Albertsons launches app, fuel savings program

  Published at  | Updated at

IDAHO FALLS — Albertsons launched a mobile app and gas rewards program this week in an effort to help customers save money.

The free ‘Just for U’ app can be downloaded to IOS or Android devices and the grocery chain promises over $300 in weekly savings based on each individual customers purchase history.

“It’s not just random coupons that they may never use,” Kathy Holland, an Albertsons spokeswoman, told EastIdahoNews.com. “It’s actually on things that they buy and use on a regular basis.”

The app is designed to help shoppers personalize discounts and savings.

“You can search by aisle, you can search by history, you can search by category and download all those coupons,” Holland said.

Customer purchases will be tracked on the app and shoppers will earn points for each dollar spent.

Those points can be redeemed for gas discounts at participating Texaco or Chevron gas stations.

The amount of money spent at Albertsons determines how much shoppers save on gas.

“For every dollar you spend on groceries or pharmacy items, you earn one point,” Holland said. “For every 100 points that you earn, you receive a 10 cent off per gallon gas reward.”.

If you don’t have access to a smart phone to download the new app, you can sign up for the rewards program on Albertsons website.
