Is TooCashBack related to TopCashBack?

Payout received by paypal. Crisis averted.

How much did you get?

$32.xx same as everyone else.

Yes, you need to watch the video for the free entry link each time. You get there by going to the game, clicking menu, then rules, then alternate entry. Watch the video, click the pull down menu and select transactions, and then pass the Google Captcha.

I didn’t link to the alternate method of entry because Safeway/Albertson’s each have a lot of grocery store brands, and each has a different website.

@mrvietnam said in Albertson's/Safeway Flavor Adventure instant win (smartphone app, possibly website too):

I guess lesson learned is that when Albertsons starts a new online game, it is important to play the first night it is released if you want to win any high value prizes.

Not quite true. The instant wins are based on random seeding times, so don’t slam 10 tabs and try to enter all at one time in a search for efficiency. Also play when others aren’t (west coast after 11 PM)

There were fewer people playing the first night, so the prizes went to the people playing.

Fourth row of this week’s Swago seems attainable for most, if you can complete your 2 daily to do list goals, a desktop survey, and redeem for a gift card. 100 SB for the fourth row.

Seems Amazon pushed this out a few days ago, and not just for select items. The free shipping requirement is $35 now.

Use code 01TACOTUESDAY and have a free Doritos® Locos Tacos—it’s on us. 8‍/15 only.

Finally, a free offer on something I like.

Fans of class actions on phatwallet will be disheartened to find out that Kroll has been hit with a major data breach. Ironically, they lost their data from a T-Mobile SIM swap/hijack from a phishing email sent to one of Kroll’s employees.

Kroll is stating that only data from its bankruptcy division that is handling the major crypto companies (FTX, BlockFi) bankruptcy proceedings are currently affected.

But as we on phatwallet know, it’s only a matter of time before the phishing emails target their class action business, likely due to the fact that a lot of class actions are “take action, claim your money on paypal or zelle or wherever” emails.

Be on the lookout for possible spear-phishing emails impersonating Kroll.

@connman said in Fetch Rewards point devaluation.:

As much as I dislike the “devaluation”, I’ve been pretty happy with the Daily Rewards. I actually had a 10,000 point bonus a couple months ago, though the norm is 5’s and 10’s with larger amounts less frequently. The hardest thing I run into is have enough receipts to use daily - I’ve even picked up a few discarded receipts on occasion to keep as close to daily as possible.

10,000 points on the bonus spin is massive. I think I’ve hit 1,000 points twice, very fair to me.

The daily bonus spin is great for me, I don’t mind saving up over a long period of time and the bonus outpaces the plain 25 points I used to get. I have a pile of receipts that I try to enter every day before the 14 day limit.

All of you jabronis need to buy a color laser printer. My starter set of color toner that came with the printer lasted 11 years. Granted, I don’t print as much as y’all do.

Huh? These cartridges were purchased just for recycling – nothing to do with printing.

Well alrighty then.

Otherwise known as 16.67% cashback on a $15 gift card day.

When did TopCashBack put minimums on the gift card cashouts? Seems like $5 or so for most, but it goes up to a $25 minimum.

Amazon, AMEX Virtual Reward Card, and Paypal or ACH is still minimum-free.

$2 Dave’s Double too.

Don’t have the double this go round, sure about that @ctujackbauer ?

Quite sure, it is there for me. Possibly because I redeemed both offers last week?

I always seem to be the bearer of bad news…

For now, the following stores do not have minimum cash out amounts at TopCashBack: Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and American Eagle Outfitters

American Express Virtual Reward Cards, Paypal and ACH also do not have minimums.

All other stores now have varying minimums of $1 to $25 when cashing out. A lot of the stores are at a $5 minimum. Target is a $1 minimum.

2nd Quarter 2024 Amazon.com, Hotels, Restaurants

Might as well call it the Chase Amazon 5% back card.

@mistercheap said in $15 Fanatics GC wyb 3 Cheez It's, Pringles, or Townhouse exp 5/31/24:

Have to say, Fanatics is very over priced. they carry good stuff, but between their shipping charges and high prices, a $15 GC still leaves me spending way too much OOP on line.

Also check the official rules, you may only be able to redeem ONE per order.

This offer is a true e-gift card with a PIN. Coupon codes are only one per order, but this is a gift card.

@mistercheap
You beat me to the new topic by about a minute. shakes fist, I’ll get you next time, Mister Cheap

@mtnagel Thanks, I saw it on slickdeals but they probably copied it from here on phatwallet or somewhere within the slickdeals drugstore/grocery deals forum.

I had an old receipt that was within the qualifying period.

They expired my CVS bonus early. I suppose I can resort to taking screenshots of this bonus after completing the first transaction. I waited more than 24 hours, only to see my bonus go poof

Ever since ibotta started trading as a public corporation this year, I’ve had more problems with bonuses disappearing and customer service issues for rebates that I earned than I’ve had in ibotta’s first 8 years.

@my4mainecoons said in UPDATED 7/23 Big Lots to close 149 stores, list in OP:

hopefully @MrVietnam won’t be stuck with a bunch of gc’s.
The Big Lots near me recently reopened after we got flooded last summer. I have to assume it was worth the cost to restore it although the store has never seemed busy and I never find anything that can’t be bought for less elsewhere.

The most MrVietnam will be out is a $15 gift card that I only paid about $12 for. There were only 3 Big Lots stores within 10 miles of my house when I left. Hopefully at least one will remain in business.

Buena Park is a good store, it’s just in a somewhat-questionably sketchy area. Use up that gift card

@my4mainecoons said in PANERA Sip Club 3 mo. Free for Returning Members:

Cheaper menu items, more sugary items and this offer-- doesn’t sound like they’re doing well.

Private company looking to go public in 2024 or 2025.

You have to be profitable for a year to do that. The best way is to discount expensive stuff via coupons, it decreases margins but gooses up sales revenue quarter after quarter for a year. The problem is that if you discount long enough, you’ll think you’re shopping at Kohl’s and not buying a sandwich and soup combo.

@pakle said in P&G Good As Gold Rebate $15 WYS $50 or $5 WYS $20 (different rebate) (limit 2) ends 9/8/24:

So if I did the Costco “get more save more” P&G offer (shop card rewards), I assume I can’t do this one with the same receipt…

You can, and you should.

So long as you bought $50 worth of qualifying (slimmer selection this rebate) P&G brands after discounts/coupons you can submit it and send it in.

@my4mainecoons said in P&G Good As Gold Rebate $15 WYS $50 or $5 WYS $20 (different rebate) (limit 2) ends 9/8/24:

@pakle One P&G rebate. Your other discount is from Costco. The good thing about it is that it doesn’t appear as a discount on your receipt. Your total is $50+ on the receipt even though your net was $35. Same with Amazon credit. IDK if Costco purchases are eligible for PGGE rewards but if so then you can submit for those in addition to the rebate; rewards points aren’t a rebate.

The Costco one is a Shop Card but seems sponsored by PG as well:
https://getpgoffer.com/

That’s why it’s not clear to me…

One is a Costco rebate. The other is a rebate directly through P&G. Unless something changed, they’re different rebates and have gone through in the past, including this particular sale last year at Costco.

As a heads up, rewards are selling out fast the past 2 days. I suggest spending your points now rather than later.

I do not know the muffin man.

@my4mainecoons said in General Mills Rebate Spend $40 get $10 9/1/24 - 10/31/24:

For anyone else wondering, the Motts and Nature Valley FAR offers expired 8-31-24.

I hope this isn’t a trend towards lower % back. 25% isn’t much. Kellogg’s was $10/$25 and Nestle $20/$40. The previous GM offer % was higher.

Time to start checking the SCO trash can again.

Yea but Kellogg’s and Nestle needed a single transaction. This General Mills offer you can use multiple receipts, which makes it easier to shop low quantity limit sales.

@kimi said in DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN? $1 for any muffin at DUNKIN with activated APP OFFER, no other purchase req'd ends 9/16:

@yoregano I was going to use my mobile app to order the muffin today (to get the bonus pts), but muffins aren’t on my app menu. Muffins are normally on my app menu so I think they intentionally removed it. (Since I was going to DD anyway, I purchased the muffin in-store. I ordered something else to get the bonus pts.)

Muffins are in the Donuts, Bagels & Bakery section of the app.

@MISTERCHEAP probably tried to add swiss cheese, onion rings, xtra tom & xtra lettuce on his mozzarella fries today.

Variety Wholesalers thought 200 to 400 store and a few distribution centers were worth something. They will be the new owners and keeping the Big Lots name for those stores. They’re even retaining a lot of those stores’ employees.

@mistercheap said in Free Shoprunner membership to be removed from AMEX March 31, 2025:

Actually had to laugh at the post. Shoprunner? didn’t know they still existed or that anyone used them. Had it once like 12 years ago, but they got crappier and crappier with linked merchants and what they provided.

Like posting “AOL Dial-up to be removed from Amex on 3/31/25”

memba when shoprunner used to work with newegg? I memba.

Today only, set an alarm.

It should be in hot deals and grocery and drugstore, so I will copy pasta into the other subforum.
