MC, I searched my online order history and it looks like I must have did the RMN offer on August 4th. I had two separate orders for $21.84 each for Duracell battery rechargers, so $39.98 before tax so I am owed $5.60 in total, $2.80 from each order. I will file a claim this afternoon when I get back from work.

@mrvietnam said in 14% Cash Back Sitewide at Office Depot & OfficeMax @ RetailMeNot.com:

Well, I submitted my two claims yesterday about 4 pm. We’ll see how long it takes to get back to me.

Success. All’s well that ends well. In less than 24 hours (more like 18 hours). I was awarded $6.30. I used a $5 coupon on both orders. In one order they game me cash back before the coupon and the other order they gave me cash back after the $5 coupon was deducted. So I got my cash back plus a bonus 70 cents. Just cashed out via Pay Pal for $6.30. Ka ching!

Very impressed with how Retailmenot solves disputes in an expedited manner after the 45 day wait. Even the Pay Pal deposit was made within minutes. Very impressive. I will definitely use them again in the future.

@yoregano said in MCR Coke rewards 4 codes for $2 CVS:

They’ve pretty consistently given out the gift cards in the past for similar offers when they haven’t reached the claim threshold. In fact, the last time they offered a CVS card I know it didn’t reach the level and I still got it.

A while back when they didn’t reach 100% I actually got two $2 gift cards.

82% claimed with 6 days to go

I finally found peelies on both boxes at Rite Aid, so I bought both and submitted for the Ibotta credit and it recognized even the free box of leg cramp tablets, so I got the full $6 back already from Ibotts. It turned out to be a $5.01 MM before tax ($4 MM AFTER tax)…

I too found the boxes of roll-on with peelies at CVS, but they evidently don’t carry Leg Cramp tablets so couldn’t look for peelies on those.

With this $6 Ibotta deposit I now have enough money in my Ibotta account ($25.08) to cash out. I elected to get a $25 Amazon.com gift code.

One day later…still at 85% claimed

Great price of whole blend with IAQ. 2/$7 use $4/2 IAQ so $1.50 each. Hopefully we get a mq to go with it for possible free.

Lysol products really cheap or possibly free if we get coupons or if you have tear pad coupons. They are 2/$5 buy 2 get $4 BC so without coupons they would be .50 each. I have .75/2 Lysol wipes tear pad coupons that expire 11/3/19 so .25 for 2. Hopefully we will have some mq’s to go with sale. Haven’t seen an ad preview yet.

Staples September 2019 ink rewards now available to print

I also had about $4.80 or so in regular rewards that was carried over for several months and they issued me a $4 rewards for that, all rewards expiring 11/30/19, and put my pending rewards back to “0”.

These rewards will be valid during Black Friday at Staples should they have any in store deals.

I should count myself lucky I guess. I haven’t spent more than $100-$150 in a year at Staples for several years now, but yet they still have me as being a Premier member.

@my4mainecoons said in Apple iPad 9.7 Inch 32GB Wi-Fi Only (Latest 2018 Model, 6th Gen), Silver or Space Gray $229 + FS @ Amazon.com:

People have been asking Amazon to price match Walmart so they figured they might as well just lower their price. Now if someone would undercut both of their prices I might consider buying one.

Might be wrong, but I don’t think Amazon price matches.

Wow. That’s pretty expensive. I pay $100 a year for my AT&T Prepaid service on my iPhone 6… I buy a $25 refill card every three months. I am on the 10 cents a minute plan and for Internet I use wi-fi and once in a blue moo pay per use data. I text using iMessage, Facebook Messenger, and Viber.

Glad Trash bags are on a double dip with a monthly buy 1 get $2 and the weekly get $5 wyb 2. The cheapest are $5.49 ($4.39 gold) each so 2 would be $8.788, get $2 twice for the monthly and $5 for the weekly ($8.78-($4)-($5)=$.22 MM for 2 packages. Great Stock up price. No coupons required. Just a note the monthly deal is only a limit of 2 unlike most monthly deals that are a limit of 4. I saw a few of the $7.79 ones tagged at my store as included in the $2 BC monthly but only a couple are listed online.

Also is included Clorox, PineSol, and Liquid Plummer products in the buy 2 get $5 but Glad is definitely the better deal with the double dip.

Nada for me

Can these gift cards be ordered by mail with free shipping? My local staples is closing and the closest one is several miles out of the way.

Unfortunately not. As stated in the OP, this is an in store only offer.

Actually, they might ship free (or for a nominal amount), but they won’t have the Activation Fee waived, rendering the deal moot (unless you have MrV’s 20% Chase CB offer of up to $13).

There’s also an AMEX offer (YMMV) of $10 back on a $40+ purchase @ Staples.

I’m s Premier Rewards member and I did a mock online order and, yes, there was no shipping fee, but there was a $6.95 activation fee tacked on, too.

@couponclippen said in $15 FREECASH w/Text @ Sears - YMMV:

@ctgolfer texted, got a reply but no points.

I haven’t tried it as I don’t have a Sears nearby, buy it may show up as surprise points and not added to your point balance.

@briarycliffs said in SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread:

50 ft Craftsman rubber garden hose

Are you referring to Item # 07162602000? I am at Sears.com and when I put that hose in my card it says I will only earn some cents in SYW points. Why is that?

Plus, save next time with
$0.27
CASHBACK in points

Maybe not much of a loss, out of 29 reviews on this hose, a whopping 18 gave it only one star (out of 5 possible) and 6 more reviewers gave it 2 stars. So maybe this premium hose isn’t all that premium.

@c3 said in Staples 9/29-10/5 B&M only. $200 Visa gc no activation fee:

I turned in my ink cartridges and had my Rewards card scanned. The cashier forgot to add the $200 Visa, so that was purchased in a separate transaction. The cashier did not bother to scan my Rewards card, saying that I would not get any reward for the Visa anyway. I just checked my Staples Rewards account, and both transactions are there, even though my Rewards account number is NOT on the Visa receipt. I have never seen that before.

When you do back to back transactions, they still have your rewards information in the system so I think it just applies to the next transaction also. I have had that happen to me before, too.

Too bad I don’t have any active credit card cash back offers for Staples purchases.

@mrvietnam said in Staples ink rewards redeemable in-store only starting 7/11/19:

Does anyone know if the $30 or more ink/toner purchase every six months to qualify for ink rewards can be done by paying with a Staples gift card? I have some left over gift cards I would rather use up than using new money.

Also, I don’t need new toner now but I will buy it to qualify for six more months of ink rewards. Can unopened toner be stored for 6-9 months without harming its quality?

Found an answer on Google to my question about how long an unopened toner cartridge will last:

Over time, air can get inside the box and antistatic bag in which manufacturers package cartridges, and degrade the ink or toner’s composition. Nevertheless, you can usually still use cartridges from unopened packaging up to about two years after purchase if you store them properly.

@myisland said in Los Angeles Times: one year of Sunday Times print edition and one year of unlimited digital access for $9.88 for those living in Southern California:

Students and teachers can get it even cheaper - as my teacher friend says, it’s part of the the left wing indoctrination process.

Yes, it’s often fake news (but the coupons are real).

Actually the Los Angeles Times is the El Segundo Times, at least that is where they are headquartered these days (not in the city of Los Angeles).

#FREEBIE Check your L2C for the new 1/2 Russell Stover Single Serve Halloween Candy coupon. They are on sale this week 2 for $1, so if you have the coupon in your account, 2 for free. Coupon and current sale price expire this Saturday, 10/19/19.

@mrvietnam said in KMART w/store pick up (or at store) SYW Members, Buy $10+ in Halloween Candy, get $10 SYW points:

Has this deal expired? I put over $10 of candy in my cart but it says I will get only 75 cents back in points.

It’s part of the 10 days of deals, the requirement changes every day. Today it is salty snacks.

Thanks. Water was included in today’s deal, so I got 14 gallons of Smartsense Spring water (75 cents a gallon plus 10 cents CRV) and earned $10.21 back to spend next week. Next week I will use the points to buy 9 or 10 Hot Wheels cars as stocking stuffers for my 2 young sons.

Today’s (Friday, 10/18/19) category is household cleaning. It says all-purpose cleaners. trash bags, and more.

@sonofzeus said in BIC Gelocity pens Free After rebate up to $16-- via mail in submission ends 9/7:

I reached the overwhelmed Bic Gelocity Rebate Lady.
Ms Soz’ check and my check are going into USPS this week.
“and thank you for trying Bic Gelocity”

The check’s in the mail is the oldest line in the book.

the check is in the mail
Payment (whether or not in the form of a check) is en route or will be sent shortly. Often used as an excuse to avoid the pressure of creditors or someone expecting payment.

Retailmenot.com is offering 7% cashback and there are also several codes on that site in which you can get 20% off, too. You can also get an extra 10% off by starting a subscription for the batteries you purchase and then when the batteries are shipped going back and canceling your subscription.

If you are only looking, as I am, to get your $10 spend needed for ink rewards I recommend either getting a 4 pk of D batteries for $12.79 ($10.23 after 20% off code is entered) or a 4 pl of C batteries for $10.49 with no extra discount code entered.

Make sure you have cross site tracking enabled on your web browser. Mine on a Firefox update was automatically turned off and I think that prevented cash back from tracking in the more recent past.

I wish they let you get any batteries like they let you o in the past. I actually need a 9 volt battery for my children’s thermometer, but lately these 100% back offers do not include 9 volts. Maybe with the holidays coming up they will be more generous as they were before.

Select SoCal Residents: Free Pizza Hut 1-Topping Medium Pizza

Pizza Hut via Los Angeles Chargers [chargers.com] is offering select Southern California Residents a Free Medium 1-Topping Pizza at Pizza Hut when you register/sign-up for this promotion. You’ll receive an email containing your unique code to redeem at PizzaHut.com.

Note, be sure to check your Spam Folder for email if you can’t locate it.

https://www.chargers.com/promotions/pizza-hut

I got my rebate check for $9.97 a few days ago. Just as a reference I mailed in my rebate paperwork around August 14th, so it took about two months and a week for them to process my rebate,

This will pair nicely with the 100% back in rewards batteries this week. Will pay for the sales tax and more. Unfortunately, at least for me, Office Depot Retail Me Not cash back does not track as it should, so you have to contact customer service after 3 months have past. On the bright side though they are very good about crediting the cash back once you submit documentation online after the 90 days have past.

For those who don’t know, 50 tickets is enough for 2 or 3 pieces of penny candy.

Penny candy still exists?

You got me there. Nickel candy.

I like how you can go to just about any major retailer for this one. Not tied down to getting it at just one store.

Valid November 3rd till November 16th
Limit one per customer

Weird that the promo period is two weeks, I suspect that might be a mistake if I’m being honest. Use a card that earns at a high rate on office supply stores. There is also an amex offer for 35% back at office supply stores.

Yes, this item must be excluded. No additional subscription 10% discount. Might want to adjust your thread title.

netflix & hulu gift cards get $5 wyb $25 limit 2

There is a new update that once your area gets it will mean you can;t keep the Bonus Cash you earned on a purchase you returned (it used to be the case you could):

Here are the new terms once your area gets the update:

If you void a purchase or return your purchase, Rite Aid will deduct the BonusCash that was awarded for that purchase from your wellness+ account. If you have already redeemed that BonusCash, this could potentially result in a negative BonusCash balance in your account, which you may restore by purchases of other qualifying merchandise.

With the new system you have to call them 24 hrs or more after your return (you must keep the return receipt and give them the trans number other wise the receipt doesn’t even show up on your account, that’s the problem) , and they put the bc back on your account that you used to purchase said return.

I also noticed the other day when I did a return the Wellness points I earned were subtracted from my Wellness points total. That never used to be the case.

Best Buy Mystery Certificate offer has returned (YMMV - Check your emails)
Seems like it is that time of year again…

The email subject for mine was “You’ve got a Mystery Reward to reveal.”

Click the image that says “You might have $5,000 in certificates.” to bring you to the page with needed barcodes

"We’re thanking you for being a My Best Buy member with this Mystery Reward certificate worth $5 to $5,000. Come into the store by 11/6/2019 and we’ll reveal the surprise.:

The email has the link to the page needed to be printed.

1. You must print this page to scan your Mystery Rewards certificate in store. (Barcodes cannot be scanned from a mobile phone.)

2. Bring the Mystery Rewards certificate to your nearest Best Buy® store or Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home® store (outside of Best Buy stores) by 11/6/19. Ask a Customer Specialist to scan it to reveal the value. If the value of the Mystery Rewards certificate is:
   $5–$500, you may redeem it immediately through 11/6/19 at participating stores (not valid online).
   250,000 My Best Buy points (that’s $5,000 in My Best Buy certificates), please call the toll-free number printed on your receipt by 11:59:59 PM local time on 11/13/19.

3. Redeem your certificate in a single transaction with a total purchase price equal to or greater than the value of the certificate.

I didn’t get this offer either.

Does anyone know for cashback bonuses (like now when topcashback.com is offering $5 bonus cashback on a $15+ purchase) if the bonus applies when the item is ordered or when it is available for in store pick up? I want to order the garden hose and get 100% in SYW points AND qualify for the $5 bonus from topcashback, but the hose is only available for in store pick up on 8/22 and not now, but the topcashback bonus offer only runs through 8/18.

EDIT: To be on the safe side, I ordered the garden hose with in store pick up from a store that had it in stock right now, so I wouldn’t have to test out the system. I also got $5 off with freecash, so a little discount there on the OOP sales tax paid. I wound up with $20 in points to use later. If this hose is like the hose I mentioned earlier it is a piece of junk.

nevermind

@gogore said in Master List of Test Drive Offers:

@matadorsamurai
I have, but my Hyundai dealer fought me on it. I had to escalate to the sales manager. I used the same sales rep to do the test drive, and he didn’t turn it in on the second time. You can do them every 6 months per email per physical address.

You are lucky. All the Hyundai dealerships in my county say they are no longer participating.

Same at my store in Costs Mesa, CA. Huge sale on Orientsl rugs and they never carried them before. Hey, if the rugs are 80% off with an extra 20% off the final days, doesn’tthat add Up to free (80% + 20% = 100% off)?

The Sears here has been in business for about 52years at this location. They were one of the ordinal tenets when South Coast Plaza opened back in 1966.I plan to go look over the deals tomorrow and snap a few pictures for. Memories of what was.

It is interesting how they got the last day of liquidation the same for all closing stores in this wave of closings. I guess it makes sense. With all the customers there snatching last minute deals, it made me think how busy I remember this Sears location a long time ago before it became a ghost town customerwise.

Tomorrow is the last day of my local Sears liquidation sale. Most clothes are now 80 to 85% off. Who knows? Maybe the last day they will go to 90%. I got a replacement edger blade for my Black & Decker Edgehog for $5, which seems to be only 44% off as they go for about $9 at Lowe’s. I think I paid more than I should have though. I just put the item number at Sears.com and it comes up at only $6.96, so it looks like I only got 28% off. Probably buying clothes are the best value.

You can get $10 back in points on a $45+ purchase at Kmart, in store only. Offer ends 1/19/19. Points awarded 1/20/19 and valid through 1/26/19. Maximum $10 in points per member.
