LANHAM, Md., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway
and Sunoco LP have teamed up to expand Safeway's popular Gas
Rewards program to Sunoco stations in parts of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C.
Safeway customers who earn Gas Reward when they shop now have
the option of redeeming their Rewards, up to 20 cents off per gallon, at Sunoco stations.
The expansion of the Gas Rewards program helps to maximize
value and savings for both Safeway and Sunoco customers through the
combination of quality, convenience and rewards.
"Our Gas Rewards program is an easy and convenient way to save
money while doing something you do every week — shop for
groceries," said Safeway Eastern Division President Dan Valenzuela. "We're excited to team up with
Sunoco, a powerhouse in the fuel industry that has stations
throughout the East Coast, to bring Sunoco customers, as well as
our own valued customers, additional savings when they fuel up at
Sunoco stations."
Previously, Safeway's Gas Rewards, which increase with each
$100 spent using a Safeway Club Card,
were redeemable only at Safeway fuel stations.
Beyond savings, customers also benefit from the ease with which
they can earn and redeem their Reward Points. With more than 120
Safeway stores in Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. offering the program to
shoppers, and approximately 200 Sunoco stations currently
participating, grocery shopping and saving at the pump are now even
more convenient.
"Sunoco is always looking for innovative ways to provide value
to our customers and reward them for choosing our brand," said
Cynthia A. Archer, Sunoco LP
Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "We're
excited to offer our customers even more benefits through our
partnership with Safeway."
Customers can register at Safeway.com or by downloading the
Safeway App on their Android or iOS devices. With the Gas Rewards
program, for every 100 Reward Points earned by shopping at Safeway
stores using the Safeway Club Card, customers receive a
10 cent-per-gallon Gas Reward.
Customers earn Reward Points every time they swipe their club card
or input their registered phone number at checkout at their local
Safeway store. Reward Points can be earned by shopping at Safeway
stores in the following ways:
- Customers receive one point per $1 spent on eligible grocery purchases.
- Customers receive one point for every out-of-pocket cost dollar
spent on pharmacy, including co-pays.
- Customers can build up points twice as fast by receiving two
points per $1 spent on qualifying
gift cards.
Customers redeem their Gas Rewards by simply entering their
registered phone number at the pump or inside the station before
fueling.
The Gas Rewards program is also available in Albertsons,
Safeway, Vons, Pavilions and Carrs stores located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. See the Reward Points Program
Terms and Conditions at Safeway.com or in stores for complete
details.
