@daddypacman Many posters are just in it for the post count. They never come back to update posts.

Updated post
With a simple PM to me I would have updated quicker

His /her responsibility to download the rebate form every day to ensure no changes have been made? LOL. It was accurate when posted and it is MY responsibility to look for changes before I make a purchase. (And to not throw a tantrum if something does.)

@mistercheap said in $3 off $3+ purchase at EBAY (ymmv):
Thank you. Worked in two accounts, neither of which received a notice or had it on the “My eBay” page.

I just received an email indicating Walmart had rolled the price back on the 5 quart jug of 10W-30 High Mileage to $16.56.

I did this. In case you’re curious, you get a $15 egift card on the first of each month. The first one was sent immediately and does not have an expiration date.

@gatorj said in $25 off $50 to go or dine in at Macaroni Grill ($55 for $20 with Amex Offer):

Code “LOT18” worked online without issue. Selected “pay at restaurant,” arrived, purchased $30 gift card with AmEx offer and paid with that. Great deal.

Curious, what did you get/recommend there? Pizza any good? most of the better entrees are up in the $20 range so, 2 entrees and a salad or appy gets you pretty close to or at $50.

I’ve never eaten there before. I picked up the lasagna, shrimp scampi and chicken parmesean (put me just over the $50 threshold for the coupon.) Great deal for a net of slightly under $20 plus tip. I’ve only eaten the chicken parm, but I definitely recommend it. VERY large portion of chicken, well prepared and quite good. Surprisingly, I would rank it over Carrabba’s. Sorry I couldn’t provide more of an assist for menu choices.

Edit: In the interest of science, I decided to heat up the lasagna. I’m not sure I would order this again. Portion size OK, it’s pretty tall so there was actually more there than it initially appeared. It was quite hearty in terms of meat…beef and sausage. Flavor was just OK and somewhat reminiscent of some frozen lasagnas I’ve had in the past. A bit of a disappointment when compared to the chicken parm.

Edit 2: The shrimp scampi was a winner, too. 8 nice sized shrimp and flavorful sauce.

@doctordiscount said in PSA AMZ Prime Going up to $119 per year effective 5/11 If contemplating, get Prime Now at $99.:

I will not renew. Jeff Bozo can build his empire with somebody else’s money.

He can build it with mine, it’s still a good deal.

@althes said in Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote + $10 Staples GC $29.99 A/C + FS @ Staples - YMMV:

Definitely targeted.

While I originally thought the same thing, now I believe the coupon issues are a function of Staple’s buggy website, especially with Firefox. Try using either the app or go to m.staples.com (the “m” is NOT a typo.)

The thread title is a bit misleading. The opinion does not allow states to tax ALL online sales. It applies to sellers that sell more than $100,000 or have over 200 separate transactions in a given state. It will not, therefore apply to most Ebay or Amazon Marketplace sellers. Overstock, Newegg and similar entities are the ones who will be affected by this ruling.

I don’t really want anything from there right now, so I thought I would donate it to the forum.

$5. EXPIRES TODAY, 10/31/18

PLEASE post when you’ve used it.

(Mods: I realize this isn’t the right place, but since it was expiring tonight, I thought more people would see it here so it wouldn’t go to waste. Please feel free to move/delete.)

PSA: According to the text I received this starts 4:00 p.m. CENTRAL TIME.

@mrsguin said in FREE $15 Dollar General Bonus Credit With American Express Serve Card -Online Registration:

Go to your nearest Dollar General and buy a Green American Express Serve card for $2.95 and load $10 onto it.
Next, you must register it on the Serve website until 2/28/19 and after re-logging, you’ll receive your $10 with an extra $15 bonus!

This isn’t how it works. You don’t get the $15 until you receive your permanent card from Serve and activate it. You do NOT get the bonus merely by registering your temporary card you purchased at Dollar General.

@sonofzeus said in Zicam Nasal AllClear - FREE after Mail-in Rebate up to $20:

Target is cheaper than RA.

That’s NOT the correct product pictured. If you check the rebate form, it is for Nasal AllClear.

“A “Qualifying Purchase” is a purchase of either one Allegra® Allergy 15-count or smaller, one Allegra-D® Allergy & Congestion 24 Hour 10-count or smaller, or one Allegra-D® Allergy & Congestion 12 Hour 20-count or smaller (the “Qualifying Products”) during the Purchase Period from a participating retailer. The Refund will be equal to the amount of the Qualifying Purchase excluding tax, less any coupons or other discounts to the purchase price received at point of sale (including store cash or rewards discounts), on the Qualifying Purchase, provided that the maximum value of the Refund will not exceed $22.99.”

@kimi said in WALGREENS B&M 8/8 to 8/14 Buy Two x $15 Domino's or Taco Bell Gift Cards, get a $10 Walgreens Gift Card:

How does the cashier know to issue the Walgreens GC? Does the register prompt them (like Target’s)?

I’m asking cause the cashiers at my various Walgreens are cold and clueless. Even if an offer is in the printed ad they would make up excuses as to why it doesn’t apply.

I just did this. Select your two eligible gift cards to purchase and a Walgreens’ gift card that looks exactly like the one in the ad (the others don’t work.) The register/computer will automatically deduct the $10 for the Walgreen’s card. I would give the cashier the heads up first prior to check-out. The ad was on page 12 of the weekly flyer in my area.

@c3 Link

Here’s the link for it, but it is currently showing out of stock.

@waldo1945 How is that a scam? Do you expect your credit card to be refunded for the value of the Kohl’s cash? That’s funny.

Nice. Got it on 3 out of 4 of my Chase cards.

Lorenw’s list is NOT correct. For instance, Outback is not one of the gift cards subject to this promotion. If you go in the club there is a separate display with large approx. 8.5" by 11" cards that the cashier exchanges for the actual gift cards.

Here is the link for the cards on special:
Gift Cards - One Day Event - Sam’s Club

Each time I’ve been to Officedepot.com recently I’ve been offered a 20% off the highest priced item in my cart if I hang around for a few minutes without checking out. YMMV, of course.

And at Amazon:

Amazon

Code “LOT18” worked online without issue. Selected “pay at restaurant,” arrived, purchased $30 gift card with AmEx offer and paid with that. Great deal.

Same price at Newegg, Best Buy and Samsung.

Be sure to sign up for their rewards program. I love the place and get frequent emailed offers. Just got a free entree and appetizer last week.

Rewards

Never had tried Jet’s before until this deal. REALLY good pizza, will definitely buy from there again.

@ctgolfer Wow, they’ve been running a bunch of coupons lately. Again, encourage people to enroll in their rewards program. among other things, a free appetizer or dessert during your birthday month that can be combined with other offers.

Check your AmEx Offers…I have spend $125 @ Levi’s and get $25 back. Topcashback is currently offering 10% back.

@barrytuneup said in $200 Visa PrePaid GC no Activation Fee @ Staples 9/2 - 9/8/18:

thanks my4!!! Buy the way with the INK cards its a 10.00 profit. But very dependent on store clerk/manager. Hit 2 Staples this AM…tried to buy 6 cards…clerk rang up and manager came over…(I was too early and only customer) voided sale and said only 1 card per customer as per ad. So they ruined all 6 cards and had no stock left for others. All the tabs were removed and I never inserted credit card. Its next to WMart so no big deal.Got my usual Money Orders. Then went down the road 3 miles and was able to buy 10 cards. Kid in charge didnt seem to care. Go figure. First store had a bum for manager.

You’re calling the manager at the first store a “bum” because he enforced the plain wording of the ad? Really?

@my4mainecoons said in FREE 40 Pound Bag Of Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Litter FAR:

Wow. A new Precious Cat rebate! I did the original offer ~ 10 yrs ago. This is new in that it requires online purchase.
I checked Amazon. Its currently $19 and only for Prime. WTH? Why is it only Prime? $19 is not a good price.
If its FAR then not a big deal but at $19 its over priced.
Precious Cat is our clay litter of choice so I have it on the camels. I haven’t paid more than $14 for 40 lbs. Its currently $17xx on Chewy but no FS.

Figure out how much it costs to ship 40 pounds of anything, especially 2-day, and you’ll quit griping.

Works for water softener salt. Also, Honey Gold found a $5 off coupon and had a $10 Honey Gold Bonus.

@mrvietnam said in STAPLES REWARDS: No Longer Expire (YMMV -see post):

I haven’t even stepped foot in a Staples store for several months. They are becoming more and more irrelevant to me.

Staples is probably relieved as they’re saving money.

OP: Next trip to Staples I’ll ask the store manager about this and post here.

Great deal, thanks for this. BTW, Retailmenot is offering a $5 rebate on a $50 purchase.

@my4mainecoons said in Free a/MIR-Online Rebate Natrol Gummies 90ct Vitamins up to $14.99 (see post for all info):

Natrol will be on sale at RA the week of Sept. 23, BOG50%.
eg $13.49 melatonin, 2 @ BOG50% = $20.23 - 2 $2/1 mq
$16.23, submit MIR for $13.49
net $2.75 for 2 bottles

I have higher priced stores so might be $12.99 for melatonin elsewhere

-or- buy one melatonin and one multivite for lower oop

Check your rebate status, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. I did what you outlined, except at CVS. They were also running BOGO50% and I used the manufacturer’s coupon. I’m getting back $6.43. They obviously averaged the cost per bottle and did not issue the rebate based on the full price bottle.
I would have been way better off buying one.

Glad to say one 3 minute phone call fixed the issue an they are sending me a second check. Thanks to all for the info and suggestions.

@ctgolfer IDK what these are like but I bought a look alike brand of replacements for Sonicare once. I returned them.

I have NEVER had a good experience with aftermarket brush heads…genuine Sonicare only for me.

Was it on the eBay front page or the My eBay Summary page?

@mistercheap said in Office Depot/Max: 11/18 - 11/24: 100% back after Rewards on 2 packs of ANY Duracell batteries, including larger packs, Quantum, and rechargeables, and other sizes than just AA or AAA:

@zennuts $10 minimum spend to qualify for ink recycle, but the farwds batteries satisfy that.

As for what to spend them on:

Postage stamps

Breakroom items (they will price match staples and other stores if you find a good deal and want to burn rewards on that item).

Earlier in the year they were running deals on free after rebate case paper. could spend the rewards get the paper, then submit for a $40 OD Gift Card.

Stamps would be a particularly good choice before the 1/27/19 rate increase. First class going up $0.05 to $0.55 for the first ounce.

True but no 10% in other categories as yesterday’s offering…

Still handy if you max out the $100 in other categories using PRESENTSGALORE and still have stuff in Home & Outdoor that you want a 15% discount on.

Handy, but definitely not as useful. Glad I made my main purchase yesterday.

@ctgolfer Only seeing the $3 coupon for the 8 count, not the 4.

@niniss said in FREE $15 Dollar General Bonus Credit With American Express Serve Card -Online Registration:

Can you load the $10 using credit card, or cash/debit card only? Thank you! Btw, your serve link doesn’t work.

Try this

To sweeten the deal a bit, if you are an AutoZone rewards member, check your email. On 3/29/19 I received this:
“You’re Even Closer To A $20 Reward!.”

It contained a coupon to get an extra bonus credit (normally requires a $20+ spend) with a qualifying $20 plus purchase. I was at 3 with one expiring on April 1, so perfect timing. I picked up the UV Tire Protectant and a few other chemicals to hit the $20 threshold… $7.99 rebate plus a $20 bonus for 5 qualifying purchases.

Great deal on a “significantly below average cat food.”

Cat food database

NONE of the Purina One dry foods rate even an “average” and most, including this one, are significantly worse. I would not feed this to my pet.

Great deal. I very much recommend the chicken parm, really nice sized portion.

Good timing. Check your email, this arrived today (subject line) with a coupon link:

HURRY IN! Save 20% on your next food purchase

A better deal, I believe, is to purchase the 32 ounce bottle of Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner from Advance Auto Parts. It is a much more concentrated cleaner than the Fuel Injection Cleaner.
Advance Auto Parts.link text

It is $16.99/bottle and coupon code RMN25 takes 25% off ($4.25) bringing the pre-tax total to $12.74

Code, please if you have any left. Thanks in advance.

@mrvietnam said in Pizza Hut: Free One Topping Medium Pizza - Offer ends May 28, 2020 or while supplies last:

Pizza Hut just called me and told me to bring my ID because they’re checking IDs.

Good. Because this is a promotion Pizza Hut is doing for high school graduates since most can’t have a traditional graduation ceremony. I hope they weed out the unscrupulous people just trying to cash in on corporate generosity to save a few dollars. I’m all for saving money, but you can do that while still maintaining some moral integrity.

I bought these and wound up donating them. I had the same issue as was expressed in the negative reviews…the cap fit so tightly when you removed it the entire point and ink cartridge came out with it. Emailed BIC and never received any response.

@mrvietnam said in Amazon Prime Video: Watch 5 Hours of Select Prime Videos, Get a Free $5 Video Credit + $5 CheezIts Credit Must Enroll each month:

I just chatted with Amazon customer service and he asked me how I found out about the promotion. I said in an e-mail from Cheez-Its (not really, but I had to say something) and then he asked me to send him the e-mail. He said, "I’m really sorry any promotional from Amazon to you will be notified to you by the Email from us " He is leaving the chat window open for 24 hours for me to send him the e-mail from Cheez-Its. Is this promo advertised anywhere besides deal boards?

“…(but I had to say something”… Maybe the truth? I don’t understand people’s willingness to lie for a coupon for bad crackers
and a few dollars off at Amazon.
