Albertsons Debuts Three New Digital Offerings

Albertsons Companies has unveiled three new innovations: the launch of the free Deals & Delivery app, its new “Albertsons for U” shopper loyalty program and FreshPass, its exclusive unlimited grocery delivery service with member-only perks.

“We have been working hard to revolutionize Albertsons Companies’ digital offerings and enhance all aspects of the food experience and journey,” said Chris Rupp, EVP and Chief Customer and Digital Officer. “We have been in lock-step with our customers and today’s launch of our new Deals & Delivery app, our ‘Albertsons for U’ loyalty program and FreshPass subscription service exemplifies our commitment to innovation and customer service, meeting shoppers where they want to shop whether that be in store, curbside or at home.”

The new Deals & Delivery app combines Albertsons Cos.’ two most used services allowing customers to shop, save and redeem rewards all in one place – from the comfort of home or while shopping in-store. The new app seamlessly integrates both the “Albertsons for U” loyalty program and the FreshPass subscription service program. Shoppers can download by store name across Albertsons’ 20-plus banners, including Safeway, Albertsons, VONS and Jewel-Osco.

Shoppers with the Deals & Delivery app will benefit from an integrated in-store experience. Smart features include a digital wallet and app coupon integration, list builders and a convenient pay-from-app feature.

To find the app, shoppers can search their local Albertsons Cos. store in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Albertsons Companies’ new loyalty program raises the bar with new personalized deals, rewards and perks. It encompasses the best of the previous loyalty program, just for U and existing members are automatically enrolled. The program carries the name of each respective banner store within Albertsons Companies – i.e. Albertsons for U, Safeway for U, Jewel-Osco for U, etc. depending on which store you shop most.

Membership is free, and new members immediately earn $5 off their next in-store or online purchase of $25 or more of qualifying items. After that, members earn points on nearly every dollar spent and points can be redeemed on groceries and gas. Perks include personalized deals, a free item every month, a special birthday treat and more.
