Oh this is pretty neat! I just got an email from Fresh & Easy and they’ve just announced a new rewards card! This is how it works…
- First you’ll need to sign up for you new card here
- Then pick it up at your local Fresh & Easy store
- For every $1 you spend you earn 1 Point
The best part is you get 250 points JUST FOR JOINING and another 250 points because Fresh & Easy is so nice, so that’s 500 points which is equal to $5.00!
With your new Friends Card you’ll earn cash Rewards, bonus Coupons, and get insider news. Also now through Thanksgiving you’ll earn double points! If you had a chance to read through my Chicken Experiment you’ll see that I highly recommend the All Natural Boneless/Skinless chicken breast at Fresh & Easy as it’s regularly priced at $1.99/lb.

I just signed up- and got my first 250 but have not seen the second year. Looks like you have to go to the store and pick up a card before you can “load” any coupons onto it. Does this mean they are no longer going to be sending out coupons for $ off $ purchase- I love those things!

I got an email this morning!

Hi Julia,
I joined through your link and only got 250 points added to my account, not 500. What’s the deal with that?

Julia October 10, 2011 at 12:17 pm
It’s not an affiliate link or anything
I think how it works is you get the the other 250 when you pick up your card at the store…

I just signed up for it! Thanks for your email this morning!

My local Fresh and Easy was offering free t-shirts when you registered for the card in store.

I HIGHLY recommend their GRILLER PACKS!

The Frugal Find via Facebook October 10, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Tessa, from what I understand you get teh other 250 when you pick up your card.

Ack!! Fresh & Easy is hands down my favorite grocery store! Well, favorite out west, that is. Piggly Wiggly is my favorite back home in Mississippi.
I rarely shop at F&E, though, because they don’t accept mfr cpns. I can’t wait to start using the rewards card!
Rebecca October 11, 2011 at 6:27 am
This is so cool! I only recently started shopping there, but I’ve found a lot of things are more expensive than other bigger stores…Maybe this will make a difference.

I am officially up-and-running with my Fresh & Easy Friends Card! Thanks!
1) I signed up thru your link online.
2) I visited the store, picked up my physical Friends Card, they gave me a free tshirt. I purchased a cantaloupe ($.50 on clearance). Scanned my Friends Card.
3) I went to the Fresh & Easy website. Checked my account. Already there is 500 points there (250 pts for joining + 250 for first trip). It only took one week to get 500 pts.
4) On the website, I converted my 500 pts to $5 reward. I loaded the $5 onto my Friends Card.
5) Next time I shop, the $5 should be deducted automatically from my total…with Card scan (or in my case, I linked my phone number)
6) On the website, I loaded e-coupons to my Friends Card for bonus points. Choice 6 from among 12.

How I used my *FREE $5* from Fresh & Easy (ie, My shopping trip to test-drive new Friends Card):
8–San Francisco Bay Coffee, 12oz bags clearanced @ $3.24 = $25.92
Used Fresh & Easy in-ad Coupon to save $5 off a $25 purchase: (-$5.00)
Used Friends Card with loaded FREE $5 Reward (swipe it): (-$5.00)
Paid: $15.92 and earned 50 pts. (ie, 50 cents)
Result: Works out to $1.92 for 12 oz coffee bag (69% savings)
Loving the new Friends Card! It combines the “best of” Safeway Just4U + CVS ExtraBucks. Loadable e-coupons, yup! Easy rewards, yup! Freebies? Quite possible…with Bonus Coupons…
Bonus Pt Coupons:
1.) 98 bonus pts for buying $.98 Produce Pack. Freebie? If 98 pts = $.98
2.) On my coffee purchase, I earned Bonus double pts (25 x 2) based on Pre-Coupon Total.
I’m in learning-mode for F&E. My deal-hunting instincts say this is going to be fabulous.

been trying for a week to sign up no l.uck. tried phoning but wasted 30 min. not worth the frustation

Another 250 free points for F&E Friends Card automatically added today. They are apologizing for start-up woes. Here’s the email I rec’d:
Our Friends of fresh&easy rewards program launch was a little more popular than we expected and we realize you may have had trouble creating your account. Sorry about that!
(So, if you’re already a member, the new 250 pts are automatically added. If you’re not yet a member, sign up before Nov 4 to take advantage of the free pts)

How I load my $ rewards to my friend card?
Jolene December 16, 2011 at 6:50 am
Dhernandez, I hope this helps you load your rewards:
1.) sign into your Friends account
2.) Look on the right side, Blue Box, says “Welcome, (your name)”
3.) Click on “My Points & Cash Rewards”
4.) Look in Yellow Box for “My Points”
5.) Click on “Convert Points to Cash Rewards” and follow the directions.
6.) You will find $ is loaded to your Friends Card. Take your physical Friends Card to the store. It is now ready to use, good as cash.
