This tracked properly on 1/27, now they updated it as ‘declined’, the 20c CB AND the $2.50 bonus.

Same with my purchase on 1/26: “Giftcards.com Cashback has been declined by the retailer” This is the first transaction I have seen which went from pending to declined. Don’t know who is at fault.

Finally got the cashback.

The numbers should be: $40 x 7 = $280 rewards for $50 ink. Premier status is free with the Staples More account.

I already stopped participating in the recycling program a few months ago. Got tired of looking for things to buy every month just to use up the rewards.

Barclays: 0.90%

Marcus: Savings 0.85%, NPCD 0.90%

Ally up to 0.75%, and its NPCD is up to 0.85%.

@mrvietnam said in Sprouts Farmers Market: 5 Free Full-Size Products on the 1st of Every Month:

Anyone know exactly when they are released on the first of each month? Is it 12:01 am EST?

12noon Eastern, 9am Pacific

@mrvietnam said in Just4U Saturday Sampler clip by 5/16, use by 5/17: Two Freebies - O Organic Snacking Nuts and Planet Oat Non Dairy Ice Cream (cof'd Acme):

I did get the fake ice cream on one of my four accounts

That would be a random Friday freebie, not the Saturday Sampler.

In NorCal, we have the nuts only.

Staples $10 Off $30 B&M, Code 35284, exp 5/28/22
Normal Restrictions

That’s the same code with previous exp date of 4/30, so 5/28 is probably not the real exp date, either.

@yoregano said in US Treasury Series I Savings Bonds Inflation Rate Earnings (May - October '22) 9.62% Interest:

Glad I waited since the interest rate has increased.

I don’t think “glad” is the correct description. If you purchased in April, you would have 6 months of 7.x% and 6 months of 9.x%. Now, you don’t know what happens after 6 months of 9.x%.

@mrvietnam said in Sprouts Farmers Market: 5 Free Full-Size Products on the 1st of Every Month:

There were 3 freebies in both of my accounts.

Should have 5 available each month, but you may need to clip them quickly after they are released.

worked, online one day after exp

I don’t believe that’s related to any grace period. These coupons do not expire until the “coupon series” (first 5 digits) has expired.

Oil separation is natural. They have to add other types of oil to make them “no stir”. Check the ingredients.

No luck in my area.

what’s the best way to handle the seperation of oil/butter?

@kimi said in Just4U Saturday Sampler (Two Items) Open Nature Nut Butter ($8 value), 16oz can of AHA sparking water clip by 4/10, use by 4/11 (cof'd Acme):

At the store I compared the ingredients of both versions (no stir vs oil on top) and I’m pretty sure both versions contained palm oil.

From online data:
ON Almond Butter Creamy/Crunchy: Dry Roasted Almonds and Sea Salt
ON Almond Butter Creamy No Stir: Dry Roasted Almonds, Palm Oil, Cane Sugar, and Sea Salt
ON Cashew Butter Creamy: Dry Roasted Cashews, Expeller Pressed High Oleic Sunflower Oil

Oil separation is natural. They have to add other types of oil to make them “no stir”. Check the ingredients.

No luck in my area.

$2 bonus with any Walmart offer, at least for my account. I linked it, redeemed the offer, and unlinked it.

Exclusions are mostly meaningless. They all say that technology is excluded, but they still work on a lot of tech items.

BTW, someone on SD posted that the 35284 coupon may not expire until 7/2/2022.

@george2001 said in $10 off $20 at Amazon when you ship item to Amazon Locker near you (Targeted):

“For the next 24 hours, you have FREE Shipping on all Amazon-shipped items. No minimum order. Why? We just want to thank you for shopping with us.”

That has been around for a while. Works for the same address only, so shipping can be potentially combined.

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

The 0.65% no penalty CD doesn’t make any sense to me with about 10 liquid account at or above 0.65%, and rising,

I did open that NPCD because that’s the highest liquid rate among the banks I already have. Don’t really want to open accounts with new banks at this time.

@mmyk said in $10 off $20 at Amazon when you ship item to Amazon Locker near you (Targeted):

Now hope I can open the locker when I get there.

I actually had an item stuck in the locker for about a week. After multiple chats and phone calls, they re-shipped the item, while the stuck item stayed in the broken locker for another 1-2 weeks.

Marcus 13-month no-penalty CD 0.65%

still nothing here

If someone sees “no activation fee” g.c. at Staples could you please post here?

in next week’s ad

@my4mainecoons said in Are you getting a % back from iBotta on your instore grocery purchases?:

It’s back!!!

I don’t see it in my account (Safeway).

$25 off $130 online: 87246. Expires today 3/17. Advertised on staples.com.

Not on my card, so this is YMMV. Gift card works fine.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples.com Online Savings Codes. See last posts for most current codes.:

The only Brother AIO available online is shown twice, lol. Same model. It has a phone handset on it.

Not that one, which probably nobody wants.

HL-L2390DW and HL-L2395DW (both refurbished, I think) were available earlier today. I was considering the HL-L2395DW.

Update: Right now, new HL-L2390DW is available for $170.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples.com Online Savings Codes. See last posts for most current codes.:

I need a printer badly but there aren’t any available.

I saw two <$200 Brother laser AIOs in stock earlier today, and 1 or 2 last week. I was thinking of getting one, but probably not. These are hot items right now, like webcams about 1-2 years ago.

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

In today’s email, I got a 16-digit code for “$25 off your online order of $150 or more”.
Ends 03/18/2022.

Same here, which is rare. If yours is also 34384*, that’s the same as last week’s batch, so the real expiration date is probably longer.

From DOC today: “But I ended up finding several recent posts confirmed by multiple people that tracked cash back from Giftcards.com to sites like Rakuten and airline portals are being reversed.”

I presume that once can stack a $10/$30 and a $10/$20 for $20/$50.

Stacking did not work on a $60 B&M purchase

Have you tried stacking with an online coupon?

Bought something yesterday, and there was no $10/$20 coupon on the receipt.

waiting for the BS “you used another marketing channel” email.

That wouldn’t work because it’s already in the TCB system.

I have a $10 giftcards.com order that was pending for a month and then “declined by retailer”. Don’t know who is at fault. Filed a ticket.

@penguin110 said in Changes to Staples Plus Rewards Accounts:

Delivery is now free with no minimum

Well, that’s nothing new. The real change is that free no-minimum shipping is no longer available for non-Plus/Elite accounts.

@kimi said in 20% off at Amazon (up to $40) when you use Amex points YMMV (exp 5/1/22):

ETA: I have a hard time finding items sold by Amazon to take advantage of these ‘offers’.

gift card?

When I activated the offer about a week ago ($10 off $100), I tested it to make sure it worked, without actually using it. Now it no longer works (reward points applied). Oh, well.

There is a $1 J4U coupon you can clip, for $1 overage.

Got $10 off $20 when I recycled yesterday.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples.com Online Savings Codes. See last posts for most current codes.:

No change in ink recycling?

no change

"We’re updating our rewards program.

These changes will take effect March 2, 2022, after business hours:

Delivery will be free with an order of $35 or more*

*Premier members receive free delivery, with $35 minimum for orders purchased on staples.com or by phone at 1-800-333-3330."

I got $0.25 Ibotta rebate for the Munk bar.

I just clipped Wicked, Rowdy, and Munk. Still don’t know how this clipping works because these coupons were not there before, an hour after it started.

Did anyone get anything? I could not even get into the app/website.

hummingbird: bluemercury

Bought $10 GC, and the bonus is already pending. Great for shopping $9.xx items, which would not work with the bonus without a filler.

Got Freschetta at Safeway (NorCal) for $5 - $1 frozen. Red Baron is $3.99 with coupon - $1 frozen.

Hmmm. I just bought something from eBay a couple of days ago because I thought TCB would not run the promotion this month.
