Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[*JustMe]

Thank you! I'll be glued to the computer on Monday! Been craving for an ipod touch for a long time! Did they ask you to enter your address at any point?

Actually, they didn't ask for my address. The only info I gave during my registration was safeway#, airmiles#, name, phone number, and my safeway store. Most items (with the exception of really large things or really small things ie;gift cards or tvs) will be sent to the store and they will phone you for pick up when the item arrives.

Good Luck on Monday!

LOVE this thread by the way!!

Thanks.

Could well be the only thread that's a real discussion board at this site.

So did the first Coffee Group Buy fail or go through?
I never got an email either way.

Thanks

It said it filled with about 2 minutes to go. I noticed they were still 5 short with about 5 minutes to go.

Gonna pass too although it's not a bad deal when you consider Wal-Mart sells electric bicycles for around $900-$1000. Despite the MSRP of $699 so who knows what it'd really sell for you're still only spending $285 in AirMiles and I assume the taxes are covered as well.

Hmmm, going to have to ponder this one a bit. Was looking at the one up for auction, but started going too high. Never used one of these electric bikes before, but tempting as commuter vehicle (save the money on gas, plus can park right at my office rather than 4 blocks away like with the vehicle).

Of course, with 4-6 weeks for delivery, probably get it just in time for snow

[operabob]

One thing to consider is that with an MSRP of $699 this is a pretty low-end bike which might break down easily. If it's like other AM offers if they ship you something that is broken they refuse to take responsibility and you end up having to deal with the manufacturer directly which could be a problem.

Did a bit of looking around. Appears this is a discontinued model. Canadian Tire used to sell it - not sure for how much.. but there are some bad reviews on the battery there (it's lead acid (not good) vs lithium ion (good).

Looks like a Denial of Service again this morning. Just got online (8:27 (9.27 MT)) after getting my people to task.

Looks like the electric bike was a no go unless they got 29 people in the last 14 minutes.

Last I looked the $500 Safeway GC was at 9,980. Could have got $1,140 in gas for that.

Someone is over a 1,000 on the $100 GC and over 3,000 on the $250 GC which is even worse.

Here's a good one:


$3000 VIA Rail Gift Card
Current Bid:
10,050

Next Bid: 10,100
Number of Bids: 33


Only bidding $1,150 worth of miles so far.

The bike didn't go. I did get in this morning (as well as Saturday! - don't hate me! ).
