Heads up, deal hunters! Safeway (and likely its sister stores like Albertsons) is running a promo where you can snag $25 off your next grocery bill when you buy $150 worth of select gift cards. Think of it as free money toward your next grocery run!
The deal runs until December 11th, 2025, so you have plenty of time to take advantage. The gift card selection is pretty solid, including options like Best Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot, and even some restaurant chains. This is where it gets interesting for us points and miles enthusiasts. By strategically purchasing gift cards for stores where you already shop (like Lowe's for home improvement projects), you're essentially getting a discount and earning credit card rewards on the purchase. Double win!
This is especially sweet if you have a credit card that earns bonus points at grocery stores. Load up on those gift cards, rack up the points, and save $25 on your groceries. Just make sure you can actually use the gift cards! No point in buying them if they'll just sit in your wallet collecting dust. Happy shopping (and earning!).
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
