RE: Riveting Deals: Sears online, Craftsman 120 assorted rivets, $3.92 with $0.62 SYWR points back, FSP (regular price $12.99)
OK, so here’s what I do with tool deals. e.g. •Craftsman General Purpose Riveter $5.92 w/ $0.94 SYWR points back (reg. $12.99)
Requires FreeCash/Surprise Points. Last week I had $12 in FreeCash.
I bring riveter to the register (only works on Tools and B&M). Tell the cashier I want to pay full price.
They scan item, get to screen that asks “would customer like an instant gift card?”.
Cashier enters “yes”. Price jumps to $12.99.
I pay $12 in FreeCash, 99¢ with Sears gc.
Cashier then issues gc for $7.77. $7.77 = $12.99 (regular price) - $5.92 (sale price) + 10%.
I do this A LOT. Have earned hundreds in Sears gc.
Tool Dept guys & I are now buddies. We have it down pat. I pay oop w/ my gc then hand them the gc to which they then load the new funds. For this gc net -99¢ + $7.77.
This deal is advertised but no one (except me) does it. If I’m at a different store I might have to talk a cashier through their screens. They’ve seen the screen but always hit “no” because “no one ever does it”.
Have used Sears gc to buy appliances or eg Shell gas gc at KM. Unload the tools on eBay. -

I’d be buying online. Closest TRU is an hour away.

@louis-redfoot I’m open to suggestions but I don’t know what to buy. People have suggested that I buy an iPad or Nintendo DS. Not sure that’s any better than selling gc. I thought about diapers but I get diapers for resale from Rite Aid. No profit if I buy diapers from TRU vs. when I get them from RA.

By “GC buyers online” you mean places like Raise? Thanks for the warning. I was considering them. They offer $18 for $25 TRU gc.
I’ll probably go with eBay; 2 lots of $75 for $68 w/FS vs. one lot for $140 w/FS. I’ll photocopy backs of the cards showing PIN’s are covered. First Class with tracking of course. -

Went to install “Cute PDF Writer” and Malwarebytes found a PUP in it.Is there a reason to use Cute PDF if one uses Chrome?
I use Nitro PDF (FAR from Frys back in the day) in FF & IE.
