Bought this yesterday, 2 patties for $7.99. Received rebate today. Kelp is commonly used in Asian cuisine.

I have never tried to get the 15% discount, so I don’t know how that works. In terms of placing an order containing multiple S&S items, you can definitely do that. Add the items to your cart as 1-time purchases, and then change them to S&S in the cart. Don’t know if that’s what you’re trying to do.

Ally Savings: 3.60% -> 3.75%
Ally MM: 3.80% -> 4.00%

@my4mainecoons said in AMEX OFFERS (Targeted) Charge $115+ on wireless bill, get $15 statement credit (x 2) to 8/15/23:

I don’t have cell service but my internet is from Xfinity. Do you think it would qualify?

That may actually work, but don’t know for sure. I remember that I had 2 Amex offers (cable and cell???), and a single Xfinity charge triggered both.

With Xfinity internet service, you can get the minimum $15+tax cell service and share it with multiple lines. I pay $19.xx for 5 lines, so I switched the payment quickly to Amex a couple of days ago because I need 6 of those payments to reach $115 by 8/15.

Someone posted this on DOC. Ally is on the list.

@mistercheap said in ALLY BANK 11 Month NO PENALTY CD 4.75% No Minimum:

True on state tax, but not necessarily ‘penalty free’ to get out of really if you get a 1-2 year Treasury

Rates drop after the 17/26-week ones. Most people are buying the 4/8-week ones as the replacement for savings.

Good rate for Ally. I just closed a NPCD and opened a new one earlier today. Treasury bills are still higher, plus no state tax.

@goldsheet said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:

@c3 Neither Ally accounts are competitive.

Yes, I understand. I don’t have much money there, mainly for bill payments.

@goldsheet said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:

ALLY Online Savings Account rate is increasing from 3.40% to 3.60%

Money Market is going from 3.5% to 3.8%. Don’t understand why there is a difference between the two.

Thanks for the free shipping code. Placed an order, got the $5 reward, and placed another order to use the $5.

@mmyk said in 2 Boxes Special K cereal at TARGET w Ibotta Exp 2/18/2023:

shelf prices were 7.99 but at register, they are 4.99

$7.99 online, price checker, and cash register

I have bought them once from Costco.

$7.99 instead of $4.99 here.

Marcus 3.3% -> 3.5% – useful for the 1% referral bonus and $100/$10K bonus.

Can % Back codes be used for the $50 every 180 days purchase to qualify for ink and toner recycling rewards?

yes

@mrvietnam said in 1/4-1/28 $10 back in rewards when you recycle or shred in Staples store:

Even though not on the qualifying list, I recycled an old memory stick

memory stick == flash drive

$100 bonus for $10,000 deposit, 90 days.

My laptops, monitors, router, etc. are all plugged into UPSes. Had 3 power glitches in one night with the recent storms.

A relative’s Ring doorbell died after a short power outage, probably because of a power surge when the power came back.

Safeway GCs are gone from many other places as well, including Staples. Whole Foods GCs are gone from Amazon. So something else is going on.

@my4mainecoons said in Kroger buys Albertson's Co (including all related chains - Acme, Shaws, Safeway, etc):

At Safeway it began again in December for 45 days so ending soon

I have not seen it in my iBotta account.

@my4mainecoons Yes, I’m aware of your routine. The 2% iBotta offer for Safeway lasted only about a month.

@my4mainecoons said in Kroger buys Albertson's Co (including all related chains - Acme, Shaws, Safeway, etc):

There are new plastic g.c. in the stores and the old designs were pulled.

Are you referring to Safeway/Shaw selling Amazon GC? There are plenty of Amazon GCs at my Safeway. Now I’m stuck with more Amazon GC balance than I want.

I was going to buy a Safeway GC from Amazon and found that it’s no longer available, not even the eGC.

Only with direct deposit right?

Yes, of course. I already took most of the money out after the bonus was paid.

Expires 1/7/23.

Thanks. I’ll probably use it this week to continue my “recycle subscription”. 30% reward if not part of the 50% category.

@mistercheap said in Changes to Virtual Visa/MC's to pay cable/utilities/cell?:

How did you determine the $9 amount?

Trial and error. Real credit card.

When I tested this in August, Comcast changed the minimum payment to $9.

The last kiosk terminal in my area has been removed. Sigh…

yeah, really miss the kiosk set up. did a good deal of ordering via Kiosk over the years.

Coincidentally, a store manager called me today to “remind me that I have rewards available to use” (trying to get more business, I guess), completely unrelated to my visit to the store yesterday. I mentioned about the kiosk terminal which was recently removed, and I was told that the same function is available at the cash register, which is consistent with what someone else has already mentioned here, and what I have read on Reddit. Maybe I’ll try it next month to use my store-only tech recycling reward.

Ally was 3.00%, soon 3.30%

@my4mainecoons said in $250 Visa EGC for $237.50ac + $5.95 activation ($6.50 mm) at Gift Cards .com PLUS cashback at CB sites:

I’d use Amex Blue for 3% for online purchases

Depending on how it’s coded, 3% may not work. I have a “real” online purchase classified as “business services”.

SoFi savings: 3.25%

@phat200 said in Staples.com Online Savings Codes. See last posts for most current codes.:

And how long is that credit good for?

About 6 weeks after it’s issued, just like the monthly rewards.

Chipotle 1 : US 0

I see $13.99 - $9 pickup discount = $4.99.

It gets you in the store to sell you more stuff.

@my4mainecoons said in Just4u Saturday Sampler Signature Select 16oz Dry Roasted Peanuts cip by 11/13:

Does the plain dry roasted have salt?

Yes, that’s the “regular” with highest salt content. The “dry roasted unsalted” is now free as well.

Does anyone see this?

TopCashback Gift Cards
Estimated Payable 18 Weeks

Someone on DOC reported seeing 26 weeks for some merchants.

New rewards are available now.

Marcus: 3.00%

when would that be … ink recycling reward to show up?

Something like 2nd Thursday of the month?

yes, 11/10

@mmyk said in STAPLES Tech Take Back - receive $5 rewards when you recycle or shred in store 1x per month Starts 9/18:

I brought in an item to recycle early Oct. I saw that reflected in my account but never got any $5 reward though… Is the reward supposed to show up same month or the next month?

next month, just like cartridge recycling

Hmmm. They stopped the freebies program and came back with this. Were these free items advertised somewhere, or did someone just find the coupons?

SoFi Savings going up to 3.00% on 11/3. Checking stays at 2.50%.

Barclays: 2.40%

A couple of people on SD reported that simply recycling the ink/toner cartridges qualified for the additional $5 reward.
