Rock,

Here's the Canada Safeway website with a link to the coupon policy at the bottom so it should be current.

http://www.safeway.ca/

My guess is the manager made up policy on the spot. Been known to happen before. I guess you could direct him/her to the site or print off a copy.

Thanks Bob-
now I'm not too happy. I don't mind if a company says for example- we will not accept internet coupons- like I said that's they're right but state it as you mention under their coupon policy then. Don't make things up. It's not so much the few dollars- it's the principal although the dollars obviously factor in. That is why I post here. I'm certainly going to follow up and let them know. I'll let this forum know when/if they reply.
Thank You.
PS- this forum is great. I've saved a ton and got great tips/advice.

I emailed them with receipt number and particulars. See what they say.

Is anybody else still waiting for Air Miles to be posted to their account from Safeway purchases made up to and including Saturday March 23rd?

I mentioned I'd reply when I got a reply to my inquiry to Safeway. This is their answer to this point and my further reply.

I've cooled down a little since I wrote you. I read your coupon policy after
being directed there by a member of the Safeway forum I watch for specials
and comments. It isn't a problem if what I'm told is true- but it is a big
problem if I'm told stuff that is not true. In this case the cashier advised
me that Safeway's policy had changed and that they no longer accept internet
coupons . She told me it was because of Safeway having to deal with
fraudulent coupons. She then mentioned Advil was on sale with airmiles and
asked if I wanted to still buy the product. I said yes. In reading Safeway's
coupon policy I did see only 1 coupon per transaction for a particular
product accepted. I had 2 for Advil capsules at $2 per and 1 coupon for
Advil Nighttime at $2 so while perhaps I only was entitled to $4 off instead
of $6 I still think I should have gotten $4 off. It isn't so much the $4 or
$6 but being told something that isn't Safeway policy at all- at least not
in print. So for me and I will relay what I hear- is what I want to know for
next time is- if I take a legitimate printed internet coupon into Safeway-
will it be accepted or not? I can assure you it is not fraudulant. The advil
coupons came direct from Advil's site. It does make a difference in what I
do. I've been a longtime customer of Safeway spending thousands of dollars a
year at Safeway and I will still shop there no question but perhaps less and
I will report what happens. The $6 not a big deal in the scheme of things
except I've also lost a few hundred airmiles even after having them put in
the book so all these things make me a little peeved. Safeway has good
people but when a cashier tells me policy that is not true and the manager
confirms it when she phones to confirm- I do get peeved. I don't need to
resolve the $6 question- I need you to tell me the policy clearly so I can
know what to do in the future.
Thank You.

I too was told they no longer take internet coupons printed in Winnipeg. They actually told me that mine looked like they were copied. So I came home and printed off the "how to tell if a coupon is copied" took it back with my coupons and they did let me use them. However, I was really treated poorly and felt really awful about the whole experience. I went back just to 'clear' my name.

Jezz, what I would do is get a rain check for the Barilla pasta and see if it comes out in the next 90 days....

Just a note...I went to Safeway to scout out their Barilla pasta and they don't have whole wheat! They checked their ordering database and its not on SWs list of stuff they can get in even as a special order....grrrrr!

Bob,

I was in Safeway on Saturday and noticed they had the Kashi cereal on for buy 3 for 50 air miles at $5 a box. If you have the $2.00 off coupons I think that's a pretty decent deal. (Is it?) Also I didn't see it in the flyer? Seems odd to me. I will wait for Tuesday to make the deal better. Let me know.

I know what you mean. That's why I decided to get a color printer.

Would work out to $3/$1.25 after a $2 coupon.

This has been an unadvertised AM special in the past.

Just 2 weeks ago we had the B5G50 $2/0.95 unadvertised special on Pringles.

When I'm in I usually troll the aisles for these specials and a few of us are known to post pictures here of the same.
