Renuzit cones are 3/$3, get $1.50 back. There is a mq, buy 4/get 2 free(up to $2.20). So if you buy 6, you will get the sale price, = $6 - 2mq - $1.50 eb = 2.50 for 6 cones.

@sonofzeus said in CVS Black Friday ((November 28 - November 30) - FREE a/ ECB CVS pantiliners, Wrigley's gum singles or Altoids 50 ct, CVS baby wipes, CVS acetaminophen caplet 24 ct, 23andMe genetic DNA starter kit):

"Buy the Era $1.99 get $1 ECB."
If I apply the $1 ECB to the second jug, would it be free after receiving another $1 ECB?

AT CVS, most items have a limit of 1 on the Extra Bucks, so you would not get a $1 ECB back on the purchase of the second jug.

The $25 back in Extra Bucks wyb a $75 Applebees gift card offer is back, They usually have that offer each year.

We have new App Only coupons that work for a couple of the BF deals.

1. 20ct CVS Health Pantiliners $0.99 - $1 CVS Health tampons/pads/liners App Only coupon = Free. $0.99 MM. The $1 App only coupon should reduce to $0.99. You could also get 2 of the liners for free after $1 coupon and ECB.

2. Speedstick Deodorant $2.49 - $0.50 IP - $0.50 Men’s/Lady Speed Stick deodorant App Only coupon = $1.49. Get back $2 ECB. $0.51 MM. Just so some people dont get confused, theres 2 $0.50 Speedstick App Only coupons. One for men’s and one for women’s. You can only use one of the App only coupons since the ECB deal has a limit of 1. Even if you cant get the $0.50 IP or no MQ comes out in the future, it will still be free after the App only coupon and ECB.

Im just going to remind people not to send their App Only coupons right now. You only have one week to use it once it is sent to card. Im probably to going to send my app only coupons to card during the week on 11/24.

$0.50 IP available for the Speed Stick on coupons dot com. (makes them free after ECB)
$1.00 IP available for Colgate Optic White TP on the Colgate website (mm after ECB)

Finally scanned my card this week - got a $2 Deo crt.

(1) SS / LSS deo 2.49
Less $2 crt and .50 app (or ip)
Pay: 0.00 and get 2 EB

Cvs pantiliners 20ct 99¢ $1 App Only Coupon

I had a $6 off $30 in one of my ExtraCare accounts, so I decided to get most of the freebies in one order and then use those ECBs to get the DNA kit in a separate order along with a 99 cent free item to get over the $30 threshold. Everything worked as planned but CVS taxed me on all of my ECBs and the $6 off $30 even though 4 out of 6 of them were listed on my receipt as CVS store coupons. I thought you were charged tax on store coupons. I know at RIte Aid you aren’t. Still turned out to be a $2.70 MM after the total purchase coupon but I was hoping for more. Now what will I buy in one order to spend the $29.99 ECB I got on?

Be on the lookout for a store coupon for $2 off CVS Health Brand Pain Reliever. It will bring down the price of the free after ECB acetaminophen caplet 24 ct by $2 and make it a $2 MM.

@sonofzeus

No, not IMO, same but the activation fee is higher on the variable load so less of a MM.

PS, don’t think the digital Q works on variable, must be $100 Pre selected value ones.

MrV, Did you actually purchase a variable $20-500 VGC?
Also, the benefit I see to getting the $500 is the Chase Ink 3% back on grocery store purchases

disregard my comment @MrVietnam said it’s confirmed on the variable. only good for those who can max out CC points from it with respect to a MM.

MC, did you change my thread title? If so, why? I put Safeway and Affiliates and I think you or another mod changed it to Safeway, & related chains Acme. Alberstons, etc: I think most people would understand what Safeway and Affiliates meant, don’t you? You should try to not make it a habit of changing poster’s thread titles, but of course, as you always do, feel free to post in the thread and add to the conversation.

I bought 2 $500 gift cards so fat using 2 different J4U accounts. I have Blue Cash Preferred, so for each $500 gift card it was a $32.87 MM (after 6% cash back on $496.95 and $3.05 MM on discounted price due to the $10 off coupon).

I bought one $500 card at Vons and another $500 card at Alberstons (both part of the Safeway family of stores). I think I will wait to buy the other2 $500 cards until tomorrow. (In my household we have 4 J4U accounts).

I just upgraded my Blue Cash Everyday Card to Blue Cash Preferred yesterday. The Preferred card has a $95 annual fee, so I need to charge $3,167 to pay off the annual fee of $95 ($3,167 x 3% = $95). Just this week I will be 63% there after charging $2K. Anything after $3,167 will be pure profit.

The Am Ex rep told me you can only get the upgrade/welcome bonus once and since I got it already I can’t get it again.

Welcome bonus: once (or something like every 7 years). Upgrade: No limit, as long as it’s offered to your card.

Thanks for the good information. The rep checked for me. There was no upgrade bonus available at the time for my card, so I wasn’t able to get any upgrade bonus. I guess I could have opened a second Blue Cash Card and received the $250 and then canceled the Blue Cash Everydsy Card, but I decided not to take that route because I wanted to use it right away to buy $2,000 in gift cards before the Safeway offer ended at the end of the week.

It does expire tomorrow 11/9, but if it’s not already loaded to your account, it’s no longer available to be loaded.

Yes, that’s why it is important to load early. I check my J4U accounts for new gift card offers each Wednesday when the new weekly offers come out.

@ctujackbauer said in Sears is laying off hundreds of corporate employees after announcing 96 store closings:

Sad (but not surprised) that Sears in Buena Park, CA is closing.

But Kmart in Long Beach is still hanging on by a thread - there are almost always customers there, even though it isn’t packed. And it’s a couple of streets down from the Sears in Long Beach, which is nicer and in better shape than Buena Park.

We must live close to each other, I am in central Orange County.

That is correct.

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

Has anyone received their rebate? I’m still waiting on mine. Submitted at end of July.

I mailed mine in right away (about 3 months ago) and here is the message I got when I tracked my rebate:

We have received your claim, mailed form, UPC and receipt and your rebate is being processed. Your check will go out within 3-4 weeks.

Great timing. I will buy a $10 pack of batteries to meet my $10 spend needed for September ink recycling.

Too bad there is no way to monetize Office Depot rewards.

There seems to be only 4 packages of Duracell batteries that count for 100% back in rewards this time around:

16-Pack of Duracell Coppertop Alkaline Batteries (AA)$19.39 ($17.45 w/ subscription discount)
In Store Price $16.39

16-Pack of Duracell Coppertop Alkaline Batteries (AAA) $19.39 ($17.45 w/ subscription discount)
In Store Price $16.89

4-Pack of Duracell Coppertop Alkaline Batteries © $10.49 ($9.44 w/ subscription discount)
In Store Price $10.49

4-Pack of Duracell Coppertop Alkaline Batteries (D) $12.79 ($11.51 w/ subscription discount)
In Store Price $10.49

It looks like Retailmenot once again has the best cash back rate for Office Depot. RMN is at 7% while Topcashback is only 4%.

There is also a 20% off highest item in cart coupon that you could use to bring down sales tax a few pennies and reduce the amount of rewards you will have to spend later: 36098962

And here is another code for 20% off your qualifying regular priced purchase: 63192649

I had made an in store purchase earlier in the month for $1.80, so I got a $10.49 package of Duracell C batteries which were $8.39 after 20% off code with free two day delivery, making my monthly spend $10.19 so I will qualify for September ink rewards. Not to mention in 45 days I should make 59 cents cash back, which will cover a good chunk of the sales tax. Thanks , OP.

@sonofzeus said in Office Depot/Max Free a/Rewards Duracell AA/AAA, C, D Batts 9/22-28:

Buy forever stamps with OD Rewards.
Wait for the USPS price hike.
Sell on Ebay/CL/FB.

Great idea. I already have about $1,400 in stamps. I guess it is time to make an eBay listing.

I have never sold anything on eBay before. I guess you would need to insure the package of stamps in case they claim they never received it, right? Are there any incentives for new eBay sellers? Maybe I could start selling first just by word of mouth, selling to family and friends at a discounted price. I guess I could always leave them to my children on my will. They would be nice antiques to talk about with their children.

@sonofzeus said in Office Depot/Max Free a/Rewards Duracell AA/AAA, C, D Batts 9/22-28:

@mrvietnam If you have the knack, you could sell them to folks in the parking lot of a large suburban USPS.

Maybe I could sell them to the police too who would be coming in to make an arrest. Help pay for the bail.

You could also use code D7GYQ or 9GCAH (instead of the code posted in the OP) and get 3,000 points after you scan your first receipt.

@mistercheap said in $10MM iBotta AMC/Regal Cinemas w/iBotta Pay; YMMV:

@MrVietnam making sure you saw this, I don’t have this offer in my account unfortunately. thx @my4mainecoons

Same here. Although I actually have a lot of AMC Theaters in my area, I don’t have the $15 offer you mentioned in the OP. Bummer.

Too bad it doesn’t run until 9/1 to get the $10 spend needed for ink recycling for September.

I paid by paypal/credit. so likely not. wanted to get the 5% CB via Discover as well, 19% total if the RMN reports.

Probably several days after the order ships and still no cashback pending is not a good sign. Do you think we should give it some more time or file an appeal now?

Hey, MC. I forgot what I ordered in conjunction with this offer? Do you remember the date this offer was valid so I can go back to look at my orders? I must have ordered Duracell battery recharged during a 209% back offer. I rarely make purchases st Office Depot if I’m not getting 100% cash back.

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

How long will it be at that price?

What category on Just4U did you see the coupon?

@george2001 said in Staples 11/10-11/16/19: $4 BACK for recycled ink cartridge (limit 20 if you are Premier member):

Does this apply to Staples Plus members, or just premier accounts?

It applies to everyone. As a Staples Plus member you can recycle 20 ink carts and make $80 this week, as long as you have made your ink purchase of $30 or more sometime within the last 180 days.

This is LIVE now and will last through Saturday for those who have yet to recycle this month at Staples. You can make an extra $40 if you recycle this week (and are a Premier member)., If you are not Premier you can recycle 10 cartridges and make an extra $20.

On a personal note, starting in December I will be waiting until the last week of the month to recycle, so I will not have to forego free money anymore for recycling early and later having a double rewards promotion come out afterwards. Granted these double rewards offers are very few these days, but there is nothing gained by recycling early in the month.

Does anyone know if Staples Rewards can be used to buy postage stamps like they can at Office Depot?

@mrvietnam said in Staples 11/10-11/16/19: $4 BACK for recycled ink cartridge (limit 20 if you are Premier member):

Since I recycled on 11/1 already, there is no way I could get this promotion, right? Even if I recycled 20 more carts next week, they would pay me for the 20 I recycled first. I agree with Maine. I think I will start recycling at the end of the month rather than the beginning. My punctuality cost me $40 in this instance. However, I bet this double credit for cart recycling is only a once a year thing.

yeah, it’s a bummer when that happens. at least OD’s offer is the entire month, Staples should mirror their offer, not this one week where people who already recycled last week get the shaft.

Amen to that.

Success Finally for the barcode to show on Facebook and finally received the e-mail with the barcode, but both took about 15-20 minutes before they showed up. They must be getting crushed with requests.
