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.

I collect these to give to folks working outside when it’s hot, e.g. lawn care crew, delivery people.

Now extended for one more day!

You’ve asked and we’ve listened:

Our popular hummingbird hunt has returned!

From Monday, March 10, 2025, at 6 a.m. PT, until Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 9 a.m. PT, you’ll encounter hummingbirds around our site that you can collect to win cash prizes.

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

@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,

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

@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.

3/17 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.

I clicked on the Double Points Back offer. There are 7 merchants. I got hummingbirds on 2 of them. One was the 25¢ cherry lips. Woohoo! Of course YMMV.

The $5/$5 expires 4/3.
Can only use one per transaction but can use with the $5/$5 Fresh Pass which will reset on 4/1.

My stores don’t carry Ace gc! I got a Zillions that includes Ace but I’d rather have an actual Ace card. Since its GCM I’m going to see if Staples has Ace and try ringing it up at Shaw’s.

ETA: No Ace cards at Staples either. Maybe not in this state.🤔

If not for this thread I would forget all about hunting every day. Thanks everyone!

It’s a savings account with a 4.3% fixed rate? It’s been a very long time since I’ve had a regular savings account.
What’s the logic for a better return on the smaller amount?

The specific merchant cards aren’t great (Ace, Hulu, Buffalo Wild Wings, Golf Now & PlayStation) but the Zillions cards are included.
Pick the Zillions card that has your favorite merchants, e.g. last time I got one that had Amazon, Macy’s, Lowe’s, Chewy and others on it.
You go to the Zillions site, register the card then generate eGC’s for what you want, whenever you need them. I could use the above example as eg $10 Amazon, $10 Chewy and $5 Lowe’s or $25 Chewy.

Purchase a $25 Zillions card on Saturday or Sunday to earn 4x j4u points having clipped the j4u offer on Saturday or Sunday. Earn 100 points and a $5/$5 CRT plus whatever your cc gives you. Even without the cc it’s $6 on a $25 purchase (24%).

IDK if the Hulu gc can be used on the Disney±Hulu deal.

3/13 - Alo Yoga

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

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

@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.

The most notable one for me is Albertsons which includes Safeway, Acme, Shaw’s, Jewell et al. and gives 4.05% back. They also added Chewy, Walgreens, Ikea and others.
I’ve skipped many of the $2.50/$15 offers because I they didn’t have a gc that I needed but I can always use Shaw’s cards.
I presume if they’re selling these gc that we can also redeem for them.

“Coupons will be distributed daily while supplies last, but we’ll restock them each day. So if all coupons on Friday are already handed out when you arrive, you still have a chance to get one if you return Saturday or Sunday
Coupons will have a value of $5, $10, $15 or $25. Open the Kohl’s Cash coupon when you receive it to see what you got
The Kohl’s Cash coupon is instantly redeemable and can only be used in store the same day you receive it
One giveaway coupon will be distributed per household per day and only one giveaway coupon can be used in a transaction.”

There goes my plan to use 3 on a single item.

Thanks. I remember this from last year. Sold the treats at yard sale.
Planning to order dog treats & cat food from PetSmart.
Have discounted PS gc from recent j4u grocery deal.
5K in PS Treats wyb $50.
$2.50 bonus and 6% cb from TCB.

After receiving the exact same canned response I actually got a reply. They said that the offer was “in store only”. I asked how I was supposed to know that. They said to look on the list of participating stores. (?)
I’ll just call this a failed experiment. While the 2% for an online order is ok, its not worth 70¢ to build a cart, empty it, then link through iBotta to place the order.

@mtnagel I agree with your wife. Cottonelle >> Charmin. Too bad you’re not closer. I have 14 packs of the Cottonelle that was clearanced at Staples.

@mistercheap "We reviewed your account and, unfortunately, your 03/01/25 Shaw’s purchase isn’t eligible for cash back. If you’re trying to redeem an Online shopping offer, your purchase must be completed and paid for online using the retailer’s app or website, not in-store.

If you want to earn cash back for in-store offers, you must complete your purchase inside the store, obtain an itemized paper receipt printed from the register, and submit it in the app. Invoices, emails, online receipts, and receipts printed on 8.5 x 11 paper are not considered valid forms of submission for in-store offers."

I replied that I purchased through Shaw’s website iBotta online. I have the 2% credit for an online purchase. Waiting for a response.

IBotta denied my item offers, just gave 2%.

@mistercheap That’s the $5/$25 Signature Select offer that I mentioned above. It expires today.
I got most of the $25 buying cat chicken. Got canola oil & produce as fillers.
Thanks for the pb suggestion. I’m out of freezer & refrigerator space so have been getting shelf stable items.
Just added a PB and reached $25. 🙂
Two weeks ago I had 12@$10/$10’s from the $50 gc deal so there’s nothing I need.
I thought about saving one account for next week but cat chicken is on sale this week.

I created a couple of accounts when we had the game 2 yrs ago. Just checked and they received the $40/$70. I don’t use the accounts.

@mrvietnam I think they sync with their sales week when its close, ie Sunday to Saturday. So it begins on Sunday March 2 not on March 1. They did that in Jan & February.

This is fun! There’s a $5/$25 wyb Signature brand and chicken for the cats counts. Expires tomorrow. Got sale items with j4u Q’s and pantry supplies. Waiting to see what value gets assigned for Bonus Path.

Found the offer on an account that doesn’t have FreshPass. I placed a special order which will arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Waiting for it to arrive so I can include it in a $75 order.

I’ve used this offer to buy gas gc at the supermarket.

I’ve used the offer for supermarket triple dips.
Supermarket offer: buy $50 in select 3rd party gc, get $10/$10 groceries. At j4u stores purchase on Sat or Sunday for 4x pts. Earn 5% back on Discover.

Can also just buy supermarket gc for 5% savings on groceries after the quarter ends.

@MISTERCHEAP I thought you might have already done it because of your earlier post. I searched and found this. I never noticed that menu before, lol.
Hagen Daz is on sale this week so I’m going to try it.

I didn’t receive the offer on all of my FreshPass accounts.

Does one receive iBotta for clipped offers if you order online? I saw 2% for the order which made me think one didn’t earn product rebates.

11 dozen eggs @ $6.99/doz = $76.89 - $40=> $36.89
$3.35/doz
13 dozen @$5.99/doz ==> $2.91/doz.

ETA: only able to add 2 pkgs per brand of eggs to cart. Able to add 2 of multiple different brands.

I built a cart then made a big mistake. At the top of the cart I clicked to use 1200 points for a $20/$20. That dropped my total from $35.15 to below the $35 minimum order! Grrrr.

You can ‘return’ a J4U rewards coupon.

How?

From what I remember…go to the rewards section and pull up the coupon. I think it will show that you redeemed ‘1’. change it to 0 and the points should be returned to your reward balance.

It worked!!! TYVM!

@my4mainecoons yeah, any $/$$ coupons the hit the order affect the required spend on online order deals. Just requires you to ‘spend more’ in that you have to add more stuff to your cart to meet thresholds and then you may be wasting money/getting stuff you don’t need or not at a great price.

I much prefer redeeming those on B&M visits.

I had to get stuff I don’t need to reach $75 at all. Added staples like sugar and oil. Then I realized that iBotta offers won’t work on BOPUS. The other thing that affects the cart total is the 5% Fresh Pass discount.

$3.99 (1/2 doz) Pete & Gerry eggs, 4 Kinder $1.50 B2G2 = $6.99

I recycled a few days ago and only received 500 points for a tech item.
