Hang tight! Rewards are on their way. If you earned a Staples Reward during the month of September, they will arrive on or around October 18. We apologize for the delay.

Thanks. Bought one when the store opened. Haven’t been to Fry’s in a long time.

Ally increased from 1.85% to 1.90%.

The expiration date has been changed to 11/17.

Rewards are up, with expiration date of 10/31.

BTW, staples.com no longer price-matches.

@my4mainecoons said in STAPLES REWARDS: No Longer Expire (YMMV -see post):

why did they drop you mid-year? You should have earned Premier for the year.

The Premier upgrade is no longer based on the calendar year. This was changed a while ago.

@mistercheap said in STAPLES REWARDS: No Longer Expire (YMMV -see post):

@c3 sounds like they dropped you out of premier status.

My rewards account still says premier. I have the Staples More card, but I don’t know if that was ever properly linked to my rewards account.

@mistercheap said in STAPLES REWARDS: No Longer Expire (YMMV -see post):

@c3 always be sure to get a paper receipt and check that you were properly credited. it shows the # of carts turned in on the receipt at the store. if it’s off, you can have it corrected then and there. that’s definitely a cashier input error.

My rewards account says: recycled 20, rewarded 10. I’m waiting for the actual reward coupon before I complain.

Ally 11-month no penalty CD went up to 2.10%.

After giving me credit for only 10 cartridges when I turned in 20 cartridges as a Premier member, and the delay in issuing the August rewards, I have less and less confidence in the Staples Rewards program.

@myisland said in Seasonal 4-Strain Flu Shot (No cost on most insurances) $19.99​ @ Costco:

Flu shots don’t work.

What took you so long?

Got my flu shot and the $5 Target coupon today. The coupon is valid for 1 month.

SFGI increased to 1.91%

I don’t know what “if you receive the offer” means:
https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/flu?target=true
$5 Target coupon* when you get a no-cost flu shot.**
*If you receive the offer at CVS Pharmacy® in Target: Terms and conditions are applied to coupon. See coupon for details. Coupon valid for Target merchandise only. Offer available only at CVS Pharmacy® locations in Target stores 8/13/18–12/31/18. Limit 1 per customer. Coupon cannot be issued at pharmacy locations in AR, NJ and NY.

@jbw said in $200 Visa PrePaid GC no Activation Fee @ Staples 9/2 - 9/8/18:

Is this for a variable fill $200 visa gift card or (2) $100 cards? When they do this at Von’s Safeway it is always for (2) $100 cards.

singled fixed $200 card

“Not eligible for Ship to Store at this time”

@myisland said in Spend $40+ at McAfee.com, make $15 a/cb and Amex offers YMMV:

Even John McAfee won’t install McAfee products. Good luck removing them from your computer!

Nobody said anything about installing the product.

Ally went up to 1.80%.

The top tier of 11-month no-penalty CD (essentially liquid) went up to 2.00%.

@dangeruss said in Prime Members: Purchase a $25 Amazon Gift Card, Get $5 Future Credit @Amazon:

You also can’t use GCs apparently if you are redeeming CC points.

Yes, you can. That credit card has to be the default payment method. Apply/adjust the points on the final checkout page.

I bought a physical $25 GC, and it’s being shipped UPS Next Day Air from KY to CA!

@mrvietnam said in Amazon device sale for Prime Day - Fire Tablet as low as $9.99, Kindle as low as $9.99:

Oh. I see. Then for the Fire 8 HD $39.99 is the final price, unless you have the Whole Foods $10 promo, right?

For the 32GB version, yes.

$19.99 is for the 16GB version, which is out of stock.

You only have to redeem 1 point ($0.01) to get the discount.

@thediggler said in Whole Foods Prime Day Offers: Spend $10 In-Store, Get $10 Online Credit to Use on Prime Day & 10% Back on Prime Rewards Visa Card Purchases:

WF Credit should apply to the above.

For $10, I bought a Kindle instead of a pack of adhesive tapes.

Get $30/$40 off Kindle E-Readers with Amex MR points. There are 2 separate activation buttons.

I’m seeing this for $10 (Free after WF $10 off)

Amazon is applying the $40 Paperwhite discount to the regular Kindle.

Get $30/$40 off Kindle E-Readers with Amex MR points. There are 2 separate activation buttons.

The $10 credit is active. It does NOT work with purchasing of gift cards.

Activation fee for $100 Visa is $5.95. The other two are breakeven and money loser.

@kimi said in Staples $10/$20 CRT valid B&M only 7/8-7/28/2018 YMMV:

I received a $10 off $30 register coupon. It states “Cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon”. I have a $13 rewards balance coupon. Does this mean I cannot use the rewards balance coupon with the $10 off coupon?

Rewards coupon definitely works with it.

Has anyone else received this coupon on the receipt?

After the Whole Foods purchase, you get a confirmation email:
“Your recent Whole Foods Market purchase earned you $10 to spend on Prime Day.”

@mrvietnam I expect it to be $10 after store coupons. Manufacturers’ coupons shouldn’t matter.

Free delivery for $15 order is back for many stores.
Google Home mini is on sale for $34, or $25.50 after 25% off.

1. Buying Amazon GC no longer gives you the 20% discount, at least for more recent activations.
2. If you have already used the offer, you may be able to activate and use the offer again.

@dangeruss said in Amazon Prime Members: Get 20% off eligible purchases when you use Amex Membership Rewards Points (maximum discount of $100) - YMMV for Non-Members:

@c3 I signed up for the one week trial too… except that trial is going to end before prime day :-(.

Your free trial is only good for a week? I thought it’s always 30 days.

@geezlouise said in Amazon Prime Members: Get 20% off eligible purchases when you use Amex Membership Rewards Points (maximum discount of $100) - YMMV for Non-Members:

I was able to get $500 in GCs - $400 for Amazon and $100 for Whole Foods - with the discount. No merchandise necessary but no matter what combination I tried, I was only able to get the 20% off with a max of $400 in Amazon GCs. If I had more than that in Amazon cards the discount dropped to 10%.

The discount cannot be applied to the Amazon GC, so at least 20% of the total has to be something other than the Amazon GC to absorb the discount.

I saw the banner in my Amazon account yesterday but ignored it after I read “no gift card” in the T&C. Then I searched other deal sites and saw that the deal actually works for gift cards. Already finished my $500 order.

I also signed up for the free trial Prime membership and received this offer:

1. Buy a Prime item before Prime Day.
2. Find something great on Prime Day!
3. Claim your $10 reward.

Ally is at 1.65%.

@dangeruss said in AMEX OFFERS (ymmv): $15 back on $30 Sams Club.com, $3/15 Boston Market, $10/40 Etsy.com, others:

Any way to do it for a membership renewal?

I don’t know. I’m not a member. Signing up for a new membership definitely can use split payment because it uses the same checkout system as regular purchases.

Keep in mind that you can use 2 credit cards per order for samsclub.com.

The ones I submitted in late March finally showed up as 5/3/2018.

1. No special account tier is required to use this coupon.
2. Some of the exclusions can be ignored.
3. This coupon may be stackable with other coupons.

Has anyone seen the rebate status at mobil.rebateresearch.com for the current offer period?

I’m also getting the expected number of notification emails.

Ange and Sara are upvoting each other … a lot.

Staples will have $200 MasterCard without purchase fee. If you have a 5% credit card for office supplies, this may be interesting to you.

@gwraigty said in Charvat v. Resort Marketing Group, Inc update:

@c3 Can you check to see if your number is still listed under whitepages.com with your name? That’s what I used as my proof.

It is, but Googling my number shows a similar site with better info. I have uploaded it as well.
