@briarycliffs I have B&N nearby (too many GCs already from elsewhere), used to have The Container Store (not worth the price), and more Redbox credit than I can shake a stick at. Only real option for me this month is UW donation, and I already cover that elsewhere. So I’m not going out of my way to enter this month, either. I think I’ve participated maybe 3-4 times this year - just not worth the hassle for the questionable rewards they have available.
Rewards for October are:
As of this moment, the $5 Target eGC is back in stock!
I have three accounts - one for each adult in the house. One of the accounts didn’t get the offer for 3 tokens for one receipt, probably because I’ve used it to login and check rewards the past couple of months. So I’m all set with that one - ready to get a Target eGC if and when they come back in stock. It was in stock when I submitted the receipt, but not two days later.
The other two accounts are a different story. Both had the 3-for-1 receipt offer. Both uploaded a receipt. Both failed to give 3 tokens two days later after the receipt was processed. Errrr.
I emailed CS for one of them. Still waiting to hear back - high call volume the auto-response email says - best they can offer is ASAP. Wonder why - maybe because your site is less than functional and your desired rewards go out of stock within days of the start of the month?
Anyway, while I’m waiting for CS to respond to the email, I try Chat, which finally shows up (no idea on hours, but it wasn’t there for the other account 5 minutes ago). Anyway, via Chat, I was in and out in 10 minutes, and the problem was resolved (at least a reward was visibly available - it could still take a bit for the displayed token number to correctly reflect 5 instead of 3).
While I had “Lexis” on the hook, I asked about the likelihood that the Target eGC would be restocked, since it “sold out” in under 10 days. All Lexis could say was that they couldn’t promise a restock, but to keep checking. So helpful… Does no one at KFR have a clue how to conduct business?
Target eGCs are all gone. Maybe if they didn’t take 2 days to handle a receipt…
And they mishandled the receipt anyway - supposed to get 3 tokens for one receipt - per the email - only got one!
I think they’re starting to get nervous about the program. In the past hour I received emails from KFR offering 3 tokens for one receipt. Emails were titled “2 bonus tokens! Going once, going twice” and “We admit it! We missed you!” I haven’t done anything with these accounts in the past few months. So far, I have not received an email for the account I sign into each month only to check what rewards they offer. The links are NOT generic, so I can’t share them.
Guess it’s time to get some Target eGCs!
Watch for an email titled “[member], You Deserve To Be Rewarded”. In it is a link to earn 25 pts as a “Rewards Treat Bonus Code”!
@mocha_jo said in Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes Master Thread:
@connman What I dislike with their new format is I can buy 5 of their products at one time and only receive one token. If I have the cashier ring them up separately and submit 5 receipts, I get 5 tokens.
No argument there. I’ve gone to looking for reasons to split the purchases up, if it isn’t too much of a hassle.
For the few months that I’ve participated in this new KFR, I’ve had similar issues, and they either resolve by themselves over the course of a few days, or in the case of receipts, if it didn’t give me credit the first time, I resubmit it and IIRC, eventually get the credit.
And @yoregano is correct, they need to get this stuff fixed. I don’t think they’ve done anything since this new, clearly cheaper (as opposed to less expensive), program was put in place, and it shows - badly.
Rewards for September are:
No Amazon eGC again.
