Albertsons [Heart] USA gift cards

The Albertsons [Heart] card is a grocery gift card that works at more than 2,000 stores across the United States. Recipients can use it at Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Star Market, Acme, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Pavilions, Carrs, Lucky, Haggen, Andronico’s, Kings, and Balducci’s. For a business sending rewards or payouts in the US, it covers everyday food and household essentials at stores most people already shop.

You can load any amount from $5 to $250 in USD. The card never expires, and any remaining value stays on the card for later purchases. Funds are not replaced if the card is lost or stolen, so recipients should treat it like cash.

Recipients redeem by presenting the QR code at checkout, either printed or on a phone. At a staffed register the checker scans it as tender; at self-checkout they select “Pay with Scan.” The card can be used multiple times until the balance is used up. It cannot be used for alcohol, tobacco, lottery, money orders, money transfers, or other gift cards, and it cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by law.

Through GIFQ, you can send Albertsons [Heart] cards in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time by API. That works for paying research participants who need groceries, thanking customers after a purchase, rewarding a distributed team, or giving employees a grocery allowance.

Because this card is tied to US store locations, it suits recipients who live near one of the participating banners. If your recipients are outside the US, this card will not be useful to them.
