Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[kelsie94]

I went to Safeway to today to buy Sunlight Laundry detergent B1G1 free and use my FPC to pay for it. Well that didn't work out, the cashier wouldn't enter the FPC for $7.60 which is the price of the Sunlight ,she would only enter it for half the price which was $3.80, I tried to explain to her that she should be entering it for $7.60 but she said if it's B1G1 free she can only enter the coupon for half the cost of the product.

I gave up after about 5 minutes and just left my Sunlight laundry detergent there.

No way am I going to use my FPC to only get 50% off.

Has anyone else had problems using their Sunlight FPC's with the B1G1 deal? or more importantly has anyone been successful doing that?

Some people have but I was told no at my Safeway. I contacted Head Office and was told you can't use a FPC on B1G1. Sorry you got a hassle over using yours.

Thanks for the response. That's too bad.

London Drugs sometimes has B1G1 Free on the Sunlight Laundry detergent, I know they did a couple of times last year anyway, I bet I won't have a problem using them at LD if they have that sale again.

I've used several sunlight fpc at Safeway's b1g1 sale with success in the past, the last time about a month, maybe 2 ago.
I will try again this week.

There's nothing specific I can see on a quick skim of Safeway's coupon policy but #12 does seem applicable in individual stores to their benefit.

I think what you received is what I call a "COD Effect" (Clerk O'the Day) where an employee, not sure or faced with unclear information panics and makes up policy on the spot. You could always ask CS to call head office for a definitive interpretation.

"COD Effect" Priceless.

"COD" -- Love your humor operabob--thanks for the laugh!

I think if you have an FPC and there's a BOGO on there's probably a better chance of it going through as part of a total shop rather than by itself.

Most of the cashiers aren't aware of what and what is not a BOGO unless you mention it to them and will just take the price off manually.

The Raid and Off 50% coupon is great this week if you happened to have the Manufacture $3.00 coupons that are out there.
Remember you can use a manufacture coupon with the Safeway Coupons.

If you have a raincheck from one safeway, can you use it at another safeway?
Does anyone know??

This is so true! I was able to use my FPC's at previous visits. On my latest visit though, when I tried to use my FPC on the B1G1 Sunlight I had 4 FPC's so had 8 Sunlight in my cart. The cashier was fairly new and didn't know how to enter the coupons so called over a lady from customer service (just my luck). The CS lady freaked out cause I was getting 8 free - seemed more personal than professional if you ask me! I called Head Office about it and they put me through to my Safeway manager who was very rude about the whole thing. Twice now I've called Head Office and both times they patched me through to my local Safeway!! Why even bother with Head Office?

Butchers at one Safeway honoured a raincheck for me from another Safeway once but I can't guarantee it's system wide policy.

Ratz, my BOGOs on Lysol expired June 12 so I didn't buy any.

Ended up with the new manager as my cashier. Staff came over and made sure she knew me and pointed out they often seek my help with AM queries. Good staff at my Safeway!

I have done this several occasions and had no problems.
