I just looked all over the place on the Just 4 U account for Free Foster Farms…I think I’m missing something. A little help, please! Thanks!
Ha! Never mind. I opened my eyes and I found it in the coupon center. Thanks!
There is a $1.00/2 12-pk of Coke e-coupon on my Just 4 U. Thanks!
The International Delight coupon prints for .55/1 any 16oz creamer, but the Safeway in-ad coupon is for 32oz, will this work?
Outside of one time deals like the free Foster Farms item this week and other coupons that I know I can’t find elsewhere (such as a $5 Prilosec coupon,) I find that putting any coupons, even the store coupons, on Just 4 U causes more problems than it solves. It’s caused problems with stacking coupons and problems with the store coupons not scanning. Unfortunately, I have to check my receipt every time I shop there.
Brent- I think most of us would agree with you
I have a stack of receipts that I still need to find time to call about. It is way too much effort for one pack of free frozen cheeseburgers.
I agree with the U program
I bought cheerios last time I was there because they were supposed to be 1.77 a box (minus my coupon) but they rant up at almost $4 and I was in a hurry of course! Cheerios are snacks for my son, but at that price for the small box, its ridiculous. I need to show them my receipt to show they did not ring up at the advertised price after signing up for their new program
I too am having many problems with the just for u coupons. Constantly have to check receipt. What a hassel. I have them loaded but they rarely work. Not happy with this new program.
Charleen, you mentioned recently that you were going to open a new account with Safeway and not add Just 4 U. Do you just go into the store and use your same address, name ect. . and they then close out the original account?
Brenda, Personally I would not recommend that. I would just get a second account with your husband’s name or something. First I think it will save you some drama because in my opinion this Just 4 You is like buying a car or something the way they pester you about it. I bet you get a nice sales pitch over the whole thing when you try to cancel. I figured out that we had an old safeway card from when we lived in WA. My husband cleans his wallet about every 15 years so it popped up
. I used the JFU one this week because of the freebie but I am using that second card from now on.
I’d just ask to create a new account the next time you shop. That is just me though
my husband has a card with no info on it. I think all he did was sign at the bottom. If you read the fine print at the bottom of the safeway card application it will tell you what info is required and it is very little.
when i got my safeway card, i got it at the cash register. they just swipe it to “open” the account and you can immediately use it for that transaction. they will hand you a brochure where they want you to fill out name, address, or you can do it online. but i had my card for several years with no name, phone number or any info on it.
So annoying… I wish they’d work out the quirks in this program because I think that it could have potential… Sometimes it looks like you’re going to get an amazing deal and then it doesn’t work. I can never tell when I can use a MQ and when I can’t because sometimes you load the deals and they’re stackable and sometimes they’re not. It should say on the site if it’s an mq or a store coupon–duh!! Like this week, Huggies are 8.99 for a Jumbo pack. I have a $5 off coupon on my Just 4 U. If I could pair it with a $3 IP it would be an amazing deal. Will it work? Who knows.
I realized that those 4u coupons online match up to the super saving coupons in the ad. I loaded up my card online, it confirmed they were added- and then I picked up an ad at the front of the store and watched as each transaction went through- It missed the starbucks 4 pack, but took my coupon, and i said hey i loaded this up but it doesn’t show the safeway one- can you scan it from this ad page? and he did. just gotta watch I guess!
