800 American Airlines miles for shopping at Safeway?
I just saw this on AAdvantage eshopping under the "New Retailers". 800 miles for new customers to Safeway. Offer terms say "you must make 1 paid transaction on Safeway". The link takes you to Safeway.com (Randalls and Tom Thumb brand also).
Has anyone done this before?

I did the zip code search on the site and found some Tom Thumb stores nearby (Dallas area). I've used eShopping on many different sites and the points always post (a few months later). When I go to Safeway.com, my eShopping toolbar does pop up showing 800 miles for a purchase.

Looks like they only deliver to these locations: "Currently, Safeway.com offers delivery to residential locations in the following areas: Northern California: San Francisco, Marin, Greater North Bay, East Bay, Sacramento, San Jose, Peninsula, Monterey, Salinas Portland, OR Seattle, WA Greater Phoenix, AZ Maryland, Philadelphia, Washington DC".
You are correct, Tom Thumb does not deliver and I can not see any "pick up at store" type option.

"Retailer Profile
Your groceries, your choices, your schedule…delivered!."
"You must make a paid transaction on Safeway."
"Retailer Details : Safeway.com"
As mentioned in an earlier post, there is no provision for instore pickup, and there is no apparent mechanism in place to credit an instore purchase. Safeway is not one of the brick and mortar retailers where you can earn miles through Aadvantage eShopping. So whether or not there is a minimum order, I would say it's a safe bet that an order for delivery must be placed on safeway.com.

United & BA too
FYI - this offer has been on the United shopping site for awhile too (620 miles) and the BA shopping site (1,000 miles). I haven't had time to try them (I tried once but the delivery was going to be ~4 days later and I couldn't work it into my schedule). The terms seem to be for new customers only, so I would think if you were going to do all three (AA, BA, UA) you'd need different names and/or emails registered.
