Coupons? Are You a Couponer?
You can stack two coupons together, like a $1 off coupon and a price point deal. But you can’t stack two personalized price point deals. In other words, you can’t use TWO price point deals. $ off coupon and $ off coupon can stack.
No doubling and tripling on digital coupons. If you load a digital coupon and go to the register, you can use the digital coupon, but you can’t use the paper coupon. You will always be getting the best deal.
Paper coupon. Digital coupon. BOGO. You name it.
Personalized deals are based on purchase history. Deals are money off or free.
- Specials. Digital deals. Personalized deals. Will only find personalized deals at Safeway.
- 30 million unique offers in any given week at Safeway.
- Targeted offers based on purchase behaviors.
Your Club Card is linked to your phone number. If you changed your phone number, your deals will reflect who is using your card. If you see cat food and you don’t have a cat, someone else is using your card. The Safeway deals are adapted for you. You want to keep your deals. Gas deals. Sandwich deals. Free item deals.
If you want to update your phone number on your card, you will to call the call center or update on the Safeway site.
