How To Sign Up For Just For U

Note: Just For U accounts can be used at any of the above brands. That said, there are sign up links for every brand that we have listed below. Again, it does not matter which link you use to sign up.

How To Earn Just For U Points

Just For U differentiates between two different types of spend with regards to how many fuel points you will earn:

  • Grocery & Pharmacy: 1 point for every $1 you spend
  • Gift Cards: 2 points for every $1 you spend

 

Bonus Points Gift Card Promo

Not only does Just For U give a greater benefit to gift card purchases than to general grocery spend every day but they will also run semi-regular promotions to give bonus points on certain brands of gift cards (i.e. Earn 10x points on Adidas gift cards). In order to receive the bonus points, you will need to clip the digital coupon on your Just For U account.

 

Is There A Limit To The Number Of Fuel Points You Can Earn?

Nope. The only limit is your credit card limit.

 

How To Redeem Just For U Points

For redemptions, 100 points is equal to 1 reward, which is worth a $0.10 / gallon discount or can be used for a multitude of grocery rewards.

 

Just For U Fuel Redemption Overview

100 points are worth a $0.10 / gallon discount at a Just For U affiliated gas station up to a max $1.00 / gallon discount on up to 25 gallons (or 20 gallons at Jewel-Osco). Additionally, you can get up to a $0.10 / gallon discount at select Chevron locations.

 

Just For U Grocery Redemption Overview

Their are tiers of redemptions options for 1 reward to 7 rewards (or 100-700 points). At most tiers you can receive a free grocery item (1 reward for 1 free Hass Avocado) or a discount off a specific grocery item (1 reward for $1 off when $1 spent on bananas). At each level you can also receive a set dollar amount with all these options listed below:

  • 1 Reward = $1 Off Your Next Purchase
  • 2 Reward = $2 Off Your Next Purchase
  • 3 Reward = $4 Off Your Next Purchase
  • 4 Reward = $5 Off Your Next Purchase
  • 5 Reward = $7 Off Your Next Purchase
  • 7 Reward = $10 Off Your Next Purchase

 

Do Just For U Points & Rewards Expire?

Points: Yes, at the end of the month points are converted to rewards automatically and any left over points are forfeited. For example, if you earn 750 points in a month, you will receive 7 rewards and forfeit the remaining 50 points.

Rewards: Rewards expire on the last day of the following month in which they were earned. For example, if you earn fuel points in March, they expire on the last day of April.

 

How Much Are Just For U Points Worth?

Fuel: Just For U Points are worth between 0.0¢ / point (if you let them expire) and 2.5¢ / point if you are able to maximize the 25 gallon max discount. Given the average fuel tank of 14-18 gallons, it is reasonable to assume that Just For U Points are worth between 1.4¢ and 1.8¢ per point when used for fuel.

Grocery: Using the set dollar discounts above, Just For U Points are worth between 0.0¢ / point (if you let them expire) and 1.4¢ if you use 7 rewards for $10 off your next purchase. Assuming you do not let any rewards expire, it is reasonable to assume that Just For U Points are worth between 1.0¢ and 1.4¢ per point when used for groceries.

 

Should I use my Just For U Rewards for Gas or Grocery?

Based off the math above and simplicity, you will receive a better return if you use your Just For U points and rewards for gas instead of grocery.

 

Where Can I See My Just For U Points & Rewards Balance?

You can see your current Just For U Points Balance by clicking on the appropriate brand below with an example below.

When you check your Just For U Points balance you will see three numbers…

  1. Points Towards Next Reward: How many points until you receive your next reward (i.e. how many points until you hit the next 100 points level)
  2. Rewards Balance: How many total rewards you currently have available to you
  3. Expiring Rewards: How many rewards expire at the end of the current month

Using Just For U Points For Discount Gift Cards

If we assume that each fuel point is worth 1.5¢ (see above), that means that on normal days when gift card purchases earn 2x fuel points, we can purchase gift cards from Albertson, Safeway and their family of brands at an effective 3% discount. If they run a 10x Just For U Points promo day, we can purchase gift cards at an effective 15% discount.

 

Combining Gift Card Sales With Just For U Points

Luckily for gift card resellers, you earn fuel points even on discounted gift cards. For example, $50 Adidas gift cards will sometimes go on sale for $40. On a normal day, we would also earn 100 Just For U Points worth ~$1.5. If we can resell the Adidas gift card for a profit or breakeven, the Just For U points become free. That said, it is rare (if ever) that you will see a discounted gift card promotion that is stack-able with a bonus point promotion.

Other Fuel Points Programs

Fuel Points Programs are prevelant across the country with almost every major grovery chain offering a progrm of some form. That said, each program has it's own intricacies and works a little differently. Luckily for you, we maintain guides (just like this one) for all the major programs.
