@yoregano said in Burger King app Whopper Chef game, daily play through 9/22, win up to 750 crowns:

I got 250 twice, 100, 50 thrice, a couple 20 and 30, and 10 the most, of course, but overall, a nice collection of free points. I think BK has the best and easiest rewards of all the fast food joints. I currently have over 6000 crowns in my balance.

I think I got 20 points each time I played.

I think I still have about $12 left on a gift card, which I got a deal on. My go to is to wait for a $20 off $40 coupon (which they do all the time) and get a large eggplant parm for $23 to go. We get 6 portions out of it, so ~$4 each. Eggplant parm is one of those meals I’ll pay for someone else to make since it’s a pain to make it well and making fried foods at home is annoying.

Ugh this was how I’ve been getting rid of the last amounts on my prepaid gift cards, by loading them to my balance. It was a great way to zero them out, whatever small amount that was left.
Thanks for the heads up.

I made a qualifying purchase. The Fanatics code comes in your order pickup confirmation email. You click on the part in the email that says “check if my order qualifies” in the big banner.

It looks like this promotion will go through 6/30/2024 or until supplies last.

There’s some conflicting information in the code terms and conditions:

There’s big capitalized type saying the alphanumeric code MUST BE REDEEMED by 7/30/2024 (which sounds right for a Fanatics promo code.)

There’s also type at the bottom that says each code expires 12/31/2024 (which doesn’t sound right.)

Thanks all! Approval email came today. So about 6 days, not too bad.

I really had no idea the Costco shop card promo could be combined with the PG. Thought it was a dumb question but so glad I asked!

Looks like a good movie. Unfortunately, it says all the tickets were given away. Thanks anyway OP!

Bankrupt:

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/20/red-lobster-bankruptcy.html

they have had that for awhile, at least when i tried to cashout, mine had a min.

Be sure to do this today, I think it’s a one-day deal for “National Trivia Day.”

As an BK aside, I noticed yesterday’s “Whopper Wednesday” deal was $3.49, up from the long-running $3. Happy New Year! 🎉

Thanks @ctujackbauer got it, expires 12/19

@mmyk said in Amazon No Longer Allows Paying For Third-Party Gift cards With Amazon Gift card Balance:

How about paying for a GC with new AMZ GC - not funds already in AMZ balance??

It doesn’t show up as a payment method on checkout. So no.

@my4mainecoons said in Consumer warning: Data breach at Kroll, class action and bankruptcy administrator:

who/what is Kroll?

class action and bankruptcy administrator company. so their data includes paypal/venmo type info/accounts which is what @ctujackbauer is warning about, that the hackers could try to scam people who have received payouts from Kroll in the past when they processed class action payment awards.

@mrvietnam said in El Torito/Chevy's/Xperience Restaurant Group, get a $50 bonus e-card WYB a $100 e-gift card, ends 9/4/2023:

If I buy a gift card for one chain can it be used at the other chains in the Xperience family of restaurants?

MrV, it’s in the original post (the T&C’s I posted, and on the offer page before you buy the gift card)

Yes.

Valid at all Xperience Restaurant Group locations except Chevys Fresh Mex locations in Bloomington, MN, Sioux Falls, SD, Clifton, NJ, Linden, NJ, Annapolis, MD, Hanover, MD, and St. Louis, MO, or Rio Mambo and The Rim locations.

Was able to get a bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai & Blueberry Flavors which was exactly $5.99

Last freebie today: 04TACOTUESDAY
Next week: On 9‍/12, we’re teaming up with DoorDash to put it on our tab! We’ll help cover part of your taco order from any participating Mexican restaurant. Remember, when tacos win, we all win. Live Más.

@my4mainecoons Thanks for the info! I’ll be shopping at some point this week so it will hopefully work. And maybe they’ll fix my Freshpass by then.

@sonofzeus said in Bed Bath & Beyond files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (gift card warning):

Big Lots said Thursday that it’s “assisting shoppers nationwide” by accepting expired Bed Bath & Beyond coupons until May 7. Customers that bring one of the iconic blue-and-whites into one of its 1,425 stores will receive 20% off a purchase of $50 or more. The offer is only valid in stores.

Big Lots is closing stores. I wouldn’t be surprised if they follow BB&B.

@ctujackbauer Ordered mine yesterday. Looking forward to getting it.

@briarycliffs said in Starbucks star rewards devaluation.:

At least they gave some warning, unlike fetch.

Exactly, that was a truly low and classic bait/switch move on Fetch’s part.

@ctujackbauer I didn’t even realize it updated… maybe I clicked on some button blindly and allowed it. You are right that the Daily Spin is gone. It now has some stupid games that reward points per minute of playing. Have to download the games first. I got a few thousand points after mindlessly playing a few. I foresee more devaluing soon given the high # of Freebie points from the games.

I would be surprised if 200 people showed up at 5AM at my local Kohl’s. I presume that they will hand them out to the first 200 people from 5AM until they run out.

Bump, I updated the title a bit and bumped for a remind to line up before 5:00 AM for this JCPenney coupon giveaway.

Ebay wasn’t allowing me to add an AMEX card on my acct. so I added it to paypal, and after an order over $15 ,which I split with $15 on Amex and the balance on my Discover to get my 5% from paypal discover, AMEX emailed me:
“Great news! You recently used your Amex Offer at EBAY”

@jbw said in Regal Cinemas owner Cineworld preparing for bankruptcy (gift card warning):

My biggest regret was being stuck with over $700 in gift cards after souplantation closed permanently during the pandemic. Try to see as many movies at regal. AMC seems to be surviving for now thanks to stock speculators…

And I thought I had it bad with my $400 at Souplantation.

@sonofzeus

You missed the point: in America, overpaid, spoiled, and entitled executives are the “horses.” IMHO, I wouldn’t commit suicide over a company that was failing long before hiring me, especially when they were paying me so (comparatively) little. Pandemic era execs are quitting left and right. He probably could have found another, higher paying, gig in no time. I gave him the benefit of the doubt by not assuming that equines of any kind had anything to do with him jumping. He may have had other things going wrong in life that had nothing to do with his job. Don’t make baseless assumptions.

Titanium Dioxide is FDA approved for food, drugs and cosmetics. Not sure what this lawsuit is about other than the EU has banned it recently and now someone probably wants it banned here too.

@ctujackbauer said in WSJ - FDA Probing Organic Strawberries Linked to Possible Hepatitis A Outbreak:

purchased between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022,

Not to be crass, but don’t they think it’s a little late to tell people NOT to serve or eat fresh strawberries sold as far back as March 5th? Unless you froze them, these berries would have been long consumed by now, they wouldn’t stay fresh for one to two and a half months.

The FDA warning is for frozen (they suggest throwing them out).

I think it’s more of a heads up because Hepatitis A symptoms happen from 15 to 50 days out.

@ctujackbauer think you misunderstood my post. I said UNLESS you froze them, most people would have long ago consumed them. Didn’t say having froze them made them safe to eat.

Saul Goodman. I was agreeing with you - fresh strawberries would have expired, frozen strawberries the FDA is recommending to discard them.

@mrvietnam said in (YMMV) MONEYMAKER - $0.03 at Checkout51 for viewing a Line 39 Wines video (exp unk):

Thanks. Watching that video sure makes cents to me.

I see you’ve coined another joke @MrVietnam !

USPS Informed Delivery says Ms SOZ’s check arrives today at home.
When she awakens in 3 hours, she will be thrilled.
“Money for nuthin…”

@atikovi said in Every Wednesday to May 4, a Krispy Kreme dozen original glazed will cost the same as a gallon of gas.:

Gas or donuts?

Today is (was) Wednesday and it’s before May 4, are you starting to see how this deal works now?

@sonofzeus said in Fetch Rewards: 100% back on new Talenti Pairings (2 redemptions):

Home with 2 receipts and 4 Talenti. ($4 ea at Pete’s)
Fetch did not process the submissions correctly.
Submitted 2 tickets.
Looking forward to 100% back before dinner…

Did the barcode scanner work? That’s usually the quickest way to be credited after missing points.

After submitting the receipt - scroll to the bottom and click on the oval button that says “correct receipt” (something similar) and that should bring up the opportunity to search for a product or use the barcode scanner. The barcode scanner usually works every time.

For future reference, in case anyone else runs into redemption problems.

Free booze is good booze.
MM booze is better.

Finally found 4 cans on the shelf and only 4 cans on the shelf.

@vegasvegan said in FDA warning on 404 Family Dollar stores in 6 states due to rodent infestation at distribution center:

Our store that was just built a couple of years ago had a problem a few months back and was closed down for a week or more. I just went down there yesterday and they are closing again for a “remodeling”

Remodeling? a pest control company doing the remodeling no doubt.
