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

Thanks. Got my usual $15 at Walmart. Will be getting an oil changed there this weekend so it’ll come in hand…

@mrvietnam
I did and got the confirmation email in a few minutes and the reward in a few hours.

Edited to add it comes from Kellanova fall football

Thanks. I did not get a confirmation e-mail either. It looks like zi will have to reach out to customer service tomorrow. Good thing I only did the offer once, so I cut my losses.

Just an update. I resubmitted my receipt a second time and this time I did get a confirmation and about six hours later I got the five dollar reward in my email, so all is good that ends well…

A little off-topic, but since this thread is about Dunkin’ Donuts. I bought a dozen Dunkin’ Donuts for the first time in a long, long time yesterday around 5 PM and they were expensive and they didn’t taste very good. Tasted kind of day old. I guess I was eating donuts they most likely made in the early morning…

I did this rebate offer on Saturday and submitted my receipt, but now four days later, I have yet to hear anything back from them. They said it would take them just two business days the process the receipt. Has anybody submitted with this offer and actually got their rebate back and if so, how long did it take?

Eight count boxes of pop tarts were $2.50 on sale at Food 4 Less so I bought six boxes that came to exactly $15.

@mrvietnam said in Schedule online and get a flu shot at ACME (sister chain?) earn points for $10 in free groceries ends 10/15:

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.

The email was very specific about it being worth $10. not $1.

Well, maybe every market is different because I signed up for the health option on the app and I didn’t sign up for a flu shot, but I must’ve done something else and it said I had 1200 points waiting for me and when I went to redeem 1000 points was only worth a dollar, so go figure .

Hopefully there are 8 boxes in stock an any given store.

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.

What is KellaNova mean? Are these Kellogg products what is the Nova part mean?

Great offer, but my membership doesn’t expire for 5 more months. I will reluctantly have to pass.

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

@MrVietnam posts like this should go in Drug/Grocery, not DD. thanks.

Okie-dokie

I found an abandoned receipt in the parking lot of my local CVS store for $146.42 and I submitted it and about an hour later I got $14.64 cashback. I’m happy I was able to give the receipt I found a good home…Wahoo!

Check your Ibotta offers and see if you got the 10% cashback and try to look for a high value receipt in the parking lot of your local CVS store and maybe you’ll score tooo.

There is also a bonus available in which you upload three CVS receipts on different days and they will give you a generous $5 bonus. I got the bonus before last month and now they’re offering it again.

Thanks. Don’t forget the $2.50 for recycling an alkaline battery… I’ll be in today to get my $17.50 x 2. (two accounts) the trouble with Staples is that they inflate their prices so much that when you’re getting ready to spend your windfall, it doesn’t buy a heck of a lot. Office Depot is the same way… I guess that’s why you always pricematch.

My wife and I both won five dollars tonight for our second period earnings, so now we’re done until September 23, which is the beginning of the third period. Not as good as the $15 we both won during the first period but free is free. No matter the amount. Loving this Coca Cola freebie administered through Ibotta.

J4U offer

Free PLEZi Hydration Beverage 16.9 oz. Expires 8/31/25.
Remember to claim your 75 cent Ibotta rebate for purchasing this free product. I can confirm that the rebate goes through fine even though it was a free item.

Interesting. Maybe it’s your web browser. I used Firefox. It worked for me.

How do you get the form to work? No matter what I do the submit button stays disabled.

Usually, I associate Sharpie products with high-quality, but I bought some sharpie ink gel pens from Staples a few months ago and they were terrible. Once you wrote with them for a short time, they wouldn’t write anymore and it wasn’t just one pen. It was several pens. Maybe I just got a bad pack or a pack that was sitting out there for months and months on the shelf.

I thought the upside app was just for gas stations and restaurants. Do they also give cash back at grocery stores?

Yep

I guess then it depends on the area in which you live. In my area there is no supermarket tab lister.

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

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.
