[operabob]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

250 Bonus AMs from the Shell gas coupon offer were added to my account today.

How long did it take for you to get the 250 Bonus AM back? I redeemed 10 of $20 on Oct 30 and received the gift certificates late November...Just wondering when should I contact airmiles if I don't see the 250 AM shown on my account...Thanks!

[operabob]

I'd contact them. Took less than a month for me.

Check back in your account. With this new monthly system they use points could be awarded retroactively and you wouldn't see them.

Just a few thoughts:

1. Safeway had (and I stress had) a reputation for being over-priced. That is in the past and you'll often find Safeway more than competitive especially when you include the average value of AirMiles offered on heavily discounted manufacturers weekly specials. In fact over the last few weeks it was possible to get more in value in AirMiles than it cost to buy the product.

2. The average value of an AirMiles to the consumer is approximately $0.14. Using an average value helps one determine a comparative value to the same product in other stores. The most popular method of valuing AirMiles I find is to take a product and determine how much it cost to buy an AirMile with it.

This could lead to two products: A costing $0.20 and Airmile and B costing $2.00 an Airmile.

To my mind valuing AMs this way just encourages people to buy as much a product A rather than B. People could end up buying for the sake of getting AirMiles rather than products they use at good prices or can donate to charity cost effectively. But how do you know if A is a good deal.

Dec. 5 - 12:

In the following first number is sale price. Second number is effective value based on $0.14/AM). If there is a multiple offer, ie, B3G15 & B6G45 a third number corresponds to the value of the extra offer.

With effective valuing you can compare the relative prices of a product after accounting for the AirMiles against the same product in another store. For example,

If Coca-Cola is $2.00 with 10 Airmiles it has an effective value of $0.60 [$2 - (10 x $0.14)]. If another store is selling the same product for $1 you know the effect of the AirMiles beats that price.

Print off a copy of the following to take comparison shopping.



SS = Safeway Select
Saf = Safeway
Sig =Signature
Sch = Schneider's
GMS = Gourmet Meat Shop
OO = O Organics
ER = Eating Right
ML = Maple Leaf
BC = Betty Crocker
NPG = No Price Given

P.1


Heinz Beans/Pasta B10G25 $1/0.65 : I'm listing this as a goodie because many of you will have the Heinz B3G1 coupons. Effectively this reduces the cost to $0.40/tin. Pretty hard to beat that price on Heinz.

Let me know if I've missed anything.

Also, if you do use your AMs for flights instead of products in all likelihood you can set the effective prices lower. However, it is always a good thing to cross reference with an Airlines website prices to make sure. Don't forget you pay the taxes extra.

Finally, to all of you who have thanked me for this thread, thank you back as well.

Should be an AM special on them soon.

Alberta,

TY

Unlike other sites you don't have to upload the images individually to another hosting website to post them here (I think you might be doing something like that).

Just left click your mouse and drag over the picture. Then right click and choose "copy". You can then paste the pictures here all at once without losing the links like this:

<table width="534" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td width="612"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="612"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="612"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="612"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="612"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> </tr><tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td></tr></tbody></table>

Now you can just place your cursor into the image, click & print.
