I received a letter in the mail from Safeway today stating that Safeway Club Card purchases will no longer earn AS miles starting on March 1. They say this:

"At Safeway, we listen closely to our shoppers and understand that in the current economic climate there's an overwhelming need for lower prices. To fulfill that low price need while also providing the high-quality products our shoppers expect, we have decided to refocus the value previously offered through our Airline Partnership into lower prices on the items that all customers need"

Well, I for one, will not be giving my business solely to Fred Meyer now.....
