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.
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.
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.

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.
How to Play Safeway Monopoly Online
You can watch a video overview about how to play the Safeway Monopoly Game online here: Safeway Monopoly Game 2021 Computer
Step 1: Visit shopplaywin.com and click on the red box that says PLAY THE GAME
Step 2: Choose Your Store by clicking on the store logo where you shop.
Step 3: Register for the game by signing in with your Safeway or Albertsons affiliate Just for U login information. If you do not have a Just for U account, you can sign up for one from this page as well. You just need an email and your ten-digit phone number associated with your account. Easy peasy!
Step 4: When you receive a Digital Game Code Ticket, enter the 16 digits alpha-numeric code below the barcode into the site.
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.
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.
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!

I have the app installed on both my iphone and ipad. Neither work. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. There is no access to the part that allows me to scan the game pieces. The first week or so of the game, it worked. No luck since, so I threw everything away. The other day I got a number of game pieces, so am trying the app again. Still no luck.
April 22, 2021
This is the dumbest game yet. I am 86 years old, don’t have a smart phone, and can’t get to my account to see what I have won. I put all my game pieces on my tablet, and have won some items, but how do I get them. I won a $25 gift card on the first try, and was able to print it out and take it to Jewel. It said to go to customer service desk and they will take care of it. Nobody knew what to do with it. Then later I was informed that the person who did know what to do with wasn’t in that day. The next time I brought it in, she was there. Good. But now I can’t find my even find my account on the computer to print out my winnings. The old way was much better for us oldies.
I’m sorry Rose. Have you tried to visit Safeway.com and login with your email and password? If you entered the code for the $25 gift card in the shopplaywin site, you should see the $25 Just for U cash under My List. If you won a gift card and not Just for U cash, then you would have received an email with instructions for getting the gift card.
I have about 100 monopoly tickets, I shop at Safeway almost daily and this app is not working. I was told that my tickets can’t be used in store. Suggestions? You need to go back to the game board if your IT department can’t get the app to work correctly for everyone. I have seen numerous posts about people having the same issue. Please advise.
Hi Tonja – I was able to scan about 50 tickets through the app last night. Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it?
The app is not working. I have deleted and redownloaded more than once.
Very frustrated at the Monopoly “freebies.” They are on My List but when checking out, they do not come off of the total. No one at the store seems to know what to do to rectify the situation. I’m done with Monopoly; this is a joke and a scam!
I would check to make absolutely certain that the just4U account you signed in to at checkout (usually using your alternative ID – your phone number) is actually the SAME account you are using on-line for Monopoly. I witnessed two separate instances in last month where this was the problem.
#1 – While waiting in checkout person in front of me had long argument with Safeway cashier because none of their digital coupons were being applied. After a bit it became obvious customer inputted wrong phone # (this became obvious when clerk asked the customer if HER name was FRED because that was the name on the account associated with the phone # that had been entered). Turned out the phone # she entered was 1 digit off from her real one, but matched the phone # of another Safeway customer. They cancelled the transaction, she reentered correct phone #, and then they scanned everything again and all her digital coupons were applied correctly.
#2 – One of my friends asked me to help one of their friends who was having a problem with their Safeway account. After about 15 minutes of questions and looking, it was obvious there were TWO accounts, one account where they were managing their digital coupons/monopoly stuff and another account tied to the phone # they were using at checkout. They had recently moved and somehow ended up with TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS – one with old address, one with new address, both with different phone #s. Unfortunately they were using one account for everything on line, and the other one at checkout. Deleted the duplicate account, kept the account where all the coupons were loaded, and changed the phone #/alternate ID to what they wanted to use at checkout.
I only have one Safeway account. I know it was linked correctly to the only account, because I was able to take advantage of the coupons from the tickets via the app. The app stopped working about a month ago. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it on two devices with no luck. From other comments, I am not the only one. Could you please have your IT fix the bugs or the website that is always in the “403 forbidden” mode before the game expires? Thank you.
No one on this site, including the lady who runs it, have nothing to do with the running of the Safeway/Monopoly websites — we are fellow Safeway customers trying to help our our fellows with Safeway/Monopoly related things. Having said that, it occurs to me that there are some other things you might try now that I know that part of your problem is the “403 forbidden”.
1. When the “403 forbidden” notice shows up, clear your cache and all cookies and try to login to the Monopoly site again. Occasionally, this will get you past this type of notice. It probably won’t but it is worth a try.
2. About a month ago the Monopoly site stopped working for me too. About that time I started getting failure notices from all kinds of websites I went to. Usually Chrome (my normal browser) would tell me it failed to establish a secure connection; but a few times the 403 forbidden thing showed up. From what I could determine, many, many portions of the internet went to a new security protocol update about then and if your browser version was too old it just wouldn’t work. I fixed problem by switching to Firefox (where the version I have is a year newer than Chrome) and all these problems went away. So you may need to update your browser to a newer version or try a different browser.
This is the most screwed up form of a game and its site ; There is no easy intuitive way to get to the numbers insertion part.
Is there no game board this year?
Correct, there is no game board this year.
My code is invalid. Replacement?
Hi Alice – I don’t believe there are replacement codes. I too have had a few invalid tickets.
Every invalid code I’ve had this year (about a dozen on over 600 entered tickets) was an entry error by myself (I enter codes manually through a desktop computer). If you are entering the codes manually, I would check the code carefully and you’ll probably find you entered it slightly wrong. Z versus 2, B vs 8, vice versa, etc. are the most common errors on my part I have found.
One of my friends has been scanning codes with smart phone app and has 3 invalid codes returned. 2 of them were accepted as valid when she then entered them manually. Checking the bar code on the ticket for these showed that both had small breaks in the barcode so that the app probably scanned/read them wrong.
In four years of playing Monopoly (over 2500 tickets total), I have only had ONE ticket that was actually INVALID.
what is the address we mail in our used tickets to for Last Chance Sweepstakes? I have looked everywhere and can’t find it or the actual instructions?
Hi Barbara – You are automatically entered in the last chance sweepstakes every time you scan or enter a code. Here’s what the rules say about the mail-in last chance sweepstakes Entry into Mon-14 Last Chance Sweepstakes by Mail:

Mail your entry in a 1st class–stamped, hand addressed envelope to: MON-14 Last Chance Sweepstakes, P.O. Box 441407, Kennesaw, GA 30160.
You may enter more than once by mail, but each entry must be mailed separately and contain an official, original Digital Code that has not been previously used.
Any envelope mailed in using certified services or which require a signature will be disqualified. Only envelopes mailed with first class postage will be accepted.

Can’t scan. get message:
Your request cannot be processed at this time.
I’ve getting this for three days.
Hi Richard – I’m sorry for your trouble. Perhaps you can delete the app and re-download it and see if that works. let me know. Thanks
