Allright, that appears to be it for offers this week and hey I got the mailing this morning so hopefully they corrected the problem.

Playing the game:

All the boxes are are 5Xs base miles on a $60 purchase except 2 which are 10Xs.

Just to save you the work:

The box furthest left is 10Xs.

Hi! Re: The Safeway Email Direct Holiday Game -- if you keep clicking the link in your email and opening a new window, you can try each and every box and guess what? There is also a 15X and a 25X the airmiles points!! Keep trying!! I printed out several of the 25x the points...off to Safeway I go for chewy bars!!

[operabob]

Tech,

Well, heck if you can do that you can pick up 25 x 3AMs = 75 AMs on a $60 purchase.

As I have a $10/AM credit card wonder if I'd get 150 AMs?

Great find.

Just ran off 3 (a couple for friends).

Hi operabob!

It does say that it's only a limit of one bonus offer per visit. I just made sure I purchased alot of airmiles products (that amazingly were on sale -- that never happens for me!), plus the safeway I was at had the previous weeks' airmile deal still posted and the very cool manager said since it was still out that they'd manually enter that one--along with the 25x point bonus. So if all works out, I think I just picked up at least 5,750 air miles in one shopping visit.

This safeway also had a lot of unpublished airmile deals in the store that I was able to take advantage of. I am hoping, hoping, hoping that it works out the way it's supposed to!!

I'd be very curious to see if you managed to stack the bonus points using your AM credit card!! Might be time to look into one of those if you can!

[operabob]

Don't know what you bought.

The 25Xs would apply to "base" miles only which is 1AM/$20.

So if an item is a Bonus of 50AMs you don't get 50 AMs x 25 = 1250AMs.

[TechW]

Ohhhhhh! So if it says in the flyer "Buy 3, earn 50 air miles reward miles," those are bonus? I'm wondering because they also have some signs in our store that actually say "Bonus Air Miles Product."

If it is only the 1 per $20, then I'm only getting 225

I mean, better than nothing but not the 5,000+ I was envisioning boo hoo!! (I was calculating it the same way that Shoppers does their Optimum points)

[operabob]

Yeah, 5,000 AMs is approx. = $700 value and they aren't going to give you that on a $60 purchase.

Not sure about the one bonus offer per visit though. It might be specifically stated for the B3G50AMs on the Quaker but I often buy multiple offers at the same time and get multiple bonuses.

[TechW]

You're right about the multiples: when I buy several rounds of the requisite multiples, I, too, get the multiple bonuses.

For the one bonus offer per visit, I meant right on the The Safeway Email Direct Holiday Game coupon you printed out: on that 25X printed coupon, it says only 1 bonus offer per visit (I guess to prevent holiday gift box bonus coupon stacking?).

[operabob]

Gotcha!

[operabob]

Re: Multiples

While I always get multiple bonuses on the in flyer offers if I buy bulk I'm wondering about the email.direct offers.

Awhile back they had a B2G75AMs on house brand pop.

I bought 3 offers in 3 separate purchases but so far have only received one bonus while items purchased 12 days later are already credited in my account.

Anyone else notice similar?

Dec. 6 - 13 can be found here now:

OK, all you coupon collectors this could be a good one for you.

Some Kraft products are a B6G50AMs this week.

Included are:

Cakesters
Thinsations
Bagelfuls

They are 2 for $5

There are a lot of $0.50 coupons floating about on these products lately. Possibly $1.00 coupons as well.

Regardless, Buy 6 = $15

If you use six $0.50 coupons you're down to 6 for $12

50 AMs = $7 approx value so you're effectively getting 6 for $5 ($12 - $7) or $0.83 each.

OK, now suppose you have the Entertainment Book.

There's a $5 off coupon on a $50 purchase at Safeway. Buy the Kraft as part of a $50 purchase (and get the $5 off before the other coupons and it's:

6 for $13.50 ($5/$50 = 10%)

Apply coupons = 6 for $10.50 - $7AMs = $3.50 or just under $0.60 each.

If you've got $1.00 coupons you're down to $0.10 each.

Buy a whack. Donate them to a food bank for the tax receipt and you make money.

Love it.

Was in Safeway today so I thought I'd check out this week's prices to see how the Kraft B6G50AMs special matches up next week.

Cakesters: This week $4.62 Next week $2.50 That's 46% lower

Thinsations: This week $2.99 Next week $2.50 That's 16% lower

Couldn't find the "Bagelfuls.

If you eat this junk it looks to be a really good deal especially the Cakesters.
