LANHAM, Md.  – Grocery chain Safeway and Sunoco LP have teamed up to expand Safeway's Gas Rewards program to Sunoco stations in parts of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C.

Safeway customers who earn Gas Reward when they shop now have the option of redeeming their Rewards, up to 20 cents off per gallon, at Sunoco stations. Previously, Safeway's Gas Rewards, which increase with each $100 spent using a Safeway Club Card, were redeemable only at Safeway fuel stations. There are more than 120 Safeway stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and D.C. offering the program to shoppers, and approximately 200 Sunoco stations currently participating.

"Sunoco is always looking for innovative ways to provide value to our customers and reward them for choosing our brand," said Cynthia A. Archer, Sunoco LP executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "We're excited to offer our customers even more benefits through our partnership with Safeway."

With the Gas Rewards program, for every 100 Reward Points earned by shopping at Safeway stores using the Safeway Club Card, customers receive a 10 cent-per-gallon Gas Reward. Customers earn Reward Points every time they swipe their club card or input their registered phone number at checkout at their local Safeway store.

The Gas Rewards program is also available in Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions and Carrs stores located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
