@ctujackbauer said in AVEN App Ending Free $5 Weekly Starbucks/Dunkin Gift Cards in 6 weeks per APP Pop Up Notice:

Also, there’s already a class action lawsuit against Aven:

Fox 40 News article

Swigart Law Group - press releases

Yes, that was based around some antics with their credit card which I was very careful never to click on any offers for inside their app. I didn’t sign up for that card and there’s no info on my credit reports. I do get notified of ‘hard pulls’. And I signed up for AVEN in early May '25, after that Class Action was annouced. So I think I’m ok there.

I don’t think I did give plaid permission, but I’ll double check through my bank and have their permissions revoked if they are on there.

Thanks for the heads up on all this, I’ll be sure to protect myself to the greatest degree possible.

@ctujackbauer update: I was able to log in to my bank info and revoke the Plaid to Aven permission from there. I also have PLAID permission for Venmo, but that I’m keeping.

Aven Financial (via Plaid) Revoked 09/01/25

Thanks again.

@MrVietnam posts like this should go in Drug/Grocery, not DD. thanks.

Nice deal here. Check your IB app to see if you have the 10% back of receipt total (RX’es do not count)

Does anyone know how to cancel the app and end them having access to your information?

My free gift card period ended, and I don’t have a use for AVEN without the GC perk.

And please don’t answer ‘uninstall the app’, I want to revoke their ability to have info.

@mtnagel said in Sav-A-Lot Supermarkets up to 20% Cashback via UPSIDE App YMMV:

There is exactly 1 grocery store on upside in all of Cincinnati. Do other cities have more?

All the Sav-A-Lot locations in my area are listed, but CB amount varies from one to the other.

I have this in my upside app (17% in my case) and that’s pretty good cashback amount on a grocery store that’s discount chain.

Lots of good offers in the CHASE REWARDS panel. Check all your cards, some may have one or all of the above (or none)

Expiration dates vary by offer, max amount earned varies by offer (ie, 7% back up to a max of $7 ($100 spend).

@my4mainecoons said in IBOTTA: $4.25 back on Dunkin Cold Brew 31oz Bottles (in Refrigerated Case) Lim 2, at Target/WMT and select grocery chains:

They made it very clear that the programs are mutually exclusive when WM cash began. I never linked my WM and iBotta accounts because I prefer iBotta $ to WM cash. There was recently a notice on iBotta that linking to WM was experiencing difficulty and it was taking longer than usual for things to track. So someone could try using a linked account and scanning as well to see what happens.

OK, I rarely shop at WMT so wasn’t in the loop on this.

Today if still available and 2 more possible weeks. It’s delivered from GoPuff but they don’t ask for tip. I’ve done this 3 times already.

If tipping is normal on the platform, you should tip the person. Just because they don’t ask for a tip doesn’t mean you should stiff the poor person just trying to earn a living. I doubt they get paid much.

As I said, they literally don’t ask for a tip. There is no option and the person just leaves them.

Your ‘they don’t ask for a tip’ in the OP can be interpreted many ways thus my reply. OK if no tip needed, just wonder how these delivery people make their money. (compared to services like Uber Eats, Instacart, etc)

Definitely pricey, but for what it’s worth, I see $2.50 back in Walmart cash (expires 8/16), which might make it a decent deal combined with the ibotta.

Pretty sure you can’t combine Ibotta with Walmart cash.

How would they even know you got WMT Cash for buying it? and unless it specifically restricts it, yes you can get both.

@mrvietnam said in Amazon Four Flags" Booklet of Forever Stamps 1 sheet of 20 stamps U $15.60 Post Office | $14.91 Apply $2 Cpn $12.91Total ExpUnk:

I would be all over this deal, but since I already have $2,293.20 in Forever stamps from Staples and Office Depot, I will pass. Every time there is a postage increase, I see more return on investment. Too bad I rarely use stamps anymore, but they come in handy when I occasionally mail parcels with the post office.

@MrVietnam’s favorite song is “Return To Sender, address unknown, no such number, no such zone!”

Some good sales at ACME starting tomorrow to spend the $10 certs on.

Having their Buck A Bag produce event, Prego Pasta Sauce is 2/$3 with digital. I’ll be able to burn the two I got pretty easily if I want to.

Good for you.

Buy 2x 20 Forever stamps for $22 at Walgreens (free pickup)

Postage stamps are like gift cards, I doubt very seriously they’ll earn cashback. You may get the $2.50 which is ok, but nothing else. Personally, I’d go the safe route, buy a Walgreens GC via TCB, use that to buy the stamps, then you are safe.

@mrvietnam said in $40 off a $75 Online Grocery Order exp 8/19 (Cof'd Acme, ymmv at other chains):

I can’t find that offer here in SoCal.

It’s targeted.

If I’m not mistaken, some chains got this Q last week or two weeks ago. Acme showed up on Friday, so it’s possible if you have not gotten it yet, it may show up in a subsequent week in your offerings.

@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:

I just contacted Vons customer service and explained the situation about me only getting 400 points per $50 gift card instead of the 500 points per gift card I should have received and the 10x J4U offer I had, and he gladly just verified my purchases and then he credited my account 300 points for the three gift cards I had a shortage from. Now that was easy, as Staples might say.

Yes, I had the same outcome with my 2 gift cards, credited me 200 points.

@my4mainecoons 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:

GC offer isn’t in my ad and no kiosk signs. No 10x for Zift cards offer advertised either.
I bought no fee MC gc’s to get the free with purchase Post It notes at Staples using 5% back Chase Ink.
Then used the MC gc at Shaw’s to see what happened if bought $50 Zift.
Received the $10/$10 and 4x points (200 points).

The Zift was an older digital coupon, it expired yesterday. It was never in the ad to begin with.

Just bought a $50 Zift card. The $10 coupon printed on the receipt as expected. However:

I got only 400 rewards points. This means that only the 10x J4U offer applied (no additional 4x or 2x) and the system accounted for the $10 coupon and deducted it in calculating the points, considering it as a net $40 purchase.

If your transaction experience is different, post accordingly.

How do you figure the 10x applied if 10x on $50 is 500 points? isn’t it 1 point per dollar x 10 =50 per dollar. should be 500, no?

It seems the value of the $10 coupon is deducted, effectively making it like a $40 purchase. This is the only way it makes any sense. If you or anyone else gets a different result, be sure to comment.

Is this confirmed fact or speculation on your part @yoregano ? Still doesn’t make much sense as I don’t think the system would know because this 10x offer started before the $10/50 coupon print out. and it’s not like you got an instant $10 savings on the GC. You still spent $50 for it, so I’m going to call C/S on Monday and see what they say.

I can’t know anything for certain. It could be a system error, it could be what I suggested it was. Yeah, let us know what CS says if you call them. Did you buy a card and get the same result?

Yes, 800 points on 2 $50 cards.

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…

Posters on SD are reporting it working in West Coast stores, I’d check the thread on SD for more info. and Yes, Acme starts on Friday.

4x weekend booster is up to clip in the J4U panel.

Just a general reminder to periodically check when you have points expiring.

ie, I have about 200 points expiring on 10/1 so I am going to try and redeem for a whopper or something before they expire.

Same goes for the Wendy’s app if you collect their points.

I’ve done pretty well on this game so far. a 50 and a 75, got one 30 which is an amount I never saw before.

But FWIW, I’d rather get 10 crowns than a dopey food prize I’ll never use.

@my4mainecoons said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

I didn’t say that the 10% vaccine q wouldn’t stack with J4u. I was pointing out that by law you cannot get a coupon discount on certain products like tobacco, gc, alcohol, lottery tickets, etc.

2 j4u won’t stack. So if Zillions gc are 10x that won’t become 20x on the weekend.

Usually Zillions are part of the $10/$10 coupon wyb $50. That’s not 10x points.
Do you have a different offer such that you earn 10x points and not a $10/$10 q wyb $50?

Do you have a different offer from the other j4u stores? We get 4x the value on gc on Sat & Sun.

They won’t stack to get 20x, but I think you’ll get 12x, as the 2x offer is general to ALL gift cards (not sure if the wording says 'can’t be combined with any other offer) but don’t recall seeing that wording. My guess is you get 12x if no wording on the digital to exclude it.

@MrVietnam I elected not to post the valid dates as last time, it messed some people up as the deal dates at other chains were a couple of days different and they bought cards after the deal ended at their chain based on Acme dates. I have the disclaimer in my OP about this to check your local dates.
