Good find.
I have been dropping off various useless crap over the past few months and getting $5 for my troubles.

what is “senior” week?

It’s just baking soda. Pure?
Walmart and Aldis have it for .45 to .49 per pound. No additives listed on the label so probably pure as well.
I use this stuff by the pound for balancing pool water and it works just fine.

Note how Great Value brand is cheaper to buy at one pund than the larger size… that’s how they get yer.

no store pickup option for me

Sweet. Congrats!

Coupon not recognized… In store only?

Check your email. I got a mystery gift reward cert today. 7/6.
Valid until 7/17/21
Anyone know how to decipher the 16 digit code?

Walmart has their house brand sodium bicarbonate for 48 cents per pound. I use it in my pool instead of expensive pool supply chemical (Alkalinity Up etc.).
I also found it on sale at Stop and Shop for 49 cents per pound.

@marvomatic said in Staples extends free Covid vaccination card lamination til May 1:

Its best not to Laminate the card, because you may need Booster shots.

good point I will modify post to reflect
thanks

FRAMINGHAM (CBS) — Staples is extending its offer to laminate COVID vaccine cards for free. The promotion from the Framingham-based office supplies retailer, originally set to end April 3, will now go until May 1, a spokeswoman for the company said.

The coupon code is 81450 and the deal is in-store only. It should only be done after a second vaccine dose is marked on the card, or one dose of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

AS POSTED BELOW, THIS MAY NOT BE A GREAT IDEA IF BOOSTER NEEDED (MORE THAN LIKELY) AND ADDED TO CARD.

Don’t forget to get your Covid shot card laminated for free while you are there.

Today was my third call to the rebate center for purchase made on BF.
I bought the allowed 2 items, filled out the form precisely and only got rebate for 1 item.
When transferred to a supervisor today, he told me that he couldn’t see any record of the previous calls even though each previous rep acknowledged those calls.
I take this as a challenge and will chase them into hell if required.
In the meantime, save all receipts, records and take a screen shot if you submit on line (I didn’t take a screen shot thinking tracking number would be all I needed)

But is it any good?
New to me car requires synthetic. No experience.

or as I tell my wife when she is loudly “coaching” me…

If i buy 2 items from different vendors on ebay but do them in the same transaction totaling $10 combined AND apply $1.50 in ebay Bucks, do I still qualify for the bonus?

Thanks for the heads up.
Signed up but then realized that the Happy Guy card is no longer being offered as of Feb.
Guy card included merchants like Home Depot and Autozone.
No soup for me…

So, it has to be in the same transaction or is like some other promos where the coupon prints out at the bottom of receipt for $10 off on future purchase?

Can combine the following deal with Amex 10/15/20% (YMMV) on purchases at Shop Rite posted by Mistercheap.
Here’s this offer:
GCs included:

Lowe’s

OK, not sure if I should update this current post or start a new thread…
In addition to this offer there is an offer through Shop Rite starting 9/6. Spend $50 on certain GCs and get $10 off your next in store purchase. (20% savings)
Lucky me, I got the 20% off on the current offer (up to $20) so since I only bought one $50 GC when this thread started, I still had $50 left to “invest”.
That means including the $10 store purchase coupon, I’ll earn a bonus 40% on the next $50 Lowes GC I buy at Shop Rite tomorrow.

I made 7 purchases at same location over the past month and all credits showed up almost instantly. The last three at the exact same location haven’t showed up after three days. Called amex and was assured that they qualify and as per terms, it could take up to 90 days to receive credit…

Not sure if this is the same (or like) promotion.
Get 20% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled Card to make purchases in-store at Shoprite or online at shoprite.com by 10/5/2020. Limit of $20 in total statement credits.

"ongoing offer, not 1X"
seems like your statement applies to different promo?

@mrvietnam
It’s not a “month” thing. By coincidence, I got the following notice on one of my very old accounts created after R+ went down where I had paygo $ but never really used the number:
We noticed that more than 90 days have passed since your last order.
As stated in our Service Agreement your Tello number +1 (xxxxxxx) together with your Pay As You Go balance (if any), will automatically expire on xxxx .
To keep this number and avoid service termination you can go ahead and subscribe to a Tello plan in the following days. Regardless of any account activity (call, SMS, data usage), your number will expire if no order is registered by xxxx .
Please note that once deactivated, a Tello number can no longer be retrieved.

@mrvietnam
++ to what the article said.
I don’t think you can renew every 3 months according to their terms. There is a catch that makes it you need to add money every ? days. I think it is more like every 2 months?? Call customer service. They are really amazing.
I just sent you a PM.

@mrvietnam
so you might consider keeping your paygo balance in play and only taking the dirt cheapest plan every other month?
I did something like this last year when Mint offered a really cheap teaser plan. I had some of the original free paygo money left from when I switched to Tello after Ring Plus went down.
I can jump around providers by using a Google Voice number that can be directed with a click to various devices.

Also their data is not a hard stop but throttled down.
It is fast enough even throttled down to use for Google Voice calling.
I have the cheapest plan with 100 minutes/unlimited text and 500 mb data for $6 plus tax = $6.70
I mostly use text and Google Voice so I rarely even approach the 100 call limit.
I am definitely a lite user and a cheapskate to boot.

You may want not to have a calling plan at all and just fill your PAY AS YOU GO sub-account if you don’t call that much. It is only a penny a minute for domestic calls and a penny for domestic texts. That is what I plan to do is scrap the plan anf just pay pennies here and there when I use it.

I think the minimum add to Paygo is $20 and by the book, they require you to make an addition every so often but I can’t recall what that time frame is right now.

Bought some pizza on 6/1 $5 credit on 6/3 but now I’m hungry again…

Can you buy $10 gift cards at participating stores to qualify?

Unadvertised in circular (at least my local S&S circular)
Called corporate "sir, if it isn’t in the circular, blah, blah, blah…"
Just tested working this morning.
Make sure you scan your store card to get points.

great price
useful as weed/vegetation killer in my gravel driveway when mixed with vinegar
only problem is long term storage and keeping it from solidifying

We have currently reached capacity for participation in this program!

Order on line and then pickup in store or have delivered for free on orders over $25
I know this has been posted before but thought I’d give it a bump.
I’m in the middle of a couple of projects and have saved a bunch.
With discount, very competitive with other vendors even fleabay.
I have had success using PAYPAL25 (don’t need to use PayPal) and COUPON25
I think these codes expire 12/31
They occasionally have 30% off but for now this is the best I found.
Advance has generous return policy but there are restrictions.

too bad no “Dad” which includes Home Depot.
Amex Blue Cash rewards (YMMV) currently offers $15 off on 100+ purchase at HappyCards.com website which isn’t as good a deal as OP but may work for those looking out for “Dad” Happy card.
Correction: It is a “Guy” card not “Dad” which I am led to believe is an acronym for Dumb As Dirt.

yes works on variable MC GC verified.

This thread is a little confusing as it was modified to show Mastercard purchase however, the first few postings refer to the previous Visa deal.

Specifically NOT a monthly plan.
This is a total 1200/1200/3GB for 365 days.

I did the offer last week.
Not seeing it on newly created account.
Created another account for wife today and perhaps the offer (one per household) uses the address??
Just checked another account and offer is gone here at Acme in CT.

Is this already expired today 11/8? Acme circular starts today on 11/8 so am afraid it is dead here.
I don’t see it listed under offers…

Does Discover “grocery store” purchases include GCs?

@sonofzeus

No, not IMO, same but the activation fee is higher on the variable load so less of a MM.

PS, don’t think the digital Q works on variable, must be $100 Pre selected value ones.

MrV, Did you actually purchase a variable $20-500 VGC?
Also, the benefit I see to getting the $500 is the Chase Ink 3% back on grocery store purchases

disregard my comment @MrVietnam said it’s confirmed on the variable. only good for those who can max out CC points from it with respect to a MM.

MC, did you change my thread title? If so, why? I put Safeway and Affiliates and I think you or another mod changed it to Safeway, & related chains Acme. Alberstons, etc: I think most people would understand what Safeway and Affiliates meant, don’t you? You should try to not make it a habit of changing poster’s thread titles, but of course, as you always do, feel free to post in the thread and add to the conversation.

MrV, I for one would not have known Acme is included unless it was mentioned in the title.
Just got my $500 VGC which will be a MM of $19.05 which includes Amex 3% and $10 instant rebate per ad.
Thanks to all.

$10 0ff $10 for me. Thanks for the heads up!

I got email offer of 20% but PAYPAL25 25% off worked for me nonetheless.

as the above article points out "As both the Ebola and polio inoculation campaigns have shown lately, having an effective vaccine is only part of the battle. Populations must trust the vaccine and those who administer it. Social media should not provide a stage for misguided people to destroy that trust, and digital platforms can do much to help rebuild it."
Anyone can hide behind their computer screen and shout FIRE with impunity.
Health care providers and real science works tirelessly to protect even the ignorant.

On Aug. 28, Pinterest announced that it will provide information from only leading public health institutions, including the WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the WHO-established Vaccine Safety Net, “a global network of websites providing reliable vaccine safety information.” Moreover, it won’t show comments, recommendations or ads, so this is not just a case of displaying correct information next to the dodgy, but rather a genuine effort to present authoritative data to its 300 million monthly users.

The principle here is worthy: With free speech comes responsibility, in this case, to not spread misinformation that can lead to illness and death. Other social media platforms are also acting against anti-vaccination information, but Pinterest is bolder and should be emulated.

so if I place an ebay order (transaction) that includes $13 from one vendor and $2 from another vendor will this qualify or does it have to be $15 from one vendor?

I received the following on a support ticket from TCB:
“That’s no problem, split baskets are fine as long as you complete the transaction in one go for all items :)”
