Then the same woman will practicaly run you over in the parking lot with her $80K BMW 7 series.

I was amazed when I first moved to the area and went into the supermarket and there were women in sweat suits under their very expensive mink coats. :D As for Wegmans. Yes, it's good - for about the first year. They hook you with outstanding produce and other freshly made items, like the bread. After that, the produce becomes slightly better than ordinary, at the same price, and the loaves of bread get smaller. I still shop there, but not exclusively. It can get mighty expensive, though it is better than the average supermarket. I think they excel at prepared foods, which take up about 1/3 of the store. |

That's the ticket... nice for a monthly top off. |
Same thing at randall's in houston.. but I find randall's prices to be higher than the local kroger, even if the selection is better.

Not that it's a huge bonus, but if you're already signed up and your spouse is not, you can sign the spouse up for his/her own card and get 1,000 bonus points if you do it before the end of March. That's the equivalent of $2000 worth of groceries, so in the context of this meager program, it's a good percentage bonus.

Well... It looks like the program will change in 2009.
At the bottom of my receipt it states: "NEW PROGRAM STARTS 1/1/09 WITH THREE MONTH CYCLES. SPEND AT LEAST $1000 EACH CYCLE TO QUALIFY AND EARN 1 ONEPASS MILE PER $2 IN QUALIFYING PURCHASES. MORE ON WWW.SHOPRITE.COM" It was good while it lasted. Well, without the new rules anyway. |

I guess if you've got a large family, shop exclusively at Shoprite, buy a lot of non-sale items, and don't travel too much during the quarter, you might occasionally qualify. :p Of course, I don't blame them from pulling back. I mean, is there ANYBODY who actually switched their loyalty or bought more from Shoprite because of this promo? It couldn't be too many folks. So they were just giving us a few miles and getting very little in return. If I were Shoprite and I wanted to stay affiliated with OnePass, I'd do it more creatively. Like sign up for a promo whereby if you double your spending the next quarter, you'd get 1000 miles. That MIGHT bring them some extra business. Maybe. |

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else here has their Shop-Rite price plus number attached to their onepass account. I have been in the program since its inception have earned over 12,000 miles just from Shop-Rite. (It's the only supermarket I go to- and I am always grocery shopping!) While it's exciting to earn airline miles for buying what I would buy anyway- and I absolutely mean that. It's not like I think let me buy the bigger milk to earn more miles, or I think I'll splurge on a 25-ib. turkey for dinner in order to get to Florida quicker.
But, it's a bit disconcerting that I'm only half-way to a flight. I assume the program is mostly for very frequent fliers who get that little extra bump in their miles by- without even thinking about it - having their Shop-Rite club card attached to their account. Does anyone know how successful and popular this program is? I assume it's pretty popular (probably more so in NJ, where Shop-Rites are ubiquitous and we all know CO is THE carrier at EWR) as it keeps on getting extended. Is Shop-Rite for OnePass miles here to stay? Does anyone have any stories on how much they earned with it and/or stories of extravagant Shop-Rite purchases in order to earn more miles? |

NorthEast Shop-Rite customers
We're being Enhanced!!:mad::td:
As of 1/1/09 SR will now run on a 3 month cycle. So on 4/1, 7/1 & 10/1 they will reset your total shopping Dollars to $0. From 1/1 before you get 1 mile you must spend $1000 then you will get 500 miles, no more 125 miles for every $250 after originally spending $500. Then 1 mile per $2. So spend $950 by 3/31 on 4/1 you start fresh with $0 and earned a total of 0 miles for Q1 Till now ones total was on going till you hit the $250 level and 125 miles was sent to CO, I believe it might have carried forward yr to yr as well, dont remember for sure. " Our new program, with three month earning cycles, will be in effect starting Jan 1, 2009. You can earn 1 CO mile for every$2 spent when your qualifying purchases reach $1000 by the end of each 3 month cycle." |
This sounds like ShopRite "enhancing" the program more than CO (why would CO care about the details so long as SR is buying the miles).
Anyhow, there is no such restrictions for Safeway earning UA or AS miles. Then again, I'd much rather have ShopRite's lower NJ food prices and no miles than what I pay for groceries at Safeway in NorCal with the few miles Safeway throws at us. ;) |
