See below for details on how to play the Monopoly game at Safeway and Albertsons banners listed above,  the game pieces, how to play digitally, and more! Each week we will highlight the Monopoly game bonus ticket items on sale in the Safeway Weekly Ad Preview and in the Safeway Sale and Coupon Matchups.

The Monopoly game tickets will be available at all Safeway, Albertsons, United  Supermarkets, Tom Thumb, Jewel-Osco, VONS, Amigos, Carrs, Star Market, Pavilions, Acme and Randall’s stores.  The tickets will be given out until May 4th and you can play online through May 18th.   

How to Play Monopoly at Safeway 2021:

Step 1: Register to play

Download the shopplaywin app and login with your Safeway Just for U account information.  Alternatively, you can play online at shopplaywin.com.  You must also have a Just for U account to play.  It can be an online account or an app account, but it is essential to play Monopoly.   Read all about Just for U here.

Step 2: Get Monopoly Instant Win Game Tickets

Every time you shop at Safeway and purchase specially tagged participating Monopoly items, you will get a game ticket.  You can get extra game tickets for every $25 you spend, up to $100. 

For every 10 participating items in one transaction, you will get an extra bonus ticket.  The cashier will know the number of tickets to give based on a tally on your printed receipt.  

Inside the game tickets, you will find the digital game pieces.  It could be one of the following:

  • Instant Win Prize 
  • SHOP, PLAY, WIN! Digital Game Code
  • Store Coupon

How to Play Shop, Play, Win! Digital Game

There is one bar code with a 16 digit alpha-numeric code on the tickets this year.   You need to scan the bar code with the shopplaywin app or enter the code online at shopplaywin.com to track your game markers. 

The digital game code will bring up a Match 3 to win screen.  Select 3 cards and hit submit to see if you win. 

If you Match 3 Cards you will see your prize displayed.  If it’s a Just for U cash prize or free product, the prize is loaded directly to your Just for U account under My List.  No need to clip the coupon as it’s automatically added to your account and will be deducted the next time you shop. 

Monopoly_cash_prize_just_for_u

If you do not win, you will have an opportunity to select a consolation prize. 

Choose either the red chance card or the blue chance card to reveal your consolation prize. 

Safeway_Monopoly_consolation_prizes

The consolation prizes are tokens that you can use to win bigger prizes like a $1,000 daily cash drawing, a trip to Universal Studios Orlando, a $5,000 vacation, and more prizes shown below.

Important Notes about the Game Tickets: 

  • Game tickets will only be awarded during the transaction in which they are earned.
  • Customers are limited to one transaction per three-hour period.
  • Purchases made online for Drive Up and Go or home delivery will NOT qualify for Game Tickets. The distribution of the Game Tickets is based on the Market Store’s prior year activity and prior year mail-in requests.

You can also receive one Game Ticket and one bonus Game Ticket (two Game Tickets total) by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope (“SASE”) to SHOP, PLAY, WIN! Game Ticket Request, Attn: Promotions Coordinator, P.O. Box 3058, Kennesaw, GA 30156.

Monopoly Tokens

You will get tokens as a consolation prize when you don’t match 3 cards.

The tokens can be redeemed for cash or product rewards or an entry into a Token Sweepstakes.   Each token sweepstakes has its own entry requirements and end date.

To play the online game code, scan or enter the Shop, Play, Win Online Code into the app or the website to reveal your online game token prize.  The site or app will reveal if you are a potential winner of tokens.

You can spend the tokens on the daily $1,000 cash sweepstakes, or on the big-ticket sweepstakes like a $1,000,000 super cash prize and more prizes to come!

To spend the tokens, simply select the sweepstake you want to enter and add a token to be entered for that prize.

Lastly, you can spend your tokens on Just for U cash, which is free money loaded directly to your Just for U account, or free products.

  • $5 Just for U Cash is 80 tokens
  • $10 Grocery Gift Card is 150 tokens
  • $15 Just for U Cash is 200 tokens
  • $20 Just for U Cash is 240 tokens
  • $25 just for U Cash is 275 tokens

You can also use the tokens for gas and grocery rewards – 30 tokens get you gas and grocery rewards that are loaded directly to your Safeway Just for U Rewards. 

Gas / Grocery Reward is good for 10¢ off per gallon of gas, up to 25 gallons. Allow up to 24 hours for Gas Rewards to appear in your just for U® program or rewards! program account. Gas Rewards from this promotion will expire at the end of the month following the one in which they were awarded.

You can also redeem tokens for free products.  The free products will require 20-60 tokens depending on the item selected.  The free products are loaded automatically to your Just for U account and displayed under My List. 

As an alternative to Rewards or entries into Token sweepstakes, each Participant can choose to donate 1¢ for each Token to be given to Albertson’s Nourishing Neighbors. A maximum of $250,000 may be awarded in the Promotion to charity (e.g., if 25,000,000 tokens are redeemed).

Monopoly Product Coupons

One of the best parts (in this blogger’s opinion) of the new game this year is that game tickets with product coupons must be scanned or entered online rather than handed over as paper coupons in the stores. 

The reason this is so great is that you can scan, shop, and save!  No matter if you are ordering groceries online, using the drive up and go service, or shopping in person, the savings are loaded automatically to your Just for U account, so they deduct automatically when you purchase the items. 

No paper coupons will be accepted in-store.  They must all be scanned or manually entered using the online system.   Once scanned, you can throw the paper coupons away as they cannot be rescanned and we come up as a duplicate.  They have no value in-store, only when entered digitally. 

Once scanned or entered the coupons appear in the Just for U app or on the website under My List.  No need to ‘load’ the coupons as they are automatically loaded and activated.  

The coupons are considered ‘digital store coupons’ and as such can be stacked with manufacturer coupons. 

I do understand the inconvenience for people who don’t have a smartphone or tablet because the 16-digit numeric coupon codes must be entered online manually, but it goes quickly and the coupons are automatically added to your club card.

Safeway Monopoly Game Board

There is no game board in 2021 – the game is 100% digital and can be played online or through the shopplaywin app.

There will still be game tickets given to customers when they shop.  However, there will not be glue strips on the back and there is no need to stick the pieces to anything unlike in the past games. 

Monopoly Prizes and Safeway Monopoly Rare Game Pieces

Because the game is 100% digital this year – and there is a chance to win the 1M prize through an instant win ticket, the rare game pieces are the big-ticket instant win prizes.

Safeway Monopoly Shop, Play, Win App:

The absolute easiest way to play Monopoly is by downloading the Shop, Play Win app from Google Play for Android or the iTunes App Store to quickly and easily manage all your online game pieces.  Be sure to log in using your Safeway Just for U account

If you don’t have an account, simply register and you can scan the online game bar codes to determine if you are an instant winner and also track your game markers through the app.

Step 4: When you receive a Digital Game Code Ticket, enter the 16 digits alpha-numeric code below the barcode into the site. 

 

Monopoly_online_Game_code

 

entering_Safeway_monopoly_Codes_online

You’ll be prompted to pick 3 cards to match to see if you won in the Match 3 game. 

If you win a cash prize or free product, the item is loaded to your Just for U account, under My List automatically.  If you win a larger prize in the Match 3 game, you will receive an email and you will need to complete a form to redeem for your prize. 

safeway_monopoly_online match_win_Game

 

If you do not win by matching the cards, you will select a 2nd chance card.  The prizes for the 2nd chances are tokens that you can then redeem for free products, cash, and entries into sweepstakes. 

To redeem your tokens, click on the Red Spend Tokens button on the top left, or navigate through the three-line hamburger navigation button. 

 

Monopoly_tokens

 

You’ll see your token balance, plus various ways to spend your tokens.  As states in the prizes section above, you can use the tokens for Just for U cash, a daily $1,000 sweepstakes, gas and grocery rewards, free products, and more.

Entering Instant Win Digital Coupons online

If you have product coupon game tickets, the codes must be entered online or scanned via smartphone or tablet.  No paper coupons will be accepted in-store. 

Simply enter the code on the product coupon and the coupon will automatically be added to your Safeway club card/Just for U account. 

You can see it under My List in your account settings.  See the highlighted boxes of the Safeway Just for U site below.  The instant win product prizes and coupons are loaded under My List.

Last Chance Drawing:

Safeway guarantees a $1M winner. 

 If the one $1M Cash prize is not claimed, then one $1 Million Cash Prize will be awarded through a ‘Last Chance Drawing’.

Each SHOP, PLAY WIN Match 3 Digital Code entered and all SHOP, PLAY, WIN! mail-in entries received by May 18, 2021, will result in an entry into the Last Chance Sweepstakes and will be eligible for the drawing. 

Just for your information – the winner of the 2020 Monopoly Game was a Denver Safeway shopper and she used all her tokens in the 2nd chance sweepstakes drawing for the $1M and was randomly selected, so people do win in the last chance drawings. 

 Therefore, you have better odds of winning in the last chance drawing by scanning all your digital tickets as all digital entries will be eligible for the drawing.

Good luck – may the odds be ever in your favor!

  1. I don’t like it and wish we had the paper version, I app does not work on my phone, I don’t think its fair to a lot of people forcing us to not being able to play.

      1. So what about the elderly who do not use internet this just took all their

        JOY away Shame on you for making this digital

        1. With all due respect – I had nothing to do with the game, I’m merely a blogger telling people how it works.

        2. Sherry – Safeway made this digital because of COVID, not to take away joy from seniors. You can still win lots of prizes by playing online and I promise it’s not overly difficult.

    1. Hi Kimberly – The employee tickets are green whereas the customer tickets are blue. The same app and website are used for both employees and non-employees. I’m not sure why you are getting an invalid code response. You may need to reach out to the support team to ensure they have your Just for U account set up correctly. https://www.shopplaywin.com/contact

  2. In terms of the Last Chance Drawing offer, in case the million dollar prize has not been won, WHEN and WHERE do you mail the tickets? I read the info above, but don’t know when to mail in those tickets nor where to mail them. You mention that once submitted on-line, you don’t need to save the tickets, but won’t you need to save them to enter the “Last Chance Drawing”?

    1. Hi Elizabeth – The way the rules read, everyone who scans the “shop, play win Match 3 digital Game and Last Chance Sweepstakes Game Tickets” is automatically entered in the last chance drawing. Last year there was a separate token drawing for the last chance $1M sweepstakes, but that is not the case this year. This year – all game tickets scanned are entries into the drawing. If you would like to request a game ticket by mail, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope (“SASE”) to SHOP, PLAY, WIN! Game Ticket Request, Attn: Promotions Coordinator, P.O. Box 3058, Kennesaw, GA 30156.
      Mail-in requests, including both outer envelope and SASE, must be handwritten and must be postmarked no sooner than MARCH 3, 2021, no later than April 27, 2021 and must be received no later than May 4, 2021.
      Each Digital Code entered and all SHOP, PLAY, WIN! mail-in entries received by May 18, 2021 will result in an entry into the “MON-14 Last Chance Sweepstakes” and will be eligible for a drawing.

  3. This week’s Safeway Ad (10-16Mar21) has many items where savings are even better if you have the corresponding Monopoly coupons. Ones I noted for this week:
    Mott’s Apple Juice, 64oz (Just4U Dig Coupon 1.69 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 – Monopoly Coupon) 1.19 net
    Ocean Spray 100% Juice, 64oz (Just4U 2.49 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 1.99 net
    Fresh Express Salad Blend, 5-11oz (2.50 sale price) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 2.00 net
    Swanson Broth, 32oz (Just4U 1.49 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 0.99 net
    Planters Peanuts, 16oz (Just4U 1.99 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 1.49 net
    Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream, 14oz (Just4U 2.49 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 1.99 net
    Prego Pasta Sauce, 14.5-24oz (Just4U 0.99 – LIMIT 4) (0.50/1 Monopoly) 0.49 net
    Coca-Cola, 6×16.9oz (Sale for 5 packs for 10.00) (0.50/1 Monopoly) drops total for 6-pack to 1.50

    These are just the ones I used today. I noticed a lot of other matchups with things like Oreos, Chips Ahoy, etc. Exactly what coupons you have/get depends on your play of the game – but most people should find a number of matchups each week that can help you save money.

    1. Yes, as soon as the item is purchased, the “coupon” is redeemed and removed from your list in Just for U.

      1. Although I have found that the Monopoly coupons/free item listings are ADDED to your just4U listings almost immediately and are then available for use, they do NOT appear to be REMOVED from the listings immediately after purchase. The purchase itself appears to be IMMEDIATELY logged against your Just4U, and if you try to use it again you will not succeed, but the LISTING itself can remain on your Just4U for several days. This can be confusing unless you keep close track.

        This lag time in how long a used coupon/freebie is removed from Just4U has always been there in my experience.

  4. I received an “Instant Winner” for Ibuprophen. Not really instant if you have to go onto your phone and register the coupon first. What a scam.

    1. Hi Nonya – While I agree it’s not ideal to have to enter the coupon code online or scan via the app – Safeway did this to prevent the transfer of paper back and forth during the pandemic. Entering the code just takes a minute and you get free ibuprofen for your time.

  5. Do I need to save the paper game tickets for any reason? Example if perchance I win a large cash prize would I need to have the paper ticket?

    I am hoping I am free to throw them all away as I scan them. I don’t like having to keep track of them.

  6. Holly L Leggott

    I use Google Chrome, already had the app on my tablet from using it the previous few years and I am unable to get anything but a blue screen! I tried uninstalling app and re-installing it and got a page that just has the Shop Play Win page with a list of the sponsors but there is no link to click to get started and anything else I click (like FAQ) nothing happens . I tried going to the shopplaywin.com website and I get a blank screen there…what is going on?

    1. Holly L Leggott

      I’d leave screenshots of what I am experiencing but you don’t allow that to be posted in the comments…

        1. Hi there – the site and app were temporarily down on Tuesday evening. They have been restored. Please close the app completely and re-open to see the game screen rather than the blue screen.

    2. The timestamp on your post here makes me think you had this problem last night. If so, it may have been due to the shopplaywin.com website being down yesterday afternoon/evening for several hours. (The safeway.com website was also down during roughly the same period). When both were down/unavailable I thought the monopoly game had crashed, but it didn’t. There were a lot of news reports of MANY, MANY merchants sites down yesterday due to a Federal warning about a major security flaw that most merchants scrambled to fix yesterday. Both the shopplaywin.com and safeway.com sites were back up as normal before end of yesterday. So try again today would be my advice.

    3. Hi Holly – I had responded to other questions – the site and app were temporarily down on Tuesday but everything is working again – so please try again and let us know if you still have questions. Thanks, Eva

  7. The app and the site do not work. I can only find directions on how to play. I downloaded the app and there is only a Home Screen, The drop down menu at the upper right all leads back to the home page. Any link attached, once clicked, shows “cannot find server”

    Is this a scam??? Everyone please watch McMillions. Mark Wahlberg we need you!

    1. Hi everyone it appears the site and app are down. Perhaps they had too much traffic at one time and it crashed the system. Let’s give the Monopoly team space and have the patience that it will come back.

      1. Both websites were back up by late evening yesterday (9Mar). Both sides appeared to be down because of the Federal warning to merchants about a potentially deadly security flaw that MANY, MANY merchants took their sites down temporarily to fix. I checked both sites again just before this post and both are up.
