@mrvietnam Who offered the coupon, the seller or eBay?
Last month they offered them for $87 to someone probably because he was a new customer.
I didn’t get an offer because I’ve bought from them in the past.

I’m not sure who the offer was from but when I went through the checkout process, there was a banner at the top that offered me $25 off of $50 or more purchase. Not sure if that was from the seller or from eBay… I rarely use eBay these days for the past several years. The only thing I bought on eBay is once a year I bought a box of cartridges, but that’s about it… whoever the offer was from when I saw that big savings, I jumped on it immediately.

On a related note, I am down to only one month left iof empties. If anyone knows of any good deals on eBay for bulk empty cartridges, please share.

I ordered this on eBay just now:

Mix lot of 450 Virgin & Non Virgin Empty Ink Cartridges for Staples Rewards
$97.95
It comes with free shipping in 2-4 days and free returns.
Seller: planetgreenelectronics
99.2% (93.3K)

What made this a must buy for me is when I was going through the checkout process I noticed they offered me a $25 off $50+ coupon (YMMV) and I clicked on it and it saved me $25. So after the $25 coupon and the 3% I am getting back from Am Ex Everyday Blue card, I paid $79.55, or 17.7 cents a cartridge. IMHO that is a very good price nowadays for empties. Since I recycle 30 cartridges a month, these 450 carts will last me for 15 months, or through January 2026.

I just got my receipt approved going through support even though both receipts had the same day and time and were from the same store (back-to-back trannies). What worked is using the language mtnagel used when contacting support about the other receipt having a different number of items and the total being different. Now I will wait a couple days and see if the money is actually deposited into my account. Fingers crossed. Did you ever actually see the money hit your account, mtnagel? I will give it a couple days and if I do not see actual payment into my account, back to Vons they go.

Today I won a coupon for a free Whopper with $3+ purchase

Thanks. I just texted support and said the same thing you did. I will see if it finally gets approved when they ask me to submit the teceipt again.

Please monitor this and let us know if even though your receipt was finally approved if you actually saw the money in your Venmo or PayPal account. I remember with another offer they said I was approved, but I never did get actual payment.

I agree with your moral of the story. I think if the transactions were at least a minute apart all this hassle would be avoided. Luckily Vons has a 30 day return policy if I end up not getting paid back. I guess another moral of the story is to keep your sales receipt and not eat the actual product until you do actually get paid back.

On a related note, I am down to only one month left iof empties. If anyone knows of any good deals on eBay for bulk empty cartridges, please share.

Are these Aisle rebate offers limited to one per person, one per phone number, or one per household? I bought two bags in back-to-back transactions but unfortunately the same time printed on the receipt; however, in one transaction I bought other things in addition to the Pop Chips. They refused the second receipt saying the receipt was already used.

I can always return a bag back to the store, but it is a small hassle I would like to avoid if possible. Maybe because the two receipts both were from the same store snd had the same day and time the computer just automatically rejects one even though the actual items purchased were diffferent proving it is a unique receipt.

I just got back from recycling 10 cartridges and one alkaline battery on separate transactions. On my first transaction of 10 cartridges I didn’t get any coupons back, but on my second transaction of a single alkaline battery I got two $10 off $30 purchase coupons. One of the coupons says it expires tomorrow and the other coupon says it /31/24.

I was just wondering do these coupons that print out on recycling transactions if II use them on other accounts or does it have to be used on the account that it came from?

@ohsheet said in Staples - New Offer STARTS 10/6 Recycle 10 ink carts at store get $25 in rewards make sure offer is activated:

Staples has a new offer listed for this promo in next weeks ad, starting 10/6

The new cartridge recycling offer ends 11:2.

I will recycle my 10 cartridges and alkaline battery today to make my free $27.50

You may want to specify in the thread title that the item you have to buy at the grocery store just isn’t any item but a Taco Bell product.

I was able to price match the batteries with Amazon Fresh. A 16 pack of AA batteries was on sale for $9.97 but they agreed to ring it up as $10, so I got my $30 in rewards this morning ($20 for recycling and $10 for the batteries).

Even before Rite Aid was in chapter 11 bankruptcy their black Friday offerings have been very dismal, so we aren’t missing out on too much

Sad to say I think the glory days of Rite Aid are behind us. I’m glad I was able to fill up a lot of my garage with Rite Aid stuff. I got cheap, free or money maker because I don’t think we’re gonna see that too much anymore going forward.

I am currently sitting on $0.00 in bonus cash so no real need for me to rush out to Rite Aid anytime soon.

I am finding my best deals these days looking at the clearance section at Big Lots. When you buy clearance food items and couple that with their store coupons and paying with gift cards you bought at a discount, it makes for some really good deals sometimes, as long as you don’t mind eating short dated food items.

With the port workers strike that started today we can only look for prices to go even higher.

Cool. Thanks.

I think I will wait until at least Tuesday to purchase to have it apply to my October spend requirement for ink recycling. I like it when these FAR offers straddle two months and the limit is 2. You can satisfy the purchase requirement for both months with a single FAR weekly offer.

That makes for a perfect deal on a Perfect bar. Thanks.

Yes that’s what it is, but I’d start with “Start” or “Offer” to make sure you are eligible.

I typed n “Offer” and “Start” but got no reply for either keyword.

They immediately sent a link to locate their products near me.
Lots of choices.
Gotta check my giftcard cache and decide where to pull the trigger.

I put in my cell phone number and now, 20 minutes later, I still have yet to hear back from them.

@yoregano said in Burger King app Whopper Chef game, daily play through 9/22, win up to 750 crowns:

I got 250 twice, 100, 50 thrice, a couple 20 and 30, and 10 the most, of course, but overall, a nice collection of free points. I think BK has the best and easiest rewards of all the fast food joints. I currently have over 6000 crowns in my balance.

I think I got 20 points each time I played.

I will have to pass on this cashback deal. I just placed and picked up my orders for like 25 cases and I don’t feel like returning it all to Office Depot and getting it back at the other rate. I only got 4% cashback. It will be about $6 I will lose out on. The there are not very many Office Depot stores in my area and usually when they have a deal on water, they will sell out of the water so I am happy to place my order early because at least I’m guaranteed on actually getting the water.

One of the ingredients to put together the Whoppers is mayo, but I don’t see mayonnaise as one of the sauces that I can put on the Whopper. I just say barbecue sauce, mustard, and ketchup. Am I missing something?

It’s a white colored spatula next to the sauces (think on the very left) you spread it versus squirt it.

Thanks, MC. All this time I thought that white thing was a spatula for the burgers . LOL

I went with a $15 Walmart e-gift card. Tracked for the bonus within 15 minutes.

I wonder if buying a $10 Office Depot e-gift card will count as making a $10 spend for ink recycling? I know it counts when you buy a physical gift card, but I will test it out on an e-gift card and report back tomorrow. I already brought in my 10 empties earlier in the month.

I didn’t see any Office Depot e-gift cards on sale at officedepot.com, so I bought a $15 Office Depot e-gift card on Amazon. I got a total of 18 cases of water. That should do be enough for about a month.

I just checked my Rewards Activity page on officedepot.com and I got my $20 in rewards, so it looks like using an Office Depot true gift card (physical or e-gift) (not a return card or store credit) will both count towards your spend and it doesn’t matter where they are purchased from. So looks like, at least for this month anyway, no need to wait and fret if a Duracell FAR offer will come around or not.

Thanks for the HU, MC. We were down to our last two cases of water.

in my area at least an ice cream cone is a whopping $2.79 now. Talk about inflation.

I was wrong about the two cookies. That might be the best option for me. They are only $1.49, so that will probably be the item I’ll go for.

@mrvietnam said in New Sam's Club Membership One Year $15, get $7.50 in Swagbucks back:

My membership doesn’t expire for 5 more months, but maybe because it’s free now I should renew so I can get a free seven months at least when my membership expires in February.

It’s not ‘free’, it’s still $7.50 for 12 months after swag. I’d think they’ll have another promo around the holidays, so wait 2 or 3 months.

Ok. I misread it. I thought the $7.50 back said $17.50 back. Wishful thinking I guess.

My membership doesn’t expire for 5 more months, but maybe because it’s free now I should renew so I can get a free seven months at least when my membership expires in February.

But it is still business as usual at least for now over there in the remaining open stores. I have a $5 off $15, $10 off $20, and a 30% off total purchase coupons that I am just itching to use. I will stop by after work today. I used to buy Oreo cookies over there but the last several months they stopped carrying them. Maybe some of their creditors are worried about getting paid

I used mine on the Panda Express deal that I posted last week, but if you are not big on Panda you have some other good options to use it on.

Or lying

Panda Express is getting expensive. I just went there last night. A 3 entree big plate after tax was.nearly $13. After my discount from this offer I got it down to the $8,xx range though. I would never eat there anymore without substantial discounts from offers such as this.

On a semi-related note, I noticed that Whopper Wednesday for me had increased from $3.00 to $3.99 today.

Yes, that was reported in a thread last week from MC. Terrible, isn’t it?

I just wanted to let you guys know that just as I thought I would I did get the five dollar credit back from American Express for my gift card purchased for Panda Express via cash star. It didn’t matter who the gift card purchase was from as long as it went through PayPal check out.

They should have attached some stellar coupon or some free Bonus Cash to show us just how appreciative they are for our continued patronage.

When I subscribed I got an offer for an additional 400 Swagbucks if I shared on social media, so hopefully this will be a $13 MM for me when the dust settles.

Looks like 500 points are available to be earned in September 2024.

I do not have any rebate visas. Can I just cancel after 35 days when the Swagbucks are credited or must I wait for 6 months before I cancel to keep the reward?

@ctujackbauer said in Like to eat at Panda Express? $38 at Panda Express for $25 wyb a $30 Panda Express gift card and a/ Panda Back to School offer for an $8 bonus card and $5 back when using Pay Pal checkout from Am Ex offers (YMMV) Bonus card offer expires 9/8/24:

@MrVietnam Did you get a confirmation email from AMEX Offers? Panda Express gift cards bought online usually go through Cashstar, not through Panda Express directly.

No, I did not get a confirmation, but that doesn’t mean much. Often when I do American Express offers I don’t get a confirmation email. When I checked out, I did choose PayPal as my form of payment PayPal check out. We’ll see if I get the five dollars back or not, but even if I don’t, it’s still a good deal at about 26% off, I will let you know if I got the five dollars back from the American Express offer or not

To get the five dollars back from the American Express offer I didn’t have to have it go through Panda Express. The only condition is that I paid with PayPal checkout and that’s what I did, so I don’t see why I wouldn’t get the five dollars back.

www.pandaexpress.com

Panda Express is having a promotion that you can get an $8 bonus card wyb a $30 Panda Express gift card (bonus card expires 10/8/24 and Back to School promo offer expires 9/8/24) and there is an Am Ex offer for $5 back when you pay with Pay Pal check out, so once the dust settles you get $38 at Panda Express for $25, or 34.2% off.

And if you have a credit card that gives cashback on online purchases (like my 3% back from my no annual fee Am Ex Blue Cash Everyday card), it will get you another 90 cents off, so I will be getting $38 at Panda for $24.10, or 36.6% off.
