I scooped @MISTERCHEAP by a day! Were you on vacation or something?

Breaking news on the Wall Street Journal WSJ article link

The stores that weren’t sold to Walgreens are being bought out. Can’t say I’m surprised - Rite Aid was probably too small to survive on its own.

I guess Albertson’s wanted a bigger part of the retail drugstore market? As always, it will take a while for things to shake out before we know what this will do to coupons/wellness bonus cash/leftover plenti points.

The rogo’s that were sent by email 2/18 with codes that expire 2/19 are working for a free blu-ray or dvd, just like the days of old.

ummm no LOL

For the record, when redeeming the TREAT18 fandangonow coupon, it shows up as “treat your self” in the promo code window when checking out. That’s why I posted that.

@dangeruss said in Abandon Ship, Time to cash in those Plenti Points, Macys is out 3/15/18:

I have over $1k in plenti points and I’m going to be so screwed when they close down. I’ve only been using it for gas, so when exxon goes, I’m screwed.

Any way to churn the points into cash before everything crashes and burns?

Have you considered buying furniture at Macy’s? It isn’t bad quality, and there’s no way you can spend $1k on gas or at Chili’s.

@wmnetid

YMMV on number of codes required, and YMMV on getting the offer (it is targeted, log into the offers page to find out).

Mine was 5 codes.

If it prevents people from renting 5 dvds with a free code, then immediately returning them or never picking them up, just to get the play pass points - then I’m all for it.

@mrvietnam said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

I wish they would have these 20 free entries per day-sty[e sweepstakes more often than just Christmastime.

They ran a contest for March Madness with 20 AMOE entries, and hopefully will this year. Not as many prizes as holiday instant win, but there’s usually something if your entry makes it to the final four.

@yoregano said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

Perhaps I shouldn’t complain, it’s multiple free entries per day, but the #@*% site is making me click SEVERAL screens of verification boxes on EVERY entry today. I I didn’t win anything with three accounts for the holiday contest. Very tedious and annoying. Wonder what’s going on, it wasn’t like this until today.

Thankfully, I did get two $5 WM cards for the AMOE sip-n-scan contest today.

Try logging into Chrome and your Gmail account, and keep the associated cookies for it. It doesn’t get rid of all the captchas, but most of them are the one-click i’m not a robot things.

Also you can sip & scan the holiday instant win instead of using AMOE.

Looks like today’s Freecash game on the xtra tab (or winit app) for Sears is giving $5 freecash to everyone. I lost the sweeps but got the $5 freecash immediately.

@specialsguy said in Free $5 in SYW Points:

I must be losing my mind. I got all the way to XTRA and that was it. Where is the “xtra” tab located?
Always good to be very detailed because some of us are beginners and many assume we know what
all the steps are.

click the xtra section, see the red arrows in first pic

link

then you should see the contest in the second pic

Although it looks like only Thursday’s freecash offers are loading for people, at least for now. But you can still click the offer for to spin for SYW points.

Sometimes the freecash loads to your SYW account within a few minutes (go to surprise points / free cash offers: link here if the link doesn’t work, click your name in the near-upper right and look at freecash offers)

Sometimes the freecash offers don’t load to your SYW, or they don’t happen for everyone, or they say you didn’t win but a $5 freecash loads to your SYW account anyway.

@lawomaniam1 said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

@ctujackbauer what is AMOE? How does it work etc…k, googled AMOE… I get it now, is their a link to the AMOE for this game?

go to the offers page (or click rewards in the menu in the upper right after logging in)
click “see rules for free method of entry & all details” on that walmart gift card section of the offers page —only the rules word has an underlined text that is a clickable link.
in the official rules, go to section 5 b) free online alternate method of entry
click the “CLICK HERE” portion of the text in that section

it will trigger a free AMOE entry.

@specialsguy said in Free $5 in SYW Points:

What does that mean go to shopyourway then “xtra”? Is this automatic or do we have to play a spin game? Lets be clear please

login to shopyourway, click earn (top bar), click earn with sweeps, then click the xtra tab.

the spin is just for additional points. the $5 should show up in your surprise points/freecash page with a $5 to spend on $.01 minimum.

If you missed yesterday’s free cash from Kmart, there’s another $5 Kmart SYW points freecash offer today.

Go to shopyourway then xtra and it should be there.

Also, these freecash offers are usually meant for stuff in the store, there’s so many exclusions for online purchases and purchases on shopyourway/sears with shipping through kmart.com that the near $5 items are pretty much out of stock for good.

But I used last week’s just fine today on a t-shirt for zero out of pocket.

@meed18 said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

I don’t get the sip and scan stuff. How do they stop people from going into a 7-11 and scanning the bottle without paying for the drink?

They can’t stop that. They also can’t stop a person buying one product, and scanning that same product over and over.

The Walmart contest for now only works with a sip & scan the first time, every day I after I had to enter using the AMOE.

(use the AMOE, it’s worth it, I won one today)

@mistercheap said in $5 Target EGC for 5 Coke Codes Appears to be on ALL accounts now, also possible $20 FTD GC ex 12/28:

@ctujackbauer @wmnetid this target offer first popped up on deal boards about 2 weeks ago and I definitely didn’t have it. Yesterday it did suddenly appear on 2 accounts and I wasn’t an ‘insider’ to my knowledge. the FTD offer also was a new addition to my offerings as of yesterday’s log in.

https://us.coca-cola.com/legal/56021/

It still says Insider’s Offer in the title of the official rules. But it doesn’t restrict the offer to people who are MCR Insiders.

Only reason I mentioned it is that you have to be logged in to see the offer - it doesn’t show up on the offers page without logging in (for me at least).

@wmnetid said in $5 Target EGC for 5 Coke Codes Appears to be on ALL accounts now, also possible $20 FTD GC ex 12/28:

Am I blind, or am I missing something? I don’t see this… or is the supply already depleted?

I only see the Shutterfly wall calendar, chance to win a gift card, magazine subscription, and AMC popcorn. I have already maxed out the Amazon gift card.

The prior Target deal was for MCR/Offers insiders, looks like they didn’t change it according to the rules.

But it doesn’t show up at all on the offers page without logging in, so try logging in first.

@mrvietnam I meant for people with large Plenti balances.

I foresee many trips to Macy’s, Chili’s, and ExxonMobil in the near future for many of our forum members.

Enter 5 coca-cola product codes for a $5 Target egc. There’s a link at the bottom of the page after entering the 5 codes, but you should also immediately receive an email to a cashstar page too.

The e-gc can be printed out for use in-store.

Offer ends 12/28.

Also, on this one, if you don’t claim the reward within 5 days of earning it (by entering the 5 codes), it might not work according to the deal’s terms and conditions.

Was this a short lived promo? I click the link and it goes to Coke, but other stuff and I can’t find a link for the target card.

Yea that one only lasted one day. Fortune rewards the quick.

There’s no way to expire an individual post in this thread.

Promo Code: HAPPY15DVD

Ends 11/27 11:59pm CT.

Not as good as a $1.50 off, but slightly better than a $1.25 off. Universal code good for today.

Check your store on JCPenney’s store locator because the hours are earlier for this Saturday 11/25. Mine is open at 8 AM, but your store hours may vary.

$10 off $10 is the minimum coupon you get, with possibly more (doesn’t specify $100 off $100 or $500 off $500 this time, it just says or more).

You know the deal, get to the store a little early, check out with a mass of people in front of three working cash registers.

This deal is different than the Thanksgiving Day/Early Black Friday deal.

Same.

We fear change!

Holiday and Joy both worked for me.
Can you send the link where the offer appeared or the link where you learned about it, please?

For people with supported cell carriers (no google voice)

text HOLIDAY to 2653
you’ll receive a link to sign in
enter 5 coca-cola product cap codes (powerade/12-packs don’t qualify)
receive $5 amazon gc by email 8-10 weeks after promotion end date of 1/2/18

then text JOY to 2653 and repeat for another $5

How did you learn about these offers?
Is there a link with details about the offers?

You can read more in the official rules. I forgot to mention, I didn’t know this at the time I entered the “contest” (considering everyone wins something) but there’s a $1,000 prize. The contest is sponsored by Aramark.

link to official rules (pdf)

Honestly, I thought everyone saw this at slickdeals. I posted it here because the JOY portion for the extra $5 was hidden in the middle of that megathread, so I figured my good people at phatwallet would benefit.

late edit: looks like MisterCheap beat me to the holiday portion by 3 days and posted here in hot deals, but added the info to the joy portion that I posted (which I just stole from other slickdeals and blu-ray forums).

@ctujackbauer said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

Apparently there’s a mobile device/phone scan with an AMOE entry?

No, I don’t think so. You can use a smartphone to scan in codes, but that is just as opposed to typing them in. Code entry yes; AMOE, no.

I think people on the other forums are just scanning the sip and scan symbol and using the same 1 coke product over and over.

Which is obv super shady.

2017 holiday instant wins are up now, with a different url than the coca cola offers page (it’s also usually at the top of the coca-cola offers page):

https://us.coca-cola.com/holiday/

Apparently there’s a mobile device/phone scan with an AMOE entry? I don’t have a coke product to try it out. It’s a way to save on entering codes (saving those for amazon gcs and amc coupons and whatnot). I also think that may be a illegal/against T&C’s way of getting around the entry requirement (YMMV ethically).

20 entry a day limit. Can enter today if you have caps/codes.

Can obtain 20 AMOE codes per day via:
Online AMOE starts December 16 and ends December 29.
Mail-in AMOE started October 20 and ends December 15.
