Sam’s Club Members now to 11/8/25, Schedule Your Flu Shot at Link, Get Flu Shot in Store, get $10 SAMS CASH!! https://www.samsclub.com/pharmacy?fbclid=IwY2

@yoregano yeah, have no idea how one gets chosen for this. Have to get over to Sam’s today or tomorrow to use this!

Does anyone know, if I pay with part of the $35 sams cash I have, do I earn new Sams Cash?

I got this email today, recently joined about a month ago. Check emails.

@my4mainecoons said in Albertson's Family Chains! $10 Grocery Voucher on $50 GC's 10x points on ZIFT GC's digital Q (ends 9/27 for 10x):

Just checked. 600 points. So 10x + the usual 2X for gc purchases?

seems that way, I got 3 cards so missed out on 300 points at the 4x stacking. Think I’m going to let it go this time. 1800 points was pretty good on top of the 3 x $10 vouchers.

IMPORTANT, you have less than a week left do this!!! All redemptions at old point values must be completed by Sunday 10/5!!**

@pitcherswife future FYI, please put all similar deals like this in one thread for 'Coffee Day 2025" or 2026 as the case may be, it’s way too much clutter and work for us to manage 10+ different threads at smaller chains that are very localized to states or regions. Thanx for your help.

TOMORROW Sat 9/27 only.

There will be the 4x weekend GC Digital that will stack with the 10X.

Remember to clip it on Sat, you will get 14x points (ymmv, may have to call c/s after) on each $50 GC.

Remember. to purchase 1 x $50 gift card at a time (or 2 x 25), you only get one voucher per receipt, not per $50 in GC’s. So if you want 4, do 4 transactions. the digitals are unlimited use!

As ZIFT expires on 9/27, you must do this on Saturday if you want the stacking digital offers.

@my4mainecoons said in PetSmart Perks Free 5K Points ($10) Exp. 9/21 (Today!) YMMV:

Last minute but maybe someone can use this.

1. PetSmart is giving 5K points to PetPerks accounts, expires today.
2. There’s an additional 5K points wyb $40 in cat food and a different offer for dog food. That offer expires next weekend and can be done once a day, L5.
3. There’s also a tiered multiplier based on your spending history. Minimal shoppers (like me) earn 2X points, heavier shoppers 3X and their super shoppers get 4X points.

Using Rewards counts as a store discount against your purchase total.
I had $14 in Rewards. Got the free $10. So to receive the 5K for spending $40 needed to spend $40+$14+$10= $64. Ordered BOPUS through TCB. Paid with PS gc purchased on a weekend when Shaw’s had $10/$10 wyb $50 in select gc.

The next day when I picked up the BOPUS order I used mq’s from Purina customer service. One was max value $99 😁. I used it on a $69.99 case of food and earned another $5K because they were mq’s not sq. I wouldn’t have received the 2nd 5K if I’d done it all on the same day since the offer limit is once a day.

Today a 2nd (rarely used) account received a reminder about the free $10. Placed a BOPUS order to spend them.

@my4mainecoons in the future, if you’d be so kind to tag me in a post like this I’d appreciate it, missed it.

Does the deal have to be redeemed at Safeway or a Safeway family store?

If it is only valid at Safeway stores, would it be possible to buy a $50 E gift card to Safeway as that gift card could be used at any of the Safeway family stores? How would one go about doing that?

@MrVietnam Re ‘e’ gift card, as long as it is sold by and billed as safeway.com it should be fine, but not a third party gc biller like cashstar.

Personally, I’d buy a plastic one in store and pay in store for it. No telling how these things get coded for online purchases, but that’s just me.

Well, the reason I was asking about E gift cards is because I have no Safeway store within hundreds of miles from my house. That’s why I was wondering if it had to be Safeway or it could be part of the Safeway family. I tend to think the former.

Ahh, ok, understand now.

I just received the Starbucks glitch email. I wish it happened more often.
I never use the Starbucks offer because the nearest Shaw’s with a SB is 90 miles away.

yeah much rather have $5/5 than a starbucks coffee deal which I never use anyway. Remember, many of us paid $49 for Fresh Pass in Nov 24. (1/2 price) this will put me up to $70 total for the year in free $5/5 Q’s total for the $49.

Was it $49 before or after the $10 back from Rakuten?
I will be very very very sad if we aren’t able to renew for the same price.

Good question, I don’t remember for sure. But I could swear it was 50% off, so that is $49.99 plus the $10 rakuten for a $25 mm based on 13 J4U $5/5 monthly coupons.

PS, they may run it again, but likely not for renewals. TBD If you have a 2nd J4U account you can probably purchase it on the other one.

I logged into my ACME account before where I have a fresh pass sub. To my surprise, I have another $5/5 digital valid to 9/30. I already clipped and used the one that came out on 9/1, so worth checking your accounts to see if you have it. YMMV of course.

@yoregano said in Dunkin App Users: Convert Points Now for Rewards, rewards program changing 10/6, more points will be needed for same items (see post):

Yeah, DD has been much more about beverages than donuts over time. The donuts are ok, not anything special.

One thing they do have which I think is outrageously good and worth it is their Coffee Cake Muffin. Far more satisfying that a donut, can cut it in 1/2 eat part now, rest later.

@mrvietnam said in Dunkin App Users: Convert Points Now for Rewards, rewards program changing 10/6, more points will be needed for same items (see post):

A little off-topic, but since this thread is about Dunkin’ Donuts. I bought a dozen Dunkin’ Donuts for the first time in a long, long time yesterday around 5 PM and they were expensive and they didn’t taste very good. Tasted kind of day old. I guess I was eating donuts they most likely made in the early morning…

That late in the day, I ask them to sell them to me at 1/2 price. They throw out most of what they don’t sell at closing. Some stores will do it, especially if they have a ton still on the shelf.

If you ask nicely, its worth the gamble, worst they can do is say no. (I have purchased muffins and bagels like that, not a big donut person, but I can confirm I’ve gotten deals on baked goods after 4 or 5PM, again based on closing time (usually 8 or 9) and how much they didn’t sell.

@yoregano said in Dunkin App Users: Convert Points Now for Rewards, rewards program changing 10/6, more points will be needed for same items (see post):

Thank for the head’s up. I’ve got over 4k points banked up, will have to ponder my options.

Easy decision for me. I had been getting a large cold brew with my points, that’s going from 500 to 900 points.

I have 6K points (about 12 drinks, banked from the free Aven $5 gift cards I was getting and various booster promos). Between now and 10/5 I will redeem all 12 for free cold brews, already did 1 today. so between now and 11/5/25 I’ll be getting about 2 free ones per week. I can handle that. The redeemed reward is valid for 30 days and just sits in your offers panel awaiting use.

Dunkin App Users: Convert Points Now for Rewards, rewards program changing 10/6, more points will be needed for same items (see post)

1. Big changes coming to the DUNKIN rewards program with not much notice, effective 10/6

2. Points will now expire after a year.

3. Cold Brew redemption nearly doubles from 500 to 950 points!

4. You can redeem points now for ‘free items’ that will be valid for 30 days in your offers area, or stagger redemptions between now and early October so you can extend how long they are valid for.

@my4mainecoons said in BEWARE!~ Some J4U $/$ coupons hitting on below value total, penalizing shopper -:

I thought that I had $5 worth of non-milk in my order yesterday. The $5/$5 FreshPass didn’t come off. Turns out I only had $4.62 in non-liquid dairy. It didn’t allow 38¢ towards my $19.95 in milk.

That’s good to hear. Hopefully mine was an isolated situation, but it was quite an eye opener to know it could even happen.

Monday, 9/15:
FREE Hamburger with a $1+ purchase.
Tuesday, 9/16:
FREE Cini Minis with a $1+ purchase.
Wednesday, 9/17:
FREE Croissan’wich with a $1+ purchase.
Thursday, 9/18:
FREE Bacon Cheeseburger with a $1+ purchase.
Friday, 9/19:
FREE Whopper Jr. with a $1+ purchase.
Saturday, 9/20:
FREE Cheeseburger with a $1+ purchase.
Sunday, 9/21:
FREE Original Chicken Sandwich (OCS) with a $1+ purchase.

Had a very strange thing happen on Friday.

I had redeemed a $3 off produce rewards coupon. Acme had Vidalia onions on sale for 79c a lb w/digital. When I went to SCO to weigh and pay for onions had about just under 3 lbs in the bag for $2.10, The $3/3 applied itself against $2.10, screwing me out of 90c value on it. I had the attendant void the order and I just got more onions to get it over $3.

Now, I don’t know if this situation would occur on a $10/10 or the monthly $5/5 Fresh Pass. I used my FP $5 for Sep. but had bought more than $5 from the start so no way to know.

The attendant says she heard about them making a change on 9/1 to how the coupons come off but didn’t go into any detail.

So if you have a $10/10 clipped and you run in for a few items and your total is $5.70, just keep an eye on your total. They don’t seem to have a way to remove it from the order, not sure if you can ‘upclip’ a reward so it doesn’t apply itself to that order.

@my4mainecoons said in Get $202 cashback and up to a $300 Prepaid Mastercard when you sign up for TMOBILE Internet via TopCashback:

It doesn’t look like any of the plans are fiber optic but they all have a 5 year price guarantee.
The plans all have the same upload and download speeds so is the difference prioritization? So if it’s a busy time the more expensive plan gets better service?
The most expensive plan includes Hulu & Paramount streaming but otherwise the extras sound like fluff.
I’d appreciate help, thanks!

1. I have this Wi-Fi service and have been very happy. (have it 10 months)

2. It doesn’t work over fiber optics or cable, works via Tmobiles 5G phone service, like a 24/7 hotspot for your home wifi. So all you do is plug in the router they provide and connect it to your devices wirelessly or wired (ie, ethernet) and you’re good to go. Also your smart TV’s, phones, etc can all connect to their router. Any wifi device really.

3. I’m on the $60 a month plan with auto pay, it’s even cheaper if you have a T-Mo cell phone, like $45 or $50 with auto pay.

4. I just have the internet, not streaming packages as I can get those cheaper on my own. There’s no contract and you can cancel at any time, but to keep the $300 prepaid card, think you have to keep the service 4-6 months, need to read the fine print.

5. Over all, this deal is unbeatable, at $60 a month, it pays for about 8 months of service with $500 total back.

@mistercheap said in [Schedule online and get a flu shot at ACME (sister chain?) earn

Well, maybe every market is different because I signed up for the health option on the app and I didn’t sign up for a flu shot, but I must’ve done something else and it said I had 1200 points waiting for me and when I went to redeem 1000 points was only worth a dollar, so go figure .

I’ll follow up on this and report back when I have more info.

@MrVietnam Hi, ok, here’s the deal. you get 10K points (5K for scheduling and 5K for showing up for flu shot) so that is worth $10 based on 1000 points. Now, you earn points for various activities in the app, including signing in once in a while (so basically you got $1 for doing nothing but signing in). You can schedule a flu shot, and then cancel it for $5 in points or get your flu shot and get the other 5K.

Shoprite has them on sale this week for $2.99, so picked up two yesterday and got the rebate.

$1.50 per can net is a great price on these.

Typically they sell for about $4, so you’ll have to look for a sale price locally.

Thx @mtnagel

General reminder to keep up with expiring points, with all these games every month or two, expiring points creep up, have about 180 expiring on 9/30 so will probably get a whopper this month with 750 points.

Yes, we get the 10% off Q as well on above, but they were offering that even before this new offer hit.

I got my flu shot today, pharmacist handed me the 10% off paper Q. To be honest, I rarely have a huge out of pocket at Acme, maybe $20 tops? Have so many J4U offers/rewards, etc that there’s no need. So at most, that Q is worth $2 to me. I had no plans to get my flu shot at ACME until this newest offer came out. CVS is giving a $10/20Q valid in store online, but I’d rather have the straight $10 off groceries deal.

worked great! already got my 5K points for scheduling.
