Expires Dec. 4.

@barrytuneup 1. No S&S near me. 2. More importantly, I spend < $500 a year on groceries so I never earn gas points where I shop. My oop is usually < $10/trip. So from my point of view you’re spending a LOT on groceries to get a discount on gas. Might work for you if you need to spend that much on food but doesn’t work for me.

Are you able to buy m.o. at S&S?

@barrytuneup I didn’t think what I did was MS either but you posted about getting groceries buying Visa gc so didn’t think that was MS.

How are you cashing out your Visa’s from Staples? Walmart one at a time? My WM will only accept one card per m.o. and limit one per day. Used to be so easy to pay for one m.o. with 4 gc but no longer.

@lorenw I’m getting cranky. I’ve done 15 transactions. The first set of 3 was completed the week of Nov. 11. They say it will take 7-14 days to receive email. Nothing.
Not only that but I had 4 pending, went down to 3 which I thought meant one would be coming.
I made another 3 transactions which brought the pending back up to 4.
Last week that 4 went down to 3 again.

@kohlspowrshopper awww thanks. That’s why I was confused. It says FRIENDS25 but there’s also a long code that has a PIN. It was the PIN that made me think it was unique. I guess the only way to know is to load it and see what happens.

@kohlspowrshopper I was asking about the % off code I received w/ the KC. Nothing special about it, correct? Its just the 25% off FnF code. When I received it I thought it was unique and I was “special” but I’m not.

@kohlspowrshopper said in Small Kitchen Electrics for $2 or Less AC & MIR & $15 KC & Y2Y & FS @Kohls.com thru Nov 24:

25% off storewide (Nov 30-Dec 06), which will also be a new KC earning period

When I received the Kohls cash for purchasing appliances I also received a 25% off code valid those same dates. There’s a bar code with a PIN but it also says FRIENDS25. So nothing super special about what I received? If its the same 25% off storewide then I can’t stack it, right?

@kohlspowrshopper When do Yes2You credits get issued? Once a month? Since I earned them this past week will they be available to stack with KC earned this past week? thanks.

@barrytuneup I didn’t think of getting eg grocery cats for purchases as MS.

Would you consider the following MS? I just think of it as getting cheap gas.

1. Bought $400 prepaid Visas at Staples. Rebate covers the activation fee. 5% back on Chase Ink so $20.
2. Used the $400 in prepaids to buy $400 in Best Buy gc at Rite Aid. Earned 1600PP per acct (4 accts, $16 ea)
3. Used the $400 in Best Buy gc to buy $375 in gas gc (Shell & Mobil) and $25 Panera card.
4. Use the Mobil gc when I have Plenti offers for eg 7x pts per gallon.

If gas is $2.50/gallon by my math I’m paying ~ $1.90/gallon. Like I said, I think of it as getting cheap gas not MS.

IMO MS is buying stuff to rack up credit card bonus. In the above instance just the initial $400 on Chase Ink would be MS.
