As we’ve mentioned since November we love this time of year as it is big bonus time for Gift Cards at Safeway! We’ve already seen multiple offers but they weren’t as
good as the December 2014 offer of 70 AIR MILES per $50 card until now! This is the best offer we have seen yet, 75 BONUS AIR MILES per $50 card! With this offer you’ll earn 1.5 miles per dollar on these cards or if
you work the other way, we value AIR MILES at 11 to 15 cents a piece so
you are essentially earning $8.25 to $11.25 with each card. However if you look at our post about hacking the Air Miles program
you’ll know that you can actually get value of over 30 cents per mile
on car rentals which means you can technically earn ~$22 on each these
gift cards!
You have to print out the coupons and you can find them here
Hint: Print multiple copies and go through the till multiple times if you want to buy more than one card for the same retailer!
The merchant gift cards included are Spafinder, Bass Pro
Shops, Roots, The Keg, La Senza, Mark’s, and Moxie’s. There is also an offer of 35 Bonus
Air Miles when you purchase a $25 Spring Gift Card.
I
bought many cards during the last few go rounds for a lot of bonus Air Miles plus
the double Membership Rewards points as I purchased them on my American Express Gold Rewards
card which awards 2 points per dollar spent at grocery stores.
Other
credit cards you can look at using to really bump your miles/points
earning on these types of purchases include (earning is per dollar
spent):
American Express Air Miles Reserve Credit Card: 1 Mile/$10
BMO AIR MILES World Elite MasterCard: 1 Mile/$10
CIBC Aerogold Visas:
1.5 Miles
CIBC Aventura Visas: 1.5 Points
Scotiabank American Express Platinum/Gold: 4 Points
Scotiabank American Express: 2 Points
TD Aeroplan Visas:
1.5 Miles

I don’t know if I’ll buy any this round as I am still sitting on a few gift cards. How about you? What cards will you jump on?
