@mtnagel 1) Marianos(Kroger) Cash Back explicitly excludes spending for alcohol.

Figured that was the case and almost typed it, but figured it’s a non issue at a grocery store where you are likely to spend money on lots of stuff that isn’t alcohol.

2. Other than discounted gift cards, how do you get 10% off groceries.?

Credit card offers. Chase and US Bank have given me tons of 10% off $90 offers so I’ll buy what I’m going to buy and add on a GC to get up around $90. Still have $100’s in GCs I saved 10% on.

Does KCB spend on anything in the store?
Yes you can send it to card and it will come off your next purchase. But you can cash it out to paypal too, which is what I do since I get 5-10% off on grocery spend.

There are some insane beer/alcohol rebates lately. This is Ohio and need a Kroger for Kroger cash back (KCB). Some I did multiple times which you need multiple Kroger accounts to do.

Paid - $125.76
Cash back - $225.08
Net - $99.32 money maker

If you go by $/100 sheets, this isn’t a great deal. 3400 sheets for $19.99 is $0.59/100 sheets. Last time I got Cottonelle ultra soft (which I say is equivalent to Charmin) it was $19.14 for 94720 sheets or $0.20/100 sheets. This seems to be the price now as well with 5+ SS and 25% off coupon. Of course you get the holder with Charmin.

Do people still actually send things through the USPS?

Pretty much only greeting cards for my parents.

Got two sets earlier with my SO. Shocked they didn’t make you use the app to avoid double/triple/etc dipping and just to track you.

CardCash

I just bought a couple gift cards and one of them say the balance is $0 when it should be $50. I messaged them, but it says I’ll get a refund. I already see the order tracked in paypay, but wonder how this will effect the deal if they (hopefully) do refund my money.

I did place another order yesterday so now paypal shows I should be getting the $20 reward, but CardCash did refund my money. I wonder if Paypal will stop the reward? I didn’t see anything in the terms about returns or refunds, but I have to imagine they would take it back. I’m debating placing another order. Hmmm…

So I ended up placing a 3rd order since the first got mostly refunded. I got the $20 reward just now. So ended up getting $119.44 in value for $89.42 or about 25% discount. Nice!

New to this. I just checked my PayPal “Rewards” tab for the first time and saw I’d receive 1000 for using PayPal. Can my oop be any amount?

If you don’t see a minimum spend then it sounds like that’s true.

Not to pour salt in your wound. But why would you do that?

@sonofzeus said in Shell Gas Promo: 22 cents off per gallon on 2026 Nascar Race days:

Why would it not work?

Yeah, I assume so, but the BoA are based on Upside and they say they will reduce your cash back by 5 cents/gal if you use another discount so I assume they might be able to see the details of the transaction. But even if they do that, it’s still a solid deal. $0.22 with Nascar deal. $0.24 with BoA, so instead of $0.46, it might be $0.41. Of course the Shell wasn’t the cheapest in the area, but even just the Nascar deal made it cheaper.

@sonofzeus said in Shell Gas Promo: 22 cents off per gallon on 2026 Nascar Race days:

Does macy’s tell Gimbel’s? (look it up)

I did have to look it up

Have this offer on my BoA card. Wonder if I can double dip and get 46 cents off.

I never did shopkick for some reason. Anyway, this pushed me to cash out my Fetch points. Normally I wait for a $50 Amazon gift card, but did the math and decided to cash out for $25. $50 is about 91% and 25% is 89% so I figured that wasn’t a big enough difference to wait. I wish they still had the $10 Meijer for 10k. Took advantage of that often.

I can’t believe the offers haven’t reset or they haven’t added new offers.

Still no crowns. I don’t need a “free” soda with $3 purchase coupon. It was a good run. Got a lot of free food from them. But, alas, all good things must come to an end.

There are no crowns as instant win prizes in this game. See the official rules.

Didn’t catch that. Thanks. Now I can officially stop playing.

Food prizes only in multiple accounts. Lame. Guess when my points are done, no more free food for me.

BB has had 4 month free offer for a long time. I’ve done it multiple times. Just switch to different email addresses. Had it for many years and have never paid for it ever.

My SO had the Target reloadable card a couple years ago; closed 1.5 years ago. Is she eligible for this now?

I wonder if I could sign up for a new Walmart account, but then the email wouldn’t match my Mypoints email. But not sure if that matters.

@qwyx said in HOT! MyPoints: 17,500 MyPoints wyb one year of Walmart+, making it free plus a $10-$15 MM when ordered through MYPoints. Hurry! Offer is for one week only:

Great deal for sure.

In my situation, it may not work for me?

I’ve never had a Walmart+ membership before.

When I ty to join Walmart+ I see this message:
“Join today for just $1, then get your first year of membership for only $75”

There doesn’t seem to be any way to skip the 30-day trial?

So if my card is charged $1 today, then charged $75 after 30 days, would that still count for this offer?

Is it actually a “trial?” T&C exclude trials:

*Points will not be awarded for Walmart+ Trial Memberships nor Walmart+ Assist Memberships or Walmart+ Student Memberships. Points will only be awarded for the initial purchase of a Walmart+ Membership and is not a reoccurring award. Terms & Conditions apply. Free delivery on $35+ orders. Restrictions apply.

I’ve had trials of Walmart+ before and so mine says, “rejoin Walmart”. I don’t like how the T&C say “initial purchase”. I think I’ll skip for now unless I see others say it works when you rejoin. Since you can’t cancel and get your money back, I don’t want to risk it. Walmart+ plus definitely isn’t worth $100 to me if I don’t get the MyPoints.

@mmyk said in Shell Gas Promo: 22 cents off per gallon on 2026 Nascar Race days:

@mtnagel is it one time activation or needs to be done per event? I don’t see anything in the entire app to let me activate tho.

This is what I see in the Shell app. It’s under Personal offers. Looks like you just activate once since it says my offer is still active and I’ve used it one.

@mmyk said in Shell Gas Promo: 22 cents off per gallon on 2026 Nascar Race days:

I don’t see a place to activate in the app. Does it just show up at the pump automatically?

If I’m remembering correctly, you activate in the Shell app.

Yes it shows up on the pump, but only after inserting you CC.

Was out today and taking a trip this weekend so filled up. Paid $2.319/gal.

@bucktownboy
Thanks. Now I see that on the site.

https://cluballiance.aaa.com/automotive/car-care/deals

You don’t need to be a AAA member. I was charged $21. I knew it wouldn’t be free since my SO’s car takes 6 qts so that was $13. And I charged tax, labor and recycling. I normally change the oil in both our cars, but that’s cheaper than it would cost me for materials. Plus they did a tire rotation for free so that saves me from doing it

I made an appt online. I entered the promo code in the comments, but I also printed out the coupon and he did take that but not sure it was absolutely necessary. Of course I literally just did mine last weekend and then a friend sent me this or I would have done both cars.

I know this is old and expired but relatedly, I can’t access the 1000 crown rewards anymore. Tried app, multiple mobile and laptop browsers and all are the same. Thankfully you can still redeem them in your cart but I can’t do it from the rewards page. Anyone else seeing this?

Yes I know DD fees sucks, but no fees or tip if you do pickup. I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred which comes with $10 in DD credits per month. Last month they screwed up so they gave me $6 in credits to make up for it. I placed an order for 5 tallboys of beer. Paid 55 cents and got 3000 points back immediately (I value at about 91%). Plus I can do 2 rebates and 2x on BYBE for $3 back on each for $12 back. So will make about $15 and get 5x tallboys of beer. I plan to use one of the other Fetch offers on beer next month and then will do a small <$3 order to get it for free.

Most I got was 75 in any of my accounts:

Got mine. Paid $2.79, got 2790 back. I value at 90.9% (Amazon $50 for 55k points). So $2.54 back. Paid with 5% CB CC card so net paid $0.11. I’m expecting very mediocre pizza but it will make a quick, easy dinner.

Anyone win crowns? I’ve only work food coupons or nothing.

@my4mainecoons said in $10M Wheat Thins class action settlement:

@mtnagel My payment was held for same reason but cleared in a day or 2. It should have cleared by now.

Still haven’t gotten it 11 days later. I’m guessing something is screwed up because of the error message I get clicking on the transaction ID. I’ll contact them again next week if it doesn’t show up.

@mtnagel said in $10M Wheat Thins class action settlement:

So I’m having issues with my payment. My SO got paid $9.57 via Venmo on Jan 13th. On Jan 12th, I got an email from Paypal saying a payment from BMO Bank National Association is pending and it was the exact amount my SO got. Then on Jan 13th, I got an email from paypal saying “The payment from is being processed” and “This transaction is no longer pending and the money has been released to your account balance. Thank you for your patience.” But it’s not in my account. There’s a link to click to get details and all it says is, “Sorry. We were not able to process your request. Please try again later.” Guess it’s time to contact Paypal.

I contacted Paypal. First they said:

I do not see any such transaction in your account

Ah WTF, you sent me 2 emails about it. Then I sent the email message they sent me and then they said:

I see that the payment is pending, I see that this payment is currently under review, please note once the review is done the funds will be released to your account, as part of our security measures, we review certain payments more closely to ensure our platform is being used properly and to minimize the potential risk for us and our customers.

I do a lot of transactions on paypal and have never seen that before. Weird.

$5 for any “bucket”. Limit is really 400 oz (by volume) or 3.1 gal. My bucket says it’s 4.25 gal. The girl did say she wouldn’t be able to fill it all the way. She filled up their normal extra large bucket twice and dumped it in. It filled it up mostly (it settled during driving) and she was surprised, but I think she assumed it was 5 gal like the Lowe’s bucket. Anyway, all sizes of popcorn are $5 today and tomorrow anyway. Not sure what regular price is as I don’t go to the movies. Gubhub says $11 so maybe $22 retail cost.

@mistercheap said in Now to 3/1/26: Spend $10 on SILK MILK, INT'L DELIGHT, Dannon Brands Yogurt, STOK Coffee and more, get $5 Paypal/Venmo Rebate Lim 5:

No, not for $10 spend. very easy to do on one receipt.

Not if you don’t want any of the qualifying items I guess I could have bought 11 of the International delight cold foam that was on clearance for 92 cents, but alas they were all gone today.

Wasn’t the last offer multiple receipts were accepted? Sucks it has to be one transaction now. I got coupons for free Silk Cold foam and So Delicious desserts at a Kroger event. Last trip, I bought 1 Silk cold foam (got the money back) and 2 International Delight creamers on clearance so spent around $6. Still have one of the So Delicious coupons so if I would have redeemed that, it would have been over $10. Maybe I’ll be able to figure it out before March but don’t normally buy a lot of these products normally.

Finally got my points. They said they were pending until the 12th and they meant it.

So max of $1k cash back but you can’t spend more than $500. Hmmm…

AB-946681988

Thanks. No shame in cheap beer

Not seeing any valid rebates in the 50 or so numbers before or after so I wonder if they are just using random numbers now.

@chryslerguy said in 2025 Master Thread - NBPR Rebates:

@mtnagel The last couple of offers I saw at the end of 2025 were numbered as AB-XXXXXXXXX… yes, nine digits so it’s now nearly impossible to find offers unless posted in store. Please post if you find anything new!

Interesting. Thanks. Got an example of the new numbers?

Check your email or go to BK.com. Came up in all my accounts except 1. If I’m remembering correctly, these are the answers:

Fries
1957
Kings Chicken sandwich
10

Any new AB rebates? I checked up bunch following their previous convention of “mybeerrebate.com/#/AB-####” but aren’t seeing any. Did they change the URL?

Anyone else having problems with the game? I get errors more days then not and the game won’t load and thus I can’t play.

It’s worked for me every day.

Seems like they are giving away more crowns this game vs the last one.

Fabulous offer, I clicked on the and filled out the information but got to the submit screen and verified “I AM HUMAN” but the screen just loops back to the exact same screen. So maybe the offer is no longer available??

Seemingly worked for me to sign up.
