Update 12/15/23: Sure enough, this digital coupon should now be showing up on accounts where your region runs from Friday to Thursday. It seems like this might be stacking with existing deals offering bonus points, so if that’s true it could make for some extremely rewarding deals.
The Deal
- Earn 5x points on all third party gift cards at Safeway, Albertsons & other Just For U stores.
- Direct link to digital coupon.
Key Terms
- Expires December 19, 2023 (or December 21, 2023 depending on region).
- Unlimited use.
- Excludes, Visa, Mastercard & American Express gift cards, Albertsons companies own brand gift cards, fuel gift cards, telecom gift cards & general purpose reloadable debit cards.
- One offer per transaction.
Tips & Ideas
5x points can be redeemed for up to 12.5% back towards gas, or a lesser amount on groceries (or for Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles). This is therefore a superb deal seeing as it’s valid on high value brands like Amazon, Best Buy, etc.
However, be sure to read this next section before loading the digital coupon and buying anything. This offer is being shown in the weekly ad in regions where their week runs Wednesday-Tuesday. That means for them, the offer ends December 19. Other regions have their week run Friday-Thursday, so I imagine that their offer will expire on December 21 rather than only having five days to use it – be sure to double check that though.
The next important thing is that the digital coupon wasn’t showing up when doing a search for it in the normal place where you find digital coupons. Instead, to find it I had to open the ad (probably best to do this on desktop) and click on the offer in the ad. That opened details of the offer in the sidebar. It had an option to ‘Add To Cart’, so I did that, but I don’t think that’s what you need to do. Instead, scroll down that sidebar section and you should see a button to clip the digital coupon. Once you’ve done that, it should show up on the normal digital coupons page as one you’ve clipped.
Seeing as this is such a goofily set up promotion, I’d test it out with one gift card first to make sure it’s working as expected rather than spending $$$$ only to find that you’ve got to try to resolve it with customer service.
Hopefully it works just fine though. Have fun out there this week y’all!
The digital coupon now appears in the normal places on the Safeway app. Expires 12/19 for me. I am in a Wed-Tues place for the sale flyers.
Thanks for the heads-up. Will load up on cards on my next trip to Safeway.
Great deal when combining with other 10X deals from Citi Shop Your Way or Southwest Chase grocery cash back right now!
So one can buy a $150 select gift card and get $25 Off the Next Purchase + 5x points?

I don’t think that’ll work. In theory it would if they were running at the same time, but for people with early access to this 5x coupon, their $150/$25 offer ended on the 12th. For people in other regions, the $150/$25 offer ends on the 14th, but then they won’t get access to the 5x coupon until the 15th (I think). If there is anyone in a region where it somehow overlaps though, that should stack.
Has anyone who shops at Shaw’s/Star Market (New England area) seen this show up on their account?
I think the east coast week tends to run Friday-Thursday, so hopefully those accounts will get access to the deal overnight.
It is showing for ACME but not the smaller Kings affiliate in NJ. Not in the Kings circular either. I am taking this personally.
