This is the first one I tried and I got the Merry Christmas one - https://www.swagbucks.com/?f=55&t=w&p=1&q=Santa+claus

And I was able to get it again with random searching.

In the before times, we’d eat in and get an appetizer and a burger and with bottomless fries and it was way more food than 2 people should be eating for a pretty good deal. I’ve done the takeout burger a couple times during covid and it wasn’t as good as fresh. So the changes don’t really bother me that much as it seems like most of the birthday rewards are getting reduced. First Watch went from a free entree to BOGO.

I never used the offer (forgot to check Publix) and they extended my offer until Jan 7th.

@mtnagel This dessert is all show/no go.

Haha! I started drizzling on some maple syrup, adding whipped cream and sprinkling on some cinnamon and then it tasted pretty good. Or I’d drizzle on hot fudge.

We have this but the product did not please last time.

My SO didn’t care for it. I think it’s just okay. It took a long time to eat the free ones I got several months ago. Definitely not going out of my way for this. It must not be selling well considering how many they give away for free.

I first tried to search the phrase, but nothing, but then changed the link to match the little drummer boy link above, but changed it to twas the night before xmas and got it right away. Link = https://www.swagbucks.com/?f=55&t=w&p=1&q=twas+the+night+before+christmas

I got the twas the night before xmas yesterday with the link above, I change it to jack frost (https://www.swagbucks.com/?f=55&t=w&p=1&q=jack+frost), searched and refreshed a few times and got a 2nd twas the night before christmas. I don’t understand how any of this works.

has anyone gotten their money yet on these? post was put up 29 days ago. I submitted mine about 12 days ago.

Mailed mine 2 weeks ago today and nothing yet.

I had a free offer for those awhile back but could never find them. Just checked an not seeing them at Kroger online.

@mgr said in New Target Red Card Reloadable, Not linked to your bank, not a credit card, get $40 Ends 12/10:

@mtnagel If that’s true, then they really should be required to put “best used by” dates on those detergents if they stop working well.

Well most of the other cleaning ingredients will be fine for awhile, so it will still clean for awhile. And in general, most product is sold pretty quickly and most people aren’t like us with stock piles of stuff so they use it up quickly.

@my4mainecoons said in New Target Red Card Reloadable, Not linked to your bank, not a credit card, get $40 Ends 12/10:

I have 80+ bottles of Tide.

Just an FYI, the enzymes in laundry detergent do degrade over time. They remove the stains, so if you don’t get a lot of stains it might not matter that much to you. Source: I work in laundry detergent product development.

Nope. Just reporting what was posted in the SD thread I linked to.

That’s pretty insane they don’t block this year after year apparently.

And you can help my retirement account

Can’t think of anything I immediately need, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to spend $80 at Target. Will probably check out some clothes and then groceries, home products.

FYI, I read on SD that some people have been able to use it twice - once online and once in person. Very bizarre that Target wouldn’t have a way to stop that.

@mtnagel said in New Target Red Card Reloadable, Not linked to your bank, not a credit card, get $40 Ends 12/10:

I decided to do the reloadable but got declined. What the literal F? I was thinking maybe because my credit reports are locked, but it says they don’t check your credit. Very bizarre.

I ended up applying for the debit card and got approved for that so a free $80 for us.

I did find this on Slickdeals which probably explains why I got denied for the reloadable. I’ve opened 15 savings/checking accounts in the last year (made >$3500).

https://slickdeals.net/f/16218667-target-apply-for-a-new-reloadable-redcard-get-one-time-coupon-40-off-40-w-approval-exclusions-apply?p=159316657#post159316657

Many Slickdealers in this thread posted confusion of why they demand SSN, why do they want to know your occupation, why do they need to know the expected deposit amount. Some wondered why they got rejected when they have 800+ credit score. And this is why. Target Reloadable is a banking product. Not credit, not store card. The partner bank, Pathward, is required by law to obtain these sensitive information from you. And this also explains why you can get rejected when you have 800+ credit score. One person on this thread reported being approved even when his/her credit file is locked. And rightly so, because again this is not a credit product. Pathward does not check your credit. It however may check your deposit account history against popular verification services like ChexSystems. So check on that if you got denied. Did you open too many bank accounts in the past few months?

It’s still good on 95% of groceries, pet food, HBA, etc. The coupon will also stack with any circle offers or gift card offers (ie, spend $50 on paper/laundry, get $15 TGC) I wouldn’t let that list be a deal killer.

Yeah I know. Figured I’d get groceries. Still baffled that I got declined. Guess Target doesn’t want my money.

@booksleuth said in 2 FREE Packs of NatureSweet Tomatoes after Rebate - Limit of 2 Rebates with up to 2 Products per Rebate - exp 12/31/22:

@mtnagel better than buying the wrong ones for rebate: 10oz are 3.99 in my area, only the larger sizes are included in rebate.

Dang that sucks. Can you return them and buy the correct ones?

The 10 oz were on sale for $1.99 locally. But I made sure I bought the 16.5 oz size for $4.99. It’s a lot of grape tomatoes! Already had some for lunch and already made a tomato salad for dinner.

Anyone do this yet? Assuming no one got the credit yet. Boy those tomatoes are expensive! Bought 2 packs today and it was $5 each. Hopefully it works out. Sucks that you have to mail it in and you won’t know for 4 weeks so I could spend $20 on tomatoes and possibly not get it, but hopefully not.

Wonder if electronic receipts would work? I don’t think you get paper receipts from Kroger grocery pickup. It says copy of receipt so I don’t see why it wouldn’t, but would hate to get it declined for that.

Store locator - https://roarorganic.com/pages/find-us

Says limit 3. Wonder if all 3 can be on the same receipt?

@orthros said in Amex Offer - YMMV - $50 off $50 inKind Pass good at various restaurants - extra $25 with referral:

@mtnagel Seems like you have to pay at least $99 to get a $110 voucher so it’s more like $49 for $110, which is a decent deal but nothing like what’s implied.

Apparently there was a $50 link on their page, but it’s now changed. But it looks like all the deals just use a different number in the URL. I found a link for a $50 e-gift card - https://pass.inkind.com/checkout?ico_id=108&
I purchased through this link with my Amex. It was added to my balance as a gift and then I was able to gift it to myself, which generated a claim code, which I could paste in the app and then it was applied to my balance. It showed up as INKIND CARDS in Amex, so hopefully that triggers it.

Edit: link above is dead. Try 117 or 119 in the URL.

$50 off $50 at https://pass.inkind.com/amex-special. . I have this offer on both our gold Delta Amex so free $100. If anyone doesn’t have an account, you can use my referral and we both get $25. PM me (not sure if posting here is allowed).

Just a few months ago, this company sent me a free $50 pass for seemingly no reason. There are a bunch of restaurants around town but we went to a nice one that everyone raves about and got a great meal for ~$12 (can’t pay gratuity with the pass IIRC). I was worried because there were some bad reviews for the app, but I had no issue redeeming the credit.

I’m sitting on a $30 in Rock Bottom gift card I got a deal on. Thankfully they still exist, but they closed their location in Cincinnati and aren’t located in a city I will be in anytime soon. Hopefully I can use it at some point. I’m actually on a mission to use up old gift cards. Not that I’m worried they will all go out of business, but I did hear that some lose value. Doesn’t seem like that’s happened, but some of these are easily 5+ years old so I figured I’d should just use them.

IMO these aren’t very good. I mean it’s edible, but I’d much rather have less good chocolate than more low calorie chocolate.

@briarycliffs My Cheesecake Factory offer not good enough to add?

Here’s how I fared:

$7.58 = $3.79 x 2 - 2x Velveeta cheese and shells
-$1 = $0.50 x 2 - Kroger coupon (was supposed to be limit 1, but they took a Kraft Deluxe M&C for the Velveeta)
-$0.75 - 1x Coupons.com paper coupon
-$2 - Swagbucks
-$2 = $1 x 2 - 2x Ibotta
-$1.50 - catalina coupon
-$0.75 - Alexa offers
= $0.42 MM

The Alexa offer might get rejected for using a coupon, but got all the others already. I tried to use 2 coupons.com coupons, but they only accepted 1 and Kroger definitely doesn’t double anymore (they haven’t in a very long time as far as I know). Unfortunately I might not be able to use the catalina coupon since we’re going out of town for thanksgiving and might not need to shop again and not sure it’s worth a special trip.

@briarycliffs said in Better than free TWO Baybel Plant Based Cheese Packs (six to a pouch) after 900 swagbucks and $2.50 in C/O51:

SB has been deactivating many accounts lately

Why?

$0.75 off with Amazon cash back (limit one I believe). Looks like most of these apply to Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese and Cracker Barrel Mac & Cheese if you’d rather have those. Most are separate, but looks like swagbucks are combined, so can’t double up on those. Not on sale at Kroger, but there is a $0.50 off coupon but it’s limit 1.

Bizarre that you have to buy the GC in store at a Walmart. $5 bonus eCard expires 3/31/23.

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

@mtnagel
Yes, I mentioned previously Brio did the “switch-a-roo”
(like UFB, Popular, CIT, Salem Five, and a few others)
I have:
BRIODIRECT MONEY MARKET Interest Rate 0.698 %
BRIODIRECT SAVINGS Interest Rate 2.127 %
BRIODIRECT SAVINGS PLUS Interest Rate 3.682 %

Shady. Makes me want to just pull all my money and close my account.

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

@jtownsucks46

Brio Direct High Yield Savings was 2.80% now 3.75%
CFG Bank MM was 3.55% now 3.70%

Brio was stuck at 2.80% for so long I moved most of my money out, mostly to CFG !

I moved most of my money out of Brio, but kept a few dollars in there and it still shows 2.127%. I’m guessing they are one of those crappy banks that create new accounts with higher rates so to get the new rate you have to open a new account?

I know people here don’t like them but sucks to see that Dollar savings direct removed the claim of the highest rate so they are still at 3.5%.

This is working again.

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

@goldsheet My head is dizzy transferring funds back and forth between all my banks the last month as they raise their rates.

Dollar Savings Direct has been raising their rates to maintain their claim of the “America’s Highest Rate” so I’d expect them to raise theirs to match Bask. So you could just put it there.

DSD has a lousy ACH transfer policy. You can’t use an external bank to transfer money out of your DSD account (and maybe in, too), and you can have only an external personal CHECKING account linked to your DSD account to transfer money initiated through DSD.

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

@mtnagel Dollar Savings Bank only allows one linked account it has to be a checking account and it’s the only way to transfer funds. = Horrible

I just set up my T-Mobile account to push money to DSD so it’s possible to push from an external savings account. My DSD account is linked to a checking account and I have used that account as a middle man to then transfer to another bank as well so that’s possible. I’ve had my account for many years and haven’t used it in awhile, but it’s been nice that they’ve just been matching the highest rate lately so I’ll jump through a few hoops instead of creating new accounts to chase the best rate.

@ctujackbauer said in IBOTTA: Free Turkey and sides offer is back for 2022. Redeem 21 offers by 11/18 for free $14 Butterball Turkey and then unlock 3 sides (all major grocery chains):

Meh, if ibotta doesn’t bring back the 9 free Thanksgiving offers at Walmart, then ibotta can go stick that turkey where the sun don’t shine.

Although that does remind me that I really should use up that free cornbread mix I got last year.

The cornbread was good. I still have the fried onions that I opened last year so yeah those should probably be tossed.

Mine is only 16 offers but in the last month, I’ve only redeemed 7 offers, so highly unlikely I’d even get to 16. I’m a vegetarian, so I don’t want a free turkey, but I’d donate it.

Mine is good for in store thankfully, but only $10…

@ctujackbauer said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:

Ragu pasta sauce at Target is close to break-even again with the X pattern on the Swago board. +100 SB for buying 2, +250 SB for the X pattern. $1.99 cost for each jar of Ragu.

If you’re a gambling man/woman, then it’s a $.75 money-maker if you buy one jar of Ragu. +25 SB for buying 1, +250 SB for the X pattern. However, I’ve never actually tried buying just the one because the Swago board requires a premium deal marked by a star - it should qualify if you buy one because it has a star, but the vast majority of premium deals are over $.50 (50 SB back) and given Swagbucks tendency to send Magic Receipts into receipt review and not getting a reply back because this Swago ends October 31; all this means it’s a slight gamble for buying one jar.

That said, breaking-even on groceries is becoming exceedingly tougher due to the coupon apps recent lack of deals, so these offers are quite competitive, comparatively.

You could also factor in any to-do list and daily goal bonuses.

What coupon apps are still out there? Right now I’m only using e-coupons offered by grocery stores that are linked to my store card/account.

The digital coupons are probably best, you already know it will work with the store you’re shopping at, especially if things go awry at the register and your coupon doesn’t credit.

ibotta: still has good referral bonuses. scrolling through a bunch of deals that aren’t really spectacular, occasional freebies or BOGO offers. traditional bonuses for redeeming more offers is unobtainable for me because I don’t really do that much branded shopping. Redeems as true cash back by paypal or gift cards.

fetch rewards: this is the simplest, you just take a picture of the receipt and are immediately credited points (2.5 cents every grocery/restaurant/paper receipt for anything in a store) and their offers are not bad for the brands that partner with fetch. Redeems as gift cards.

checkout51: this one seems to be dying out, SmartSource (the newspaper coupon Sunday circular) bought this app a while ago and has kept it afloat. There seems to be a lack of new offers, although they also have the best recurring offer of $2 off $10 fresh beef that no other coupon app offers. Redeems as paypal or a physical check.

Tada/Magic Receipts: strangely, some of their offers are very competitive, even though they don’t have a ton of brand partners. And the offers for stuff like Fruit of the Loom or Hanes are unique among coupon apps in that they’re high-dollar amounts and recurring every week (you can use once a week and it comes back, extremely rare in coupon apps.)

coupons.com: this is the simplest, clip coupon, take pic of a receipt, get paypal instantly. the problem is that they rarely have great offers, and their offers on food are becoming even more rare. the other problem is they have restrictions on redeeming manufacturer coupons (paper coupons) or even store coupons (CVS Extrabucks or those instant register discounts at Costco) and every offer becomes a gamble as to whether you get paid or not.

receipt hog: takes forever to build up even a $5 cashout, but this app is quite good if you ever need to catalog your receipt purchases and need pictures of your receipts. redeems as amazon gift cards or paypal.

–

I don’t think anybody is getting rich off of coupon apps, but it helps defray the cost of branded groceries and sometimes generic store brand groceries. I buy generic store brand products a lot of the time just because of the hassle factor.

Good summary. Don’t forget Amazon Alexa shopping lists offers (https://www.engadget.com/amazons-latest-alexa-feature-lets-you-scan-shopping-receipts-for-cashback-rewards-124547327.html). 99% of the offers are the same as coupons.com. In the beginning, they gave cash back for offers that coupons.com rejected but I’ve now had some rejected when using another coupon on the item, so it’s a similar gamble to coupons.com. So I don’t take the risk anymore for a great deal unless it’s an item I would buy anyway. But it’s possible to double dip with both of them and occasionally other apps.

For me, I’m considering deleting checkout 51. It took me several years just to get to my first $20. I would go for long periods of time without having any offers I could use. Apparently at 6 months of inactivity, they will start deducting money from your balance, so once it got to that point I purposely redeemed a spaghetti sauce offer which wasn’t that great of a deal just to not lose any money in my account. So if it gets to that point, I should probably just delete the app.

@ctujackbauer If Tada does referrals, feel free to send me one as that’s the only one I didn’t know.

@sonofzeus said in Kroger (and affiliates) Cash Back offers:

@mtnagel I just discovered Kroger cashback offers. Minimum balance required to sweep? Customer service responsiveness to solve processing errors?

It takes a couple days after you buy an item to for it to show up in your cash back balance. You can cash out any amount to your shopper’s card. I think you need $5 to cash out to paypal.

I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue with them giving me the cash back but I honestly don’t use it much as there aren’t many things I buy in the offers, but their customer service is really good. I’ve complained about various issues (charged twice, not given a discount, poor quality product) and they always respond and add cash back (usually $5) to my account.

I’ve never had an issue with stacking any other cash back offers with Kroger cash back.

What is up with Discover???

So they took my money, gave me the bonus, then reversed the deposit. I mean that’s the ideal situation, but WTF?

Dear Matthew,

When I go in my account it, it does say, “Suspended. Call us at 1-800-290-9885.”

But it sure looks like my transfer is fine:

So bizarre. Maybe I’ll just wait to see if I get the bonus and then set up a different account to transfer it out.

My SO’s transfer went in yesterday and she already got the bonus. Will probably wait a bit and transfer it out.

So I did get my bonus today, but they ended up suspending my SO’s account access. We had to call up while the person confirmed a bunch of information and even called up the bank we transferred the money from (T-mobile money) and did a 3 way call to confirm she was the owner of that account. I’ve opened at least a dozen checking/savings accounts in the last year and linked a bunch of accounts and transferred a bunch of money around and have never had to do anything like that. I wonder if they are just trying to find a way to get out of paying the bonus? Very bizarre but at least we’re making an easy $900.
