It’s back again . I’ve gotten so many $5/$5’s and J4u points from these offers.
Last time I got Ace gc (via Zillions) to buy Ben Moore paint.
The time before I got Lowe’s gc to buy dishwasher, range hood and back splash.
Now that PetSmart charges shipping for wet pet food I won’t be buying PetSmart gc.

This time the options are: Zillions, Cinemark, Cracker Barrel, Instacart, Jimmy John’s, Domino, DoorDash, Fandango, Old Navy, Golf, PlayStation, Lowe’s, Ulta, Regal and a restaurant group.

Remember to activate the 4x gift card J4u offer on Saturday AM and to purchase cards on Sat. or Sunday.

I’ve bought a lot of these and the $15/$15 didn’t expire in 7 days, it expired at the end of the promotion. So if you purchase on e.g. June 6 it doesn’t expire until after June 19.

Don’t forget to activate 4x j4u points for gc purchases on Saturday AM and to purchase on Saturday or Sunday.

The Zift Zillions cards offer options that aren’t on the participating card list. e.g. Amazon, Wayfair, Chili’s, Subway, PetSmart, Chewy, Staples, Macy’s, etc. You can only activate 2 Zillions cards a day “for security reasons”.

Home Depot and Xbox are not on Zillions and never included in these gc offers.
Shaws doesn’t carry Ace HW gc but Ace is included on Zillions. So I bought Zillions and redeemed for Ace egc.

oooh, my buddy the scrabble tile!

I tried to change my avatar and it said I didn’t have right to do that.

@skaterringo I’m thinking about getting Capital One MMA. 1.2% APR and $200 sign up bonus. For < $10K its 0.6%. IDK if you’d get the sign up bonus.

I can change forums now but I’m at work-- faster speed. Will try later from home.

I’ve used KM & Sears gc at KM to buy eg Staples, Shell, Panera, etc. gc.

Re: Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter $10.49 for 40 lbs on Amazon

I just read the T&C on the rebate form from earlier this year. Must provide 9-digit PC# found on address label.

I don’t have AARP membership but maybe find a copy of the magazine at Sr. Center.

Have you considered a coupons.com connection? There’s revenue generated for each coupon printed. While there aren’t a lot of us coupon users I don’t think it costs anything to host and any revenue is good.

@sweetclover If we really wanted to generate revenue each member could print every coupon once a month. OTH that’s a way to lose it. I was on a board where we did that and coupons.com severed the relationship because they paid out so much.

printed to pdf. We were a small board but we had hundreds of PC’s.

Assuming you haven’t done any allergy deals in October and have 30% off FnF coupons.
30 ct Zyrtec tabs or 25 ct gel caps $22.99 RR, $7 OYNO cat prints wyb 2
$4 Ip’s on Zyrtec website, maybe coupons.com and maybe insert

Transaction #1 - all transactions require a 30% off coupon and 2 Zyrtec q’s
2 Zyrtec $16.09 - 2 $4/1 mq = $24.18, earn 1000 PP/$30 allergy (monthly, L4) and $7 cat; $32 towards 2000PP wyb $75 Allergy (year long, unlimited)

Transaction #2
2 Zyrtec $16.09 - 2 $4/1 - $7 cat from above = $17.18, earn 1000PP monthly, $7 cat; another $32 towards 2000PP wyb $75 Allergy (if you already had $11 tracking you’ll earn 2000PP)

Transaction #3 & #4 same as #2

In the end: $24.18 + 3 x 17¢ = $24.72 oop
earn 4000 PP for monthly Allergy, at least 2000 PP for year long Allergy and still have $7 catalina
(and 8 bottles of Zyrtec)
If you have $10 cat from buying Huggies then your initial oop will be lower
~ $35 MM

If you run out of 30% off coupons, Zyrtec is on sale for $19.99 this week. Still a MM.

@mrvietnam Bought more Zyrtec today (friend’s card). Paid using $7 catalina and earned another $7 catalina, twice.

sssshhhh. I was planning on getting the no salt version even when the low salt was in stock. Wish my mailman would hurry up and get here, I want my coupon!

@juicer You Rock!!! I called to be “downgraded”. If you hadn’t posted I would have left it at that but thanks to you I asked for the 5% I hadn’t received. They’re giving me $130 in Rewards. I had them break it into smaller checks. Thanks again!

@crabbing pretty sure the register won’t allow it.
Rewards are considered a coupon.
Can’t use coupons on gift cards including the activation fee.
You’ll have better luck trying a Staples gc than Rewards.

@jtownsucks46 Just checked Informed Delivery. A 20% off coupon is arriving in my mail today! Glad I held off on ordering. Thanks for the HU re: coupons in the mail.

@mikk1 thanks! Now I just have to find product.

@fivetalents tyvm

On sale for $4.99
$3/1 ip on coupons.com
$2 back from S* makes it free
Targeted offer for 200PP wyb 1 Persil makes it MM if you received the offer

@frugalfreak I didn’t need help finding thread once I saw YMMV subforum and based on discussion we’d had on FW, knew that’s where thread would be. Never saw directory before…

@ma-barker thanks for the HU! I receive a $10/$50 coupon from Staples every Monday. I would have ignored this week’s email if not for your post. Exact same email subject: YOUR exclusive $10 off coupon has arrived! but last Monday the coupon was the usual $10/$50, this Monday $10/$20.

It is not tied to your Rewards card. It is transferrable. You can use it on any acct.

@juicer 2 wks ago I purchased $400 in prepaid Visa & single ream of paper with the following:
$90 Staples visa rebate gc
$90 Staples visa rebate gc
$175 Staples gc (McAfee SER)
$15 Staples gc ($300 MC prepaid gc SER)
$45 Staples visa rebate gc
$4.22 on Chase Ink
$2.98 single ream coupon

Submitted for $15 Staples rebate gc & $5 ream rebate and cashed out the $400 in Visa at WM.
Probably broke even but got rid of a bunch of cards.

Of course my avatar bought $400 in Visa prepaids just for the 5% back from Chase Ink and submitted her own rebate. She used one of the cards to pay her $200+ vet bill.

@bbsearchlight I was at an out of town Staples. Handed over gc thinking it would cover the ream and maybe activation fee. To my surprise the entire $140 on the gc was applied to my purchase of ream + $400 in visas. So I went to another store and did the same thing with the above cards. So it may be YMMV but I didn’t even know the register would allow it until now.

@lorenw “long time”? I have about 50 bags of food in plastic tubs organized by variety & date. We’ll finish up Exp. 2016 probably in November and then we’ll start on Exp. 2017. I have tubs dated Exp. 2018. A small bag lasts us a week. I don’t pass up free food if its something I’ll feed but I look for furthest date out knowing it will be in stockpile for a while.

@sweetclover That’s great. TYVM!!! Works well with this week’s P&G offer at RA!

@597404 I haven’t had $10/$20 for a long time-- other than snail mail sent to a friend.
No idea what to get with the $10/$20.

@597404 the $10/$20 didn’t work on clearance items that scanned at clearance price? Is that something new?
1550858 comes up as $11.99 for me.

@ukedog I saw these-- for anyone interested, they are smaller sized. I use a smaller size mouse but since I have a few $2 Logitech snowmen & santas I passed.

@mrvietnam @barrytuneup
IDK if this is the best way but to PM someone I use Chat function.
I click on the avatar of person I want to contact.
Their page comes up. On the right are 3 vertical dots. I click on that. Then “start new chat with username”

@lorenw Good idea. Since we won’t have Rite Aid any longer the cats will have to find a new hobby.

Last year we found single packs of chicken Nong Shim for 99¢ ea. That’s about what I pay for them on Amazon. I’ve been avoiding Big Lots because they carry Belly Flops and I can eat a bag of those in 2 days.

@lorenw so is the best use to make purchases on a 20% off day and redeem on a “normal” day?

@lorenw I just received a $5/$15 coupon for signing up. So I guess I make a trip today, tomorrow and Monday. Hopefully receive the $5 Reward mid-week and spend it with the $5/$15. Pay $5 for $15 worth of stuff? Plus the oop to earn the $5 Reward makes it a 50% discount.

I don’t need anything at Big Lots and doesn’t sound like there’s a way to cash out so I might not last long in this game.

@mistercheap The cheapest thing I found on quick trip was 33¢ for Nissin cup of soup. I got Nong Shim for 90¢ since its something I use.

Sure there’s stuff to buy but its nothing I’d be buying normally so they’re winning by getting me to spend money I wouldn’t otherwise be spending. Even the Nong Shim was real money. Usually I order it from Amazon. I get Amazon gc for taste testing so I think of anything I get on Amazon as “free”.

Does the BL sales week run Sunday to Saturday? If I make more than 3 trips this week will it count towards next week’s Reward? I’d like to use 2 $5 Rewards and $5/$15 coupon on one purchase. Will I be able to do that?

@mistercheap Sure I’ll spend money if its something I like and use but there’s very little that I like and use that I can’t get without paying real money-- including gas. There’s nothing I want at Staples either but at least I can use Rewards to buy ink to resell. Not sure that there’s anything worth buying to resell at BL but will have to spend more time exploring.
