Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[Miss Molly]

I got an email from Air Miles today saying my missing miles will be added to my account "shortly". I don't know how they define "shortly" and I don't know how many miles they decided I earned.

Update: This morning I woke up and saw 72 airmiles x 3 from the 25x event and 3 base airmiles x 3. Why 72 and not 75? So I wrote to them and asked and they replied that they added 18 airmiles to my account this morning as well as the 100 bonus miles. So at least that's over and done with.

BTW the Best Western travel card is available right now. I just cashed in for one.

Just went through Fairway: grapes $1.00/lb.

Noticed Oatmeal Crisp with Free Product Coupons. They are $5.99 at Fairway. Safeway has the B6G50 on for 3 for $10. Don't know if it's old stock or new but if you can find same at Safeway it's a heck of a deal.

This is the same GM offer as the cheerios. There is some time left on it. Just watch your box size on the B6G50 offer to make sure they match up. They didn't quite match up on the last offer... it was only about a 50 gram difference so if your not paying attention you could miss out. Yogurt is a option for the freebies too and sometimes it matches up with the airmiles.

On the topic of Best Western,

"Earn 40 Bonus reward miles when you register and stay at Best Western before November 30."

From Air Miles Canada FB:
"[I]n order to qualify for the Bonus Offer, Best Western requires you to be enrolled as a member of the Best Western Rewards Program, have chosen AIR MILES reward miles as your earning preference, register for the Fall Promotion, and book a qualified stay at a Best Western. To see full details, click on the link above and then the Terms and Conditions link on the Best Western Page."

The usual is 20/stay so this is good.

However I get 25%+ extra points at the moment with BW Rewards so I won't switch. You can switch between BW Rewards and AMs once a month I recall.

I saw that movie years ago but I totally forgot that was part of the plot, I should watch it again.

Quotes

[Barry looks around... ]
Barry: Healthy Choice and American Airlines got together and put this promotion: If you buy any 10 Healthy Choice products, they will reward you with 500 frequent flier miles; with this special coupon, they'll up it to 1,000 miles. So, I think they are trying to push their teriyaki chicken which is $1.79, but I went to the supermarket and I looked around and I saw that they had pudding... for 25¢ a cup... comes in packages of four. But insanely... the barcodes... are on the individual cups! So, quarter a cup, say you bought $2.50 worth. That's worth 500... with the coupon it's 1,000 miles. It's a marketing mistake but I'm taking advantage of it. If you were to spend $3,000, that would get you a million frequent flier miles. You would never have to pay for a ticket the rest of your life.
Lena: You... you bought all that pudding so that you could get frequent flier miles?

ROTFMAO!

Funny thing is I got into the Airmiles thing and realized the advantages of donating to charity without knowing anything about this story.

A few years back Safeway had a promo on pet food that was almost one of these. Someone here bought a couple thousand dollars worth and got 3 or 4 times that value back after donating to an animal shelter for a tax receipt. Just after that Safeway brought in the 500AM/offer/day maximum.

One year I donated about $2,000 worth to a foodbank and got about $4,000 in AMs plus a tax receipt. That was when 1AM = $0.139, EGGOs were $2 + bonus AMs and there were $1 coupons.

Not as easy to do now. Still....!

Also, a couple years back there was an offer on baked beans (?????) in Eastern Canada. One of the eastern chains was clearing them out a a ridiculous price and a lot of people loaded up.

It would be nice to roll that into the old el paso transactions. Do a couple use the card and pay $2 and get $3.15 back in air miles would work nicely!

Pretty pleased with my Old El Paso purchases tonight--
1 dinner kit paid with a FPC + 1 Salsa + $4.79 hamburger (- $4 off beef wub kit coupon), + 6 packages of tortillas = 60 airmiles + all 6 tortilla packages have $5 of coupons on each of them and the dinner kit has another $4 hamburger wub another kit coupon on it. And I used my $10 GC from the GM promo.
On top of that I got the 5 Safeway Ap Jc and 2 Nestle choc bar's free from the scratch card promo.
So I paid $12.45 for everything above (minus the $6 value of airmiles and $34 in coupons), so I think I'm in the black by a bit
Happy dance time!

Any of us get the bonus AMs from the Shell special card yet like the one Tommy sent me?

I never got them either. I think they just screwed us out of them. Well no more Gas from Shell for me!

Update: This morning I woke up and saw 72 airmiles x 3 from the 25x event and 3 base airmiles x 3. Why 72 and not 75? So I wrote to them and asked and they replied that they added 18 airmiles to my account this morning as well as the 100 bonus miles. So at least that's over and done with.

72 bonus and 3 regular would be correct. Total of 75.

The promo was 25x Air Miles. 25x 3 (base) = 75... which is what you originally (and should have) earned. The promo was not base plus an additional 25x Air Miles.

Ron.
