I just checked online and it looks like the stores in my area continue to open at 7 am (and I am in CA where Covid-19 is spreading quiuckly) , so it looks like they will clear the store of younger people at 9 am. Doesn’t make much sense, but hey, that’s Rite Aid. It would make more sense if the senior hour was from 7 am to 8 am and then they let the general population in.

May I have a code? Please PM me.

@azzajay said in Free 12 month Hearst Magazine Subscription (Cosmo, Elle, Bazaar, Marie Claire, Men's Health,...) AC Today Only:

@kohlspowrshopper Can I please have a code for this? Thank you, keep safe.

I believe the codes expired already this morning at 5 am ET.

I wonder why this great deal was put in expired deals?

@george2001 said in 100 face masks $39.99 AC at AMAZON.COM:

MASKS!

Apply Promo Code DSW8A5W8 At Checkout

Sorry, looks like I jumped the gun. The code doesn’t work.

You might want to note that the shipping time for you to get these masks from China is 3 to 5 weeks. No Prime delivery option on this one.

Today is only April 4th and this offer was supposed to run through April 6th, but I don’t see it on the.BK app anymore. I guess they ended it a few days early.

The offer has now been changed to a 7 day free trial.

I know unemployment rules may be different for each state. I am in California. The following are some of the weekly questions it asks me in order to certify for unemployment benefits are the following:

1. Were you too sick or injured to work?
2. Was there any reason (other than sickness or injury) that you could not have accepted full-time work each workday?
3. Did you look for work?
4. Did you refuse any work?

I wonder during a pandemic if the requirement to actively be looking for work is waived? I am employed by the public schools here and I have a job to come back to once the schools are allowed to reopen. I wonder for question 2 if they consider a pandemic a reason why I could not have accepted full-time work. I sent an online message asking these questions to the EDD, but now 8 days later I have still not received a reply.

Anyone else in CA getting unemployment? How did you answer the weekly certification questions? Are you actively looking for work?

By the way, regarding the federal stimulus money, I read on several online news sites that they will start direct depositing that money next week by April 15th.

Thanks, MC. I noticed this 100% back offer early this morning, but not that appealing to me now that the ink recycling has been suspended. Not to mention I already have about $1,550 in Forever stamps from these 100% back offers. I used individual Forever stamps to pay the postage when I mail packages. (I better hope the Post Office doesn’t go bankrupt like I have been seeing lately in the news. I highly doubt the government would allow them to go bankrupt. I think Trump favors loans rather than a bailout for them.)

Ink recycling has been suspended for at least a week now already. I wonder what these optimum batteries are? Probably have a long life? I might try them if I didn’t have about 15 packs of the regular batteries sitting in my garage from past 100% back deals.

EDIT: Here’s a little more on what the Duracell Optimum line offers:

Duracell’s most groundbreaking innovation yet. The all new Duracell Optimum alkaline battery has a new cathode system that can give your device Extra Life*—like remotes that run longer—or Extra Power*—like brighter flashlights. Optimum Batteries are packaged in a new slider pack with a resealable storage tray, that provides a more organized way to store your batteries (no more loose batteries everywhere!). Duracell is the #1 trusted battery brand, and we’re proud to offer you Duracell Optimum 1.5-Volt Alkaline AA batteries as part of Duracell’s trusted lineup of batteries. *Extra Life or Extra Power vs. Coppertop AA in a wide range of devices

https://www.duracell.com/en-us/campaign-optimum/

If you are looking for the longest lasting AA battery, it looks like Energizer Lithium golds a Guinness World Record for that:

Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™
Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ AA Battery now holds the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title - for the Longest-Lasting AA battery.

@mrsguin said in Burger King App: Solve Math Equation, Earn Coupon Towards Free Whopper w/ Any Purchase(Mobile Order Required):

Thanks, but I would rather spend $1 and get a free Whopper w/ quiz then spend $6 (for the Whopper) and get a free one w/o quiz.

@mrvietnam said in Burger King App: Solve Math Equation, Earn Coupon Towards Free Whopper w/ Any Purchase(Mobile Order Required):

There is another question now? Anyone know the answer?

Grand Teton + Mt Elbert - Mt Whitney = Promo Code feet

The answer is 13709 (I Googled to get the elevations of all three and did the math).

@mistercheap said in Burger King App: Solve Math Equation, Earn Coupon Towards Free Whopper w/ Any Purchase(Mobile Order Required):

a little hack!!

Get your ‘free’ Whopper for 15c!

I added extra tomato as my ‘any purchase’ on my sandwich for 15c, went to checkout and it processed. Got the whopper at Drive Thru. 15c + 1c tax.

That little trick is like what I told you last time you could do with the two kids meals that required a purchase. You may want to spend 85 cents more to get the 8 piece chicken nuggets, but if you just want the lowest possible OOP the slice of tomato works.

The answer for Thursday’s question (the one that has all the 1s and 0s) is: WHOPPERLOVE

@dangeruss said in Burger King App: Solve Math Equation, Earn Coupon Towards Free Whopper w/ Any Purchase(Mobile Order Required):

I tried to go order some today and failed. Using two phones and two different accounts:
1st store order seemed to go through, but failed after clicking I’m here. I didn’t find out until I drove to the store. Only take out is open, no drive-through, and was a large line (about 10 people).

2nd store wouldn’t even load.

3rd store some error about being not able to connect.

4th store not online yet.

5th store not able to order at the payment screen, keeps complaining about the payment (tried different payment types and phones, so should not be a problem).

If the app doesn’t work right, you can always order via the computer at bk.com.

No free eggs in my account. Looks like the yolks on me.

Looks like this promo is running a second week. Today is Day 8. If you get the question that has musical notes, the promo code is BEEF.

Looks like free or little MM for the Gillette razors if you have gold and have some $9 worth of other items to buy. Buy one Venus and one Gillette men’s razor for about $8 each, use $3 L2C on each one, find about $9 in fillers to get up to $25 and use $5 off $25 weekly L2c and get $8 BC for buying 2 Gillette razors. Basically paying $6 for the $9 filler items and free razors. You could do the monthly ORS hair conditioner for fillers if you haven’t done that and there are available stock.

Rite Aid has 75% off on all Easter Merchandise now.

.77 M&M’s candies pair well with a .75/2 tearpad mq found at Safeway.

I’m sure, unfortunately, they will be only one of many businesses, big and small, that will file for bankruptcy in the coming weeks and months.

One thing I noticed is that most of these type of offers exclude CA. Not that I am a beer drinker because I am not, but most of the cash rebate-type offers exclude CA but I noticed are readily available in the ultra-conservative state of Utah. Go figure.

@my4mainecoons said in TopCashBack $3 bonus WYB $10 at eligible store 4/24/20 - 4/26/20:

My issue with TCB has always been how long they take to pay out.
I just checked my Dashboard and found that it takes 19 wks before money is available for purchases made at Petco. That’s ridiculous.

Even the 8 wks for most other merchants is longer than any other portal I use.

TCB payment going smoothly is the exception to the rule, whether it’s a failure to track, or not paying in their stated time frame, I used to always try to do these weekend bonuses they run throughout the year, but I have been burned by them too many times, that I now pretty much ignore it.

Personally, my favorite cash back site now is Retail Me Not. They often pay the highest rates and they have excellent customer service. If your purchase doesn’t tack or there is some other problem, as long as you have documentation and wait the required 45 days they will make it right and make it right quickly.

About how long was it before it was reported? I hate to have to fight for my cashback!

was in an email sent early this AM, you probably ordered a few hours after I did, so hopefully you’ll get it later on today or by Weds am at the latest.

I filed a missing cash back claim on Rakuten and they were more than happy to credit my account right away. Pretty impressive customer service.

I have quite a bit of money in Souplantation gift cards. Any chance of ever seeing any of that or do I just take the loss? They had a promo every Christmastime that you would get 3 free meals for every $100 of gift cards you purchased. As Souplantation was one of my favorite restaurants for healthy eating, I took advantage of that every year never thinking a pandemic would happen and change everything. I lost about $379. As a gift card owner am I considered one of their creditors so I have a claim? Me thinks I am just out $378.82. Ouch!!!

@mrvietnam said in Souplantation / Garden Fresh Restaurants to close and not reopen:

How much did you lose, ctujackbauer?

$120 and a $10 promo card.

Well at least you didn’t lose as much as I did. Hopefully as this pandemic rolls on I won’t lose additional money at other restaurants/stores. This is the one gift card holding I had that I was worried about the most and now my fears have been realized.

Not only did I lose the $378.82 in gift cards, I lost the value of 4 $10 promo cards.

I think as this pandemic continues, it would be wise advice to try and use up any restaurant gift cards you may have as they seem to be among the businesses hardest hit. When stores go out of business you can usually use up your gift cards during the liquidation sale, but for restaurants you’re pretty much just out of luck.

The last paragraph of the “Goodbye” message touches on gift cards. It says to try charge backs with your credit card.company or wait for possible relief provided by the court in the future.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow signaled Friday that formal negotiations on a fourth coronavirus stimulus package would be paused until early June. This bill is being pushed by a few Democrats in the Senate, but I highly doubt it will ever become law (at least in that form):

https://www.the-sun.com/news/801005/democratic-senators-2000-monthly-coronavirus-payment/

This is totally legit. About thirty minutes later I received a $17 deposit to my Pay Pal account. I bought the product from Amazon (free shipping with Amazon Prime) and it should be delivered on Friday. I plan to write an honest review to make $15.

Thanks, MrsGuin for the passing on the good deal, Much appreciated.

Good deal. Hope it actually comes.

@mocha_jo It probably will show up eventually. Sometimes it just takes a few minutes.

If it doesn’t show up after a while, click on www.pizzahut.com/gradparty while logged in to your Hut Rewards account and you should see it then.

Pizza Hut just called me and told me to bring my ID because they’re checking IDs.

@booksleuth said in Free/Cheap Items with IBOTTA and C/O51 offers (free Bai Bing Cherry & Core Organic Hydration, 5c free for video watch, pick your produce reward):

No Bai Cherry or Core Organic Hydro at our Walmart, keep searching. I feel like the questing beast trying to find a unicorn.

I found Bai Bing Cherry at Vons (Safeway).

There is currently a $3 bonus cashback offer from topcashback that ends Monday night . They also pay 4% cashback on your purchase. I entered the 25% code on my $19.39 battery purchase just to see if I will get both the 100% back and an additional 25% back (even though it seems to exclude you from getting both in the terms of the 25% coupon). I figure there is nothing to lose by adding on the 25% coupon code 28835783. Too bad the offer ends on 5/30, so you cannot use this for your June purchase for ink recycling, but I am sure in June another 100% offer will roll around.

Does topcash look at the order date or the ship date when determining if you qualify for the $3 bonus wyb a $10+ purchase? I ask that because I bought the batteries with the offer today, but it says I won’t get them until Thursday, May 28th. That is a little strange that it will take 4 business days to receive the batteries as it says I have 2 business day delivery.

I’ll let you know how much I get in rewards once they post.

I mentioned this in my 100% back in rewards thread, but I though it was such a good deal that I wanted to highlight it with its own thread. This is an unadvertised deal, but presumably since Office Depot suspended recycling in April this month they are allowing you to recycle 20 ink cartridges instead of the usual 10. Another thing to note is that to get this increased limit this month you did not need to have had made a $10+ purchase in April, just in May. I made no purchase at Office Depot in April, but I got $40 for recycling this month.

I did this deal myself this morning, so I can confirm it is working. It took 6 hours for the rewards to post but they did post. I wanted to confirm independently that it worked before I made a separate thread.

Store didn’t have enough Salon Pas or Pamprin so I got the Absorbine Jr. The ip was beepless. $9 sale price less $2/1 ip and earned $8.

Bought the “VISA Fuel Anywhere” GCs because the activation fee on those is only $3.95.

Hi Mr. V, is this advertised anywhere? the ymmv concerns me as I’d rather not get ‘burned’ trying to buy one and the $10 doesn’t come off.

Also, is there a limit? ie, one per transaction?

Not sure. I saw it on sd. The discount comes off instantly, so you shouldn’t get burned because you can see if the discount came off before paying. You can buy multiple cards as long as you purchase them in separate transactions.

@mrvietnam said in Rite Aid 5/24 - 5/30 (free Pamprin/Midnite 20 ct./Absorbine Jr a/ BC/man Q):

In store Salonpas Gel Patch 6 ct rings up @ 8.79 w/gold and the Pamprin 40 ct 7.43 so that ones a small MM. A great deal if you need to roll bc. Limit is 4. MidNite coupon beeped for me but cashier just put them thru.

You may want to wait until later in the week to buy though as each month Rite Aid usually mails out $4 off $20 coupons (or at least I have been getting them the last several months). With a $4 off $20, you could buy a few Pamprins and it would be a decent MM.

Just like I thought. I see from my USPS mail preview that I will receive my two $4 off $20 RA coupons (my family has two Wellness accounts) today in the mail, so I can get in on the Pamprin deal and make it a MM with the total purchase coupon. Now that was easy!
