So this is good at maybe 20-25% of the grocery stores in Canada, which is definitely a "small number".

FYI - Although not included in the T&C's, apparently, a user on Reddit reached out to AMEX via chat and Safeway is included as they are a subsidiary of Sobeys in Canada. More details here... https://www.reddit.com/r/churningcan..._up_to_250_in/

Further, Lowblaws doesn't take AMEX so could not be included (at least in eastern Canada).
