Can I Use My Safeway Gift Card At Other Stores?
Safeway Gift Cards can be used at any store location owned by Safeway’s parent company, Albertsons Companies. These stores are as follows:

Can I Buy Alcohol With My Safeway Gift Card?
Safeway Gift Cards can be used to purchase alcohol at all store locations that sell it in-store.
Customers are urged to carry a valid ID with them while making the purchase, as Safeway will only sell alcohol to customers who are of legal drinking age in their province.
Bear in mind that this applies to US stores only. Alcohol is not available for purchase in Canadian Safeway stores.
