Long list of short-comings.
If their CEOs want more feedback from this guy, they’ll have to pay my retainer.

@mrvietnam said in BK APP Update: Google Pay and loaded Burger King Gift Cards now 'forms of payment' directly on APP itself:

That’s great news, MC. Now I can finally use the digital gift cards I bought on Fluz. All they gave me was a gift card number and PIN and most Burger King restaurants couldn’t redeem it without the magnetic stripe.

@MrVietnam you can also now add BK GC’s to your Google Pay account as well as BK app.

@ukedog Yes

@mrvietnam Same here, i didn’t even know they have the mail-in option. I used Staples mail in recycle for a while (after they closed all stores here years ago). But stopped after i quit buying inks ( can never print from coupons.com anymore).

Amazon Prime Insider & Prime Membership Benefits

Prime Members Exclusive Deals (refreshing page reveals different deals. Old thread on topic.

Exclusive limited time bonus discounts on select items for Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card and Amazon Prime Store Card holders Prime membership required, stacks with 5% back card discount. Old thread.

It looks like the unsolicited email about returning items was only for an order where items were out of stock.

People do what they’re comfortable doing. When I placed my orders it occurred to me that I could order anything on the site for crazy high price. That was out of my comfort zone. Others have a wider zone.

Anyway, its another week and I’m working on my RA.com orders.

@fivetalen I tried to find deals for my engagement ceremony but I didnt find the brand in befrugal. I searched in google and found deal from a site Coupon Outlet. It was not offering any cashback but still it gave me a valid Promo Code. Sometimes its not about cashback. Only a single working deal can help you out in your shopping.

I didn’t receive my Ink Recycling Rewards. I recycled later in the month: 3/27. Just chatted. I gave rep the receipt number and I’m supposed to have the Rewards in 3 business days. We’ll see.

Last month (?) I made an online purchase using 2 Rewards checks. I cancelled the order within 30 minutes. CSR said I’d receive both Rewards checks back. Only one came back. Chatted. They said they’d re-issue the missing Rewards check. It didn’t happen. Chatted again. It was finally re-issued.

I’ve had such problem. Thanks for advice! I wanted to order a Wonder Woman costume with Adult Superhero Cape. But then I remembered that I have a gift card and I can use it. This is the first time I’ve ever had a card like this and I didn’t know how to use it, so your advice helped me a lot. Thank you. Now I’m thinking, I would like to get another gift card like this as soon as possible. This is very beneficial. And I can also participate in some contests and communicate with people. Very cool. I hope in the future, I will have such opportunities to buy more cool things for myself.

It’s a puzzling strategy honestly.

The current arrangement allows pre-sensitive shoppers (us) to get the best deal with a sale Kohl’s wouldn’t otherwise get vs most (unsavvy) shoppers getting occasional deals.

I only buy when I can stack but as a retail exec I’m highly confident I’m still a profitable Kohl’s shopper when I do convert. Unlike now, when I’m unlikely to shop there at all.

If I had to guess, I’d say this will be unwound well before Christmas.

Might as well report it even if you’re under the $600 limit. Most people are taking the standard deduction these days anyway. It’s an even better idea to break down your ebay income with expenses, as mentioned for a side business for ebay.

Unless you have a main job with taxes withheld, and any additional income from swagbucks or ebay would cause you to not get a bigger refund or if you have to mess with your withholdings.

Keeping track of ebay income is relatively simple. Spreadsheets are free from Google Docs (personally, I pay for and use Office 365, but whatever floats your boat.)

My guess: Two factor log-in with a code sent to your registered phone number.
Someday…retina scans.

Yes, same here. I clipped the coupon on all my accounts and today the offer is gone. I guess the manufacturer had a change of heart. That’s OK as I really didn’t want or need that freebie anyway,

@c3 said in Question about Starbucks Cafe inside Alberstsons/Vons in SoCal:

SD reports that for multiple items totaling $5, it would take off only the cheapest item.

They must have fixed the glitch. Now I do not believe it has to be a single $5+ item, but rather any amount of items that add up to at least $5. I did the offer twice (on two J4U accounts). One time I got a $2.65 blueberry muffin and a $2.45 chocolate chip cookie and the $5 discount came off leaving me to only pay a dime. The next order I got 2 brownies for $2.95 each and the $5 came off and I only had to pay 90 cents OOP. Actually the brownies were marked as being $2.75 each, but rang up at $2.95 each, so I paid an extra 40 cents due to their pricing mistake. The cashier said there was nothing she could do about it, but the manager came in an hour or two. I thought not worth the trouble just for 40 cents.

Special marinade for the chicken.

@ctujackbauer At this point I’d be curious to see a list of Sears and Kmart stores that are still operating and have NOT announced a closing date. It certainly was a “deal ride” during their SYWR points era, especially during the free shipping phase, points “rolling” offers, and so on. Hard to believe that business model didn’t pan out, lol.

Our local Kmart store has been shuttered/vacant about 3 years now, and currently has a big tent set up in the parking lot that serves as an area Covid-19 vaccine center. Part of the New Normal I guess.

Reminds me of the best Credit Card rebate ever. Egghead had their own Visa card, and they converted to another bank, stored 130 bonus points converted to $1300.00 to spend at Egghead. Now those were the days. Just received a Fry’s email over the weekend. Good thing I didn’t make a purchase.

So the pillows are clearanced on on BB&B. I bought some when I needed a filler for my order and I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty nice.

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/mypillow-reg-classic-firm-fill-bed-pillow/3310038?keyword=mypillow

They’re very comfortable, but I’m fairly sure they dry me out. Will have to decide if I want to keep them long term.

The nice thing is they’re fully washable and dryable.

@sonofzeus said in Need a deal on AirCare 1043:

You never mentioned:

your interest in bulk buy;

Well we have 2 humidifiers, so I wanted at least 2.

the value of your time is close to zero.

To be fair, I accomplished most of the things while waiting for the kids to come back from TKD and/or driving, so I did not spend too much extra time on it. I’ve also never PMed at HD before, so at least it was nice to know the process and issues. It might help in future deals.

Honestly, I probably spent less time on this than it would’ve taken me to actually go to a physical store, so I think it’s a win. I also wanted to use my HD gc, which I’m sure I bought at some discount previously, and I’ve accomplished that.

It was very annoying that the reps wouldn’t straight up match menards. I wonder if it’s because the product was so much lower there (and way below MAP).

Also I learned today that maybe the wicks I have right now aren’t so bad, but just need some maintanence.

https://homeguides.sfgate.com/keep-humidifier-wick-drying-out-20493.html

Regardless, I was able to get the brand name wicks for the same price as the knock off ones, so I’m happy.

@ncsunshine said in Beware...AB-3105 Get $2 back via rebate when you purchase ONE (1) bag of Pistachios (7ozor larger).:

The pistachios were something like $4.59. I called the 800 number and talked to someone overseas who I couldn’t get the message through to of the difference between $2.00 versus $200.00. Oh well…

Just ask him where you can buy a 7oz bag of pistachios for $200. Then ask for a supervisor and tell them you will be reporting them for false adverting. Contact BBB and CPB.

Good for you, Office Depot! I like competition.

I bought a Fire HD 8 on Prime Day a few years ago for $20 after the dust settled.
Traded it in because Amazon gave me a $10 g.c. and $10 towards a newer model.
Paid ~$20 for the 2020 model after that dust settled.
Using it right now. Good deal for $20. Not sure it’s worth $50 unless they give you the one without ads.

re copy/paste gone wrong:
or as I tell my wife when she is loudly “coaching” me…
I heard you twice the first time

Even though 9 stores closed in California, my local store survived this round of cuts (This is reminding me of Sears and K-Mart closures.) Off topic, but I was in a Kmart the other day, the only one left open in the entire county, and what they have done is close the periphery areas of the store and consolidate all the merchandise into the center area. They did that because before when i was in there several months ago they had many empty shelves, so now they are making the store look more fully-stocked by consolidating the items they still have available.

@ctujackbauer said in Family Video to liquidate 250 remaining stores:

You might be done with the pandemic, but the pandemic ain’t done with you. 250 stores to close, all items to be liquidated, all employees to be laid off.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pandemic-kills-off-family-video-chain-to-close-remaining-stores/

What’s a V I D E O?

Highly doubt it’s the pandemic. I don’t even own any device that can play disks.

As you guys probably know by now, it has been rumored that the Wellness levels/discounts would be going away in 2021. Not sure if this is a mistake but, when I logged into my account this morning, I saw this: NEW! YOUR GOLD TIER STATUS WILL BE EXTENDED INTO 2021. HAPPY NEW YEAR

My translation: “We’re still getting rid of Gold and Silver eventually, but we still haven’t decided on the structure of / fixed the software bugs in / recalibrated the cash registers for / explained to any employees about the new program.”

2 for 1 lapdance.

2 for 1? I’m negotiating for the conga line discount.

Apparently lol.

@briarycliffs said in Need deal on eyeglasses:

Goggles4u.com is the cheapest. I got several pairs from there under $10 shipped. Zenni is also really affordable and has some better frames. Just enter the script info, no need for the actual script.

Some coupons:
G4u - 67% off CYBER67, exp ?
Zenni 25% off CM2020, exp 12/5

Thanks. G4U is pretty cheap, They don’t have a ton of stuff in my size though (temple length 150+).

@dangeruss said in Ring Recalls 350K Video-Doorbells-2nd-Generation Due to Fire Hazard:

there’s a model # given at the link you s/b able to compare against your unit.

@rick505 that totally makes sense. I’ll look into it.
