Good deal. I would try it if my store wasn’t 12 miles away. There is now only one Office Depot anywhere in Orange County and it just happens to be about 12 miles from my house.

@bucktownboy said in OFFICE DEPOT INSTORE DEAL ONLY!! Two Triple Roll pack =6 rolls of Scott Paper Towels $1 (clearance) YMMV:

@mistercheap I just checked the inventory at my store and they are sold out.

Same here. Sold out at the store 12 miles away, but in stock at the next closest store 21 miles away.

Looks like the turn-around time is fairly fast:

Your receipt has been submitted and is currently under review.

You’ll receive an email from quaker.backtoschool@promowatchrewards.com within 72 hours with instructions on how to redeem your $10 gift card — pending verification.

@mrvietnam Please report the $10 Giftcard choices.

I will have to wait until my receipt is approved and then they will let me know what the gift card choices are, but once I know, I certainly will pass it on

I just recycled 6 carts and an alkaline battery snd received 3,500 points, or $17.50, as expected.

Seeing 50 points when you drop a prepaid shipment.
Looking for ideas to leverage this.

LOL, 50 points? Leverage? I’d say your time is more valuable that trying to find a way to leverage getting a paltry 50 points. what’s that worth? $1?

Actually, each point is worth 0.005 cents, so 50 points is worth only a quarter.

This morning I got the e-mail that let me know that I earned the $10 virtual Visa gift card. That was the only redemption option was to get a virtual Visa. Once activated, the gift card is valid for six months…I received the gift card immediately after activating.

Note that this rebate has a limit of one per household.

I found two dollars that Rite Aid corporation owes me, I better get it quick while they’re still in business though. I guess that’s not necessary as the money is now being held by the state of California…

This free after rebate offer at Vons has been resetting for me for the third time now. It’s on sale for three dollars at Vons so every time I buy it I make $1.49. It’s rare that you see these free after rebate offers reset so many times usually it’s one and done.

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.

@mrvietnam said in Ibotta Daily Drop - possibly free money - ends 11/30/2025:

Sweet. I won $15 on my Ibotta account today from the cash drop. I’ll take it.

Wow! Yesterday I won $15 on my Ibotta account and today my wife also won $15 on her account, which I manage for her. Wahoo! Anxiously waiting for period 2 to begin on August 26th.

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.

8 ct boxes of Pop-Tarts were on sale at Food4Less for $2.50 each, so I bought six boxes of a variety of flavors for $15 and just submitted my receipt, do when the dust settles they will be inly $1.67 a box.

Evidently Healthy points and regular points earned from purchases are different. I just got an e-mail from Vons that said I earned 1,200 Healthy points last week, but I do not see them added to my point balance. They are in a separate bucket of points.l that don’t have the buying power that regular points do. It takes 1,000 Healthy points to redeem for a $1 off coupon.

TYSM for the heads up. I got the extra $5, too.

Offer is now live.

Kudos to Staples for offering rewards back on a variety of things and not just AA or AAA batteries like Office Depot did (but evidently now stopped doing) for years.

I have a bunch of Staples rewards saved up. I am thinking of buying a new laptop with my points. The laptop I currently have is outdated.

Is it the “huge” Reward balance that makes one a Most Valuable Customer?
That recently started appearing on my account page.
Site says that I’ve spent $60 this year. I used to spend $1K/yr.
Anyone else have more than $1500 in Rewards? 😋

Anyone else receive the $5 in points wyb $5 offer? I didn’t understand it so called CS. Recording said that as a MVC I would be at the front of the line. Waited less than 2 minutes.

I don’t have nearly $1500 in rewards. Much less actually. It’s very possible that you have a most valued customer designation because the amount you have banked in rewards. With that much in rewards, you better be very careful about your account security because if somebody compromises your account all that could go away in minutes. I would change your password regularly. Now I think for a big amount they require you to show ID when redeeming. Before you could just give any phone number and redeem any amount of points. My household actually has two rewards accounts. Mine and one for my wife, which I manage for her.

@mrvietnam I won’t earn more rewards. I am happy to use our huge Rewards balances to buy Xmas gifts and free ship to our nephews .

I may use my huge reward balance to buy a new new computer, pricematched of course.

I am looking to get a new desktop from staples with my points. any pricematch opportunities?
which one would you say? (not a gamer)

With Black Friday less than 8 weeks away it may be best to wait until then as there might be better deals at that time.

@mrvietnam said in McDonald’s Monopoly game - 10 free entries everyday with AMOE:

I have a question. I go through the process and I get the two codes sent to my email and then I entered the codes but nothing happens. How do you find out if you’re a winner or not after entering the two codes that they sent to your email?

Did you register for Monopoly on the McDonald’s app yet? And are you talking about the verification codes (5 or 6 numbers) or the long string of text and numbers that you have to enter on the McDonald’s app? Once you get the real game code, it will prompt you to use your camera when you click add code at the top, you might as well allow camera, then you need to click the ‘enter code manually’ in yellow at the bottom. Then paste the code and enter.

I’m talking about the long stream of numbers you have to enter in the app. I enter the code, but it doesn’t seem to do anything after I submit it. How do I check if I won I’m anything?

It shows what you win immediately after entering it. On the bonus play, it will bring up a spin of prizes after clicking.

So if I didn’t win anything, then it won’t say anything?

No, you’re getting some kind of error. If you didn’t win anything, it will say you didn’t win a prize (and then refer you to your bonus play.)

Did you click the prompt to allow camera access to the McDonald’s app? You should click yes to allow the camera access.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help. I allowed access to the camera on the McDonald’s app and it started working just fine today. I won a free small soft drink and two free and a biscuit breakfast sandwiches and a double cheeseburger or McChicken along with several properties in the monopoly game. I can’t wait to play every day. I think you can only redeem one item every hour though if I’m not mistaken. Is that true?

And as an added bonus if you order them online with in-store pick up and it takes them more than 15 minutes to have your order ready for pick up you’ll automatically get a coupon for $15 sent to your e-mail a few days later (after your pick up).

@mtnagel said in Fetch: Place 3 Online Orders. Earn 10300 or 15300 points. exp 10/15/25:

Well I ended up finding the 79 cent folders, so I placed 3 new orders and was able to pick them up so hopefully I get the money even though the first 3 orders were canceled. I already got the 5000 plus 100 + 25 for each order (so 750 points). Hoping the 10000 come through too.

You can tell if it went through or not if you go back to the offer and click on it and it will say mission accomplished. If it says mission accomplished, then it’s just pending for the next three months and you’re sure to get it…

Well it said mission accomplished even after my original orders were cancelled and before I ordered more and picked them up. I can see it getting screwed up, but in my experience, Fetch has been good at correcting errors, so hopefully they would in this case if need be. Even if they don’t, I’m still ahead with the 5750 points assuming those all stick considering I spend $2.52.

Fetch has pretty good customer service, so I would just take a screenshot of the offer and if you end up not getting the 10,000 fetch points you could send an email to Customer Service explaining what happened. I’m almost positive they would make it right for you…

I have placed about 4 reviews at Office Depot the past several weeks and have not got credit for any of them. They are not even listed in my rewards activity. Not sure what is going on there.

I misread the Starbucks offer. I didn’t realize it was get $10 back in rewards when you make two purchases, even though you stated that very clearly in your post MC. With that I think certainly you could at a minimum get two items for free, but it could even be a small money maker like you said.

It looks like that offer doesn’t need to be activated, but it just tracks automatically when you scan your barcode at the register.

This is a great way to cash out any Starbucks gift cards that you may have. If you live in California, Starbucks has a website that you can cash out any Starbucks gift card under $10 and they'll mail you a check in a week or two. I've done it many times.

Just back from target Starbucks and they had a small container of apple juice for $1.95 and then they had a vanilla almond biscotti in a small package and I think he said 155 or something like that it was under two dollars. A small bag of potato chips were $2.55 and a chocolate chip cookie was $3.25. . So you could pretty easily make a six dollar MM on the Starbucks offer…

I wonder if the two visits have to be on different days or if you could just make them back to back so you wouldn’t have to come back.

I’m at Target right now. I bought two Kind bars in different transactions two minutes apart and I got the $10 in rewards immediately after the second transaction… The bars are going for $1.99 each so it was a $6.02 money maker for me.

Yes, I got paid today and I got the full $6.99 I paid back even though the max rebate was supposed to be $6.49. Now I will be willing to do other WeStock deals now that I know they pay out and it is legit.

To clarify @MrVietnam you bought the bars at Starbucks kiosk? they sell Kind Bars there?

I bought the kind bars at the Starbucks that was located in the target store. The kind bars are located at the register where some other snacks are like potato chips and biscotti. A poster on SD said you could pay with rewards and still earn rewards, but to be on the safe side I paid with my target gift card…

FYI:

The Good and Gather reward for $10/10 is not valid on DAIRY (cheese, Eggs, milk). It is good on produce, fresh meat, pantry items, frozen, etc. Some of the stuff is way over priced, others aren’t too bad, in line with most stores.

Ie: canned green beans 59c, select pouch tuna 95c, so use your free $10 wisely.

We use a lot of distilled water at my house, so I plan on getting 8 gallons of distilled water with my $10 credit. Each gallon cost $1.39 in my area.

@mtnagel said in Ibotta Daily Drop - possibly free money - ends 11/30/2025:

Period 4 starts today.

I thought there were only four periods, but actually there is a fifth period also that begins November 11 and ends November 30, so we have two more chances to win.

@sonofzeus said in Fetch: 10,000 points when you signup for free Amazon Pharmacy account:

@mrvietnam I am not worried. Why are you?

I’m not worried. I was just asking a question. Because if you did, then I would do the deal if you didn’t then I would pass.

It worked! But in order to get the 10,000 points, you have to submit your E receipt on Fetch to get the points. They don’t just show up automatically. Just did that this morning and I was surprised that I got a whopping 10,000 points for just signing up for Amazon pharmacy for free and not having to do anything else. I probably would’ve got the 10,000 points several days earlier had I just submitted the E receipt on Fetch earlier.

Thanks so much sonofzeus for the HU.

I got this as a Chase offer, too.

Alternative Method Of Entry Code Request period for the Monopoly® Game at McDonald’s has ended

So any codes that you’ve requested previously you can still enter, but you just can’t request any more new free codes.

I won a free mini-McFlurry today from codes that I had requested yesterday., So now I have a total of 57 unredeemed food prizes. I have redeemed 13 food prizes previously, so during this game I won about 70 food prizes in all.

In a way it is good the free entry period has now ended. Now we can all concentrate on redeeming our prizes before they expire in 20 days.

Tomorrow, November 11, is the first day of the next and final period for this cash drop game. This final period will end when the game ends on November 30th.

Answering my own question, but it says the limit is 2 per person/e-mail address.

I got it to work on a cell phone. I just borrowed my wife’s cell phone and it worked fine, so who knows why it wasn’t working on my cell phone but as long as I was able to redeem, I’m happy I redeemed for $75 at Staples and $25 on Amazon I plan on doing the deal twice once on my wife Staples rewards account and once on my Staples rewards account and getting the rebate from scotch two times also

The obvious question is what am I gonna do with $50 of tape, but I think I’ll use it to wrap Christmas presents and then I’ll probably give some of it as stocking stuffers and hang on to several rolls to use in the future. I don’t think it loses it sticking us right away as long as you keep it in a cool dry environment.

I have heard that the three pack of green Scotch-Brite sponges counts for 100% back offer from Staples. I know it doesn’t count most likely for the scotch five dollars back offer but I could buy $25 of tape and then the other $15 I could use by buying three count green scotch brite sponges. Has anyone verified that you do in fact get 100% back when you buy scotch bright sponges three pack green? I guess there’s not too much to worry about if the sponges don’t give 100% back I can just return them. No biggie.

If I didn’t have a small moving box of assorted batteries already sitting in my garage, I would be all over this deal.

I signed up for this offer last night and this morning I see I have five dollars pending cash back on Rakuten. Evidently this $4.99 offer qualified me for the Disney+ Hulu bundle basic which pays five dollars, so my first month will be free, even if I don’t continue it later on. I’ll wait until the charge posts on my American Express blue every day card and then wait a few more days to see if the five dollar credit gets posted by American Express or not. If it does this deal could wind up being a year of free Disney+ and Hulu and a five dollar MM…

@my4mainecoons said in Disney+/Hulu combo - $4.99/month for 12 months - Offer ends 12/1:

@mrvietnam I posted 6% and up to $7 so where did $4.99 come from? BTW, in the Amex T&C it says that it can take up to 8 weeks for the credit to post.

Score. Now my Disney+ charge has posted, I just received a confirmation e-mail from Am Ex saying I earned a Disney streaming credit of $4.99, but it could take up to 8 weeks to post. So it looks like I will be making a free year of Disney+ and Hulu after all. Plus a $5 MM thanks to Rakuten. Anyone with a Blue Cash Everydsy Card should replicate while you got the chance and the Black Friday sale is still going on. It’s not every day you can score a free year Disney+ and Hulu…

The barcode you show at the register is a digital payment and not a coupon, even though in the url it has the word “coupon”.
