@mistercheap Have you emailed Russ?

PM’ed, don’t have an email for him.

I’ve been to Party City but never bought anything. I suppose the store is (now was) a product of its time. They had a really good selection of party balloons.

RIP

Best deal: Ghirardelli white chocolate chips for very little out of pocket after stacking coupons.

I went there today because it’s the last day and I had a $10 coupon from an email. Bought a party-size peanut butter M&M’s (34 oz.) for the regular price of $12.98 (gadzooks!) minus the $10 coupon = $2.98

RIP

You know those old CRT square box televisions? If you filed a claim in 2015, nearly 10 years ago, payments should be incoming (provided you didn’t do something silly like change your email for the last decade.)

This class action was only valid in certain states: apply only to consumers who purchased CRT Products in AZ, D.C., CA, FL, HI, IA, KS, ME, MI, MN, MS, NE, NV, NM, NY, NC, ND, SD, TN, VT, WV, and WI

$7.44 for me. MrV trumped me.

In for $15 at Walmart. TYSM

This is the first time this has ever happened. I am getting older and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I was typing the address I wanted to send my digital gift card to, but it was off by one letter. On the iPhone keyboard I typed an “r” instead of an “e”. Believe it or not, I even did that on the field where they wanted me to type the e-mail again to verify it. Luckily it looks like the misspelled e-mail was not taken by anyone and when I did a test e-mail it was returned electronically by the postmaster.

I sent a message to Customer Service at TopCashback and explained the situation. We’ll see what comes of it. I’m still waiting to hear back from them a day later. Worst case scenario I’m out $12.50, but I’ve learned a big lesson that the email address is very important to double check and even worthy of me putting on my glasses.

EDIT: I just heard back from TopCashback.com and they said my purchase is tracking with them just fine, as I already knew. The rep sent me a link to contact directly the help desk of the retailer who actually sold me the digital gift card to see what they could do.

Use the autofill feature on iPhone by adding yourself as a contact.

@sonofzeus said in Kroger-Albertson's merger halted:

@mrvietnam The employees that were likely to be unemployed after this marriage are also thrilled that it’s a no-go. Now K and A can focus on fixing their crappy phone apps.

What’s wrong with their apps? I haven’t had a problem with either Albertson’s or Ralph’s (Kroger)

@briarycliffs Thanks briary, an email confirming my receipt came a few weeks after submission. It said there was large demand but I would still get the Peanuts holiday tin within 10 weeks of the promotion’s end.

I would complete this offer sooner rather than later, seems like there was good demand for the tin.

@briarycliffs said in Official Disney Movie Insider Master Thread:

$50 egift card available now for 6500 points if anyone hasn’t cashed out yet.

I finally ran into this because of the lack of appealing offers (to me) or video watching for pennies offers.

Checkout51 will send you a heads up email and you have 30 days to redeem a new offer or watch your balance evaporate.

They closed 49 locations a couple of days ago. 2 locations nearby closed: Long Beach, CA and Cerritos, CA

Bummer, I still have enough points for a free meal and a free appetizer/dessert. Hopefully I get the chance to use it.

Thanks for the heads up @Marvomatic

Play daily until 10/31. There are quite a lot of free food and drink prizes with no purchase necessary to redeem them. You have to use the Carl’s Jr. app and play the game (press and hold on the car to slide left and right) although the app just launches a webpage.

Note: The rewards don’t show up automatically in the app, you have to redeem the promo code that you get in the winning confirmation email.

Got a BOGO Whopper. That’s not bad, I’ll probably redeem it.

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

I got nothing but 50 crowns or less on a spin, except for 100 crowns once. Today I spun the wheel while inside the Burger King with location access allowed for the Burger King app. The result? 750 crowns.

@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.

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.

Not only that, there are multiple Fetch and Ibotta offers that easily get you another $6-10 in value on $40 spend. For instance, I have a $2 on 3 GM cereals, that are often on sale for under $2 a box, $1/1 GM Nutrition bars multi pack (4ct+) limit 5. Ongoing FETCH offers for the GM Cereals, etc.

So very easy to pick up close to another $10 on $40 spend netting $20 back. Not to mention, its so easy to find GM products on discarded receipts, so if you luck out and find $10-20 in receipts you get a great head start to the $40. It’s a good deal, and I actually prefer it to paying $40 at once for the $20 Nestle on one receipt.

I’ve had the Progresso soup offer on ibotta come back within less than a week after using it at the store. Same with Fetch, a different Progresso soup offer appeared after I redeemed 2 out of 3 redemptions.

General Mills is pretty much Fetch Rewards coupon partner, although they do spread their bets between ibotta and Fetch sometimes.

I do not know the muffin man.

@MISTERCHEAP @MrVietnam

This showed up today in the Burger King app. Play daily through 9/22, you can win up to 750 crowns per day (I got 20 crowns today.)

@MrVietnam Did you get a confirmation email from AMEX Offers? Panda Express gift cards bought online usually go through Cashstar, not through Panda Express directly.

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

I guess that’s all of them: Sony Rewards, Universal All-Access Rewards, Disney Movie Insiders.

Disney gave out the most merchandise and tangible items. Bunch of corporate penny pinchers… can’t give loyal customers a free tote bag because that would require an employee to build a website and an employee for customer service on the website.

A Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Virginia tied to a deadly food poisoning outbreak repeatedly violated federal regulations, including instances of mold, insects, liquid dripping from ceilings, and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment, newly released records show.

Government inspectors logged 69 instances of “noncompliance” with federal rules in the past year, including several in recent weeks, according to documents released through federal Freedom of Information Act requests.

Between Aug. 1, 2023, and Aug. 2, 2024, inspectors found “heavy discolored meat buildup” and “meat overspray on walls and large pieces of meat on the floor.” They also documented flies “going in and out” of pickle vats and “black patches of mold” on a ceiling. One inspector detailed blood puddled on the floor and “a rancid smell in the cooler.” Plant staff were repeatedly notified that they had failed to meet requirements, the documents showed.

@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.

@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.
