@mtnagel 1) Marianos(Kroger) Cash Back explicitly excludes spending for alcohol.

Figured that was the case and almost typed it, but figured it’s a non issue at a grocery store where you are likely to spend money on lots of stuff that isn’t alcohol.

2. Other than discounted gift cards, how do you get 10% off groceries.?

Credit card offers. Chase and US Bank have given me tons of 10% off $90 offers so I’ll buy what I’m going to buy and add on a GC to get up around $90. Still have $100’s in GCs I saved 10% on.

Does KCB spend on anything in the store?
Yes you can send it to card and it will come off your next purchase. But you can cash it out to paypal too, which is what I do since I get 5-10% off on grocery spend.

There are some insane beer/alcohol rebates lately. This is Ohio and need a Kroger for Kroger cash back (KCB). Some I did multiple times which you need multiple Kroger accounts to do.

Paid - $125.76
Cash back - $225.08
Net - $99.32 money maker

If you go by $/100 sheets, this isn’t a great deal. 3400 sheets for $19.99 is $0.59/100 sheets. Last time I got Cottonelle ultra soft (which I say is equivalent to Charmin) it was $19.14 for 94720 sheets or $0.20/100 sheets. This seems to be the price now as well with 5+ SS and 25% off coupon. Of course you get the holder with Charmin.

Do people still actually send things through the USPS?

Pretty much only greeting cards for my parents.

Got two sets earlier with my SO. Shocked they didn’t make you use the app to avoid double/triple/etc dipping and just to track you.

CardCash

I just bought a couple gift cards and one of them say the balance is $0 when it should be $50. I messaged them, but it says I’ll get a refund. I already see the order tracked in paypay, but wonder how this will effect the deal if they (hopefully) do refund my money.

I did place another order yesterday so now paypal shows I should be getting the $20 reward, but CardCash did refund my money. I wonder if Paypal will stop the reward? I didn’t see anything in the terms about returns or refunds, but I have to imagine they would take it back. I’m debating placing another order. Hmmm…

So I ended up placing a 3rd order since the first got mostly refunded. I got the $20 reward just now. So ended up getting $119.44 in value for $89.42 or about 25% discount. Nice!

New to this. I just checked my PayPal “Rewards” tab for the first time and saw I’d receive 1000 for using PayPal. Can my oop be any amount?

If you don’t see a minimum spend then it sounds like that’s true.
