I’ve heard the formulations are not quite the same. I’m actually not that picky about mayo, but I was just a bit curious to see for myself, given the opportunity.

RE: Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.
@dangeruss
I don’t understand what they are doing at all, either. I posted earlier in this thread that the amount of ink recycling they were offering me changed from the original 10 for 100 points each to 15 for 400 points. And now they are offering me 30 for 400. I am not in the recycling game in general (maybe their motivation?) and only recycled some this month because I happened to run out of toner recently, and someone passed a few more on to me. I don’t have Plus. I used to shop at Staples a lot more, mostly clearance deals when they were real deals in the old days (luckily I didn’t give away all my free cases of paper and kept a few), but only shop occasionally now, mostly when I can stack coupons and tech recycling rewards to buy things like paper towels and toilet paper.It would definitely be better if they were clear about the program and not offering so many different permutations to different people.

RE: Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.
I recycled alkaline batteries a few hours ago and got the 1000 points already.
The people in the store, this time and last week when I recycled ink/toner, insisted that the tech recycling program never ended and will keep going (regardless of my telling them that it was clearly no longer on the website last week). So hopefully despite their apparent misinformation regarding what is being told to customers, it will continue beyond 4/20.

RE: Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.
Isn’t April Earth month (or at least contains Earth Day). Seems a strange time to cancel a recycling program. Hopefully they’ll restart it soon in some form.

RE: Want to change Start Menu in W11. Is Open Shell ok to download?
I used whichever one is available on the Ninite.com software page. If you’re not aware, Ninite is a great, safe way to load many kinds of free software all at once. I use it every time I get a new computer or need to load something on someone else’s.
Edit: looks like Ninite has open shell.

@marvomatic said in (New Offer) BJ's: Join for $20 Get a $20 Reward after spending $60 in one order Expires May 6:
@hbg1 There will be other BJ’s deals, in the future.
For sure. I actually had tried to do this deal in December, but waited until the last minute and then the code didn’t work. Customer service wasn’t helpful so I gave up. A few days later the same deal appeared from Groupon, with an additional discount code on the Groupon end, so I wound up making a bit of money off the deal. Anyone who missed this one, just wait a bit and another version will likely turn up.

RE: Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.
My ink recycling reward changed this month. Previously it was showing 10 for 100 points each, now it’s 15 for 400. I actually have a few around to recycle, so I guess now is a good time, along with my monthly tech recycling.

RE: Updated 3/8/24: BEWARE of Rakuten cashback. I had one of their Big Fat quarterly cashback checks returned today for insufficient funds. Luckily I only lost $5
@my4mainecoons said in BEWARE of Rakuten cashback. I had one of their Big Fat quarterly cashback checks returned today for insufficient funds. Luckily I only lost $5:
I’ve never used Rakuten because for some reason I associate them with the loss of FW. Now I can’t even recall where that idea came from.
According to my recollection, Rakuten/Ebates bought FW and then shut it down. (Or maybe you were being sarcastic?)
I hesitated to continue to use ebates (now Rakuten) after that but I’m a long-time user, I’ve had good experiences with them in general, and didn’t feel like starting over somewhere else, even for more cash back. I get my checks via Paypal and (so far) have not had any issues. I do find I have to watch the cash back that is credited more closely than before, and have to request the credit via the help screens. They usually credit it after that, and often right away.

Uggh, I had a rewards certificate I forgot to print, and now that is gone from my rewards. Also a Plus member, and I am at 400 pts per 20 carts per month.
This is a mess. They sent me an email yesterday saying that my rewards number is being used by another account and that I should sign up again. The website showed no activity. Today I checked in the connect app to see if my tech recycling reward was still there. After going through a few changeover screens and clicking around a lot, I finally found my reward.
If I recall, when they forced us to the connect app, I had to sign up again. My guess is that that created a second account.
I don’t recycle ink, but I wonder if you all have a similar situation. Maybe your second account gets the better recycle deal and has your old statuses. Just a thought.
Did you sign up again? I was worried about doing so because it might assign a new rewards number.
I didn’t sign up again like the email they sent me suggested (same text posted above), but I wondered afterwards if going through the new screens on the Connect app might have done something.
I think I’ll need to try and contact support to see if they can merge my accounts, if that’s what the problem is.

RE: Quaker Oats recalls two dozen more products due to salmonella risk The company has recalled more than 60 types of cereal, granola bars and snacks since December. The latest on the list includes several Cap’n Crunch products.
The updated list included a few cereals I’ve bought recently. Some pages are showing a starting Best By date of 1/11/24 (the date of the new recall list), where the previous list said “all dates up to xxx”. It wasn’t clear to me whether that date is just the first non-expired date the announcement will cover.
But I filled in the form here https://www.quakerrecallusa.com/ and it didn’t ask anything about expiration dates. -

RE: Hulu 99c per month for a year, Disney+ for another $2/month
This is an awesome deal. Hulu is half the price of the $1.99 last year. I wasn’t planning on getting Disney+ but for only $1 more a month than I paid for just Hulu this year, I’ll add that as well. I’ve been wanting to check it out but I couldn’t justify it before when I don’t really have time to watch what I already have.

RE: Fresh Pass $5 perk, not showing yet for October - Anyone?
I just got an email telling me I have two FreshPass perks, $5 expiring on 10/15 and the Starbucks coupon. I clicked the links to clip them and… nothing. Still not visible anywhere as far as I can tell. Looks like I’ll be calling support again.

RE: Fresh Pass $5 perk, not showing yet for October - Anyone?
@mistercheap
They’ve actually been really nice when I call the Freshpass number. They’ve given me credits on my account to make up for the missing $5 coupons, and then some extra. That credit can’t be tracked on my end but I bought something yesterday and it was free except for tax, so it seems to work as expected.
I’m getting a bit frustrated that they can’t seem to fix my account though. I may call again towards the end of the month if I don’t hear back from them first (the last person said she’d call me back) to see about progress.
They can see right away that the coupons aren’t on my account, so that’s not the issue. -

RE: Fresh Pass $5 perk, not showing yet for October - Anyone?
I still have never had any coupons since I joined at the end of August. I’ve called three times so far, and they keep saying they will investigate.
The last time the agent said that a number of people have been having issues. Maybe the problem is spreading to those who previously were ok.

Thanks for the additional information. I didn’t see it under Special Offers.I called the “special” Freshpass help number tonight and the person couldn’t see my coupons either. They are escalating it, so we’ll see what happens. She said she was giving me a credit to use in store, but I’m not sure if or where I would see that on my end. Maybe it just turns up when I check out in the store?

Re: the promotional credit. I received an email that it was available but maybe that was wrong?
Go to the FreshPass section to see if it’s available for clipping.
I signed up for Freshpass, and got a notice earlier this month about the $5 off coupon. At the time, I saw I had 2 coupons available, one expiring on 9/15 and one on 9/30. I can’t find the notice anymore. I wanted to use them before the 15th, and I tried everything I could think of, in the app and on the website, but I couldn’t find where they are located. I was very lucky and they gave me the discounts at the register anyway, but I want to figure this out by next month.
In a previous post with the terms, it said: “Subscribers receive the credit every month in the form of a $5 coupon available in their FreshPass offer gallery. The $5 coupon must be clipped to activate the credit for use on a subsequent purchase.”
How do I get to the Freshpass offer gallery? I seem to have the subscription to Freshpass in place but just can’t figure this out. If it makes a difference, this is Safeway.
Thanks for any help someone can give.

Got the same message, I was a bit confused because I also don’t have Venmo, but it’s in Paypal. $14 for me (thanks, Staples clearance!). Found an additional receipt a few months ago that would have put me over the threshold for another 100 pods. Oh well.

I am looking at the “Safeway B&M Deals Thread - no off topic discussion.”
Found it, thank you! For the record, my grayed-out coupons don’t match what they mention there. My grayed-out coupons were Personal Care, Produce, and Paper. I was still able to click the meat coupon.

Anyway, I guess we’ll see if it applies to everyone or is user specific. Maybe they only are letting you select each one once. Has anyone picked the same coupon more than once? The coupons grayed out for me are the ones I picked already. I have much less interest in the ones that are left, so I was hoping to be able to get duplicates of the ones I already have, like you can do with the smaller coupons. -
RE: Albertson's/Safeway Flavor Adventure instant win (smartphone app, possibly website too)
I got to the end of all the “lands” today, and three of the six coupons were disabled and marked “not available”. They were all ones I’ve chosen before. I don’t remember that from the previous times I saw them.

These are the size batteries that you put inside your car key for keyless entry.
As a data point, I discovered a couple weeks ago that my car key takes CR2016 batteries rather than CR2032. Lucky for me I’d gotten a pack of those on a Best Buy deal recently.
But I have other items that use these. Thanks for the info!

It said that I wouldn’t lose the entry after I logged back in, but it didn’t end up tracking it, unfortunately. So just make sure you have a valid login before starting a video.

Weber Spirit II E-310 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill - Home Depot clearance $325 YMMV
Some Home Depot stores have the well-reviewed Weber Spirit II E-310 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill on clearance.
The tag on the floor model read $390 as the clearance price, but the person helping me scanned it to see if they had any boxed, and it showed it at $325. The scanner told her where to find the 7 they had in the store (up high in the garden center shelves).Brickseek should show the stores that are clearancing these and the stock, but won’t say the price.

They have it on sale right now via the website for $499 (regularly $569). Amazon and Lowe’s have it at $639.I’m very excited to have actually found one in the second store I tried - only two in my area showed any on clearance and in stock - and for even less than I thought! Hopefully others can find this as well. Good luck!
