Our Verdict
Sounds like you have to check out one gift card at a time, hopefully they have $500 Amazon gift cards to make it easier. Lots of people spend a ton on Amazon, and this is an easy way to juice up the rewards on the purchase.
There’s also a Visa gift card deal through the 9th.

any folks bought a 2nd time & got addl 6x pts? also, does Safeway & its affiliated stores accept chase/samsung pay? Thx
Do you think this works for variable Amazon gift cards?
Confirmed yes
Yes it does. I bought 4 $250 gift cards today in separate transactions. Have $60 in rewards now.
Nice. How are you going to use all those rewards in 60 days? If it’s like Jewel, I only can redeem one type of reward per month (i.e. 7 rewards = $10 off grocery purchase). Hopefully you have a better option.
With Safeway/Vons, you can redeem $27 or $29 (I forget which) per month, and if you redeem for $7-off $7 or more of items from the meat section, that brings it up to ~$35, and you can redeem these once in month one and once in month two for a total of ~$70 before the rewards points expire. You can also use them on one-off items (free avocado, free cream cheese, free eggs), so you can even go a little higher than $70.
We have a similar structure at Jewel, though I can only use about 47 rewards in two months on just the money off. I couldn’t use 60 like the above poster had unless I went the route of eggs, cheese, etc. which I can usually find cheaper. I was sort of hoping there was a trick that I was missing 🙂
I already had rewards so I could only do $500 in AGC to max out most efficiently. Thanks for the comment.
Anyone know if you can split transaction at Safeway and if so how many times? Looking to do 4 cards.
EDIT: Didn’t notice it’s unlimited. In my case I just do 4 separate transactions and it should have 6x on all.
I see limit one
Woohoo, got it in one
dang safeway’s been putting out too many of these offers. I’m going to running out of my $6000 amex bcp grocery store limit in no time…
Amex gold has much higher limit!
Hey DoC! I’m pretty sure this is targeted. 3 accounts and 0 for 3. Can you put that in the title?
Added
Wow, that’s about 9% off.
Kinda weird, this offer is on some of my Vons cards, but not all of them.
It’s targeted
I have “several” accounts, and i found that if an account has the 4 special $1 off coupons then it won’t have the Amazon coupon.
I think the 4 specials go out to people who don’t regularly buy things on that particular account, so that would mean that this Amazon offer is only going out to regular shoppers’ accounts.
Shucks I didn’t get this offer. Thank you for posting this.
