Safeway locations with no loyalty card required for ad pricing

Post by storewanderer »

Looks like none of the Intermountain Safeways (Grand Junction, CO market, as well as some in Montana and Wyoming) require the club card anymore for ad pricing...

Curiously, various of the markets where they do two banners/one ad (Cheyenne, WY; Gallup, NM; Las Vegas, NV) they distinctly say "Club card needed in Safeway" or "Safeway Club Price Albertsons Sale Price."

I wish they would just ditch the cards and offer lower prices. People seem to be more "loyal" when stores don't have so many hoops to jump through to save money. There are a lot of struggling retailers which have these programs, and it makes you wonder if they would be struggling if they paid more attention to pricing.

Maybe we will get there. It is interesting the Intermountain division has made this decision... given that is Boise, it would do the Boise based upper management well to take a look at the marketing platform in the other divisions and give it a hard look... also keep in mind those Florida Safeways do not require the loyalty card for sale pricing nor do Shaws, Jewel, or Acme. It is also my observation they are not pushing Just for You as hard anymore (they are still promoting it but not like before).

Especially these ads with the Albertsons and Safeway or Vons logo that have "Club card needed at Safeway" or "Safeway Club Price Albertsons Sale Price." Just give it up. Stop requiring the card for ad specials so you can have a simple looking ad and make it easier on the store employees and customers.
