Bad news for those of us with old cell phones too - mine is an older-than-dirt Motorola 755 clamshell flip phone, which is fine since I only need it to make calls, take calls, and take messages mostly if I’m away from the house. Even Verizon (my carrier) has lousy reception in my rural location, we’re retired and home most of the time, so we have a landline plus up-to-date laptops. I’m starting to gather information now on affordable (that’s a joke!) smart cell phones with a reasonably large view screen that is also user friendly. Also I intend to buy it outright rather than make payments since I’m “grandfathered in”, contract expired years ago, and I just pay a monthly statement.

@Dionaea there are many affordable cell phones with 5-6" screens sometimes in the $100 price range on a good deal. Just has to be unlocked and compatible with your carrier. You really do get a lot of bang for you buck given what you can accomplish with a smart phone vs a flip phone. Plus with app savings and other things you may not be taking advantage of now, it helps pay for it over time. I’m a fan of Motorola phones, have found them to be reliable, capable and fairly easy to learn. But that’s one of many brands you can check out.

Thanks @ctgolfer good deal. 10% off a gallon plus the extras the @sonofzeus shared.

I get 3% back on online purchases from my BOA visa, so about 17% off total with RMN CB. Makes a $3 gallon of gas $2.50ish.

3G networks will disappear this year — and that's bad news for your car. Here's why

Mobile carriers are shutting down their 3G networks this year. The planned shutdowns could create a headache for drivers across the country.

Thanks, MC. Would have spent full price buying food, bedding, and hay for my guinea pig, Jack, anyway. Nice to be able to get it at 20% off. This could make for some good deals when coupled with PetSmart store coupons for added savings…

@MrVietnam don’t forget to price match where it saves money! they will match chewy.com online prices in store for instance. Then coupon on top of PM.

Yes, I have been price matching sometimes. Does chewy.com have the cheapest prices around? I have Petco around here, but they are just as expensive as PetSmart if not more. But thank you for the reminder.

you have to compare, depends on the item, but almost typically they are cheaper than instore Petsmart prices.

actually bought this stuff not too long ago. got it pretty much free with IBOTTA credits back. Not bad, but not worth $2.50 for a pouch either. pretty tasty for free!

I had one experience with the cook in bag rice, Knorr’s flavored rice I believe. It had a metallic/medicinal taste. Never again, never again.

I got the Korean spicy flavored, wasn’t bad, but wouldn’t pay $2.50 either.

@my4mainecoons said in $10 Visa gc wyb $20 store brands ONLINE @ Albertsons stores (Acme, Albertsons, CARRS, Jewel Osco, Pavilions, Randalls, Safeway, Tom Thumb, Shaws, Star Market, and Vons):

@MISTERCHEAP here’s how you find what’s included at Acme
Acme.com home page
Scroll down to Shop Popular Categories > View More > Exclusive Brands > Delicious Game Day Snacks > View All

There may be a faster way to get there but this is what CSR came up with.

Hey, thanks Maine for this cheat sheet! Much appreciated.

title of email: Incoming $60 Gift Card. see your email, and T&C in email for for terms/conditions. exp 1/19!!

Just a heads up:

For the “SEAFOOD” offer, cans or pouches of TUNA FISH work fine. Does not have to be fresh seafood. So you can buy $3.51+ of tuna and submit for the rebate. I’ve done it twice already on two receipts and they’re processing (past the rejection phase)

@my4mainecoons said in $10 Visa gc wyb $20 store brands ONLINE @ Albertsons stores (Acme, Albertsons, CARRS, Jewel Osco, Pavilions, Randalls, Safeway, Tom Thumb, Shaws, Star Market, and Vons):

@mistercheap I’m figuring it out as I go. $30 minimum order but no additional fees AFAIK. So $20 for the promotion and $10 other items.

• $20 after coupons in participating products from the link on 1 receipt
  $30 total order
  Pay with Visa card

I don’t want to buy things that I wouldn’t ordinarily buy. Yes, mini carrots are expensive but at 50% off they drop to sale price in the summer. They haven’t been cheap for awhile.

the mini carrots are organic, that’s why they’re high. the regular mini carrots are often on sale for $1, but the non-organic don’t appear to be a participating item for the rebate.

I’d be very selective with this deal. Some of the prices of items online are ridiculously high, such that 50% off with $10 rebate makes them only an ‘ok’ price. You can often to better just shopping the sales and buying in store w/o all this rebate BS.

Case in point: Signature Select Hamburger Buns $3.49?? Are you freaking kidding me. These are 89c, sometimes 69c at ALDI everyday. so even at 1/2 price $1.75 is no deal and I know Acme runs these for on sale for $1 at times.

Some things are decent at 50% off, 16oz Organic fresh spinach for $5 ($2.50)

But my other question, what’s the minimum order amount to do pick up? Usually it’s like $35 or $50 and they charge you a shopping fee, don’t they?

@my4mainecoons can you clarify what, if any other rules apply here (min orders, shopping fees, etc) thnx.

@connman said in Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes Master Thread:

Well, looks like it took a whole day for the new KFR to break. Can’t log in after waiting 12+ hours for the last token (receipt upload). Wonder if they realized that they might be giving away a lot more than they thought they would in the first 24 hours or if they actually have technical issues?

I’ve not had trouble logging in, but the site doesn’t seem to be working right. I’ve done multiple activities and only received credit for two tokens. It’s hard to tell, they may have removed some of the free activities.

I’ve run into the same problem. says ‘claim’ your token at the end of the activity, thing spins around, but no token in my ‘bank’ toward the 5. Only earned 1 and an offer to get two w/first uploaded receipt which is 3 when that happens. Will see if they show up, if not, will call them.

@waldo1945 said in Kohl's Cash Gotcha:

@my4mainecoons
I unwound both transaction(s) with Kohl’s - both items were returned. I feel the end result should be as if I never bought anything at all. They keep their merchandise and I keep my money. Regardless of their bla bla bla posted store policy it strikes me as a “gotcha”. Once one uses KC it becomes a gift card/store credit, which isn’t the end of the world but since you paid $10 cash for it, it should not have an expiration date. Who would buy a gift card with an expiration date? Just because some policy is posted doesn’t meant it might not violate a consumer protection law etc. or simply be unjust. If you parked a car in a lot and the print on the back of the ticket said if you stay over by even a minute you will be charged $500, I doubt many would say, Oh well, they told me so I’m stuck. We disagree that’s all.

@Waldo1945 in a perfect world, I agree with you. However, thinking Kohls Cash is a gift card of some kind is a mistake, at best it’s more of a coupon, $10 off a $10 purchase coupon, however, if you don’t spend $10 of KCash the balance remains until the expiration date. As a coupon an expiration date isn’t surprising.

@rowan said in Kohl's Cash Gotcha:

There was a post on SD about Kohl’s returns recently. The person made a return and didn’t get the entire amount back because Kohl’s took the earned rewards point amount from the purchase out of the refund.

The original post said…

“I made a return today and they took $8.07 off my refund. Curious as to why I looked up my online receipt and saw $8.07 was what they had given to me as rewards. So instead of taking it off your rewards account, they take it off your refund? That’s pretty terrible.”

When asked if they had used the rewards or spent KC they said this…

“I didn’t use any kohls cash or redeem any rewards. My current Kohl’s rewards has a balance of $15.49 and says: “$15 will be issued in Kohl’s Cash® on the first of next month.” $8.07 of that is apparently from my return. So instead of deducting it from my rewards, they make me pay for it. So my $8 is replaced with store credit that expires. This is really shady business.”

Not enough information, did he pay in part with mdse credit on that order? No form of original payment is mentioned and $8.07 may represent the amount of Kohls Cash he actually redeemed that he earned on this order and didn’t factor in for some reason. $8.07 is kind of a strange amount to randomly ding you for.

Also, Kohls Rewards is NOT the same as Kohls Cash, it’s a distinct program from Kohls Cash. It’s paid out in $5 increments on the 1st of the month after you hit the levels. There’s no way a return is credited back to your rewards account at Kohls.

Obviously they are not that well known:

Customer Gets Another Chance at Kohl’s Rewards Program Class Action Lawsuit

A Kohl’s customer who says she joined a “misleading” Kohl's Cash rewards program didn’t get a fair chance at a class action lawsuit against the company.

I see it all the time on deal boards where people bitch about various rewards programs, even some us regulars have in certain situations where rules gets changed to programs or feel short changed by this or that situation, myself included.

Now granted, I’ve been doing Kohls deals for years now and ‘get it’ and realize newbies come along that look at it from a different perspective. However, all consumers when venturing into uncharted waters should remember being forewarned is forearmed. If you ASSUME that by spending a rewards you were given with a purchase and then returning the item against that rewards makes you ‘clean’ to get a full refund to your credit card on the item you charged to your CC, you would have been far better off first ASKING, just like you inquire about a return policy at a store on a purchase.

Think of all the Target deals that pay out a $10 Gift Card with a $40 purchase of toilet paper. Well, if you go and spend the $10 gift card, and then return the toilet paper, you’re dinged for GC against the toilet paper return. I’m not sure how Target works that $10 gift card if you spend it and return against it but I’d assume, like the Kohls Cash, it reflects being ‘spent’ in their system as that gift card # is a unique number that now has $0 left on it.

@waldo1945 said in Kohl's Cash Gotcha:

@mistercheap
There is nothing absurd about returning items that do not fit as the fitting rooms are closed due to COVID.
But still, there is nothing absurd about returning two purchases. What is the scam, I bought a $150 of items for $140 and returned both items. Instead of getting $140 back, Kohl’s gave me $130 back plus a $10 store credit that expired in 30 days.
They converted part of my purchase price refund into a store credit with an expiration date. If you cannot see the scam, sorry I can not help you.

The rules surrounding the use of Kohls cash are well known, you obviously thought you weren’t subject to learning the rules of earning/using them and now you want to shove this ‘scam’ concept down everyone’s throat who is telling you it’s your own fault and not Kohls. Now you know, so there’s no reason why this should happen to you again. Just chalk it up to experience, not to being the victim of a scam.

They may be well known to regular shoppers, but this surprises me. If you spend $140 on a CC, you should get $140 back, not $130 and a $10 coupon. Personally, I would handle this with a CC chargeback. The customer never agreed to use the $10 in cash to purchase a $10 coupon that has a short expiration date.

@dangeRuss you would get the $140 back had the Kohls Cash NOT been redeemed. If you redeemed it, then the rules change. As with any ‘rewards’ type program at any merchant, you have to acquaint yourself with the rules before playing the game. The rules aren’t always fair or to one’s liking, but I seriously doubt you’d be successful on a chargeback because you REDEEMED the Kohls Cash and forfeited the opportunity for the full refund by doing so.

Thanks, MC. In for 3 Lime and 2 Hibiscus. It will be a MM for me as I am not charged the 60 cent recycling fee for each 12 pack for online orders and I can recycle each can for 5 cents.

It looks like what is happening is it is taking off $5 for in store pick up orders with NO MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIRED and it is letting you get the discount on multiple orders.I wonder if you can order ANYTHING for just over $5 and get it at $5 off?

UPDATE: I tested my theory and put other items into my cart with in store pick up and it seems the $5 is only coming off with the two items mentioned in the OP and at least in my area it seems each store only stocks one case of each type at any one time. I got 5 cases, but that is over three different stores.

By the way, I have never tried it/ Is this sparkling water any good?

Actually LaCroix is pretty good, it’s a ‘higher’ end brand vs Bubly/Aha, etc.

I guess to each their own. My family tried it and no one liked it. I just got through pouring my first two cases down the drain so I could recycle the empty aluminum cans.

Oh well, sorry about that Mr. V. Add lots of bourbon to a glass of it, tastes great after 3 or 4 of them!

See above response to mistercheap. It is the expiration date that is the major part of the problem.

and your original KC had a week’s expiration on it, right? you think you’re going to get an infinite dated Kohls Cash? it’s not a gift card, think of it as an extra bucks thing at CVS. those have an expiration date on them and if you buy something w/it and return it, you get another ecb back with the same expiration date. Kohls is nice enough to give you 30 days on your return Kcash, when they could give you the same 7-10 length days the original Kohls cash had on it.

There is nothing absurd about returning items that do not fit as the fitting rooms are closed due to COVID.
But still, there is nothing absurd about returning two purchases. What is the scam, I bought a $150 of items for $140 and returned both items. Instead of getting $140 back, Kohl’s gave me $130 back plus a $10 store credit that expired in 30 days.
They converted part of my purchase price refund into a store credit with an expiration date. If you cannot see the scam, sorry I can not help you.

The rules surrounding the use of Kohls cash are well known, you obviously thought you weren’t subject to learning the rules of earning/using them and now you want to shove this ‘scam’ concept down everyone’s throat who is telling you it’s your own fault and not Kohls. Now you know, so there’s no reason why this should happen to you again. Just chalk it up to experience, not to being the victim of a scam.

@MrVietnam guessing 2/26 is a Saturday and whatever new program they are rolling out will be starting 2/27 Sunday for the month of March.

I have the feeling the ‘status’ levels are going away. obviously Walgreens/CVS don’t maintain a status level of anykind.
