Can I use the giftcard and bonus from the same account, i.e. send the card to myself?

Yes, that’s what I did, and it worked fine. I ordered the gift card yesterday and received the email within a few minutes. I received the promotional credit confirmation today. The $15 promo credit expires on August 15th.

So when you go to purchase something, can you specify you want to spend the promo credit first? Thanks for your help.

“Enter “19GIFTCARD” at checkout or click the button below to qualify.”

I think @dwayne33 is asking about the $15 credit.

Oh… Here’s what the email confirming the credit said: "Thank you for purchasing ‘Amazon eGift Card’ from Amazon.com. Your order has earned you a promotional credit which we have added to your account. This credit will be automatically applied to your next eligible order. "

My current subscription ends 10/20/19. I called, and they’ll extend it for another year @ $9.88.
Thanks OP!

If you spend > $75 on ink this week you’ll earn 25% back in Rewards instead of the usual 5%.
Unlike the online offers this one B&M only includes HP.
Recently all the online ink deals have excluded HP.

I hound ink is more expensive in store than it is online, about 25% more expensive in some cases. So the 25% you get in Rewards will be about the everyday online price with no rewards to have to liquidate.

In the past I’ve been able to price match the online price in store.

BTW, You can get 10% back with your Chase cash back card. Requires activation, and ends today.

I hound ink is more expensive in store than it is online, about 25% more expensive in some cases. At least that was the case when I bought my Brother toner cartridge, so the 25% you get in Rewards will be about the everyday online price with no rewards to have to liquidate.

Do you guys buy ink to resell? I have no use for staples ink, but need to buy $30+ every 6 months. If you do resell, which ones do you buy?

I usually buy HP ink and resell it on eBay. I’m not sure if the brand makes much difference though. My last purchase was $50+ since Staples Plus gives me 10% Staples Rewards back on ink purchases, and I need at least $5 to get the rewards.

I check eBay “sold” listings for various cartridge types to get an idea how much I’ll be able to get back.

Vons (JUST4U) has a $1 off 3. Basically no love here.

Rant:
I’ve stopped checking JUST4U after they messed it up a while back.
If you click “offer details”, and then go back, you end up back at the very of the coupons and have to page through them again.
I spent a long time on the phone explaining this to their support folks. Obviously nothing was done.
They did fix the printing problem though.
End rant.

My staples plus auto renewed on the 21st at $49 + tax. I called and they can’t adjust the price, so I asked them to cancel so I can sign up at the lower price. I’ll have to wait until the cancellation goes through so that I can sign up as a new customer again. In response to how long the deal will last I was put on hold. After about 10 minutes I hung up can called back. The next CSR told me that cancelling and signing up again would NOT get me the lower new customer price. I asked to talk to a manager, and the CSR came back on the line and told me that her supervisor approved a $25 refund!

ETA: I never did get information about how long the deal lasts, sorry.

@c3 said in US Bank Cash+ Visa 5% categories:

Chase Freedom has 5% in these categories for the next quarter:

Internet, Cable, Phone Service, Select Streaming Services

I’m going to switch out my regular US Bank category.

Chase 2020 cash back calendar

I couldn’t find a separate thread for Chase.

48 oz before S&S, not the Organic version, is now $10.30.

Now $7.49 before S&S.

Still a good price for a 24 oz. bottle.

Does this stack with rewards?

I click on the Amazon Prime button from time to time to see if they’re offering any trials. This morning I’m being offered a 30-day free trial. YMMV, of course.

Currently I see a special where you get 1 week of Prime for $1.99, so this could be a $3.01 money maker if everyone gets this offer.

Now $2.68!
