July 1st, 2025 I placed an online order for a Total of $358.36. Upon getting my groceries home I realized I was missing 8 items for a total of $60.36. I requested a refund immediately on the albertsons app, which was declined the next day. So I reached out to customer support and was told they would reach out to the store directly for a refund to be issued. After the allotted 7 business day wait period with no results or contact, I contacted customer support once more. I was told they would take it to the escalations department to have the issue dealt with, but again if after 7 business days I havent received results to contact again. It seems a lot like chasing my own tail so to speak, when the issue shouldve been resolved through the app when requested for the missing items. All of my items that were missing were cold items. Im assuming they were missed in the storage area when the delivery was brought to my vehicle. I mean I spent $358.36 I obviously wasnt trying to work the system. I just want the money back that I spent to this company for items that I didnt receive. As simple as that! Ive had in the past an item here or there missing from previous orders which I understand, and have never said a word otherwise, but 60 plus dollars is a significant amount. Id just like my money back and not keep getting sent in circles. The last case number I was given from customer support was ********. Hopefully this can be resolved in a timely manner!Business Response

I have previously filed a complaint with BBB hoping for a resolution, and this is regarding complaint ********. Response from ******* was that they had issued the refund. This is not true. They never issued the refund. I have called my financial institution. I have spent many hours trying to figure out what is going on but one thing is for sure ******* never refunded this to my cards. I have several screenshots in the previous complaint to back up that they agreed and said that they had done it several times. This is not the first time theyve done it its just the first time I finally complete. I feel they should not be able to get away with this. I never received anything after their response, so Im not sure how to proceed so I am opening a new complaint to let consumers know, and BBB that they did not do what they say they were going to doBusiness Response

I submitted a digital personal offer in April 2025. The PERSONAL offer entails spending 300 dollars by the end of May, resulting in the accrual of 1300 points. The system is not processing my eligible purchases made from April to May. I am aware that I recorded this in early April, since I was confident I had ample time to fulfill the offer. Upon checking today, it indicated nil accumulation despite my expenditure of hundreds on this personal offer. Upon contacting them via chat, they did not attempt to rectify the issue but merely stated that I had redeemed the deal on May 14th (impossible), the date of my most recent purchase. They subsequently claimed that the offer was just for May, even though the offer does not state that anywhere in the details; nevertheless, the offer specifics explicitly reference transactions from April. Subsequently, when I requested to speak with a supervisor, they terminated the conversation. So characteristic.Business Response

Greetings **** *********:
Thank you for sharing these details. Upon thorough review of your account, we confirmed that the transactions made between April 1 to April 30 did not meet the $325 spend threshold required for the offer. Eligible purchases made from April 2 through April 25 earned a total of 289 points.
However, in recognition of your ongoing engagement and commitment to meeting the offer criteria, we have issued ***** points to your account as a one-time courtesy.
We sincerely appreciate your continued loyalty and trust this gesture supports your ongoing rewards experience.

I was informed by the ************************ (***) to write in to you in reference to my case #********* I filed with the, *** in reference to digital coupons fineprint discrepancies. In reference to my "udeals" in the digital coupons section on the Vons application. I have read the fine print on my "udeals" digital coupon(s), and on the particular item I purchase on a frequent basis, it does not limit me to one purchase. The expiration date for the coupon is for the date of 05/30/25; in-addition the fineprint further states-it ************** limited to inventory on hand and subject to availability. Sales in retail quantities only. While supplies last." Since I purchased at retailed price at the store I should be entitled to one daily if I cared for until date of expiration of coupon or until management on the floor rescinds the digital coupon. For the record the initial purchase went well, ultimately I have to purchase the item within the requirements of the coupon; I have to subsequently request for assistance from the manager on the floor to override the price; which she did do on this occasion. The fineprint specifies until inventory runs out and since the coupons terminates on 05/30 and they have plenty of stock, I would be entitled to the discounted price of the product, one-per-day until the expiration of the coupon, stock is not available ,or management on the floor rescinds the coupon at the cashier earlier than the expiration of the digital coupon; in this scenario 05/30. Since I have met all the requirements of the coupon and they have plenty of stock I kindly request the issue be remedy by not preventing my "good" shopping experience by me as a customer having to call the floor manager to the self-checkout subsequently after each purchase. As I researched my compliant against Vons, I informed myself; Vons is owned and managed by Albertsons Companies or Albertsons. Thank you for your time and consideration,Business Response
