add for pick up, apply WAG10. limit 4 per order. ends Saturday

check your Just 4 U panel for possibly having. I did on one account. Going to use it with a $20 GC I got from the TCB cashback deal, rest on CC

This is a really nice deal for the Summer.

Requires the 7-11 app.

59c for large big gulp soda fountain drinks.

Go to deals and rewards, drinks, expand, scroll down to end and you’ll see the offer. Requires bar code scan at register for discount to come off. Limit 4 redemptions PER DAY!

On top of that, each Big Gulp will track in the Beverage Club deal, each 7th drink is free, and the rewards can be used on select fountain soda, SLURPEES or Coffee.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, you may want to print them out for reference when doing the deal.

Right Now, Albertson’s family chains are offering a $10 Grocery Voucher on each $50 purchase of select gift cards. No limit but you must buy EACH $50 GC in value in SEPERATE Transactions. (You’ll get 3 distinct vouchers on the receipt bottom valid for about 2 weeks. You can use ONE per transaction and must spend it in full, no change. Exclusions like beer/wine/lottery/giftcards, etc)

1. Log into your JUST4U account on Albertsons, ACME, Shaw’s, Tom Thumb, etc.

Verify the GC deal in your local ad. Screenshot attached is from ACME in the NE.

2. Go to your Digital coupons panel, GIFT CARDS under ‘events’. Clip the 12x Booster on IHOP and 10X Booster on Darden YMMV on having the boosters.

3. At store grab the gift cards you want as above. Can be 1x50 or 2x 25 for EACH transaction. BE SURE TO ENTER YOUR LINKED PHONE NUMBER Each time to ensure your points are credited. THEY MUST BE DARDEN (not Olive Garden), the DARDEN FAMILY of Chains GC and IHOP Stand alone cards. See Darden Scan so you know what to look for.

4. ON $100 worth of IHOP you will earn 2 x $10/10 voucher and 1200 points redeemable for a $20/20 Digital valid to June 30th or no expiration if you are a Fresh Pass member.

5. On $150 worth of DARDEN you will earn 3x $10 Grocery Vouchers and 1500 points valid for a 12K redemption for $20/20 digital coupon AND 300 points towards another grocery offer (produce, bakery, general)

6. Using a Credit Card to pay that earns 3-5% back on GROCERIES earns you another few bucks.

SEE SCANS. If you have any questions, please ask. It’s a great deal, just have to be organized and clear on how to pull it off to maximize your return.

same price at Walmart, ships free with Walmart+

@rick505 said in PSA: Staples imposes a fee of $2.99 for recycling is battery in certain states as of 5/3/26.:

I just read on the Staples subreddit, the $2.99 fee is waived if you purchase a battery at the same time.

The fee is waived if you purchase batteries in the same transaction. And you can price match (to Walmart, where they’re half the price).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Staples/comments/1t2s0ej/psa_staples_no_longer_recycles_batteries_for_free/

This will be useful when they run their Free after Rewards Batteries deals, then bring in a bag of 200 old batteries. Better than paying for batteries to recycle old ones

@briarycliffs said in PSA: Coming attractions - Staples will charge $2.99 fee to recycle batteries per transaction starting Sunday, 5/3/26. Recycle your montly alkaline battery now to avoid the fee.:

Well that really sucks. I know it costs money though. Apparently all tech recycling rewards are gone after today. I am down to a few ink cartridges and wondered if it’s even worth it to buy another box of ebay. I’m so worried they will do away with the “special” rate of $2 and go back to the 20 cents.

Yes, definitely makes you wonder. And since you can only recycle 6 per month, buying 100 carts is over a years supply. Glad I brought in a dead printer in April to recycle. Really hate when Staples give no notice on these programs, at least give 2-4 weeks so people can adapt to the change.

@mrvietnam said in PSA: Coming attractions - Staples will charge $2.99 fee to recycle batteries per transaction starting Sunday, 5/3/26. Recycle your montly alkaline battery now to avoid the fee.:

I guess we will all find out on Sunday, but I plan on recycling my battery tomorrow to get my $2.50 in points while I still can. It is probably just a matter of time before they scrap the recycling program entirely, including ink recycling… Good thing I only have enough cartridges for ink recycling through the end of the year.

From the reddit thread, didn’t sound like there were any plans to. But nothing would surprise me at this point.

@c3 said in PSA: Coming attractions - Staples will charge $2.99 fee to recycle batteries per transaction starting Sunday, 5/3/26. Recycle your montly alkaline battery now to avoid the fee.:

The current offer says “Expires 5/2/26”. Why bother with this month at all, for only 2 days? Strange.

Thinking the same thing, if you recycled in April, the April period runs to 5/2 and you may not get $2.50 on a battery turn in today if you already did it for April. @MrVietnam take note.

With the price of gas and my staples store being 5-6 miles away, it will cost me $2+ in gas just to go there. Not going to even risk it, at best I break even if I get the $2.50 for today with gas at $4.49 around here.

Giant Supermarkets, chain in my area. Your offer is $5 off $20 not $5 back.

This was a nice deal!

My store had the Layered Delights on sale for $2 each, got 4 to max out the FETCH offer of 4800 on 2. Earned 9600 points (MM in itself even factoring in the 10% premium on most gift cards) ($8, earned 9600)

Then I got 50c on ea limit 5 (got 4) from IB for another $2 plus a $1 Purina Bonus.

$3+ mm. If you don’t have a cat, buy them and give them to someone who does or donate to a shelter.

@MISTERCHEAP did you use your $20 credit yet? Did it just come off a $20 transaction without activation? Did the $20 in groceries include more than just dairy & produce?

No not yet. Last week I had a $40 off $75 PU order Q, used that, I’ll use it before it expires one way or another and report back when I do.

can you explain this Maine for the rest of us? thx.

I think it just means you can buy a $20 gift card directly from tcb as an easy way to fulfill the $2.50 offer.

Thx, the shopback thing confused me.

@mrvietnam said in Effective May 1, 2026 Sam’s Cub membership fees increasing to $60 a year:

Effective May 1, 2026, membership prices will change from $50/year to $60/year for Club members, and from $110/year to $120/year for Plus members. Plus members will benefit from an increased 2% Sam’s Cash™ rewards cap, from $500 to $750 per year.

It will be just five dollars cheaper than the $65 per year cost for a Costco Gold Star membership.

assuming Costco doesn’t raise their’s too.

https://newsroom.subway.com/2026-03-30-Subway-R-Offers-BOGO-Footlongs-to-Help-Fuel-Americans-Struggling-with-Rising-Gas-Prices

offer available in app and online, must pre-order, not in store.

I use a secondary email for my Cap One account, but have learned to start checking it more often.

I’ve been getting a lot of really good 'since you shopped at “X”, here’s “Y” offer for you"

Ie, Recently shopped at Chewy, Walgreens and CVS thru Cap One. Got another email yesterday for both CVS and Wags to earn 40% at CVS and 18% at Wags good to Sunday.

Plus it always pays to surf into Cap One if you are doing any online shopping to see what daily offers they have going. Sometimes the rates are really high.

One more hint: I know many gripe about the GC cashout offerings, but recently at the very bottom of the limited offerings they show when you go to the redeem page is a tiny “MORE” button at the bottom which when clicked, displays about another 30 GC’s. Ebay and some other decent online merchants are there.

@yoregano said in PSA - Shopkick went under:

I had literally just the day before cashed out. Saw an offer for Nutella ice cream that was essentially free (a little better, in fact, since it was on sale). Submitted a receipt, got the points within a few hours, and redeemed a $25 Paypal that also processed in a few hours. Then the next day, poof, Shopkick was gone. In the end, I only lost about $5 worth of points, so not too bad.

Yes, the cautionary tale, don’t let your credits build up too high at any of the apps/sites, because indeed, they can vaporize without warning.

I recall what’s probably the biggest fiasco of all time, Cyberrebate. I bought some stuff there and got my rebates back and managed to avoid disaster there, too, before they blew up. They ended up basically being a pyramid/ponzi scheme. I remember reading about the lawsuits; some creditors were in the hole six figures!

As we know, Fetch pulled a fast one on us about 2-3 years ago, upping point values to cash out for a gift card, making already earned points less valuable. I do take issue with their charging 10-20% premiums on many decent cash outs (ie 56K points for a $50 gift card). They kind of screw you that way, at least IBOTTA (for now) is dollar for dollar on what you earn to cash out as cash or GC’s.

Fetch doesn’t even offer a cash option, best is a prepaid Visa for like 64K points for $50 another joke.

And as I recently griped about, they took away the Albertsons family of GC’s from their offereings. something I regularly cashed out for.

Some interesting comments on REDDIT. FOLLOW THE ADVICE ON CASHING OUT!

Former employee that got the news this morning - no one, including the GM of Shopkick, sales, marketing, dev, etc. knew about this. We had so much on the roadmap that was so exciting, hired 4-6 marketing experts, and had a lot of momentum in the business. But apparently the board decided they were going to pull the plug, with the decision being made likely this week. We knew things were tight, but not ‘close the whole thing down with no notice or severance’ tight.

Let this be a lesson to everyone……ALWAYS redeem as soon as you have enough points for a gift card. It’s ridiculous to save points for a higher value gift card because these apps/platforms can shut down at any time without notice just like this. And then you are just screwed.

I’m smart enough to always redeem immediately so I didn’t lose much.

@phatwallet said in CAPITAL ONE SHOPPING 40% Cashback at CVS today 3/22 only:

Can anyone state they have been consistently paid on high percentage offers from CO shopping. Great offers don’t amount to a hill of beans if there’s no payout. From personal experience you are wasting time and money if you think you will be paid by CO. Check the many negative reviews on them. They are almost as bad as the phony Honey extension.

Yes, I’ve been paid successfully on recent high % offers. Used the 40% cvs offer on a $10 order, got $4. At Black Friday, had a 25% back at Walmart, that worked, 20% back at Chewy worked and 18% at Walgreens worked too.

@mrvietnam sorry to hear, can’t believe it’s been 4 years. You need to get a new pet for the boys!

@mrvietnam said in Albertsons Chains!! Buy $25 in Gift Cards (select) get $5 Grocery Voucher 3/13-3/26 (inc ZIFT ZILLONS!!):

The 4X the points on gift cards offer returned this weekend, so I can get some more Amazon money at effectively 23% off.

actually, more than that if you count the points as money. each $100 (4 x $25) in GC purchases puts you at 400 points towards the $20/20 offer at 1200. Thus another $6.66 in value on 400, so very close to 30% back.

ACME has the 48oz bottles of cold brew/iced coffee, flavored or unsweetened for $5 on sale.

Paid $2 after the $3 Starbucks J4U digital with Fresh Pass. Nice use of the Q as I don’t drink those loaded sugar bottled ones that are $3 for 12 or 16oz?

Bottled was dated to April 22, so have over a month to enjoy it.

Picked up 4 x $25 Zift cards on Saturday. No issues, got 400 points on 4 and all the $5/5 coupons. paid w/Discover for another $5 back in cashback.

Even used one on Saturday since I had some rain checks. Nice that you don’t have to wait to use them like you do at ShopRite on their GC deals.

@mistercheap CS told me that it would come off the next time I had a $20 basket. Didn’t say anything about clipping it. I wonder if the $20/$20 has an expiration date. LMK what you learn.

I’m probably going to call them and get some info. Don’t want to take a chance of going up to pay at the register and $20 doesn’t come off the bill.

@mistercheap According to CS it’s a $20/$20 basket q.

@my4mainecoons OK, I spent the full 20 on the offer. What happens next? Don’t see any coupon or anything to clip for a $20/20 basket coupon. Do you know how this works?

@mrvietnam said in Fetch Redemptions: Albertson's Family of Supermarkets GC's no longer offered:

I wonder why the change? But at least Kroger is still available. They have cheaper prices than Albertsons, so I might prefer Kroger anyway…

Sucks for me, this was the only grocery chain in my area offered on FETCH had been my go to redemption for some time now.

see your local ad for details and all participating cards.

also includes Home Depot, Lowes, Door Dash,and more.

Must buy each $25 card in unique transactions, be sure to clip multiplier offers for GC’s in your Just4U panel first.

@MISTERCHEAP I can’t imagine not being able to spend the $20 but a reminder that tofu and the refrigerated protein bars are produce items. I have $1.35 back on Perfect bars from iBotta.

oh, I know but we really use a lot of produce and I already spent $10 yesterday towards the $20. The $1 produce items on this sale are great.

Question, is the $20 coupon you earn for spending $20 good on all items or just produce/dairy items? Wasn’t clear on that point.
