Check your email for a CVS email, subject: “$4 Off Plus Winter SPF Tips”. I assumed it would contain a coupon for $4 off SPF items, but the $4 coupon isn’t item specific. It’s for “$4 off your entire purchase”.

This is strange. Rakuten showed $10 ‘pending’. But I just checked my account and now $0 is pending – they took away the $10.

I submitted my receipt on 12/2 and received approval on 12/3. Venmo payment will take 2 - 4 weeks.

ETA: I just received a $10 venmo. I assume it’s for my 1st submission. Receipt was approved on 11/23 so it took less than 2 weeks.

Fabulous offer, I clicked on the and filled out the information but got to the submit screen and verified “I AM HUMAN” but the screen just loops back to the exact same screen. So maybe the offer is no longer available??

I had trouble too. Try a different browser. (With the 1st offer, it wouldn’t work with Chrome, but worked with Edge. With the 2nd, current, offer, it didn’t work with Edge but worked with Chrome.)

If they run out, the sign up page should state that the offer is over. (At least it did when the 1st offer ended.)

Note: A similar offer ran out last month. This 2.0 offer is fairly new, but may run out soon. (Offers were/are 3 submissions per person.) YMMV. Payment will be made via Venmo and make take 2 to 4 weeks.

I received an email for a $2.99/mo Hulu only offer, but it’s only for 6 months. I rarely watch Disney, but I watch kdramas on Hulu. I guess $4.99/mo for a year is better since I don’t know if I can get another deal after 6 months on Hulu.

Yeah, it’s $2 more than last year’s deal for both, but I think Disney+ raised their normal price during the past year.

Safeway (No. CA). The freebie is “Fancy Feast Gems” cat food. Assume this is the freebie most got last Saturday? I don’t have a cat, but I’ll try to get it and donate to the humane society.

It was a MM for me with iBotta.

It turned out to be a $1 MM for me with just Safeway. My Safeway account had a $1 coupon for this cat food. I clipped it and my receipt showed -$1.00. (I scanned my receipt with Ibotta to see what would happen and Ibotta didn’t recognize this purchase.)

$5 Costco rotisserie chicken (or any rotisserie chicken) is better than turkey. The turkey never gets completely eaten, even in large gatherings.

We eat the whole turkey – nothing goes to waste. Eat leftover turkey for two days. Remaining leftover meat gets foodsaver-ed then frozen. Boil the carcass to make broth. Use broth to make soup and a rice porridge. (Use frozen turkey to make things like Turkey Tetrazzini through out the year.)

We do the same with a Costco chicken, but turkey is once a year.

So has anyone here won anything other than free food/drinks or points?

Early in the game I won a $35 GrubHub GC via a bonus play.

@yoregano said in McDonald’s Monopoly game - 10 free entries everyday with AMOE:

I wonder if they are “running out” of free AMOE tokens. It’s taking the longest yet to receive codes after requests. I’m at 9+ hours and counting to receive mine today. I’m at the expected point, of course, as far as properties are concerned, having reached all but the moneymaker ones for each monopoly. I’ve been enjoying winning all those free food/drink items still. I’ve gotten around 50 so far. Update: I received my codes just after typing this comment.

I think more people are getting the AMOE codes now so it’s taking more time. On Reddit, there are lots of post informing people about the AMOE codes as well as the kiosk ‘trick’.

I bought the kind bars at the Starbucks that was located in the target store. The kind bars are located at the register where some other snacks are like potato chips and biscotti. A poster on SD said you could pay with rewards and still earn rewards, but to be on the safe side I paid with my target gift card…

Did the Starbucks $10 offer today. Two separate transactions minutes apart. I paid 100% with rewards and still earned the reward.

I submitted my receipt on Friday and received the venmo payment today (Monday). I got back what I paid, $5.99. (I also bought the garlic & asiago.)

I’m a frequent in store Safeway shopper. The reward dollars always comes off at the end. I don’t think reward dollars would apply to excluded items though. One time my total was just above $20, but the $20 reward didn’t apply because liquid dairy brought me over $20. (By excluding the liquid dairy, my purchase was less than $20.)

Perhaps online orders work differently.

Yesterday AM I tried the AMOE entry a few times. I didn’t receive any email until 10:00PM, which is after I shut down for the night. So they expired and I have to try again. (I have yahoo email.)

Where I am, a SB grande beverage cost at least $6 (more like $7+ for fancier drinks). So for $2, I treat myself to a beverage that I wouldn’t pay full price.

But I too, prefer a $5/$5 coupon. And it saves me from consuming excessive calories.

@c3 said in FRESH PASS Members: Possible 2nd 'bonus' $5/5 Cpn for September (YMMV):

Dear FreshPass® subscriber,
Due to a technical issue, your Starbucks offer did not apply as expected. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we want to make it right.

As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we’re offering you $5 off your next purchase.

So this explains the disappearing/missing Starbucks offer.

Thanks MrC. I got the $5/$5 too (Safeway)

BTW, did anyone get a Starbucks perk for FP members this month? I normally get a monthly offer for a $2 grande beverage. This month I didn’t get the beverage offer, but I got a $3 off $15 Starbucks GC offer. I thought the GC offer expired 9/30, but I noticed it is no longer on my account. (Safeway has pulled offers early, even if they are clipped. Doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.)

So I was wondering if others received a SB offer this month.

Check your email for details regarding the changes to the DD rewards program.

They claim they are going to offer more reward choices and they are changing the redemption value of the points. For example, my app shows it currently it’s 400 pts for tea and 500 pts for coffee & cold brew. According to the email, it’s changing to 600 pts for tea/coffee.

And pts will now expire one year from the last day of the month in which they were earned. (I have 1600 pts that will expire 10/31/25)

@yoregano said in Discover (activate) earn 5% Cashback Bonus at Gas Stations & EV Charging, Public Transit, Utilities, July 1 to Sept 30, 2025, on up to $1,500 in purchases.:

Does anyone know if residential trash service counts as a utility for the bonus? Discover does not specifically state trash service, but a google query gave an AI overview suggesting that trash service is included.

EDIT: Per a comment on the post at SD, someone says they got credit for their trash bill. So it’s worth a try.

I received the 5% bonus on my trash bill (and water bill too). Both showed on my statement as “utilities”.

It looks like another 4 weeks of free with purchase items.

No Saturday Freebie at Safeway No Calif.

@mrvietnam said in Acme (sister chains?) Save $10 on your next grocery purchase wys $50 in select gift cards (Zillions included) plus bonus points where offered:

Where would I check to see if this offer is live at my local store? It’s not advertised on the shelf but the last time they had this offer it wasn’t advertised on the shelf either… is it common for offers to go live on Friday? The sales week here is Wednesday through Tuesday…

I’m in No CA, Safeway land. According to the advertised offer at my Safeway, it started on 8/6 (Wednesday).

Just a mini vent…at my store the Sharpie pens weren’t at the regular aisle. The cashier had them behind the counter. I guess they are trying to discourage people from getting the pens.

@kimi said in Staples: Free Flash Drive with Purchase while supply lasts:

Picked up the free flash drive this AM. At my store, they are not in retail packaging. They are in little plastic bags, kept at the checkout counter. There is no item # on the bag.

Did you BOPUS or just find it at the store?

I went to the store. I couldn’t find it so I asked the cashier. He had them at the checkout counter.

@my4mainecoons said in Just4U Digital: $40 off a $75 online order at Safeway (sister chains?) Exp 7/22/25 (YMMV):

This is a one time offer; once an account has used it, it will never be offered again. It’s targeted towards customers who haven’t ordered online before. There’s also a $30/$75 banner offer but the site won’t apply it to your cart if you’ve ordered online before. I had a lot of fun doing $40/$75 orders a few months ago.

No, it’s not just for new online order-ers. I did the $40/$75 online order offer a few months ago, and I still received this offer. But of course, it’s YMMV.

Check your J4U accounts for a coupon for $40 off a $75 online order.

The P&G Back To School rebate is live now. Could work well with this Target GC deal. I’m going to buy the Zevo corded bug catcher. It’s $37.99 at my Targets and I have a $7 off Target circle coupon for it. It’s eligible for both the Target and P&G offers.

@mrvietnam said in NEW AARP Membership: $15 one year w/auto renew, get back $10.10 Top Cashback and $8 from Chase Visa Offer (YMMV):

Any benefits (besides it being a $3.10 MM when the dust settles) of being an AARP member?

I’ve been an AARP member for 15 years. It was really helpful when Walgreens had a relationship w/ AARP – Walgreens gave AARP members the same Senior discounts given to those 65 and over. But that relationship ended a couple of years ago.

I recently started shopping for a Medicare Supplement plan. I ended up choosing an AARP Supplement Plan. The premiums are a little cheaper so my AARP membership has been helpful to me again.

@mgr said in AARP Join Now, or Renew, $55 for 5 Years + Get A Free Gift | Expires June 4:

What is the Free Gift? Thanks. (I didn’t see anything mentioned at the link)

The free gift is usually a trunk organizer or luggage organizer (soft zippered pouches). I received the luggage organizer last year when I renewed for 5 years. Quality is OK.

Check your Sprouts’ coupons for a free Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizza (exp 4/22), free Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers (exp 4/22), and a free Mush Protein Bar (exp 5/14).

I clipped these coupons last night but didn’t have a chance to post until now. Hope they are still available. YMMV.

Rebate excludes trial/travel size. Rebate applies to the price paid after any coupon or discount has been applied. Offer valid for products purchased 3/30/2025 to 6/15/2025. Submission must be received by 6/29/2025. Limit one submission per household. Can use multiple receipts.

P&G Made to Save Rebate

Note: Walgreens is running a promo where you get $15 in Walgreens rewards when you $45 of select P&G products. But eligible brands may differ between the promos, e.g. Olay products may be eligible for both, but Tide isn’t eligible for Walgreens.

I only received the Gatorade SS at Safeway. But yesterday I received 6 free (yes 6!) offers from Safeway. All expire 4/1/25. I assume these are unique to my acct so I didn’t post them: Kodiak french toast sticks, Keto ice cream bars, Culture Pop soda, SunSip soda, Stur water enhancer, & Planet Oat Barista oatmilk.

I built a cart then made a big mistake. At the top of the cart I clicked to use 1200 points for a $20/$20. That dropped my total from $35.15 to below the $35 minimum order! Grrrr.

You can ‘return’ a J4U rewards coupon.

How?

From what I remember…go to the rewards section and pull up the coupon. I think it will show that you redeemed ‘1’. change it to 0 and the points should be returned to your reward balance.

NE1 else have trouble redeeming the Columbia GC? I got the link, but when I click on the link to access the GC, it’s not retrieving it. Message says I can try again in 15 minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours.

Just wondering if others are having the same problem and if so, did it actually retrieve the GC. (I have a feeling I’m not going to get the GC. Oh well.)

My offer is the typical 30% back on ink & toner, exp 1/11/25.

Since we’re talking about eggs, my Safeway J4U account has a few reward redemption offers for eggs. My offers include: 300 pts for 1 dz eggs, 300 pts for 1 dz organic brown eggs, 300 pts for 18 eggs, 400 pts for 18 organic brown eggs.

Eggs are pretty expensive in my area ($5 a dz and up) so I’ve been using reward points for eggs.
