Safeway has come out with new Air Miles bonuses on buying gift cards just like the offer back in November but even better! That previous offer awarded 1.1 Air Miles per dollar spent on gift cards (55 Air Miles for each $50 card purchased) while this offer bumps that up to 1.4 Air Miles per dollar spent since you’ll get 70 Air Miles for each $50 card purchased by January 1st. You have to print out the coupons and you can find them here.
The merchant gift cards included are Spafinder, Bass Pro
Shops, Roots, the Keg, La Vie En Rose, La Senza, Sport Chek, Garage, Cactus Club Cafe, Marks and Canadian Tire.
I bought 6 cards during the last go round for 330 bonus Air Miles plus 600 Membership Rewards points which equates to 600 Aeroplan Miles or British Airways Avios 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
CIBC Aerogold Visas:
1.5 Miles
CIBC Aventura Visas: 1.5 Points
Scotiabank American Express Platinum/Gold: 4 Points
Scotiabank American Express: 2 Points
Sears
Voyage MasterCard:1.5 Sears Club Points
TD Aeroplan Visas:
1.5 Miles

This time I will be more than likely grabbing another 6 or so which should mean another 420 Air Miles and 600 more Membership Rewards points!
