Help again Safeway,Airmiles,etc

[Kelkens]

So Tues.Dec.1 is Customer Appreciation at Safeway. I have always taken the 10% off if there are items there that I want(this week they have chicken breasts on sale)..

However there are couple of other items that I purchase that have bonus airmiles..

Can anyone tell me if you elect to take the 10 times the Airmiles instead of the 10% off do you get 10 times the bonus airmiles on those products.

If you do that would be a way better deal as you can redeem 175 AM for $25 Rexall gift card..

It's only on your base airmiles.

[Kelkens]

Oh well then the 10% off is a better deal..

Thanks though I am still new at trying to make the AM and other reward points give me the best deal..

If you have BMO airmiles mastercard or an AMEX airmiles card, charge your groceries and take the 10% discount.

You really need the credit cards to rack up the airmiles and banking at BMO helps a lot as well.

Yeah, I'm not sure who would take the airmiles - maybe if you're buying for a business and are writing off the cost anyway? I always take the 10%.

[Alberta_Girl]

I always take the 10% too

I just started using American Express but unfortunately not all business take it..like Superstore doesn't probably as they have their own reward system with a PC account..
