Thanks MrC. Good idea. I’m going to try using my parent’s landline to verify… not sure if non-mobile numbers work but that phone# has not been associated w any Q.com accounts. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try the customer service but I think it’s pretty much dead end at that point.

Happy to report that using my parent’s landline worked 👍. They answered the call and text me back the code which I entered into Q.com app for Verification. I also added a PayPal email which now says ‘Linked’ in Q.com app. I clicked ‘+’ on a few grocery rebates [Ben & Jerry’s, cereals, etc]… So is that’s all I need to do to get the $18.xx Savings* balance?

I have 18.xx in the Savings* account on a wifi only phone. When I sign in to coupons.com app w the same email used for Saving*, it requires Text or Phone verification. Now I’m screwed bc when I enter my cellphone, it recognizes that phone has been used for another coupons.com app on a different phone. So no way to verify or is there a work around? Btw, Google voice number didn’t work either.

Also, if I can get thru the verification step, will the 18.xx balance from Saving* transfer to the coupons.com app??

No exclusion on gift cards?

Thanks Mr. C. Tempted to get the 2 ton jack since it’s free after MIR.

Cracker barrel cheese chunk is $5 for 2 this week on sale. Buy 5 and get $5 off - not on the ad but is on shelf tag. Pay $7.50 for 5 cheese pkgs. Ibotta has $1.50 rebate limit 5 YMMV. Final cost is free.

Thanks! Got the nuts to use up $3 in points - they expire at 6 months and its impossible to track when that is. Better just use them up.

@my4mainecoons I’ve never been able to use a Visa or MC GC to buy another GC in Staples. So there isn’t much advantage to get more GC for me.

Thanks for heads up on not being able to use a Visa or Master GC to buy another one like in the past. I tried too yesterday got ‘Not Authorized’. I already have 4x $100 Master GC and don’t want to accumulate more if they can’t be recycled. Damn … the gravy train just ended.

I don’t understand what’s the harm in using a GC to buy another one. In fact, these are supposed to be used anywhere that Visa or Master cards are accepted.

I have credit in SS but not enough to reach threshold for withdrawal. Do you know if they’ll allow redemption?

Fire sale. Cheap tix and bonus - free virus

@kimi said in Get $5 Visa GC wyb one 1L (or larger) Listerine - offer ends 7/13/20 (Limit 1 $5 VGC per receipt, 3 subsmissions per household) - free/MM deal scenarios if purchased at Rite Aid:

It took a while, but I finally received my last two GCs.
Timeline: uploaded receipts 6/15, submitted inquiry regard status 6/24, received ‘sent for further review’ email 7/1, received GC links 7/3.

wonder if you would’ve gotten the GCs without the inquiry. I’m now at day 10 and have not received the GCs … getting worried.

@kimi Did you use the same name and email address for all of your 3 rebates?

I did that and there were issues w the virtual GCs. Just make sure you use up the 1st GC before getting the 2nd one, etc.

@orthros I see a small grocery store on the list but I know for sure they dont take AMEX. So definitely can’t trust everything completely.

1 of the rejected ones happened after I went thru the whole process and uploaded an image of the receipt. I emailed them and more than a week later got a reply with link to resubmit. I used a different wifi and followed the link which only required an image of the orig receipt submitted. will see what happens…

The next 2 were rejected as soon as I entered my address and email on th he website. Never even allowed me to upload a receipt. I went to a store w free wifi today and resubmitted. Both went thru - Yah! … will see if these work.

Update: 1 wk after submitting, still haven’t gotten the GCs.

CFL in 2020?

I only put it in Manual mode with my own # of minutes cooking time so it doesn’t matter what all the buttons do and whether it’s 6 in 1 or 7 in 1. Only real difference is the yogurt button which is pretty useful and not offered in LUX model.

@my4mainecoons said in Instant Pot LUX60 6 qt was $99 now $49 @ Wal-Mart If you don't mind flowers:

No lid holder handles. I might be able to deal with flowers but the lack of lid holder could be a deal breaker.

I have used both the LUX and newer models like DUO. Aside from the black handle part shaped differently, the lid and the rest of the body of the IP are THE SAME.

Having said that, AMZ sold the newer version for $50 last Thksgiving and Xmas so I wouldn’t buy this unless it’s urgently needed.

Thanks for this. I can go to a store and use wifi there. Do you think I can use the address and email from the failed submission?

I submitted 3 last month and got all the virtual GCs. Then yesterday, I tried to submit with my parents home address, diff email and on a diff device, I got an email that says the submission is flagged and rejected.

Yeah, that’s similar to what happened to me. I even used different wifi.
Interesting … HOW?

Got it in my acc. Thank you! I doubt will spend $200 by Aug but plan to buy GCs in the stores.

doesn’t have to be Target. Any grocery store

Nice deal. thanks! Purchased with Reward points which I found out expires after only 6 months account inactivity. I called CS and got close to 10k points back as 1x courtesy.

Thank you! Sweet!

thank you! bought it in case it doesnt go on sale later when April gets closer

is it $1 for $1 though?

Just beware not every BP station takes payment thru the App. So don’t wait till last day in case you have to find another station where the App works. I had to try 3 and there aren’t many BPs in my area.

pretty deceptive- $2 is only FIRST month. But seems like a good deal since calls to Canada, Mexico and China are free.

most Staples cashiers dont let me use another prepaid GC to purchase a new prepaid GC. They always make up some lame reason.

Discover Cashback is 5% this quarter

@mistercheap wondering is the cpn $5 off 25 or simply $5 off any purchase? thanks.

shipping kills it though. any free ship code?

I keep getting these address stickers even though I never asked for them. I know they want you to guilt trip and donate.

Just back from Wally. They sell a 3 lb bag for $1.47. Dole brand, 9 bananas in the bag. Pretty sure varies by location though.

@fivetalents oh…I see. thks

Dang. didnt work for me. Added $66 of bike items all sold by AMZ to cart but no $15 off at checkout.

Anyone know if rebate works on Amazon order? I dont think AMZ puts a packing list in the delivery box if IIRC.

I was at the store and the ones listed on the coupon are not on sale according to the shelf tags. Did you get the other types and the coupon still worked?

@mmyk said in Google Home Mini $5 after iBotta and Best Buy $20 rebate:

I will just return my Mini since I never got the $20 Ibotta credit. Bestbuy allows return within 15 days.

Why not contact support first? They may offer an account credit (it sounds like they screwed up the offer description/terms).
good idea. I just did. hope they respond by Tue since that’s the last day to return it.

@my4mainecoons said in Google Home Mini $5 after iBotta and Best Buy $20 rebate:

@mmyk yes. 4 days. Purchased on Monday, credited on Thursday.
It never showed in my Pending transactions and I never received any confirmation I’d redeemed the offer but $20 showed up yesterday.

Thanks! I bought mine Tues so if it doesnt credit my account by next Friday, I’d better return it.

Anyone got the credit to their Ibotta account? took how many days?

I say a pending next day but it’s now gone and no credit a few more days later.

Check App for digital cpn. Buy a $100 Visa GC [$5.95 fee], pay $95.95.

wonder if diff accounts get a diff deal. mine says you get $10 promo code to Lyft by visiting a Xfinity store.

If I send someone money, PayPal charges 2.9%. I get 5% Discover Cashback, which is profit of 2.1%. Is that right?? Am I missing something?

@mmyk said in Prime Members: $10 off $20 at Whole Foods Market In-Stores AC, Exp 05-31-2019:

Purchase was over $20. Scanned barcode. Nothing happened.

Thanks for the data point. Did you ask why the $10 promo didn’t get credited? FWIW, I’d have the promo website ready on my phone in case it prompts them to manually apply the $10 off. Did you just join Prime for this promo or were you already a member? Also, if you were already a Prime member, have you ever used your barcode in store for one of their previous $10 off Promos? TIA.

Already a Prime member. Have not used 10 off before. I didnt push the issue since it’s supposed to be for NEW MEMBERS

Expired

@thediggler great idea. Will put that on my Fav list. Hope it works for my tire air pump
