Just in time for the holidays came this email from Safeway offering bonus Air Miles on Gift Card purchases! As you know we have always passed along the ‘trick’ of earning more miles or points on Gift Card purchases by buying them at Grocery Stores when you have a card that offers a grocery store accelerator. Some of those cards include one of our faves the American Express Gold Rewards Card (2x Points), the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card (4x Points), CIBC Aerogold and Aventura cards (1.5x Miles) and numerous others. This offer came at the right time as we have discussed maximizing the miles you earn this past week on CTV BC (see the video here) and on CKNW Vancouver. This is a great example of how can you maximize those miles by earning the bonus on the Gift Card and also taking advantage of any credit card multipliers!Until November 28 you can earn up to 30 Bonus Air Miles on select Gift Card purchases at Safeway Stores in Canada. You have to print off the coupons to get the bonus miles, which you can do so hereThese are only 6 of the 15 offers available with this offer!Former Credit Suisse trader Serageldin gets 30 months in jail

This is one program we probably don’t give enough coverage to here on Rewards Canada other than the their Aeroplan bonus promos or occasional 35% offers. The Delta Privilege program is benefit type frequent guest program as they do not award points for the program itself although you can earn Aeroplan or Asia Miles with it. The benefits that the program provides are great even at the basic level, free internet and late check out being the key features that are included in all levels of the program. In fact last winter we had a stay at the Delta Kananaskis Lodge and on the morning of check out we heard there was a bad accident blocking the highway back into Calgary. Rather than being stuck on the highway for hours we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub on that snowy day since our Delta Privilege membership provided us with 3pm late checkout (non-resort locations goes until 6pm!) Rewards Canada will have a more thorough review of the program in the coming weeks but all we can say is that the benefits get even better when you reach Gold, Platinum or Platinum Plus in the program which leads us into this promotion that launched on November 15th…
