Albertsons notches up a first as it offers Uber One perks to loyalty programme members
Albertsons Companies says it has become the first major grocer to offer Uber One perks to all loyalty members.
Members of the free for U and paid FreshPass programmes can now get extended free trials of Uber One, unlocking savings on the likes of eligible rides and food deliveries.
“Our loyalty programme offers rich benefits and savings to elevate the customer shopping experience whether in-store, online or on the go,” says Terry Singla, GVP Customer Strategy and Engagement at Albertsons Cos.
“We are proud to help lead the industry by making Uber One perks available to all loyalty members, not just paid subscribers, because value should be accessible to everyone. This is just another meaningful step in our mission to earn ‘Customers for Life’ by delivering value, ease and convenience wherever possible.”
“This expanded collaboration builds on the strong partnership we’ve already built between Uber and Albertsons Cos. - and makes shopping not just easier, but more rewarding,” says Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery & Retail for North America at Uber.
“By bringing Uber One benefits to all of Albertsons Cos. loyalty members, we’re offering even more value and convenience across the experiences customers already love.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Loyalty programmes were a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
