Also, lately Ibotta had been giving me 10% cashback at CVS, too. (and it resets).

@mistercheap said in Acme (sister chains?) Save $10 on your next grocery purchase wys $50 in select gift cards (Zillions included) plus bonus points where offered:

Some good sales at ACME starting tomorrow to spend the $10 certs on.

Having their Buck A Bag produce event, Prego Pasta Sauce is 2/$3 with digital. I’ll be able to burn the two I got pretty easily if I want to.

We have the same Prego sale here in Southern California. It won’t be too hard to use up a certificate or two by buying spaghetti sauce, which we will use up in time. I have three certificates to burn up, but I don’t think it’ll be too hard to get rid of them, especially with the sales going on. I’m thinking of trying their lower sodium variety of spaghetti sauce that has 25% less sodium. I wonder if it has the same taste as the full sodium variety.

Are the $10 coupons from buying $50 in gift cards tied to the account you bought them on or can they be used with any just4u account? I ask because I have a $13 store credit on the account. I earned the $10 coupon coupons so if I bought something they would take the money from the store credit rather from the $10 coupon, so I was hoping I could use the coupon earned on one account on another account without issue…

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.

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 noticed we are registering for the alternative method of entry. What do you have to do to enter this contest in the first place, if you are not using the alternative method of? Maybe we are winning so much is because we’re entering daily and people that aren’t using alternative method of entry entry probably aren’t entering daily…

@mrvietnam There’s a list showing the dates that each period runs on one of the pages. Scroll down. The first one ends Aug. 25.

Thanks, Maine. It is nice there are 5 periods. 5 chances to win.

@my4mainecoons said in Ibotta Daily Drop - possibly free money - ends 11/30/2025:

I got $15 yesterday. I haven’t been able to play again since winning. TheT&C says one win per period.

When the T&C says one win per period, how long is a period? Is it through November 30, 2025?

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.

Where would I check to see if this offer is live at my local store? It’s not advertised on the shelf but the last time they had this offer it wasn’t advertised on the shelf either… is it common for offers to go live on Friday? The sales week here is Wednesday through Tuesday…

Posters on SD are reporting it working in West Coast stores, I’d check the thread on SD for more info. and Yes, Acme starts on Friday. That’s a hot deal as Amazon money is rarely available for a reduced price.

Thanks. I tried it in Southern California and it worked. I have an American Express blue every day card (with no annual fee) that earns 3% on grocery purchases so when I added that into the mix, I actually saved 23% on my $50 Amazon gift card…

Actually when I add in the $7 of meat I will redeem my 400 points for, I will have got 37% off my $50 Amazon gift card when the dust settles.

I can’t find that offer here in SoCal.

Just out of curiosity, does the new Acme sales week start on a Friday? That is probably why for Acme this deal started on a Friday. My sales week at Vons doesn’t start until Wednesday, so it might not go live for me until this Wednesday.

@sonofzeus said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

Stopped at rarely visited Jewel to look for Zift Zillions cards that include Amazon. The relevant peg was empty.
I did find the one bottle of Starry Zero on the bottom shelf of the cooler. Submitted receipt. Venmo payment received in minutes.

My receipt was accepted to snd I entered my Pay Pal phone number and chose Pay Pal, but now two hours later, I still haven’t received the $2.49 rebate back. I hope I didn’t put in wrong digit on my phone number in the rebate. Went to someone else.

I contacted customer support and they will make it right.

Hi,

I’m sorry there was an issue with redeeming the offer. If you let me know the phone number associated with your PayPal account I can process this rebate for you manually.

Thanks,

I know that validates are in the body of your post, but you probably should post the valid dates in the title of your thread so people can easily know. Great deal though. Thsnks for posting.

Is there a J4U coupon you have to activate or can you do this deal an unlimited amount of times? If it was like last time, the coupon will print out on your sales receipt and no coupon or activation needed. Good way to get Amazon gift cards effectively at 20% off via buying the Zillions gift card and after $10 off coupon wyb $50 worth.

So I don’t actually have to pay for the Starry from my mobile wallet, right? I can just use a credit card at the cash register and then submit my receipt and since the offer has been added to my mobile wallet, I should get the rebate. Am I understanding this correctly?

Cool. I will have to get one each day August 5-11.

Is this a true freebie or is this free after some other purchase that you must make??

Just recycled for August. Limit for 500 points a cartridge remains at 6. Plus I recycled one alkaline battery for another 500 points, for a total monthly windfall of $17.50.

@mistercheap said in Burger King - Cloud Float app game through 8/7 - Win Crowns or other prizes:

@yoregano Been doing okay on it, best prize 50 crowns, about 50/50 on wins between crowns/food, mostly 25. Food prizes mainly drinks or frozen drinks. I never mess with those.

Not happy about them changing the free fries offer to a $3 min spend. There goes my hack of redeeming 750 for a free whopper, adding $1 of extra toppings on it and qualifying for the fries to make it a nice meal.

McDonald’s offers a $1.69 large fries daily with digital coupon.

@mrvietnam said in 7Eleven - 15$ Off 30$ - with code, Pick Up or Delivery today only!:

These 7NowApp deals are good as long as you agree with the fees and tax charged before you place your order. I was overcharged a couple dollars in tax and still placed my order thinking I could contact customer service after the order and they would make it right. They did not and were adamant the tax charged was correct (which it wasn’t unless I had a 20% tax rate, which I don’t here). I had to make several calls and wasted a lot of time and energy to learn this simple lesson.

dispute the overcharge amt on your credit card next time.

I thought about doing that, but ehen dispute a charge on your credit card you have to dispute the entire charge not just a couple dollars… it’s much easier to agree with the charges before you place the order and if you don’t feel the correct then just abort the order that way there’s no trouble afterwards.

100 crowns for me to enjoy on my next sunny day.

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.

Confirmed at Albertsons snd Vons in So Cal.

Offer still alive if anyone is interested.

@marvomatic said in Peacock New Subscribers: 3-Month Peacock Premium Trial, for Free:

@mrvietnam I don’t watch most of it, there’s nothing to interest me, except Downton Abbey a New Era! I’ll wait til theirs a new offer! A month now, into my free 3 month offer!

Same here. I only get it if there is a free trial and even then I rarely watch it. Not worth paying for.

I heard Peacock is raising their price by three dollars soon and it will become the most expensive streaming service.

From Google AI:

Peacock is raising its subscription prices by $3 per month for both its Premium (ad-supported) and Premium Plus (mostly ad-free) tiers.
The new monthly prices will be:
Peacock Premium: $10.99 (up from $7.99)
Peacock Premium Plus: $16.99 (up from $13.99)
Annual plans will also see a corresponding increase, with Premium rising from $79.99 to $109.99 per year and Premium Plus increasing from $139.99 to $169.99 per year.
These changes take effect for new and returning subscribers on July 23, 2025. Existing subscribers will see the price increase applied to their billing cycle on or after August 22, 2025.
This marks the third time Peacock has raised its prices in three years. According to PCMag, the increases have grown by an extra dollar each year, starting with a $1 increase in 2023, then $2 in 2024, and now $3 in 2025.

@my4mainecoons said in Fetch 100% back in points per $1 spent offer: Dove Whole Body Cooling Deodorant Spray 2-pack at Sam's Club (rr $18.98) Stacks with current P&G Back to School Rebate as Dove is a participating brand for the rebate.:

I doubt that Dove (a Unilever product) works for the P&G rebate. P&G is Olay.

Thanks, Maine. I stand corrected.

There is also a fixed $4.99 Miltons crackers rebate on Ibotta for Whole Foods. It is a 50 cent MM at the Whole Foods in my area,

YMMV on finding it at $3 (confirmed price at VONS), but should be free at least at any Albertsons family store. Limit 1.

You might check to make sure that they carry this product in Club. I went to my nearest Sam’s Club store and the product is only available for shipping. It’s not carried in Club.

I think you can use the app and probably find out if they carry it at your club or not before making the journey all the way to a store. If I was smart, I would’ve done that too.

@yoregano said in Domino's Pizza Large up to 7 toppings $10 with code ends 8/3:

A general reminder to look out for deals on Domino’s gift cards. I find them on sale from many outlets (Amazon, grocery stores, online stores) often at 20% off. You can redeem Discover rewards and get them at 10% off, but they also sometimes have specials where they are 20% off. Basically, someplace always has them on some kind of discount.

Last year I was able to buy a bunch of Domino’s gift cards at 30% off. I bought them at Sam’s Club. It was one of their extreme value deals they have on certain gift cards from time-to-time.

The offer is supposed to run through 8/31/25, but it has been my experience that offers like this will run out in days if not hours, so buy it now if you are interested.

It has to be purchase at Sam’s Club and the limit is 1.

There is also a get 2,500 Fetch points back offer when you buy an 8 count of Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Soft Baked Breakfast bars 8 ct or 16 ct at an Albertsons family store. If you get the 8 ct box, you may be able to get them for relatively cheap. My brother who lives in Texas said he found them on sale over there for $2.49, so “free” for him.

Yes, I am noticing that too now. I should have pulled the trigger yesterday when the price was evidently cheaper because all three coupons stuck. Also, when you try to order more than one, it says the seller has a limit of one per customer. 20 x 30 is a pretty small size. I would prefer one size up, but the cost goes up a lot when you get just a little bit bigger…

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

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.

Well, luckily, I got my gift card when this deal was first posted, so I have my $15 to Walmart along with my $2.58 cash. Thanks, OP

I remember when I was young at triple scoop of Thrifty ice cream was only 15 cents if I’m not mistaken or no more than a quarter for sure.

It is some of the best ice cream out there.

Yes, same here. Because the Rice-A-Roni was only $.99 after digital coupon with a limit of five I had to get four for $3.96 and I only got three dollars back from Fetch. If I would’ve got three I would’ve been three cents short from getting my 3000 points from Fetch back…

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.

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.

Great deal. My kids love to eat Captain Crunch. Now I can get some for half price and it happens to be on sale this week at Food4Less too for 2 for $5 for added savings. Plus I will throw in $3 of Rice a Roni to take advantage of that freebie too. Thanks, ctujackbauer and sonofzeus.
