Anyone still doing this? I’ve probably gotten at least 50 cans of this for free, but I suspect the gravy train is coming to an end. Kroger had them all on close out today so they might be discontinuing it. But that might not even matter as I tried to get another one using an Incognito window like I have for the last 9 months, but this time they asked for a phone number to text and said I had reached my limit. I still have a few coupons saved, so I’ll try to get a few more, but looks like this is over. It was crazy how I could keep doing it but I guess they finally figured it out.

@yoregano said in Amazon Subscribe & Save - Anyone else notice the change?:

Thanks all for the good discussion and help in troubleshooting. I thought of a scenario that is still a potential problem with the workaround of placing an order and then cancelling it immediately to just use S&S: when an item has a discount (separate from the S&S discount) from a clicking a checkbox on the item page that is only applied to the first order. I suspect if I try the order-then-cancel approach, I would lose that extra discount. I may have to experiment if I can find an item I don’t really care about with an extra discount and see what happens.

Try this item: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ARABJZS?tag=phtwllt-20

This is sounding more and more like a post-upgrade glitch to me. I’d hate to think that anyone with more than 2 brain cells would implement such a consumer hostile policy.

I tried. Got the coupon and 5% off on the order that would ship right away:

But then as suspected, you lose the coupon on the S&S order:

No change after canceling the order that would ship right away.

@jtownsucks46 or anyone else, which account >4.5% would you recommend? One that’s easy to set up, connect to other accounts, transfer money quickly, etc.

@mtnagel Wow, not familiar with BYBE…is it legit? Hesitate to “sign up”, but the idea of free Guinness is intriguing!

FYI, I did one of the BYBE a couple days ago and got paid in a few hours and I could withdraw $5 to paypal.

Ok the bugs in S&S are getting ridiculous.

Price shows $6.44 until I click set it up and then it goes straight to my cart where the price jumps up:

Edit: Now I see the higher price on the item’s page so I guess I just missed the price change between clicks. Argh.

@goldsheet said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:

LAUNCHING IN 2023
We’re preparing a new, FDIC-insured, High-Yield Savings Account
with no minimum deposit and an industry-leading 4.50% APY,
exclusively for M1 Plus members. ($125 annual membership fee)
https://m1.com/save/high-yield-savings-accounts/

https://m1.com/save/high-yield-savings-accounts/

I got an email from M1 today and I guess it’s because I signed up from this thread. Looks like they are launching at 5%, which is good, if there is really going to be a $125 annual membership fee as the post above says, then probably not worth it.

Exciting news,

Today is the first day of the M1 High-Yield Savings Account rollout. In the coming weeks, you’ll get an invitation to open your account. And we have a big update…

M1 Plus members get 5.00% APY1

All other clients get 1.50% APY1 on their balance. And with so much room for your savings to grow, we’ve taken extra steps to make sure your money is secure.

Savings accounts are now insured up to $5 million3. You get 20x higher than the standard $250,000 FDIC insurance that other institutions offer.

It’s almost time…

Starting today, we’ll be sending out invites to open your account.

Keep an eye out for yours soon.

Thanks for choosing M1,

@ctgolfer Give them all your info, submit, THEN they tell you not accepting new entries

That sucks. It seemingly went through for me this morning.

@mtnagel said in 2023 Master Thread - Beer/Wine/Spirits Purchase Required Rebates:

Anyone do this one? https://cheers.guinness.com/en/3779/offer

I ate a restaurant and bought a Guinness and submitted it on Saturday night. It was odd because it wouldn’t let me change the state from California and I tried multiple browsers/mobile/laptop but I submitted it anyway and it’s now past 48 and nothing. I did sent them a support message, but it’s odd because they have been very quick to pay out.

Got the money today. Yay for free beer!

@vegasvegan said in 2023 Master Thread - Beer/Wine/Spirits Purchase Required Rebates:

@briarycliffs This one is perfect for me. My local convenience store has 15 pks of 16oz cans for $15.76 after store rewards. I will gladly pay 5 cents a can for Bud.

Check Ibotta and BYBE. Both have $6 back on a 24 pack so this would be a $5 money maker for me.

I’ve done this multiple times in my account and aren’t eligible, but my SO, who has also done it multiple times as well, is eligible so thanks for posting.

Speaking of Bread Savings. I’m trying to move a chunk of money out of it and I see they have a $5k daily limit. Ugh. So I added it to my 5/3 account and tried to pull money from Bread, but I got an email from 5/3 that said, “The transfer you requested has been canceled because the service is not available for the selected accounts.” What does that mean?

So I went to check on the free breakfast crunchwrap deal and the closed TB to me still doesn’t accept online orders. WTF? And the app kept crashing and giving an unexpected API error. And I see that all the TB’s around me don’t open till 8, 8:30 or 9, which seems really late for a fast food place that sells breakfast. They’re missing a chunk of workers that might get it before going to work. Maybe it’s a pandemic thing, but still seems crazy to me. Also bizarre that I can’t seemingly order ahead. All of them just say closed and won’t let me hit confirm. What a bad user experience. Oh well.

Got 25 SB today

Of course neither our cat’s food nor litter is 20% off. Figures.

Totally forgot about this, but just got an email:

@mtnagel said in Coupons.com app closing down, must switch to shopmium:

Just downloaded the app and you can’t see the cash back amount unless you click each offer. What a terrible design! They gave me a free cookie dough so I’ll use that and I might scroll through to see if there is something I was already going to buy, but can’t see me using it much like that. Who thought the design on the right was better than the left?

I did the free cookies offer yesterday and they paid me overnight. They even paid me the full $5.50 it said even though I only paid $4.69.

Maybe talked in another thread, but that coupon is one time use, so might be better off with a higher priced item. I’ll probably end up getting cat litter to save $18. According to another deal site if you cancel the order, you get the coupon back.

Price comparison site says this is the lowest price in over a year. I paid $35.98 a few months ago. Save 5 or 15% with S&S. I saved 15% so I only paid $19.67. There’s a 20% off coupon when you spend $50, but I didn’t do that.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J93R7M8?tag=phtwllt-20

Great deal of course, but I can’t believe how much Walgreens charges for stuff. Kroger charges $8.49 for that Listerine. And I just paid $2.79 for the Kroger version ($3.79 regular price). I honestly don’t know how the taste compares to Listerine but I think the Kroger one is fine and they both have the same actives so they should work the same.

Ordered. Disappointed it’s only 4 per household. Oh well.

@jess888 said in Farm Fresh to You: Free Farm Box + MM:

I successfully did the FarmFreshToYou $100 cash back via DollarDig.com. The only condition was to subscribe to services. The cheapest subscription price is $29.

I had a Farm Fresh deal on one of my Amex cards at the time, which stacked. I believe it was $15 back on a $50 purchase.

Pays out in three months or so. I kept the subscription going during that time but kept cancelling individual deliveries after the first box, then canceled after receiving the payout.

The produce was fine, not particularly coming direct from a farm per sé.

Want to PM your referral link?

Kroger has Progresso soup on sale for $2.19 and there is a coupon where you can get 5 cans for 99 cents. So if you bought 10, it would be around $16.

Instant - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR8K3F38?tag=phtwllt-20
Active dry - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR8KQ9RH?tag=phtwllt-20

If you don’t see that price, check the other buying options. These are normally ~$1.14 to $2.50 for generic or brand name at Walmart/Kroger. This is almost half the unit price ($0.64/oz) vs buying Kroger 4 oz jar ($1.17/oz). You can find cheaper unit price on Amazon ($0.62/oz) but you have to buy a pound.

Sounds like something I could use but never saw this warning before. I guess it’s just freaking out because it’s an “unknown publisher”.

Don’t sweat it too much. If you don’t want to download it, other free alternatives work just as well and are not restricted from getting updates like this offer is.

– Z –

Well I gave it a go despite the Windows warning and so far it hasn’t stole all my data that I know of

And it did what I wanted it to do, which was download a video from a shady website, whereas I couldn’t get it to work with chrome browser extensions. It was super slow, but it did work. Thanks for posting.

Got mine today. I just happened to be near a BK today while I was picking up my free Brio bday dessert (no purchase required). Added a $1.10 soft serve for my minimum purchase. I had already made pot roast for dinner so added some fries and 2 desserts for about $1.

@ctujackbauer said in Burger King App FREE ANY SIZE Fries with any purchase weekly offer is back! exp unk:

I fear that I have committed a Burger King app sin.

I saw the offer for a $7.99 double whopper with small fries. I didn’t look at the regular purchase price of the double whopper, which was $7.99, so I could have attained a large fries for free instead of the small fries for free.

Woe is me.

Straight to frugality jail for you!

I’ve been using seemingly the same lights since 2016 and they are perfect in the bathroom when I have to pee in the middle of the night but I don’t want to be blasted by bright lights.

I don’t pay full price for fast food so I’m definitely not paying surge pricing.

Until further notice, Wendy’s is on my DONOTBUY list.

You post a teaser like this, but no explanation? You could still go to Wendy’s for the treat, no purchase required.

I’m sure it’s because of the surge pricing, which they already walked back and said they weren’t doing.

@my4mainecoons said in I need a new computer:

@mtnagel I own QuickBooks Pro 2019 on disc. I used QB Pro 2000 for 18 years. Having a disc means no annual subscription fees. It also means that I can install it on my new machine. I miss having software on discs.

I haven’t done it in forever, but you can convert the CD to ISO that you can run from your computer without needing the CD/drive in the future.

https://www.howtogeek.com/228886/how-to-create-iso-files-from-discs-on-windows-mac-and-linux/

So they responded overnight and I got the $1. To be fair, the receipt just says, “KRO BRN FLK” so I’m not sure how they are expected to know that’s a cereal. I assume this is why Ibotta has bar code scanning. I see those offers are gone from my account so this will probably be of very limited usefulness unless they start adding more offers.

No kids so no care I cut the child proof zipper off, but I don’t have to worry about my cat eating them. But seriously, it’s still baffling as a non parent that parents can’t just put these things where kids can’t get them.

They added an offer for Sabra hummus, which we buy regularly so that’s something. There’s also the deal for $1 back on soda, which I rarely buy but I did the $8 Mug root beer offer so I got a 12 pack for $10 and will get $9 back. And I use a 5% cash back card, which will come off the full price so $0.50 back so really $0.50 for a 12 pack of soda.

@frugalpete You should get an immediate response after sending a picture of your receipt. And you should have gotten a response originally that said:

Your cash back will automatically go to your Venmo. Prefer PayPal? Reply with only the word PAYPAL.

@mtnagel Thank You!

No prob. You can always find which ones are on the same sale by clicking “Shop items”:

Mine came in a box with a couple plastic air pillow things so I don’t think they were crushed more than they should be but mine came with a rip in the bag. I also asked for a refund and got it.

FYI, if anyone has a Delta flight coming up, they have an offer where you pay for a year of Walmart + and you get $100 in Delta e-credits. I have the Amex offer so it would be like a free $50 (assuming you will use the Delta credits easily). I just figured I’d do it when I got home but you have to be on the Delta wifi to do it. I should have read the fine print while on the plane. Damn.

Hey, thanks a lot. I am flying to Tokyo next week on Delta. I will have to sign up for Walmart+ on the plane’s wi-fi. How do I find the offer once I get on their wi-fi?

Delta gives free wi-fi on their flights now, right? I hope that applies to international flights, too.

Yes everyone gets free wifi if you have a Skymiles account. Not sure on international, but I assume so as well. As for the deal, I totally missed it when I logged in, but my SO showed it to me. When you log in, I would just make sure you check the landing page.

$25 from streaming

I’m an idiot. After transferring $250 into my account to try to save 10% at Netflix, I see you can’t pay Netflix ahead, which I definitely knew but clearly forgot. Oh well. I’ll save 10% off one month anyway.

Can you buy a Netflix gift card on the net flix site? say $100 and apply it as a balance on your account?

Nope. They seeming don’t sell their own gift cards. Only third parties but then I wouldn’t get the cash back. That seems really dumb to me but I guess Netflix has a reason.

Didn’t you read the T&C?

This offer may not be published in any rebating magazine, website, or elsewhere without written permission of General Mills, Inc.

LOL.

There’s also this one for similar products - https://www.naturevalleytrymefree.com/Home/EntryForm. I already did this one a few weeks ago. I assume I can do both as my Kroger just finally got the products in the one you linked.

Rebate offer only good on one (1) carton of NATURE VALLEY CRISPY CREAMY WAFER STRAWBERRY 5ct, NATURE VALLEY CRISPY CREAMY WAFER VANILLA HONEY 5ct, NATURE VALLEY SOFT BAKED BREAKFAST BARS BLUEBERRY OAT 5ct, NATURE VALLEY SOFT BAKED BREAKFAST BARS BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP 5ct, OR NATURE VALLEY SOFT BAKED BREAKFAST BARS MAPLE NUT 5ct.

@ukedog said in 2024 Master Thread - Beer/Wine/Spirits Purchase Required Rebates:

Michelob ULTRA,

You can also combo with https://app.bybeapp.com/. Right now they have $7 of an 18 pack of Michelob ULTRA - https://app.bybeapp.com/offer/10482. I’ve combined KCB, BYBE and rebates many many times. So far I’ve gotten:

• 6x 12 packs of Seagram’s Escapes = $2 MM per 12 pack
• 2x 12 packs Smirnoff Ice = $2 MM per 12 pack
• 4x 8 packs of NUTRL = $1 MM per 8 pack
• 9x 25 oz cans of Kona Big Wave = ~$1 MM per can
• 9x 19.2 oz can Goose Island Bear Hug IPA = ~$1 MM per can
• 4x 24 oz cans Smirnoff Ice = ~$1 MM per can (should be able to do 16 more cans)
• 5x 24 oz can Twisted Tea = ~$0.20 MM per can
• 8x 500 ml Beatbox = $0.40/box
• 13x 4 packs of Cutwater canned cocktails = most were about $0.50 or $1/ 4 pack but these taste awesome so I’m okay paying a little for those

There were a few others, but so far I’ve spent $446 and got $489 back and have enough alcohol to last quite awhile

And I know you mentioned not wanting to deal with rebates, but they can definitely add more savings. Here’s a good site that lists both beer rebates and BYBE offers - https://yofreesamples.com/alcohol-rebates/

I think I still have about $12 left on a gift card, which I got a deal on. My go to is to wait for a $20 off $40 coupon (which they do all the time) and get a large eggplant parm for $23 to go. We get 6 portions out of it, so ~$4 each. Eggplant parm is one of those meals I’ll pay for someone else to make since it’s a pain to make it well and making fried foods at home is annoying.
