Heads up, Safeway shoppers! There's a recurring deal you should definitely know about if you're into maximizing your rewards. Safeway frequently offers promotions through their "J4U" program where you can earn significant bonus points (think 10x or even 12x) on purchases of Zift Zillions gift cards when you spend $50 or more.
Zift Zillions gift cards are awesome because they can be exchanged for a variety of other popular gift cards, including big names like Amazon and Airbnb. So, you're essentially buying gift cards to places you'd likely shop anyway, while earning a ton of Safeway points. These points can then be redeemed for discounts on groceries, making this a double-dip of savings. The value of Safeway points can be quite high, potentially netting you up to $1.67 off your grocery bill for every 100 points.
Keep an eye out for these deals in the Safeway app. The offers tend to run for about a week and often coincide with other promotions, like stackable coupons that give you an additional $10 off when you buy $50 in select gift cards. Also, be aware that past offers have stacked with targeted grocery credit card offers like the IHG card for even MORE savings, so always check your accounts! This is a great way to boost your rewards and save money on everyday expenses.
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.
