@mmyk Id guess yes since all their previous rebates have required one receipt.

3/17 Samsung

Got another at Ali Express.

ETA: I now have 1 less than needed to win the prize in every candy. I’ve found a bunch o’ birds but now all I win is a prize drawing entry ticket. I’m guessing that’s all I’ll win from now on.

@ctujackbauer I’ve found a dozen or more hummingbirds today. Once I reached “all but one” the only thing I’ve won is an entry. The 25¢ might be my big win.

3/18- Stanley.
Earned another entry 😕.
Ends tomorrow.

@mistercheap Thanks, I got one on AARP and then from list of similar sites received one PDE from Tax Act, Robinhood, Chime, Coinbase, Western Union,

I got birds on 7 out of 10 fashion sites just going down their list. Now I’m bored.

It might be buying gc from TCB that glitches.

I went TCB-> eBay for ink carts. Used Paypal and within minutes my Paypal account showed that I completed the offer.

Staples has 30% back in Rewards on all cleaning supplies which is the same $15 offered by Wags & Amazon. I checked the rebate T&C. Staples would be “Other Brick and Mortar” or “Other Online Order” at the bottom of the Retailer drop down list.

Remember, P&G “penalizes” for coupon use so your total must be $50 after all coupons including Rewards are applied.

Bounty $7.99 @ Staples vs. $6.97 at WM comes out to $3.70/pkg for 7 pkgs vs. $5.09/pkg for 8 pkgs AR.

@mistercheap Wal-Mart just lowered their price on the Bounty. Now $5.89/pkg. 9 pkgs = $53. $2.56/pkg after PM & AR.
I like that Staples gives the price per roll. It shows that the larger packages are actually more expensive.

The Dawn jug is $22.89 @ Staples, $7.84 with limit of 3 @ WM.
I got 4 Bounty & 4 Dawn for $54 at Staples after PM.
5% Chase ink.
The Dawn sold fast at yard sale last year.

@ohsheet I use a different device and IP address (Staples, Panera, HD, Shaw’s, etc.) when submitting multiples. The issue with P&G is that you have to have a separate PGGE account.

@mistercheap Actually I had already planned to do that because even though I activated the 30% back it didn’t hit my account until 2 hours later so I didn’t get the bonus points. I’m hoping the return-rebuy can just be done on the in store receipt even though it’s a Kiosk order.

@c3 if the cashier is inexperienced they may have to call for help but I’ve used many Albertsons and Shaw’s eGC’s without any problems. I have less difficulty with Shaw’s eGC’s than with Wal-Mart’s. It’s a rare WM cashier who can enter an eGC without help.

@c3 I usually buy a 3rd party gc with Shaw’s gc so need a cashier. I don’t recall using one for groceries.

So many questions. How do they determine “active wear”? What is active wear? Do people review every receipt to decide if your item qualifies? Are there specific merchants you have to buy from? Could you buy something then return it?

@ohsheet said in Special K (2 boxes) and get $10 Active Wear Rebate 11/11/24 - 4/30/25, limit 5:

I got my redemption to work, and i choose a $10 GC to Dicks.

Thanks for the report. So you had to choose from a list of specific merchants.
I recall getting $60 in Dicks gc from a previous promotion and struggling to spend them.

@sonofzeus Pennzoil is a big NO. I made that mistake once. Not valid on purchases made on Amazon.com or Walmart.com.
Valvoline and Mobil are now only $5.

@ctujackbauer I tell the cashier at the regular register to press the GC key. What form of payment do you select at the SCO? No Google involved, just learned when regular cashiers had to call for assistance using the eGC.

@ctujackbauer 😃 I’ve had the eGC for 3+ years and have $40+ remaining. Mostly I’ve used it for grocery items that are much cheaper than at the supermarket. Its much easier to get in & out of the supermarket than WM.

@mistercheap I only do the deal when I have a use for the gc, ie stove & range hood from Lowe’s, house paint ~$100/gallon from Ace. PetSmart now charges shipping for canned food so won’t be getting more PS gc.

@ukedog Here’s how I do it in separate back to back transactions. 1) Recycle tech. 2) Recycle 10@500 points. 3) Recycle regular monthly @400 last because its >10.
You could probably do 20 then 10 but then it will probably apply 10@500 and 10@400 (presuming that’s what you’re getting for the 20 monthly).

@sonofzeus said in Staples - New Offer to 10/5 Recycle 10 ink carts at store get $25 in rewards make sure offer is activated:

Recycled 10x2 empty cartridges yesterday.
Now I’m tapped out.
Where can I buy more for $.50 ea?

I pay 22¢ each for 450 but that might be too many for you.

Any one try this yet? Just have to recycle 1.

@mrvietnam My bad, lol. It’s always been easier for me to use physical Rewards cards than to remember phone numbers. Presumably having a card wouldn’t require an ID.

@mistercheap said in Albertson's & Sister Chains (Acme/Shaws/etc) Buy $75 in many popular GC's in store, get $15 off $15+ Grocery Voucher June 6-19 only (FATHERS DAY):

If they run the 1/2 price offer again this holiday season, highly encourage you to do it.

I paid $49, got $65 in credits plus money on Rakuten $10 I think (Fresh Pass CB offer)

(joined late November, will get 13 x $5 monthly Q’s = $65) got for November 24 and will get it again in November 25.

And no limit on the $10 from Rakuten. You can earn $10 cb for every j4u acct you have on one Rakuten account. Other sites including iBotta have also had $10 cash back for FreshPass subscription.

Thanks MrC! I read OP the day you posted it (6/24?). Found that I had a Pfizer rebate on the Unclaimed Site. Submitted to my State that same day. Received a check for $11.49 on 6/28/25.

I also found something for $200. I think its related to the Covid Vaccine Study that I had difficulty getting paid for. Because of the $ amount I have to submit ID and a copy of SS card.

@yoregano It’s been years since I did it but I recall putting one of the Specialty pizzas in the cart then modifying it to make it qualify for the promotional price which doesn’t apply to Specialty pizzas. Of course there was less of each topping because there wasn’t enough space on the pie surface. There’s a limit of 7 toppings for the promo. The Specialty pizzas have ~6 toppings.

My offer is just $10 off $75 and has been that way for a while.

@mistercheap Translation: he found $ that was owed to his daughter. He sent the info to her. She sent an email to someone about it and hasn’t heard back.

I doubt that Dove (a Unilever product) works for the P&G rebate. P&G is Olay.

@yoregano I keep a few hundred in prepaid VC/MC on hand to pay for everything possible. I basically use Chase Ink for prepaids and Discover’s 5% categories. You can’t use prepaids online to buy 3rd party gc but they work on 3rd party cards B&M. There’s very little that I buy without at least 5% back.

I think they’re these.

The following week 8/10-8/16 is a pack of Post It notes. That’s the last freebie.

@yoregano So your stores did have Zift cards? 😁

You will only get one j4u offer: 10x, not 20x, 12x or 14x. No one believes me 😋.

So one can only earn the value of 10x points, 400 as points + $10 q.
Need to do 3 transactions @$50 each to earn a $20/$20.
$142.50 in gc gets you $50 in groceries if you’re using a 5% back cc.

I’d rather receive the non-expiring 100 points (Fresh Pass) instead of the $10 coupon which has an expiration date but oh well.

@mistercheap said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

@my4mainecoons said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

I didn’t say that the 10% vaccine q wouldn’t stack with J4u. I was pointing out that by law you cannot get a coupon discount on certain products like tobacco, gc, alcohol, lottery tickets, etc.

2 j4u won’t stack. So if Zillions gc are 10x that won’t become 20x on the weekend.

Usually Zillions are part of the $10/$10 coupon wyb $50. That’s not 10x points.
Do you have a different offer such that you earn 10x points and not a $10/$10 q wyb $50?

Do you have a different offer from the other j4u stores? We get 4x the value on gc on Sat & Sun.

They won’t stack to get 20x, but I think you’ll get 12x, as the 2x offer is general to ALL gift cards (not sure if the wording says 'can’t be combined with any other offer) but don’t recall seeing that wording. My guess is you get 12x if no wording on the digital to exclude it.

No. 10x only.

@mrvietnam said in $40 off a $75 Online Grocery Order exp 8/19 (Cof'd Acme, ymmv at other chains):

I can’t find that offer here in SoCal.

It’s targeted.

@mrvietnam There’s a list showing the dates that each period runs on one of the pages. Scroll down. The first one ends Aug. 25.

Thanks so much for this. Kids are getting NutriGrain bars for Halloween. Maybe some CheezIts.
There’s been 50¢/1 NutriGrain bars on iBotta. This week the 24/box NutriGrain and CheezIts are $2.97/box at Shaw’s. Found some dented boxes 50% off. Now have 116 treats. Usually get 85 -100 kids depending on weather and if it’s a school night.

@chryslerguy The coupon code was in the ad but there isn’t a coupon to clip. Looks like they messed up.

@ohsheet I keep getting $15 coupon off your next purchase wyb $60 ProPlan dog food. Coupon will print on receipt (in store) or be emailed.

I don’t have any dogs. I wonder if I only bought dog food if they’d send me deals for cat food.

OT: I opened a can of ProPlan cat food and it wasn’t full. I contacted Purina CS. They sent me coupons for a bunch of Fancy Feast and another supermarket brand. I mailed the q’s back to them saying I don’t feed that stuff and could they send me q’s for ProPlan instead. We’ll see what happens. The last time this happened they sent me >$75 worth of ProPlan q’s so I was disappointed to receive q’s for supermarket food.

I just received the Starbucks glitch email. I wish it happened more often.
I never use the Starbucks offer because the nearest Shaw’s with a SB is 90 miles away.

@mistercheap Given the economy the price might be $109 instead of $99/year. I would renew for up to $59.00 which is the break even point for Safeway. The $10 cash back is now available through several portals including iBotta.

@jwblue Yes but look at the Zift Zillions cards. They have multiple merchants on each card. On their website you use the Zift card to buy eGC for one or several of the merchants on the card you bought. e.g. you bought a $50 Zift card that has Staples and Amazon on it. On the Zift site you can get 1@$50 Staples egc, 1@$50 Amazon eGC or 1@$25 Staples and 1@$25 Amazon eGC. I buy Zift cards to get cards that are not part of the promotion or that my store doesn’t carry. Ace cards are part of the promotion but my stores don’t carry them so I bought Zift cards that had Ace on them. Chewy is never included in the offers so I’ve bought Zift with Chewy on it. I “think” people are buying Amazon egc. Buying 3 @$50 Zift cards (clip the 10x offer) will get you 3@$10/$10 q’s (purchase one at a time) and 1500 j4u points redeem for a $20/$20) through tomorrow when the 10x q expires.

@mrvietnam said in Albertson's Family Chains! $10 Grocery Voucher on $50 GC's 10x points on ZIFT GC's digital Q (ends 9/27 for 10x):

I remember from last time around there is some limit to how many ZIFT cards you can activate per email or per day or something like that. Does anyone remembe? I think it was two cards per email address? Is that per day or what?

2 per day then you get an error message.

Is it the “huge” Reward balance that makes one a Most Valuable Customer?
That recently started appearing on my account page.
Site says that I’ve spent $60 this year. I used to spend $1K/yr.
Anyone else have more than $1500 in Rewards? 😋

Anyone else receive the $5 in points wyb $5 offer? I didn’t understand it so called CS. Recording said that as a MVC I would be at the front of the line. Waited less than 2 minutes.
