I’ve played that game before, using the same credit card, and haven’t had an issue.


I read their fine print. :D

The system is literally designed to track purchases and payment methods, it's pretty much its only purpose.

So, when you buy ABC on card A and 10 seconds later the same things on Card B, with same form of payment, only so many times you can do that before it gets flagged as duplicate.

If you're profitable for them, they'll probably ignore it. But once you start costing them money, it'll be an issue.

When Safeway first started delivery, they were offering something like $20 off a $100 delivery order + free delivery for your first order. I made 3 orders before they flagged my card for the 4th and had cancelled the 2 most recent accounts.



We bought 5 new york roasts at christmas using all my familys "digital coupons" and payed for them all with the same debit card.

No problems.
Im eating a new york right now. Had one yesterday to.

Yumm, Cheap!

New York's were 4.97lb on that sale, Ribeye Roasts were 5.97lb. NY's are Ok, but buying the roasts and cutting your own better Steaks was great.

I cooked the last Prime rib roast I had from that sale tonight, wish I bought more.

They are pretty quick about updating.... my SW is only 1.5 miles away -- I can go down and grab something and by the time I get home and look on the computer its already gone. Better to have multiple accounts.... I've got two and can use sis's if needed. The BIG one is to go in there and ask for a rain check --- tell them that the 'what ever flavor' is out of stock and you want a rain check AFTER you already got the deal.... Its hit and miss with who will give out rain checks - you have to know the right ones to ask..... I've got two SWs within 2 miles of me --- I play this game really well.

I love me some asparagus.

The BOGO offer is for their saran wrapped 10oz asparagus that's $5. Why the hell would anyone pay $2.50/10 oz when you can get 16 oz for $1.49?

We ate one three days ago. It was fine. Cooked it with cabbage and carrots all day in the crockpot on WARM, not low.

Good, not too salty.

I just read all the reviews. Sounds like a bunch of impatient people that cant cook or folks that have never had corned beef. "It was to salty, yuk". Ever heard of cabbage?

Or just people complaining about fat (which should have melted if cooking properly).

Maybe I just dont know what good corned beef tastes like? Maybe my poor taste is very accepting of my budget? So many questions to ponder.

Mmmm, thinking makes me hungry.

I’m sure everything you said is true (well, except for your bad taste)….

They were just reviews I came across when looking into your post, so I shared them.

I take it all with a grain of salt…

Then try using more cabbage. It will pull the salt out. :bigsmile:

Previewing the ads for this week --- if you can hold off til friday to buy eggs, SW Friday Frenzy has eggs for $2/doz! I'm down to my last 3 eggs.... been trying to use them 'wisely'. I'm glad I saw that before I went down and paid $3-3.50. I did notice that QFC has eggs at $3 and the larges actually seem to be 'large' instead of SW's 'smaller large'....

Looks like I'm buying eggs at SW on Friday. :thumbsup2:
