      Albertsons offered me a $25 off a purchase of of $25 if I transferred a prescription, which i did on 6/30 - and picked up on 7/1. I received both a text message and an email confirming that the offer was added to my account, and to use it all I needed to do was enter my phone number at checkout. It has never been added and has never been able to be used. I have had contact with the Albertsons chat and phone support on three different occasions, each time being told it would be added to my account within 48 hours - and each time it never has. Last phone support call I was told by a supervisor they would call me back to make sure it was handled, but they never called. This is fraudulent. Albertsons made an offer which I fulfilled, but they have never completed their end of the bargain. I am trying for resolution here before filing complaints with the state *************** and the State AG.

      On 07/25/23 I called Albertsons Pharmacy located at ******************************************************************* and spoke with ***** (pharmacist). I have ******** and work out of town several weeks a month. I have picked up my Adderrall prescription early for over a decade at the Albertsons pharmacy, today I called to get my script process as I will be in ****** for the next 22 days. ***** (the supposed pharmacist) interrogated me about the early fill and I explained the doctor was aware (she put a note in the profile), and she did infact authorize the early fill. He then said, your insurance wont cover the med to which I replied I know, I go through this every month. He then stated ON SPEAKER PHONE WITH SEVERAL WITNESSES LISTENING that did you hear what I said? Youll need to pay cash to which I replied AGAIN I know he then stated I can report your cash pays to ******** at my discretion and you can lose your coverage. I asked him why no one else has ever said this or threatened me in the manner her did, and he laughed, I then asked for his managers phone number, and he told me take your prescriptions somewhere else and hung up on me.. what exactly is the problem? I have filled at Albertsons for 20 years!! I called his manager but got NO CALL back. Why would he threaten me to report me to ******** when Im following my Doctors orders? ***** needs to be terminated!

      Albertsons has failed to pay rebates for products purchased at their ******* store at ****************************************************************************. Two $15 rebates for Bud Light beer were denied. I clipped these rebates on the ******* app prior to purchase but Albertsons customer service claims I did not. I have email correspondence with them where I included a screenshot of the clipped coupon but they denied I clipped the coupon and instead claimed I was at fault and included several reasons I could have failed to follow the claim process, none of which were true. I can provide the emails and the screenshot if needed.

      On several occasions, while shopping and using my club card, I have not been receiving the correct advertised sale price in the Albertsons Weekly ad. Also the items listed on sale and the listed price on the shelf sticker, I have experienced an overcharge. I have to call it to the attention of the cashier, customer service, call the store and return after reviewing my receipt. The adjustment is made, but I feel that it is not customer error. I am irritated and the store personnel are irritated. I did contact Albertsons and the BBB prior with the issue in the last 12 months. I know what I purchased on 06/27/23 for $86.06 is in question. I submitted the billing to the Albertsons website for a response. Prior to going to the store, I clip the sale items on the email page and my cell phone. I slide my club card and enter my cell phone number when checking out. There needs to be an inquiry with Albertsons false advertising and ripping individuals off and something is wrong with entries in their computer system. I don't have this problem at the local Smiths store with their club card. Vons and Albertsons merged together as one company. Please review the information I have provided to you. Thanks

      Hello, my issue that I am still experiencing is deceptive advertising sales. I have to alert the clerks of overcharging based on my checkout receipt. I been advised last week by the self-serve checkout clerk that the sale price is not recognized at the self-check out, but it is recognized at the regular check out only and that she would correct the overcharge this time. This was the *********** store on ***********, *********, **.  I should not have to advise the clerk that I am overcharge each time I go into to store to purchase a sale item advertised in the Weekly Flyer.

      Hello 

      We received your recent communication. Our IT team had "resynced" your account on the backend here because no errors could be found.  We hadn't heard anything more therefore we closed the case.   Previously in July , we advised you via email , your account is not reflecting clips.  Where and how are you adding those coupons to your loyalty account please?  Your device is not adding or syncing your clips.  This may be the issue because on our end all is working as it should be.   We are able to add clips/coupons to your loyalty account on this end as well and today we added32 personalized deals that were not there previously.  Please take a look at your account in the device you are using and let us know in the "account" or "member" section, let us know the Club Card # showing as registered for your account.  We look forward to getting this resolved for you. 

      Thank you

Tonight I chatted again and the agent sent me an email saying a refund was done but that is not true. I just need a refund for the missing ite.s from order ******** totalling $49.83.

      We recently tried several times to refund the card on file and it is being declined by the card issuer so the customer must contact their financial institution.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a complaint against Albertsons Corporation for an apparent violation of the California Consumer Privacy Act (****). I am a long-time customer of ********************** Corporation and have provided my personal data to them over the course of our interactions, trusting that it would be used in accordance with their stated Privacy Policy and with applicable laws.Recently, I have been disturbed to find that my personal data - including my email address and phone number - was shared by Albertsons Corporation with an external legal representative without my explicit consent or prior knowledge.I understand, as per the ***** businesses must inform consumers about the categories of personal data they collect and the purposes for which they will be used. Albertsons' privacy policy states that they collect **************** information capable of being associated with me. It is my understanding that this data should only be used for purposes communicated to me, which, to my knowledge, did not include sharing with external parties, such as their legal representation.Furthermore, I have made multiple attempts to request that Albertsons legal representation cease contact with me, but to no avail. I believe this ongoing contact is a result of the unauthorized sharing of my personal data and is a clear violation of my rights under the ****.This matter does not involve litigation; rather, it concerns Albertsons Corporation's disregard for the **** and their own privacy policy. I am looking to the Better Business Bureau for assistance in resolving this issue, and I hope that through your involvement, Albertsons Corporation will take appropriate steps to ensure the privacy and security of my personal data.

      I placed an order on the Albertsons website on 04/28/2023. It was expected to be delivered on 04/29/2023. However my order was not delivered. I reached out to Albertsons chat department and was informed that I would be refunded. To this day I have yet to be refunded. I received an email on April 29th stating my refund was pending. Nothing was refunded. I then received another email on May 2nd stating my refund was declined because it has already been processed. Still have not received a refund. I reached back out on may 4th only to be told again that they have submitted the refund request and to call the payment services department that told me that the refund was submitted. Again I still have not received a refund. I started a dispute with the payment services department (Dispute ID ***********. Yet again, I still have not received my refund. This is my first time placing an order with this app and it will definitely be my last. I cancelled the fresh pass and I am so disappointed in the service I received from this company. I am just wondering where is my money? I have not received a refund to my EBT card nor have I received the $13 and change taken from my debit card. Why is it so hard to send a refund and what is the hold up?

      I placed order ******** at *******************. The order arrived completely incorrect. I called the store. They gave the driver the wrong order. The store does not know how to refund the order and keeps referring me to customer service. **************** keeps sending a refund request to the store and nothing is getting done because the employees at the store don't know how to refund the order. I just want a refund of the $56.44 for an order I never received because of the stores incompetence.

      Greetings *******************: 

      Thank you for reaching out. We have tried to refund the customer on 2 separate occasions and our payment systems are declining the refund due to the method of payment. Our system shows declined by card issuer The card issuer must contact his/her Financial Institution to see why the card is inactive and unable to be credited. If you have any more questions, feel free to let ** know and we will do our very best to assist.

      Thank you
