Update 12/7/23: Deal is back, this time it’s a bit higher at 2.5% or 2.5x. I’m not sure if there are any limits this time. (ht jerseyguy195)
Update 9/21/22: MEAB points out that new terms were added yesterday: Maximum $20 back per transaction, and a maximum of 10 transactions are eligible.
The Offer
Rakuten in-store cashback is offering 2% back or 2x at participating Safeway grocery stores.
The Fine Print
Earn Cash Back when you shop in-store with your linked card at all participating Safeway grocery stores.
Other Albertson company brands are not eligible for Cash Back on this offer.
Offer not valid for gift card purchases.
Purchases are subject to applicable store policies.
Debit card purchases must be processed as credit in order to be eligible for Cash Back. When using your debit card, do not enter your PIN.

In-Store offers not valid for online purchases and may not be combined with other Rakuten rewards.
US stores only. Offer not valid at locations in US territories.
Offer may be displayed on multiple websites but is redeemable only once per qualifying transaction. If you link to the same offer on more than one site, your qualifying transaction will only be eligible for rewards or benefits associated with the offer through the most recently linked site. A linked offer is good for 1 hour after initial redemption. After such time the offer must be re-linked prior to your next purchase. A linked offer that has not been redeemed will automatically expire 10 days after it is linked or on the date the offer itself ends, whichever is sooner. Cash Back earned will be paid with your next eligible Rakuten Big Fat Check!
Our Verdict
Grocery store deals are always user-friendly since we all shop there anyway and can easy rack up some free rewards in the process. There are lots of other in-store cashback deals on Rakuten as well.This offer is not valid on gift cards, per the terms.
Reports are this is valid through November 1st (though I can’t find where it says that). Unlimited uses, just be sure to relink the offer before each use. Best stacked with a card that earns a bonus at the grocery store.
