Sorry everyone.

I have the flyer but left it at work.

I do know the McCain are 2 for $10 (approx. 500g-900g).

There are $2 coupons out now so with luck you'd get 2 for $6 (or $3 each) and pick up 20 AMs worth approx. $2.80.

Effectively the pizza becomes $1.60 each.

where do you get the $2 Mccain coupons?

Someone mailed me a couple found in a grocery store.

Another reminder when you get alot of airmiles make sure you keep your receipt, and the flyer from that week... I recieved my airmiles into my account from my shopping trip 2 weeks ago and they are missing 100 Airmiles... Unfortunately your supposed to wait 60 days before contacting airmiles that the are missing.... still waiting for Feb 5 to roll around to claim 250 missing airmiles from that awesome buy 5 get 50AM Quaker bar special...

You're definetly right about keeping your reciepts.
I just wanted to mention my method though, that hasn't given me ANY problems [except holding up the line a bit]

I purchase a gc before the transaction [a safeway gc], and collect airmiles on the purchase. I then use that gc to pay for my groceries. The key part of this is ringing through each promotion [only if buying multiple 'sets' of the promo- ie, buying 25 boxes of granola bars when they're B5get25am] seperately. So, you can either do your full order, minus the second [and third, fourth, fifth] set, then do purchases with each multiple set following, paying for each seperately.
It's a bit of a pain sometimes, but if you offer to bag, and hand them your Safeway card and gc, they can scan and swipe, then continue onto the next set with no hesitation.
Just a suggestion. A cashier at Customer service reccomended doing the sets seperately when I asked if multiple ams promos would be credited if I bought them all on one bill; having the money on a gc allows for a speedy payment not requiring your assistance, so you can bag and get out the door quickly. Just make sure [as you should always] that your airmiles and Safeway card was scanned on EACH reciept before leaving the store]

Good idea, but I bought 135 granola bar boxes on that transaction, that would be 45 transactions, haha you should have seen the cashiers eyes when I showed up in line, I probably would have given her a heart attack if I asked for seperate transactions.

LOL!!! I had a good chuckle imagining that one
Now I'm wondering... how long did the 135 boxes last? Are you sick of the brand now?!

[sniperc151]

Bought them back in December and I still have about 100 boxes left, they are great for snacks while at work, we've given some away and no not quite sick of them yet as we got several varieties of the granola bars. We got about 2500 airmiles from the transaction which essentially made them free.

I stumbled upon this site a few weeks ago and had to reply! People think I am airmiles crazy, but you guys win hands down! i bow down to you!

as for missing airmiles....over the years i had had to deal with thousands! so here is what i do now
I have a large envelope that i paperclip paper too. and everytime i get bonus airmiles I paperclip the reciept to the envelope and write everything about the purchase on the paper. ie, date, bonus airmiles, and total. when they get credited to my account I put the recipet in the envelope and tick it off my list. so when it doesn't get credited i have it all right there. and I never email them. they always tell me to call safeway. so I just call safeway now. I've never had any problems either. they sometimes make me fax my reciepts in, but thats it.

The small print says their own gift cards are excluded from bonus AM offers. Can you clarify more.
