I am not finding the memory game. Does anyone know how to find it on the app?

Wow, I got lucky Club memberships are supposed to be taxed in CA, but the Costco website did not charge me any sales tax. So it looks like my membership will cost me OOP $15, instead of the expected $21.01.

Can anyone verify that you need to enter “GOLDEN” as the promo code in order to get this deal? I saw this on Google AI:

To get the $50 digital Costco shop card, you must use the promo code GOLDEN at checkout, sign up online directly on the Costco Join Page, and enroll in auto-renewal with a Visa or Mastercard debit card by August 2, 2026.Offer DetailsCost: $65 for a Gold Star membershipPromo Code: GOLDENDeadline: August 2, 2026Requirement: Must be a new member (or not a member in the past 18 months) and set up auto-renewal.

But on the Costco website I do not see it mentioned anywhere that you need to enter the promo code “GOLDEN”.

EDIT: I just got off the phone with Costco customer service and they sad no promo code is required for this promotion. I wonder where Google AI came up with needing to enter the promo code “GOLDEN” from? I guess it is no big deal as if you don’t get the $50 gift card in two weeks after joining you can always cancel your membership and get the full amount back. Remember you must not have been a member for 18 months and you must sign up for auto renewal to be eligible for the offer.

Has anyone bought a $10 e-gift card on the Dunkin app using the PAZE offer and received the $10 credit back from PAZE?

There is also an Ibotta offer for Milton’s PROTEIN crackers at Target. It pays a set amount of $5.49. The crackers at my Target went for $5.89, so cheap for me but not free. There are also 2 offers for tea-based drinks. One for Lipton Fusion Peach Passion Fruit Lemonade (16 oz) with a 1.18 and another offer for Pure Leaf Mental Focus sparkling tea drink (16 oz) with a $2.28 rebate. Both of the drink offers were advertised as free after offers.

To make your PAZE deal stretch in value, starting tomorrow (Sunday, 7/19) and continuing through 7/23 you can get a small Wendy’s Frosty for only $1 each. So that means 10 free small Frosties after the $10 PAZE offer (you just pay the sales tax).

As a sweet kickoff to this ultimate summer deal, Wendy’s is giving its most loyal fans early access to the $1 Frosty just in time for National Ice Cream Day on July 19. Wendy’s Rewards members can redeem a $1 Small Classic Frosty digital offer through the Wendy’s app ahead of the promotion launching nationwide.

WHERE & WHEN:

July 19: $1 Small Classic Frosty with the offer in the Wendy’s app, exclusively for Wendy’s Rewards members.*
July 20 – August 23: Fans can grab $1 small Classic Frosty at participating Wendy’s locations nationwide in-restaurant, at the drive-thru, in the Wendy’s app and on Wendys.com (delivery orders excluded).

How many Dunkin Donuts gift cards are you allowed to buy per day? I bought my first one and it went through fine. When I tried to place the second order for a $10 gift card it didn’t go through. Is the limit one per day per Dunkin account ot what? I sent the first gift card to myself and was trying to send the second gift card to myself also (same name and e-mail address).

I clicked on the link you provided and I saw no information about the deal you posted. What theaters will be participating. Is it for the Prime member only or can he being his family?

The answer to my question is you just need to search for the movie name in Amazon search and then it will give you a link to buy the tickets on Fandango. You can go with your entire family, but just the one Prime member will get the free ticket. However, I have found out that all the seats are sold out. I looked at several different theaters in my area and not one seat was still available.

Tempting, but I don’t need a membership. I just use Costco cash cards and they act as a membership card, getting me into the store and allowing me to make purchases (and returns). I can also buy Costco gas and pay with my cash cards.

You need to have a membership though to buy cash cards, but I just ask a friend to get me $2,000 worth once every couple years and I am set.

I don’t have that offer either, but I remember when I first signed up for Target Circle I got some similar offer. By any chance, are you new to the paid Target Circle program?

Walmart was my go-to, as well, one of the few everyday retail options. Bummer if it’s gone for good.

I’m hesitant to buy certain restaurant/retail cards because I don’t like to tie up funds unless I’m sure it’g going to get redeemed quickly. And for a lot of these, it’s not as good a deal as it seems when you can get a better discount buying direct from the restaurant/website with frequently offered promos or redeeming Discover cash back with a bonus. Stores like Old Navy/Gap, Chipotle, Panera, Kohls, and Jersey Mike’s are examples of this.

I wish there was a detailed description of Your Choice Gift, Google gives some possible choices, but it’s not clear what stores are definitively available. Also, the minimum spend is $25, not $20. Anyone ever try this?

An option I have done from time to time is Taco Bell. TB cards are not often discounted better from other platforms/promos. This is also a place where I can dumpster dive for receipts to get rewards points. And lastly, they have a “Tuesday Drop” every Tuesday at 2 PM pacific time where they make available a limited quatity deal. Sometimes it’s a contest entry for merch, but it’s usually a discounted food item. Typical examples are items like a Chalupa Supreme, Five-layer Burrito, or Gordita for $1, a big markdown from regular price. The catch is that the offer must be used that same calendar day.

How do you know for sure Walmart is gone for good? When you click on “gift cards” and it takes you to the home screen it still shows the picture of the Walmart gift card, among others. They may just be restocking or something. I guess only time will tell.

@my4mainecoons said in Top Cashback $2.50 wyb $20, one day only: exp. 7/2/26:

@mrvietnam did you give up your other Amex?
There’s an option for Your Gift Choice which sounds like a Zift card but IDK which merchants are included.

I try to avoid paying annual fees for credit cards, so I ditched my Am Ex Blue long ago. I like the free version better though too because it gives me 3% cashback on online orders and a free Disney+/Hulu subscription.

I wonder if the Your Gift Choice card has a minimum amount to purchase or if you can redeem for that option for whatever amount you want to buy it for.

TCB used to (perhaps as late as a few years ago) give you $3 cashback with a $15 spend, but I guess those offers are gone forever. Now they give you less money back for a larger purchase, but something is better than nothing.

@mtnagel said in Paze Spend $10, get $10 back* —up to 10 times when you use Paze® checkout, offered by banks and credit unions. Now through 9/10/2026.:

I didn’t say Visa wouldn’t get the credit, just that I haven’t seen anyone say they got the credit when using a Visa.

Let me be the first to let you know that now someone (namely me) gor the credits back and I paid with a Visa card (from Chase).

@mrvietnam said in Paze Spend $10, get $10 back* —up to 10 times when you use Paze® checkout, offered by banks and credit unions. Now through 9/10/2026.:

I made two purchases at Wendy’s today using Paze. . I will post when and if I receive $10 credits back for each of my trannies. Might as well test it out. If I get the credits I will certainly do more transactions.

As promised, I am posting to let you guys know I did receive my $10 credits back from PAZE a couple days ago from using my Chase Visa card at Wendy’s. It took 9 days for me to get the money back from the day I made the purchase. I never contacted PAZE. I was just patient and the credits eventually came.

I am looking forward to milking this offer for as much as I can get back from it. Debit cards also work by the way. The $10 or more needed purchase is AFTER TAX. Today I will be taking my family out to Wendy’s again for a nearly free lunch.

@mrvietnam Why not Disney? Don’t you have a trip planned?
I bought Shaws egc and used 4 of them to buy a $75 Chewy gc and received the $15/$15 grocery q last week. YMMV
Even if you use the Albertsons (?) gc.for groceries its a better discount than the 6% your Amex gives.
If you get another pet then you can get PetSmart, Chewy & Petco gc. 😉

I only have the Am Ex Blue Everyday card (no annual fee) that gives 3% back at grocery stores. However there is a AAA credit card that you can get that gives 5% back at grocery stores and 3$ back at club stores like Sam’s Club and Costco all for no annual fee) that I will be applying for soon. It is called the AAA Daily Advantage Visa Signature® card.

@impasse said in EBAY to end EBay Plastic/Digital Gift Cards Aug 3, see post for details (current GC's will not expire):

ugh damn, no more 6% back at ebay with my blue cash preferred

I have been doing better than that by buying them at Target. They often have offers like my current offer from them: make 3 $40 purchases and get $15 back in rewards and then I pay with my Red Card and get an additional 5% off to make for 15% off 3 variable amount ($50) e-bay gift cards (For their eBay variable amount cards Target only lets you choose $15, $25, $50, etc. - no $40 option or else it would have been a 17.5% discount after the dust settled).

Well, I was going to get Staples because it is always nice to have a little money at Staples so I can pay for amounts remaining after I use my rewards points to buy something, but then I saw they had Albertsons gift cards, so I went with that option instead as food is the way to a man’s heart. So 16.5% off $20 at Albertsons it is. Hopefully they are just restocking Walmart/Sam’s Club gift cards and they will continue to be an option for future TCB bonus offers.

I would usually buy my go-to gift card for this offer, which is a Walmart gift card. Upon looking, I see TopCashBack gift cards do not carry Sam’s Club or Walmart gift cards anymore (or at least right now). I wonder why. What gift cards are you guys getting? I am open to suggestions.

Thanks for sharing about the P&G rebate. That will put a cherry on top of this good deal already. I did the offer twice as I and the Mrs. each have a Fetch account so if they have a $50 purchase option to get a $15 rebate I might just try to find about $18 in receipts and go for the higher rebate.

Today I got my $15 Procter & Gamble rebate card in the mail, so this deal was very good to me. I got $50 of nearly free after Fetch Tide producte, and then for good measure I got a $15 rebate card on top of that so it came to better than free.Tide.

Deal still valid. It says it was extended for Prime Day.

I don’t have the 30,000 Fetch points offer when you join Sam’s Club with a $15 membership. Probably because I have a current Sam’s Club membership that has the same email address as my Fetch account. I think I’ll check my wife’s Fetch account and see if she gets the offer. She has been a member of Sam’s Club in the past several years ago, but not now.

EDIT: I just checked my wife’s account and she doesn’t have the 30,000 fetch points offer either, and she hasn’t been a member of Sam’s Club for several years. So that’s why I think this offer may be regional or maybe if your email address or phone number? havr ever been a member of Sam’s Club at any time in the past you don’t get this offer.

People are posting they got credited for charges last week but only if you used a mastercard. I’ve only used Visas so far as that’s the majority of my cards.

The offer didn’t specify you had to use only a Mastercard. I used a Visa card for my two purchases, so if I don’t get the $10 back, I think I will contact PAZE and talk to Customer Service.

According to Google, it shouldn’t matter if you use a Mastercard or Visa or any other eligible credit:

No, you do not have to use a Mastercard. Any eligible U.S. credit or debit card from a participating bank or credit union (such as Chase, Capital One, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, and U.S. Bank) can be used to qualify for the promotion.

Got my free cookie this morning. In my parts it was supposed to be worth $3.45. My brother in Texas said over there it is only $1.99 regular retail.

I made two purchases at Wendy’s today using Paze. . I will post when and if I receive $10 credits back for each of my trannies. Might as well test it out. If I get the credits I will certainly do more transactions.

I signed up my two Bank of America credit cards and my Chase credit card, so I think I could get back up to $300 in statement credits,

You have to be careful as not all banks are participating and the participating merchant list is not that great (yet). People on SD reported they got in on this deal this morning and bought $10 digital gift cards at Newegg, so basically they got free money to spend at a variety of merchants, but Newegg has since closed that loophole down and is not allowing Paze digital wallet purchases for gift cards anymore.

It looks like I will be using Paze on online orders at Wendy’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Dominos. It should be noted that Paze cannot be used to pay in store, so in order to use it you have to order online at the merchant’s website and then go into the store to pick up your food…

No longer working for 3rd party gift cards
Still working for NewEgg gift cards

Per Paze spokesperson:
“I want to let you know that because usage has become heavily concentrated at one merchant, we are clarifying the program’s eligibility for certain transactions to better align with the original goal of driving broad, sustained adoption. This promotion was designed to introduce cardholders to Paze and encourage them to use it as a convenient checkout option across many online retailers over time.
Practically, what this means is that consumers will no longer be able to purchase third-party gift cards through Newegg with this promotion.”

The spokesperson also confirmed that orders placed from yesterday until today, when Newegg stopped allowing Paze for 3rd-party gift cards, will be honored as per the original promo terms. Per the terms, it can take up to 2 billing cycles for that credit to post to your account.

In for my 13% discount on $20 at Walmart. Thanks.

@kimi said in Albertson's and Related Grocery Chains: Earn a $15 Grocery Voucher wyb $75 in Home Depot, Petsmart, Chewy,Door Dash and More Gift Cards:

Don’t forget to factor in the grocery points. if you buy $300 (4 trannys) you’ll earn 1200 points on the 4x Weekend offer. good for another $20 in groceries.

As of June, I no longer have the ‘1200 points for $20 in groceries’ redemption offer. The highest I have is ‘700 points for $10’. bummer

They also added offers for on-line ordering, such as ‘200 points for $3.95 off delivery’.

Not sure if these changes are account specific or chain/region specific.

I am in Southern California and I too only have the highest redemption offer for free groceries at 700 points for $10 of free groceries. Looks like the $20 option is no longer available for any of us.

You said the offer starts at ACME on June 12th, but I wonder when it starts at Vons ad Albertsons stores in Southern California. Those stores have a Wednesday through Tuesday sales week. I don’t see it mentioned in the current week’s ad that started yesterday.

Too bad this offer is not good for Zillions.gift cards. I want to buy some Amazon gift cards, too.

This deal will work great for us as we’re planning a Disneyland trip later this year and getting 23% off the tickets would be much appreciated (20% from this deadline and an additional 3% cashback by paying with my Am Ex Everyday Blue card). So the cheapest $104 Disneyland ticket will drop to an $80.08 Disneyland ticket.

@mistercheap said in Ibotta 10% cashback on total purchase at CVS on some accounts:

This deal is still going on, currently have a 2% and 6% offer in my two accounts.

A little extra money just for visiting CVS and finding receipts. Found a $42 last week on the 6% earned about $2.50. I’ll take it.

Yes, two weeks ago i got 10% cash back on one Ibotta account and 6% on the other. The percents will vary, so you should check to see what your percent back is then look for those abandoned receipts. Now my offer is down to 2% and 6%.

No need to find $18 of receipts on the ground because they had the Tide pen offer and I got one on each account so I’m gonna get $15 back in rebate money for all the Tide Fetch freebies combined.

I only have an offer to earn $20 in circle rewards when I make three purchases of $60 or more. I guess the overall offer is similar to the one you posted as you get twice the rewards, but you have to spend twice as much in those three transactions too.

There are currently two 1000 points equals one dollar deals for certain Tide products bought at Target only. I am not sure how long the offers will last, so I recommend to get them soon if you’re interested. Both have a limit of one the Tide ultra oxy stain remover spray costs about $5 and the Tide washing machine cleaner costs about $12…

As for the water, that seems like a fair deal. However, I buy my water now at Sam’s Club. They give you a 40 count package for $3.99. I think Costco sells their water for the same price.

It looks like the deal that you posted is slightly cheaper. With your deal a bottle comes to 9.3 cents each by buying them at Costco or Sam’s Club they come to 10 cents each.

Also this week they have the Walgreens brand plastic storage bags on sale for $.88 a box. Yesterday I got the snack size, sandwich, size, and quart size bags. In the snack size and sandwich size boxes they give you 50 bags but in the court size they only give you 20 bags.

I just got some more great Capital One offers. I got a spend $30, get $25 back for Best Buy and a spend $20, get $20 at Home Depot. I also got a spend $5, get $5 at both Chewy and Office Depot.

I am using their card and I am also using the link on the offer just in case I have to go through that link for it to track.

Since they charge for shipping with my type of membership, I plan to order online with curbside pick up and hopefully that will work. Curbside pick up is free.

I will update this post within 45 days and let you know if I got my cash back or not. It will come in the form of rewards to the credit card.

@niniss said in Capital One Offers: Sam's Club, spend $15, earn $15 online only - eBay, spend $15, earn $15 online only (you must go to the merchant from the link on the cashback offer):

I see those capital one offers often but I never quite understood it so never used it. Do I have to use their card to pay to make it work or can use any other other cc? Thanks in advance!

I have never done a Capital One cashback offer either, but these offers are too good just to let go by. The way I understand it is you have to use the Capital One credit card the offer was attached to. I think within 45 days they will give you the cashback in rewards to the credit card you used.

I usually shop at Sam’s Club and eBay anyway, so I might as well use the Capital One card to see if I get the cashback eventually or not but if not, it’s no big loss as it would be money I would be spending there anyway.

I saw these offers on my Capital One Quicksilver credit card. I do not see an expiration date listed.

I just recycled a coin battery. No $2.99 charge but no credit either.

I am in Southern California and I just recycled my 6 ink cartridges and one AA alkaline battery and I got 3000 points, so I got 500 points for each of the cartridges but no points for my alkaline battery and they didn’t charge me any fee luckily.

I just read on the Staples subreddit, the $2.99 fee is waived if you purchase a battery at the same time.

The fee is waived if you purchase batteries in the same transaction. And you can price match (to Walmart, where they’re half the price).

I recycled a computer yesterday and received the points. The cashier listed it as a monitor.

Interesting. Thank you for testing it out. I wonder what other tech items they will give points for, even without having an offer on the app. I will recycle ink cartridges later today and try to recycle a battery and see if they impose a $2.99 charge or not. If they impose a charge, then I won’t recycle the battery but if not, I will and I’ll see if I get any points. From what I’ve read the fee might only be in certain states and not everywhere.

It’s kind of funny that Staples will make changes like this and not even tell the customers beforehand and just let them get to the store and find out. Seems like pretty poor customer relations.

So it looks like pts for tech recycle is totally gone? I read the initial comments and recycled a battery yesterday, no pts since I already did it in April. Now the tech recycling offer is totally gone from the app offers. Assume recycling an old cable won’t even get the ‘other tech’ pts now either.

That is what I am thinking too. I think now the points for recycling program may be limited entirely to ink and toner cartridges recycling. I guess one could test it out by recycling something “other technology” and see if they get any points.

@mrvietnam May 2. I checked yesterday.

So then I have no case. I just assumed the offers were monthly. I won’t waste my time calling then. I have about 100 used AA batteries I will be throwing away soon as I can’t get rewards points for them anymore.

It looks like the only thing you can tecycle at Staples going forward are ink cartridges. I say that because as of this morning I only see a recycling offer for ink cartridges.

I wouldn’t be surprised if later this year they get rid of the ink recycling also. I’m with Mistercheap. Nothing would surprise me at this point as they make changes and don’t tell the customer in advance, kind of make changes.with no prior notice to their customers. Good thing I don’t have a box of three or 400 cartridges that could become worthless if they have plane to scrap the recycling program.
