No good surprise offers for me. Just have a $17 off $100 and a $10 off $50.

@my4mainecoons said in Rite Aid 10/29 - 11/4 (Free Remfresh a/ pp and man Q):

Word on the street is that Remfresh isn’t giving PP.

Since Remfresh is advertised this week in their ad as giving Plenti points, a simple call or chat to Plenti customer service would give you the points or at least get the ball rolling so eventually you would get the points. I’m not planning to buy Remfresh because even getting it for free and just paying sales tax is a waste of money (to me at least) if it is for something I know I don’t need or want.

@my4mainecoons said in Rite Aid 10/29 - 11/4 (Free Remfresh a/ pp and man Q):

If you’re looking to burn points this would be a good week to buy paper towels (Bounty) then submit for the AARP P&G rebate Mr. Cheap posted.

For those who are interested in the P&G rebate and happen to be a member of AARP and get their magazine, here is Mister Cheap’s link about the rebate. Also note that the $50 spend is AFTER coupons are applied. This week there is a get 1000 pts ($10) wyb $30 limit 2 offer on several P&G products, so if you spend $60 worth and did not use manufacturer coupons, you could get $20 back in pp from the Rite Aid offer and $15 from the MIR offer (given you are a member of AARP or at least have access to someone’s AARP magazine). So that would mean you would get $60 of product (plus tax) for just $25.

These are all 3 day deals, from Thursday, 11/23 through Saturday, 11/25. Rite Aid stores are typically open on Thanksgiving Day, so that is the best time to shop if you want the items to still be in stock.

MrVietnam, i was just wondering if you were continuing with the Rite Aid weekly post. Really missed your weekly posts at FW. I stopped going to Rite Aid after the FW shut down. Without your weekly post, i literally have no clue what to buy at RiteAid. lol

Yes, that is my plan to continue with the Rite Aid weekly posts. The trouble is the deals have all but evaporated over there. Unfortunately it is not like how it was several years ago when there was a whole list of freebies and MMs each week, but I like the idea of having a weekly thread so we can all share what weekly and monthly deals that are there and a place where we can talk things Rite Aid. Some (maybe many) of us have a lot of Plenti points and are looking for ways to either redeem them or roll them. All though Rite Aid’s Black Friday ad has been better in the past it is still full with quite a few deals and some freebies.

@lorenw said in Office Depot rolling rewards ? YMMV:

@trudi said in Office Depot rolling rewards ? YMMV:

I rolled rewards with batteries a couple times, I’m new to OD and didn’t realize it was a special feature of just the batteries though. I tried it with labels a few weeks ago and that did not roll. I wonder why batteries are special.

From what others have said in various message boards, it is the difference between a set $ amount on a rewards, vs 100% back on reward

The batteries say, $15.98 back on rewards, so in theory that is the magic phrase to look for

So having a set dollar amount back in rewards looks like is the phrase that pays.

Do you think if I paid completely in rewards for a set dollar amount back in rewards would I earn the full rewards offered? I was afraid to try it with the order I placed today. I only used about $12 in rewards.

I’ve heard that rolling rewards works for battery purchases for some time now. I am not sure exactly t works, but it does. Thanks for the idea of ordering online with the Ebates 3% and the 30$ off a $30 order code. I think I will do the same thing.

The one thing I am not sure about though is if you can pay completely with rewards or if it is important to pay some by credit card in order for the rolling to happen.

Not bad. I got two packs of Duracell batteries for free, rolled some rewards, and made $8 with the 3% and 30% off offer. Thanks OP.

Will the Coke site keep track of how many codes you entered or do you have to enter all 10 at one time? In other words, can I bank codes towards this offer?

While you are there, don’t forget to grab your Jergens lotion!

I know this belongs in the Grocery & Drugstore forum, but I mistakenly posted it in Hot Deals. I have contacted a mod to move it.

Anyone know if Target gives overage as long as you have another item in your order to absorb the overage? I know 2-3 years ago I got some nice overage using free 12 pack coupons from My Coke Rewards, but that was a while ago and maybe things have changed.

Unfortunately I do not have the targeted offer on either of my Plenti cards, but Persil just for tax is a good deal.

@cows123 said in You can recover your eBates $2 "maintenance fee" if you ask nicely:

This is the company (Rakuten) that also took us for highly overpriced 3DConnect memory cards via Buy.com.

Exactly. I got stiffed for a lot of money during that fiasco about Buy.com not paying up on any of the rebates.

I was at Sam’s Club today in Fountain Valley, CA, and the freeosk had another sample, not Rice Kripie Treats. Maybe they are just slow about switching it out with the new sample. I will check again the next time I happen to visit.

@surrealuv said in $5 Walmart eGift card with $10 Select Pepsico FLAVORS (Mug, Crush, Twist, Brisk Tea) Purchase:

Curious to know if ANYONE got an image to be approved after upload.

Yes, I got my image approved and my code was delivered via e-mail about 10 minutes after I submitted it. Instead of taking a picture of it with my smartphone, I scanned an image of the receipt on my computer and did it that way.

Just on a side note, when it says Crush, it doesn’t have to be just Orange Crush. It can be any in the Crush family of drinks: Pineapple, Strawberry, etc. I had a Pineapple Crush in my order and it was approved with no difficulties. I got 2 liter bottles ($1 each) but you could also get cans if you so desired.

There is also a $2 off coupon that you can download coupon for the Pringles variety pack, making it also $3.99 after digital coupon.

I did this deal this morning at Food4Less and it worked flawlessly. You don’t have to do separate $10 orders. As long as you get $10 or more, it will take off 50% from everything.

Actually not much of a deal. I was at Kroger’s Food4Less and a family size Cheez-Its were $5.99, so the price would only be dropped to $4 after digital coupon. I guess it is an OK deal if you like Cheez-Its.

Save $2.00 on Cheez-It® Family Size Crackers when you buy ONE (1) Cheez-It® Family Size Crackers, any flavor (19 oz. or larger). Download your coupon from October 18 - October 21, then redeem on October 21st ONLY. Use up to 5 times in a single transaction.

Exp 10/21 Today!

This deal has now expired.

Wow. 50% off soda. I an my dentist thank you.

Just a heads up. This comes in a bag and not in a can.

@vegasvegan said in AmEx Offer: Spend $99+ On Amazon Prime Membership & Receive 5,000 Membership Rewards:

@marcopolomle Thanks got the offer. Noticed a little different wording on this one.
You need to buy by 1/31/18 but points wont be dolled out until 3/2/18 (within 90 days).
I’m guessing the month extra is to try and deter people from from cancelling Prime and keeping points.
Even though you can get a refund if you don’t use any prime benefits. Usually says they will be dolled out at the time the offer expires (within 90 days)

Now I have to find out if it will work on Gift of Prime. Doesn’t exclude it by name but does say “does not apply to other Amazon memberships or subscriptions including but not limited to monthly Amazon Prime membership, Amazon Fresh, Prime Video or Prime Student”

Even though in the terms it says you won’t get your 5,000 Membership Rewards points until within 90 days of 3/2/18, I just got my 5,000 MR points this morning (I subscribed to Prime 4 days ago).

@kdn102 You just go to www.amazon.com/pin and it will take you to Amazon Video Settings page and on that page it will give you the option to set a 5 digit PIN. Scroll towards the bottom of the page, Enter a 5 digit PIN, Once you click “Save” the changes go into effect immediately. You also have to click “Yes” on the “PIN on Purchase” option (the default is the “No” setting). I tested it out minutes after I updated with a PIN and Yes on PIN on Purchase and sure enough it asks for the PIN when trying to buy video content. So now I can open video content freely in Amazon Prime and the only time it will ask me for a PIN will be for content requiring additional payment.

By the way, please note this is only for video content purchases. I also have an Amazon Echo and I have turned off voice purchasing already. You have to go to alexa.amazon.com and click on “Settings” and then click on “Voice Purchasing” and you can turn voice purchasing on or off there.

So happy to say my Amazon ecosystem components are childproof.

The free video content on Prine isn’t as extensive as I had hoped, but when you combine this video service with the music service and with two day Prime shipping, $56 for a year is a steal. I also have Hulu, so with both services combined there are a lot of shows to watch, with some overlap of course. Thanks OP.

@mrvietnam said in AmEx Offer: Spend $99+ On Amazon Prime Membership & Receive 5,000 Membership Rewards:

One thing I noticed about Amazon Prime is many of the videos on their service you have to buy on an episode by episode basis or an entire season basis, so not only do you have to pay once for Prime but once you pay you have to pay again to get some content.

I have Amazon Prime on my Samsung big screen smart TV. Does anyone know if my 5 year old gets a hold of the remote can he just buy episodes at the press of a button or is their some PIN that has to be entered first? I have a large banked Amazon gift card balance on my account but I would rather not use it up by having my son buy shows without my knowledge at the press of a button.

You can set a pin when using Fire Stick or Fire TV, but I don’t know how it will work on your Samsung. I’m assuming you will still have to go a few pages, like 3, to finalize the purchase.

I called up Amazon one more time just to make sure what the first rep told me was correct about not being able to set a PIN for video purchases and sure enough the first rep was wrong. The second rep I called transferred me to the Amazon Video department and there was an easy way to set a 5 digit password onto my account to prevent unauthorized purchases. The rep told me that when he chooses free content that is included with my Amazon Prime membership it won’t ask for a PIN. The PIN will only be required for content that costs additional money. That gives me some peace of mind. Now I can let my son use the remote again.

@mrvietnam said in Free Hertz Gold Plus Rewards President Circle Status:

I am a little unclear. Once logged into the website where do you find the CDP section? Also, what special benefits does the President Circle status provide? Does it last a year and then expire or is it good indefinitely?

I figured it out. You click on “My Account” rom the top right and then you click on “Edit” Personal Details and at the bottom of that section there is a place to enter the CDP code. After I entered the code it said “LH Senator”. I wonder what that means. It still shows me as a Gold Plus member though and no where does it mention I belong to the President Circle.

@elguache said in AmEx Offer: Spend $99+ On Amazon Prime Membership & Receive 5,000 Membership Rewards:

My membership doesn’t expire until next year. Can some one figured how to add another year? I can’t find a way to do it.

I don’t know if you can do that. Why don’t you just cancel for a short time and then resign up under this offer?

Too late for me but I noticed you can also get $15 cashback in the form of an Amazon gift card when you sign up for Prime through topcashback.com:

Amazon Prime
$15 Amazon Gift Card When You Sign Up For Amazon Prime For $99! T&C’s Apply.
Excludes: Existing Prime Members, Amazon Student

There is also a $3 October bonus offered when you spend $10 of more at topcashback.com (offer must be activated before your purchase)

@my4mainecoons said in $35MM Zyrtec at Rite Aid on Sat. 10-14, FnF day 30% off:

2000PP wyb $75 Allergy (year long, unlimited)

Is this something I need to activate beforehand or is it automatically on my Plenti account? If I need to activate it, how do I do it?

Also, does the 30% off coupon have a unique barcode or can I just print out how many I need?

Are you sure when I redeem a $7 cat I will get another one in the same order?

Good luck on finding enough stock.

I just subscribed to the $99 Amazon Prime, but they charged me $106.67. Bummer. I guess they charge sales tax on Prime memberships now. I am in California, but still only $56.67 after the $50 in Membership Rewards points, or about 15.5 cents a day. Upon further research I found out the following:

About Sales Tax on Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is subject to tax in the following (31 of the 50 states):

Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
District of Columbia
Florida (Communications Services Tax only)
Hawaii
Idaho
Iowa
Kentucky
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

Great find. I was planning to wait until Black Friday when there is often a $20 discount given for a new Prime membership, but this $50 back in Membership Rewards points deal is much better. A year of two day shipping so I can work down my large Amazon banked gift card credit balance and the Prime video content for my Samsung big screen. Not to mention the free music I can play over my Amazon Echo. Wahoo!

At Target in-store only: 3 box pack Capri Sun (30 ct) Value Pack for $1.79 each. That makes each pouch only 6 cents. The ones I bought today don’t expire until mid-July next year (2018).

Idea: Hand out at Halloween in lieu of candy

203160092 (Strawberry Kiwi) & 203160093 (Fruit Punch)

You might want to call first just to see if they are in stock as many stores are sold out now, One of my local Target stores had 8 30 ct packs of Strawberry Kiwi, so I bought them all and I got a raincheck for 8 Fruit Punch 30 ct packs when they get back in stock, The raincheck is good until 11/23/17.

This is an in-store only deal. The .com price is $6.19 for a 30 ct pack.
