Thanks for posting the upcoming Safeway Air Miles bonus offers, OB.

e-auction update: The $200 Safeway Gift Card is at 8030 AM*. It might be time to start developing some conspiracy theories.

* See post #4295.

8030 Seriously? People cannot really be that dense? I had a little more faith in humanity!!!

Hm... This must have been a bogus bid because it's back down to a mere 4030 AM this morning.

[VEGAS PILGRIM]

By process of elimination, reading the new flier--the only item left on the page

MACBOOK PRO!!

OK group--you've got a hour's heads up

Might have been a couple of bogus bids - I saw it at 6030 for a while before it went to 8030.

Makes 4030 seem like a bargain!

Definitely smells fishy though - someone at Safeway pushing the bidding maybe...?

[emax]

Speaking of conspiracy theories, my facebook comments from a couple of days ago, one of which included a link to my spreadsheet, were never posted on the Safeway Facebook page.

[operabob]

Speaking of conspiracy theories,

Maybe Zuckerberg collects AirMiles!

They had a few instances last time where unusual bids appeared that were later lowered.

Nice prediction! At 6000AM, get 'em while they're hot!

[emax]

Gone in 60 seconds!

[VEGAS PILGRIM]

Thanks--not hard when all the items pictured have already appeared

A three minute sellout, and I did get one--tougher than last year--only 80 across Canada...for your spreadsheet, about $660 of cost for $1249retail (apple never discounts, of course) Now off to Safeways to start replenishing those 6000 AM's that just went away )

Nice prediction! At 6000AM, get 'em while they're hot!

[emax]

already on the spreadsheet - same model is on sale @ Futureshop for $1200. Definitely a good deal at 6000AM (if you're one of those Apple kool-aid drinkers that is...)

Congrats, VEGAS PILGRIM. Indeed, this was a great deal.

Hi all,

I'm new to this site, but very happy I found it!!

I didn't read this entire thread, but I read enough to see that there are a few eyebrows being raised about the validity of the e-auction.........I also have concerns about it, and have been in touch with Safeway e-auction admin. Please see below for my comments, and think what you will...... Cheers!

Just wondering....is it possible for someone to post a BOGUS bid? IE: currently, a trip for 2 to Hawaii is over 72000 Air Miles. OK, maybe, possibly, if the guy is on crack, but seriously.........if it is indeed a bogus bid, what happens next? Is it possible for Safeway and AirMiles to be connected in future Auctions, so that BOGUS/FALSE bids don't happen???? In other words.....when we sign up for the Safeway e-Auction, our Airmiles are already accounted for, and tallied...... Safeway knows how many miles we have available to spend, and Air Miles has given Safeway the permission to take it from our account, the second the Auction closes. Is that possible? Thank You



We monitor all bids on all items throughout the day. This was an error in typing and this bid was retracted right away. Thanks



Prize Admin Office




Again, I question the validity of the following items:


$200 Safeway gift card for.........8030 air miles????????????????



Softtub 6 person Hot Tub..................53850 air miles?????????????????????????



Seriously?????????????????



This is likely a SCAM through AIR miles, to try and get people to bid away their life savings.

I'm not impressed.





Obviously we cannot control what people bid on items or if they have made a mistake while bidding. We are in the process of looking at these two bids.

Prize Admin Office




You understand how unfair the process is though.....


If this IS a partnership project between Safeway and Airmiles, there MUST be a way to ensure that the people who are bidding, ACTUALLY do have that amount of Air Miles in their account upon bidding.


Please consider my thoughts during your next round table meetings, and consult with a Web Designer on the topic.


Thank you.
