CREATING AN ACCOUNT
To participate in the Shaw's for U™ program and to become a Program Member, you must create an account. There are two ways to create an account: (1) enter your 10-digit mobile phone number in an in-store PIN pad at checkout, or (2) register online at shaws.com/foru or through our mobile application by providing complete and accurate information. Program Members using a mobile phone number (or previous Club Card number) in-store, may earn Points and redeem gas rewards (for fuel), grocery rewards (for groceries), or automatic cash off purchases, but in order to receive additional Program Member perks, Program Members should register their own account online by signing into their account at shaws.com/foru or by downloading the Shaw's for U mobile app. Program Members who enter a mobile phone number in an in-store PIN pad at checkout that is not linked to an online Shaw's for U™ account may receive one or more SMS text invitations to register their account online to earn additional Program Member perks and to redeem digital offers.
MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
Multiple Shaw's for U™ accounts can be linked together within a household. When such accounts are linked, the same Program offers will be received, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable offers. If you want to link or unlink your Shaw's for U™ accounts, please contact our Customer Service Center toll free line at 1-877-258-2799. If a Program Member’s account number is used by any other person, all Points relating to purchases made by such other person will be credited to the Program Member’s account.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCOUNT USE/COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS/ACCOUNT SUSPENSION
Shaw's assumes no liability or responsibility for Points used by any person(s) prior to a notification to our Customer Service Center that the Program Member’s account number was used by an unauthorized person or has been compromised. Any Points used prior to such notification, whether by the Program Member or an unauthorized third party, shall be deducted from the Program Member’s account.
Using multiple accounts to exceed limits on offers and promotions is not permitted. If we determine that a Program Member has abused any of the Program’s privileges, fails to comply with any of these Terms and Conditions, or makes any misrepresentation to us, we may, in our sole discretion, take such actions as we deem appropriate, including, without limitation, suspending such Program Member’s privileges under the Program, revoking any or all of the Points in such Program Member’s account, and/or revoking the Program Member’s participation in the Program, in each case, with or without advance notice to such Program Member and without liability to Safeway and/or Albertsons Companies, Inc. or its other grocery banners.
POINTS
Use Points on grocery items, discounts on gas at participating stations, or automatic cash off at checkout. One Point will be awarded for each whole dollar spent using your Albertsons Companies for U™ account on eligible/qualifying grocery and pharmacy purchases, and two Points will be earned for each whole dollar spent to purchase eligible gift cards.
EXCLUSIONS
Eligible/qualifying purchases for Points exclude: (1) alcoholic beverages and tobacco products; (2) fuel and automotive services; (3) bus/commuter passes, fishing/hunting licenses and tags, ski/amusement park passes, stamps, money orders/transfers, lottery/event tickets; (4) any financial instrument that can be redeemed for goods or services at participating Albertsons Companies banner stores - including (but not limited to) gift certificates, money orders/transfers, and gift or debit cards issued by American Express®, MasterCard®, Visa®, any bank, or any Albertsons Companies banner store; (5) phone cards; (6) fuel gift cards, including but not limited to Filling Participant gift cards; and (7) fluid dairy items in the refrigerated dairy section—including fluid dairy substitutes, depending on state and local laws.
Bottle/container deposits, applicable taxes, fees, and other charges, if applicable, are not purchases and are not eligible to accrue Points. For pharmacy purchases, only your out-of-pocket costs (e.g., prescription co-pays) are eligible to earn Points.
EXPIRATION
Points will expire within two months, including the month they are earned. For example, if 100 Points are earned in January, those 100 Points will be available to use until the end of February. Points do not expire for FreshPass® (where available) Subscribers.
VALUE/TRANSFERABILITY OF POINTS
Points have no cash value and are not exchangeable for cash. The accumulation of points does not entitle Program Members to any vested rights, and Albertsons Companies and/or its grocery banners do not guarantee in any way the continued availability of any rewards, redemption level, rebate, or any other benefit. Albertsons Companies and/or its grocery banners assume no liability to Program Members for the addition or deletion of items in their Shaw's for U™ account for which Points can be collected and/or used.
Points cannot be assigned, exchanged, traded, bartered, purchased, or given by gift or otherwise sold or transferred. Any Points so acquired will be void. In the event of a return/exchange of any eligible/qualifying purchase that initially earned Points, such Points will be deducted automatically from the Shaw's for U™ account that was used for the eligible purchase (whether the account number is presented at the time of return and/or exchange). Points will be deducted at the same rate as they were earned.
Upon the return and/or exchange of products awarded through the redemption of Points, all used Points will be forfeited.
Rewards Terms
Gas Rewards Terms
Every 100 Points equals 10 cents off per gallon at participating owned and partner fuel stations. Gas reward savings in a single fuel transaction are limited (i) to 25 gallons for one vehicle per transaction––subject to rounding ; (ii) to the maximum per-gallon gas rewards discount available at our partner fuel stations (typically limited to 20 cents off per gallon) and $1.00 off per gallon at owned fuel stations; and to any transaction dollar limits that your financial institution may place on your payment card. To use rewards for gas, you must establish eligibility by entering the phone number used to register your Shaw's for U™ account before pumping fuel. Points will be available for use at fuel stations approximately one hour after being earned. Gas rewards may be temporarily unavailable for immediate use due to technical or maintenance issues. Gas rewards may be redeemed only at Albertsons Companies’ banner stores fuel stations and at participating partner stations. Gas rewards are not available in the Jewel-Osco market area. One-Touch Fuel™, Scan & Pay, Fast Forward and SmartCheck are not accepted as forms of payment at participating fuel stations.
Grocery Rewards Terms
Grocery rewards are available only under the Albertsons Companies grocery banner store that offers such rewards and are not transferable to other grocery banners. To use Points for groceries, you must use a valid phone number associated with your Shaw's for U™ account when checking out in-store or online. To use your Points for a grocery rewards item, the accrued Points balance in your Shaw's for U™ account must equal or exceed the grocery rewards requirement of that offer; no partial grocery rewards will be applied. Once you elect to use Points toward grocery rewards offer and confirm your offer selection, the applicable Points will be deducted from your Shaw's for U™ account. Grocery rewards may be temporarily unavailable for immediate use due to technical or maintenance issues. Rewards may be reclaimed for reuse until the expiration date specified on the grocery reward offer. Removing a confirmed grocery reward offer from “My List”; will not restore Points applied. There may be a lag between the time when you use your Points and when your Points balance is updated. Attempting to reuse Points that have already been applied may result in a negative Points balance until you accumulate enough Points to eliminate such a deficit.
Automatic Cash Off Terms
Auto cash off is an opt-in feature you can use to save by automatically turning your Points into cash off. Once you opt in, your Points will automatically convert to cash off at your next purchase. Every 100 Points will convert to $1 cash off at the time of checkout. If your Points balance exceeds the dollar value of your transaction, the Points that apply in that transaction will be one hundred less than your current Points balance. For example, if your grocery bill is $14.96 and you have 1500 Points available, 1400 Points will trigger at the point of checkout and you will receive $14 off in savings. Cannot be converted to or used as cash. No cash value to Points other than as cash off at purchase.
Note that the Grocery Rewards Gallery will no longer be available once opted into automatic cash off, however you can continue to use Points for gas rewards while opted in (as long as you have an available balance).
You can opt out of auto cash off at any time. Should you opt out, the Grocery Rewards Gallery will become available.
