gets deposited :)


pretty confusing change-over for them

Neither store in town knows the answer, and I told them both about the postings at the registers

so who knows, i guess we will see what happens


If anyone has any deposits of over 500 in one transaction in the month of october...... or if they got more than 500 per offer please let us know :)

a_1_a saids "Each store's manager can decide if that store will use that policy or not."

It's not a chain wide policy.

I have seen nothing about it in my store. Sunwood Square in Coquitlam #20

And if it per store there are about 6-8 Safeways I could drive to in 15-20 mins from my house.

I feel sorry for the people who live in rural locations that have to drive a hour or 2 to the next nearest store.

My paper towel bonus from last week is the following(as shown on my bills):
day1: 35AM(bonus per offer of buy 2 packages) * 10(max. times per day) = 350 AM.
day2: 35AM(bonus per offer of buy 2 packages) * 9(18 packages) = 315 AM.

so the new policy is the following:
It is max. 10 times of each bonus offer, up to 500 AM, per day. It is not per transaction. It is per day.
I.e. If Coke has bonus offer of 50AM for buying 3 bottles and Pepsi has the same bonus deal, then you could buy 50 bottles of Coke & 50 bottles of Pepsi each day for the whole week(Sun to Sat). So the max. bonus AM you can get for the 2 bonus deals are: Coke = 10(times max) * 50AM(per bonus offer) * 7(days) = 3500AM and the same 3500 AM for Pepsi, for a total weekly max. of 7000 AM.

SMOKING HOT DEAL

In-store long ongoing deal:

Air Miles My Planet deals Until Oct 31:

Earn 50 Bonus AIR MILES reward miles when you buy 5 participating O Organics or Bright Green products at Safeway. With a catch. The signs are confusing to me plus the miles don't show up on the receipt (At least for me the two times I made purchases. )

Some of the deals include

O ORGANICS BABY FOOD 0.89 each for $4.45 (8 cents per mile) The sign at least at my store said 12/180g. I don't know what that means. I talked to one of the floor mangers and I said do I have to buy 5 cases of 12 to get the Air Miles. He said no You should have to just buy 5 to get the miles. I said ok so I check out and no miles showed up on my receipt. (This was on Tuesday) So I talked to cs and they put my missing Miles in the white book. That takes 6-8 weeks for your miles to appear in your account.

Safeway's O ORGANICS reusable tote bags for 0.99 each $5.50 with tax in BC. (11 cents a mile) (Same thing today I had to get cs to add my air miles manual as they never appeared on my receipt)

I don't if this is everywhere and your Safeway Staff might read the sign different then mine.

But it's a SMOKING HOT deal if you can get it and don't mind doing the extra step and waiting 6-8 weeks for the miles to appear..

And you can donated the baby food to the food bank if you don't have a baby in your life. Like I did.

But it was good that I could show them my receipt with no miles for my purchase right away and I didn't have to wait 90 days.

Do you happen to know if the 10x limit is per store? Is it possible for me to go to another store and purchase another set of 10 promos?

I can't tell you either way, as I have never tried it myself.. I think the 10x limit is a policy each store can choose whether they use it or not. If they do use it they must post the info at each checkout. There is nothing about it at my store as of yet.

If I was you and I don't know where you live. But say you live in the West End. Go into Robson and buy 10x of an offer. Then goto Davie and buy 1 from the same offer. And if that one shows up on your receipt then you can. If not return the items and get your money back.

I'm guessing but I think each store is different. And the 10x limit per day is not chain wide.

This means case of 12 of the 180g baby food.

That is the answer I was expecting to hear from the manager when I asked him.
But I didn't get that from him. And that is why I got the miles. It's a misleading sign. When the big print saids Buy 5 get 50. To be honest it should read buy 60 Jars get 50 Miles. I'm sure I will not be the only person who will only buy 5 items and expect the miles. This is why I asked in the first place.

Furthermore the sign for the tote bags also has ever weird fine print. It's said "100 each" . I'm guessing that is the price of the bag. And they just forgot to add the decimal. I don't know. Or does it mean they want me to buy 500 bags to get the 50 miles.:confused::lol: Plus the price I paid was 99 cents each.

The people who write these signs use their own code.

So as for the 10x limit... I can tell you it is in effect.... I purchased 10x batteries deal on thursday, and 12xbattery deal yesterday

Both days it maxed at 500 airmiles.

Who knows, I was actually wondering if it was maybe even per transaction?
If it is indeed a solid limit per day, and cannot be done store to store like someone asked..... then is it managed by the safeway club card, or managed by the airmiles number?

Im "assuming" club card?

richknebel
Oct 10th, 2009, 06:44 PM
Oh, and there is no maximum airmiles you can get per day. Just 10x or 500 per bonus offer per day.


You can get multiple bonus offers, and also use multiple extreme coupons per day

Couple of years back when they were heavily promoting their Safeway branded products with Buy 5 get 50AM, they sometimes had a little leaflet/card at the check out or the CSR desk where it listed all the participating items for that week. I wonder if they have that for this promo. It'd make life a whole lot easier than going through the whole store looking for labels on a shelf.

In my city anyways its 500 per offer(or max 10 x per offer per day) whichever comes first


My receipts have showed 1100, 800, 740, 1400 etc in the past few weeks...... and all have been credited as so......

I purchased 10x a 50 air mile offer one day....... all 500 miles were credited..... the next day i bought 11x that offer...... and 10x an offer on another item

it showed as follows
10x offer
500 - Duracell batteries

---------------------------------------
Then
11x offer
500 - Duracell batteries
500 GM products
250 bonus airmiles
------------------------------------------------

I called the CS number to confirm that it is per item offer and they confirmed......

I spoke to a supervisor because the CS rep on the phone had not yet heard of the 500 limit per offer........

The super pulled up my receipt (literally 3-4 minutes after my purchase) and was able to confirm I received 1250 miles with a max of 500 on the 2 offers


He told me there is NO daily limit on how many miles total you receive




This makes sense, of course...... because with the spend $200 get 500 airmiles deals around here, you would get screwed!

So in Alberta anyways, there is no daily total limit..... just 10x per offer daily (max 500 per offer)




In saying that, coke and pepsi may be grouped that week in a mix & match or related item.......


But as for here, there is no limit on how many offers you partake in

It's not a chain wide policy.

I say each store is different with the 500 limit per day, per store it should be well posted.

There are no signs about it at my store.

And when they give away 500 Air Miles for spending $200. And you don't get any other Air Mile for the items your brought for that shop. They would not do that.

I guess it's only at some locations as each store can choose to have that policy or not. Check with your local manager for the rule at your store.

About the missing Air Miles.

And it depends on the cs person you get and which store you goto. And if they're having a good day or not. And most of the time it just easier to use the white book then phoning Head Office :cheesygri

BTW all the my planet signs are still up in my store. Tote bags, baby food... everything. As of this afternoon.

Are you saying if you use the spend $200 get 500 you don't get any of the other bonuses? Or are you saying that they wouldn't try to pull a "fast one" like that. It is my understanding that you would get any regular base miles, and any item specific bonus miles, but you couldn't combine it with other offers (like 10% off customer appreciation day).

The store manager found the notice in his office to show the baby food and tote bag have been removed from the list. The stocking employees had forgotten to remove the signs from the shelf. They removed the sign right after I asked them.

They should have still given you the airmiles, and not anyone else that purchased after they took the signs down. They were still advertising it right up until that point.

They did give me the AM. But the local store CSR had to phone the head office to credit my AM.

I didn't see any sign of B5 O Organics G50AM except the coffee in my local safeway on Sunday. Can I print out the list from airmiles.ca and show it to CS in store to get the miles?


I guess you can try that. I don't know if they would give the miles or not. But if you do report you experience.

The tote bags are not on the web site I never saw them on the site only in Store. But the baby food is still up on the site.

----
And if the signs are still up they should give it to you. As none of signs have a date on them. It not your fault they made a mistake.

I bought the baby food and the miles did not show up on my receipt.

I went to customer service with the list of eligible products that I printed off the airmiles website. They told me that baby food had been removed from the promo. However, he will credit me with the points anyway.

YMMV though.

Good to hear that the cs step up for you and gave you your miles.

BTW In my store #20 Sunwood Square, they took down the signs for the tote bags today. But have the baby food sign still up.

It makes me laugh the "copycat" here was promoting the Bathroom Tissue this week as one or his "SWEET" Deals. And he's already saying next it's a bad week for Air Miles at Safeway.

The reason why I didn't include the Purex Bathroom Tissue 24/12 double roll this week is buy 2 for 5.99 get 40 for 11.98 (30 cent per mile) 30 cents is my break even point for airmiles as you can buy 1 Air Mile from Airmiles.ca for 30 cents to top up your account.

But next week the same Purex Bathroom Tissue 30/15 double roll bigger size buy 2 for 6.99 each get 50 for 13.98 (28 cent per mile.)

So it's actually a better deal. :confused::lol:

But I'm not running into safeway Sunday morning to buy 20 packs of purex my 500 am limit for the day/offer. :lol:

Look for my full update Sunday morning.

Alright, just had my deposits from October 6 to october 10


There were NO limits on the total amount of AM in one day, but they did limit each bonus offer as thought to a max of 500am (or x10 whichever comes first)


Still no idea if you separate the transactions or do it at a different store if you can get more than the 10x offer max

I purchased the organic green peas for $3.59 each and it says I received the airmiles on the bottom of my receipt. Does that mean I just got lucky and the cashier accepted my coupon or does it mean they are included in the deal?

I'm pretty sure I saw the signs for the e-mail coupons under the veggies as well.

Did you buy 2 packs or 5? Did you receive 75 AM or 50 AM? If you bought 5 packs and received bonus 50 AM without showing the email bonus coupon, then the AM is from the other current organic bonus offer. If you bought 2 packs and received 75 bonus AM after using the email 75 AM bonus coupon, then cashier made a mistake.

TYinYVR
Oct 21st, 2009, 03:54 PM
It was most likely a mistake by the cashier. The veggies are apart of the buy 5 get 50 My planet bonus. And they do have a bonus tag for the air miles (At least at my store) but not a email tag. The coupon automatically gives you the 75 air miles once the cashier plugs in the barcode. It leaves the checking to the cashier.

Or are Peas a fruit in Winnipeg? Not in BC.:)

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before, but what is the maximum airmiles you can get at one time?, or in one day? The other airmiles thread is suggesting 500 is the max, but somebody on here was talking about getting 800. Is there a max?

TYinYVR
Oct 27th, 2009, 02:24 AM
This is the limit as I know it.

There is no max amount of air miles you can received per day. But a limit of 500 air mile per offer per day or 10 X the offer per day whatever comes first.

Say you buy a buy 5 items get 50 Air Miles, you can buy up to 50 items a day to get your 500 Air Miles for that offer.

But you can get another 500 Air Miles from any other offer.

Say you buy the 6 get 80 air Miles. You can buy up to 42 items a day (Or 7X the offer) to get your 500 air miles.

Or if you buy a item with a offer like buy 2 get 10 Air Miles. You can only buy 20 items a day for a 200 Air Miles limit.

Also you can only use the extreme deal coupon for the 500 Air Miles only once per day. But you can still get your reg bonus Air Miles with no problem.

This is what I have heard. But I don't know if it Chain Wide. I think each store can choose to use the limit or not.

If there is a limit it should be posted at your CS desk and at each cashier.

But I have not seen anything posted at my store.

Hope this helps.

Always check with your store's CS desk. As each store can differ.

TYinYVR
Oct 29th, 2009, 02:11 PM
It's not 99% of the time it on the base offer.

It's 100% of the time.

The bonus offer's are never including in the times coupons.

Just one bonus of 80 Air Miles X 25 = 2000 Air Miles for $60.

Safeway has a lot better Air Miles offers than Metro in Ontario.

But they don't have INSANE DEAL like above.:lol:

I'm 99.9% sure that the bonus coupon only count towards your base offer Air Miles only.

I think the biggest gift card for iTunes that Safeway sells is $50. Just Guess.

I know that you can't buy Safeway Gift Cards to get the 10% discount. But I don't know about other non Safeway GCs.

I don't think you can use the coupon plus get the CAD discount on one transaction. As it's one bonus offer per transaction. Stated on the coupon.

The Extreme Air Miles Event looks to be done at the Southland Crossing location in Calgary. As when I checked the online flyer for that location it just gave me a normal flyer. Can any one confirm this in Calgary? Thanks.

Are there any new locations for the Extreme Air Miles this week to replace Southland?

Whitehorn and Madison Square Events look to still be on for now.

So i tried going store too store. I was curious if you would hit the max 500 per bonus offer store too store.



I was able to get 10x 50 airmiles at store A
then 5 minutes later get more of the same deal at store B and it showed it on my receipt

where as when you try 11x the offer on one receipt it max's at 10x




no word yet on if its JUST per receipt..... ill have too try that next..... try getting 10x an offer twice in the same day on separate receipts

I asked the pharmacy if there was any daily limits and got a good old "deer in the headlights" look from them. So I went up and asked customer service if they knew anything, and of course they didn't...

I phoned Safeway head office and was told that there is a $9900.00 daily limit on the pharmacy 7x offer. If anyone goes over that have them break your prescription down into smaller amounts.

If you buy an item using the direct email deals, then return the item, do you keep the airmiles? I suspect you do, because unlike normal airmile deals where your airmiles are credited to you automatically in the computer as your item is scanned, with direct to e-mail its up to the cashier to punch in the number, which has no electronic link to the item itself from what I can tell.

richknebel
Nov 16th, 2009, 01:34 AM

First of all I DON'T SCAM Safeway or AirMiles.ca out of any Air Miles.

I have over 3500 air miles for 09 already in my account above broad. With out using a spend $100 get 100 bonus Air Miles coupon. Or any special bonus coupon.

You may get away with it once. But the price is tried into your Club Card.

It's a form of shoplifting and stealing. You might not think so. But it is.

You will just make it harder and cost more for everyone else to get Air Miles.

If I have no need for the product that has the bonus I give the item to the Food Bank.

Maybe you should move to Toronto where you can go shopping at Metro for your groceries and be luckly to get 20 bonus air miles for spending $40 dollars.

By trying to Scam Safeway out of Air Miles you will just ruin it for everyone else.

Believe me I don't need you to give Safeway another reason to continue to raise prices. :)

I wouldn't doubt it if you buy pizza and use ham coupon and get the bonus. However, the bonus Airmiles should appear at the bottom of the receipt. Otherwise, you can wait a year and still wouldn't get the bonus and how do you dispute? After three months and show Safeway the ham coupon and the receipt for pizza?

Just came from safeway. Yes the price tag says $4.99, however I went through the till and it rang up as $1.99 each, and that's what is on my receipt as well. The Butcher Cut Ham is $3.98 for 2, but is mislabeled in the store as $4.99 each. Or perhaps it is $4.99 but is entered into the computer wrongly. In any case, what you pay is $1.99 each. It is still the week's best deal.

Yes it appears on the receipt. But I don't think that matters. 30 min ago I was at safeway. I bought the butcher's ham which was $3.98 for 2, and 50 am with the coupon. But here's the interesting part; at the end of the transaction, I had not seen the cashier plug in my coupon so I asked "did you use the coupon?". She hesitated for a moment thinking, then plugged it in, and sure enough the number '1' popped up on her screen which is what normally happens with the email direct coupons. Now I'm at home and I look at my receipt - 100 am. Sure enough, the coupon code is listed twice on my receipt. The cashier must have put it in quickly at the start of my transaction and I didn't notice, then forgot and put it in again when I asked about it.

What's the point of this? It's that yes it goes on the receipt. But no, there is no permanent link between the item and the coupon, they are separate things. That's why the coupon bonus is listed separately under the 'MISCELLANEOUS' portion of the receipt and then again at the bottom. This is not like normal airmiles deals where the miles are automatically added when the item is scanned, and listed only at the bottom of the receipt. Those miles are permanently connected to the item itself in safeway's computer system, email direct miles are not. If you bought only a quart of milk, and for some crazy reason the cashier punched in 7 different email direct coupons with your transaction, all those miles would show up on your receipt. Its the cashier punching in the code that gets you the miles, not buying the item.

So what I know for a fact is if the cashier puts in the code, the miles go on your receipt. What I don't know is whether airmiles or safeway has any way of correcting for when a cashier punches in the code for the wrong item, or punches in the code twice like happened to me today. I will let you know once my miles get posted to my account. If indeed the 100 am on my receipt results in 100am in my account, that proves positively that the coupon and the item have no link to one another. That probably also means that it works in the reverse direction - that if you return an item that bought using an email direct coupon, they probably have to punch in some other code to specifically retract your miles as well after refunding your purchase. Maybe there is no code for that, or maybe they just don't care or forget most of the time, I don't know. A few days ago I returned some GO Cola I bought last week on a B3G50am emaildirect deal once I realized that real Coke was a better deal this week. I did not notice any additional codes being punched in to deduct the emaildirect miles. They did not however issue me a refund receipt so I don't have an exact record of what happened. They only wrote 'refunded' over the item on the receipt

I think you are correct on the returns as well. A few weeks ago I had a purchase where I used a spend $100 get 250 airmiles coupon. I realized there was some mistake with the purchase and I had to return an item or two. I asked the CSR about the 250 bonus airmiles and was told something to the effect that "you don't ever lose airmiles once they're earned."

Let us know when you get the miles credited to your account.

I meant Coke bought in the 1L bottles with it's airmiles deal. Its $7.50 for 50 am ($0.15/am). Go Cola was $11.67 for 50 am ($0.23/am). That's not considering the deposit, which you pay for 6 bottles vs 36 cans. Since in both cases I'm getting > 100% return value on my purchase, the best deal is simply whichever gets more miles for less money. Plus Coke is better than GO.

Correction to the previous - it was actually the 175g package now that I look at it. The $4.99 email direct price ticket was however clearly posted on that rack. My guess: staff placed email-direct pricetag on wrong item. Previous post edited.

Very true. Per unit of cola volume, the GO may be the better deal based on store cost alone. When you factor in the am, I'm not sure which wins but in my case my primary goal was the am.

I've heard that at many safeway's 500 is the max. Apparently its up to each store, when I asked at my local store they said there is no max.

And a quick note - check other places in the store for the bottles. At my local store the pop/chips aisle was sold out of them, but there was a large seperate rack near the back of the store in the open area near the packaged meats with only 1L bottles. Sometimes for specials, they will put the product in a different location for visibility so look around.

With our re-launch we are no longer able to split transactions to award air mile bonuses. The miles will be accumulated per transaction and will no longer accumulate weekly. We apologize for any inconvenience these promotions may have caused you.'

Madison Sq Safeway in Winnipeg indicated I couldn't stack the spend $100 get 250 airmiles on top of the max 500 airmiles from the coke. Just FYI for anyone wishing to stock up on Airmiles offers from there.

Kind of a slow week for Good Air Miles Deals at Safeway.

There are a lot of deals in the flyer but most are 30 cents + per mile. Not really worth buy the extra number of items to get the bonus air miles.

The email coupons could be good but don't really know until I see the prices.


Buy 4 Purex Bath Tissue Double 12 Roll or 24 Roll. LIMIT FOUR get 100 Air Miles for $23.96 (24 cents per mile)
Part of Kruger mix and match event with higher price items.

Ive posted this before.....

TTinYVR possibly consider adding this to the front page because we see it asked quite often..



The airmiles limit Breakdown

-Limit 10x PER OFFER or 500 airmiles per offer PER DAY (whichever is greater)
*tested and succeeded, this does NOT apply per store. You can go to another location if you wish*

-The per offer per day example as follows
10x or 500 am for coke deal
10x or 500 am for chef boy r dee
10x or 500 am for purex
etc etc etc



THERE IS NO TOTAL LIMIT!!!! THE ONLY LIMIT IS THE 10X or 500 PER OFFER PER DAY


You can do a bill as follows
Example only
-10x a purex deal worth 50 airmiles for 2 bags = 500 airmiles (max)
-10x a powerade deal worth 30 airmiles for 6 bottles = 300 airmiles (max)
-10x a cascade dishwasher deal worth 25 airmiles per can = 250 airmiles(max)
-10x a cadbury offer worth 50 airmiles = 500 Airmiles (max)

Then slap a spend $100 get 100 airmiles, or a spend $300 get 300 am, or a 5x airmiles coupon on top (whichever is going on at the time)

This purchase would land you 500+300+250+500+100 = 1650 airmiles for these items (not that anyone typically would purchase that much)

But I can say there is NO TOTAL limit, and you CAN get the 500 airmiles for coke products and use a 100am coupon...... I know because I was able to buy 120 powerades last week (great for hockey) in 2 separate transactions and use the 100am coupon.


I 100% guarantee you its 500 per offer and this is the ONLY limit
I 100% guarantee you you can get as many airmiles on one receipt as you want when staying at the 10x offer and buying multiple offers




Once again, you can go store to store. Last month I bought the Royal deal for 500 airmiles, drove to another safeway and bought 500 more airmiles worth of Royal products and got them BOTH in my airmiles account, and both showed on the receipt

How it works is IF it shows on your receipt, you will get exactly that. I have tried to purchase 11x a duracell deal and it only gave me 10x the offer.

Hope this answers all questions

Let us know when you get the miles credited to your account.

I just had the airmiles credited for when I bought GO Cola deal x 2 (50 am x 2). But it was a week later when I returned one of them, so I will wait to see if I lose those miles in a week.

can anyone tell me how this 10xbase air miles promo works?
So for example if I spend $35 and buy 2 rolls of the toilet paper i will get 10x50 airmiles = 500?

Nope, its 10x the base airmiles. Base airmiles are 1AM for every $20 spent. So $40 purchase would get you 20AM + any promotional airmiles on top.

That would be awesome.. ~$70 of Air Miles for buying $14 product. I'd quit my day job! :)

But unfortunately no. It's just on the base amount. So if you spend $40, you would get 2 Air Miles.. + 18 bonus Air Miles .. or ~$2.52 worth. You're better off in most cases to take the 10% discount.

From post #1 today:

Air Miles for Gift Cards.

Buy $50 in Gift Cards get 10 Bonus Air Miles.
Buy $100 in Gift Cards get 50 Bonus Air Miles
Excluding Safeway Store and Visa Gift Cards
http://safeway.ca.inserts2online.com.../b566699_7.jpg

But when I click on your link, it only shows 25 AM when you buy $100. Too bad, I was really excited over the 50AM- I'm almost out of my gas gift cards from the SDM promotion.

There are some deal that are in the flyer that I have to check the prices in store to see if they are worth posting about.

There are a lot of small deals but nothing worth buying the items just for the miles.

Local deals:

I have added Fleetwood in Surrey (Thanks to Jokeracing) plus the Willowbrook and the Fraser Crossing in Langley Safeway's to the Metro Vancouver local deals section. They all have the Spend $40 get 5x your base Air Miles offer with special flyer deals just like Maple Ridge now. Not great but at least it's something.
