This morning on the way to work I was successful in buying on my other Plenti card10 more $10 Rite Aid gift cards paying with a prepaid Visa. I live this deal!

I wish you could do it for me.

Turns out the deal tracks. Wish I’d known that yesterday. I could have tossed $10 RA gc into several of my transactions and paid for them w/ PP. Had so much “o” and was scrambling to cover it. I can still do a few but probably only get to $50 per card.

PS. The SmSource printables AND the hang tag 75c Q’s are all beeping and require manual input. The RA Senior Q’s scan with no issue.

ALSO, Be sure to check your 2017 wellness spending, if you are close to silver or gold status make sure you spend enough prior to 12/31 to reach those levels for 2018. Filling RX’es will give you 25 points each I think if you have stuff to refill prior to 12/31.

the q’s beep on the bonus size bottles. I learned this in October… stuck with the 1 L bottles this time around and no beeps.

@kohlspowrshopper I picked up my $1.49 fork. Got home and there was no BOPUS bonus email. Guess I’ll be chatting again in the AM.

Ad for week 12/31-1/6/18 shows no longer earning Plenti Points.
New product is rolling out called Bonus Cash.
Will still be able to pay with Plenti Points, just won’t be earning new PP.

This isn’t a HD per se but didn’t want it to get lost in Deal Discussion or Grocery/Drug Store.

@barrytuneup said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:

well, then don’t recommend buying the RA gift card starting Sun. for 1000 PP. $10.00 profit, but who knows how long the PP will be around. Although they would probably give warning to us your points as of a certain date.

I think Rite Aid and Plenti are pretty committed to each other. The bigger issue is if one will still have Rite Aid stores in 2018. Mine are all being taken over by Walgreens so I’m cashing out.

@althes said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:

Yeah rite aid and plenti are hand in hand.
I still don’t find it very appealing.

So much for my certainty about RA and Plenti… No more Plenti at RA in 2018.

@barrytuneup bought a $25 Petco gc today. Paid w/ PP. Earned 500PP for buying the gc.

@MrVietnam another PS, it’s possible it is best to hand the $2/20 in first while the total is over $20, perhaps it was further down in my pile, I don’t recall now.

yes, hand over the catalina before your total falls below $20 and it will work

@mistercheap Wish there were deals at my supermarket. Staples sales staff did my purchasing. I only had Saturday to shop so I drove 9 hrs from Dad’s to home stopping at RA’s & Petco along the way (5 hrs if no stops). Happily it was “untapped” territory for clearance Nicorette. Everybody does what works for them. I was just pleased to get an extra $5 in the deal. Picking up was worth ~ $20 for me. $15 in sales tax saved and $5 BOPUS bonus.

@kohlspowrshopper Success? I ordered a cocktail fork for $1.59 and its ready for pick up. We’ll see if the BOPUS bonus shows up before I pick up tomorrow or if picking up triggers the bonus.

@kohlspowrshopper I can’t believe this. I ordered iced tea spoon. Received order confirmation and then this:

Hi, My4.
We’re sorry to say it, but we looked into things and we recently sold out of the items in your order. So, we’ve had to cancel order #4379949464. You have not been charged for any items since we weren’t able to fulfill the order.
To make it up to you, here’s something for your next Kohl’s shopping trip.

$5 GIFT

PIN: 9999

Expires 01/31/2018. Valid in store, online and at kiosk. No minimum purchase required.*

So what am I up to now? $5/$5 online, $5 BOPUS bonus KC, $5 KC for oos (Is it KC?) and $5 Yes2You in January?

@mistercheap said in Kohls BM Black Friday (until 1 PM) 12 small appliances and small MM.:

@fivetalents it is mayhem at Kohls B&M for days, lots do the online pick up option too. Given the rebates, it is easy to get $50 in your cart post discounts and have them shipped for free. I’ve never had any of them damages since they pack a number of these items into one larger box.

I honestly see no reason to go to the store if you are ONLY doing this appliance deal. if it were in store only, I’d understand.

@mistercheap Well, I found another reason to pick up in store. Earned $5 Kohls Cash for doing it. Turns out there’s been a promotion for $5 KC when you BOPUS.

This week I placed an order to use the $60 KC and $10 Yes2You I’d earned buying appliances. Received $5 KC for doing BOPUS. Just chatted with CS wondering why I’d received for 2nd order but hadn’t received the BOPUS bonus for my 12 appliances. They issued 100 Yes2You pts and gave me $5/$5 my next online order. If I choose BOPUS again I’ll receive another $5 KC for that order.

I picked up my 12 appliances on Saturday PM after Thanksgiving. I was the only one at the CS counter. Of course a line formed behind me since it took CSR a bit to collect the 12 appliances.

@kohlspowrshopper Just ordered a spoon for $1.99 on Kohls gc.
Tomorrow AM will order 2nd spoon.
Plan to pick both up tomorrow but because ordered on different days I expect to receive 2 BOPUS bonuses.
Unfortunately store closest to home doesn’t have the spoons. Picking up an hour from home so not like I can run in every day.
I’d like to get 4 spoons total. I think a set of 4 for $5 would be good resale price at my annual yard sale.

@kohlspowrshopper said in Official Kohl's Sales and Promo Codes Master Thread:

Thanks, @my4mainecoons! Perhaps I should chat with CSR, too, and see if I can get credits for all of the BOPUS orders I’ve placed since Kohl’s rolled this promo out around the beginning of October…

I had to give them the order numbers so you might want to get stuff together before you start chatting.

@kohlspowrshopper oh my, that would be awesome!
All this means that my $200 BF small appliances order became even more of a MM.

Now I have $5 from CSR with which to generate another $5 BOPUS bonus. That should leave me with $10 in KC. Believe me, if I don’t receive BOPUS bonus on (3rd) order I’ll be chatting again.

I don’t need anything. I’m all about the MM. Found an iced tea spoon for $1.99 after 25% off. So I’ll order that and pay with gc (purchased with Plenti Pts at Rite Aid for MM) and hopefully earn $5 KC.

@noahbody Santa has no idea how nice I am to my Staples.
I had a kiosk order fail. I’d used a $20/$60 coupon on the order. They refunded the cc payment but couldn’t do anything about the coupon so AM gave me a $20/$20 certificate even while I protested it wasn’t necessary. It was good for 90 days and it just expired unused this week. Only $20 but I didn’t want to affect store’s profits.

OTH, I was out of town over Thanksgiving. I wanted my store to have my sales so I left them $230 in Rewards checks and a $15 Staples gc along with instructions for 3 separate transactions. They did everything. All I did was pick orders up on Sunday and submit the rebates: 2 McAfee, 10 single reams, 9 pkgs of Sharpies to 3 addresses. $230 in Rewards cashed out. $5 used on the gift card (rebate from prepaid VC offer).

@kohlspowrshopper So I did online chat to ask, why did I receive $5 BOPUS bonus on order #2 ($60) and not for order #1 ($200+). CSR didn’t explain it but issued me 100 pts.
my4: Points? Is that Yes2You?
CSR: yes
my4: The $5 BOPUS Bonus I received could be used immediately, ie for Christmas shopping. Yes2You won’t be available until January?
CSR: yes, that is correct
my4: harrumph (I should have said ‘bah humbug’)
CSR: I’m sorry as it is system generated coupon. We don’t have option to re-issue it.
my4: why didn’t it happen when it was supposed to happen? Did I not do something? I didn’t know about it until I received for the 2nd order. Then because I received for 2nd order I wondered why not for the first order.

CSR: Let me check with that and help you with that.

my4: Thanks. If I’m going to place other orders I want to do it so I get the bonus of course.

CSR: I have great news for you. I will honor you with $5 on your next online order. When you place the new order chat back with us and help them with my chat reference: 999999-9999. I will leave a clear note on this chat.

my4: And if its BOPUS I’ll also receive the $5 after I pick it up?

CSR: Yes, you will receive the $5.

my4: oh my

CSR: Thank you so much for understanding.

my4: Well, this is all more than I was expecting. Thank you very much.

@kohlspowrshopper I saw something about the $5 bonus when I was ordering.
Right now, placing something in cart I haven’t seen the $5 bonus mentioned but I’m at work. Will see what happens when I load cart on home pc. I have a Kohls gc to play with. I might get a few pillows @ $2.99 ea if I can get the $5 KC for each.

I didn’t receive the $5 bonus when I picked up my 12 small kitchen appliances last week. That was BOPUS too.

Mini lotions aren’t available in store. Didn’t see any lip balms < $4.

@wmnetid What state are you in? If in MA, NJ, OR, WA the minimum to cash out is $5 so folks might be buying 10 @ $5.

@mrvietnam What I suggest that you do is to buy 5 $10 gc for $50. Earn 1000PP. Use each gc once and choose the option to receive the balance back as cash. (IDK if anyone else posting lives in CA where the minimum to cash out gc is $10.) Then use that cash and a little more to buy your next $50 in gc.

This one time only I wish I lived in CA.

@kohlspowrshopper I ordered online from the comfort of home. Ordered for local pick up to avoid shipping. (Paid with the KC and Yes2You earned on BF.) Picked up the order later on same day and when I arrived home there was email with $5 KC.

I wonder if I can order something small (as cheap as possible) for local pickup and come out ahead on $5 KC’s. Any ideas for items < $1? Found candle melts $2.99, $2.24 after 25% off. The Big One Pillow for $2.99 probably has better yard sale value.

@orthros One address received $5/$5, others received $10/$50.

@barrytuneup said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:

not true, I bought Dominos gc last month when they had the deal, and along with other stuff, PP were taken off for all ltems except the gc. It was hard coded in register. I had to use a 3% credit card for that. They also have the Dominos deal this week along with a RA gift card. Debating whether to buy.

ummm. true.

@cows123 said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:

@my4mainecoons What gift cards can you buy at Rite Aid with Plenti points? I always understood that you can’t use Plenti points to buy gift cards. Or is it only certain gift cards?

I’ve not bought Visa or MC but you can buy any gift card using PP. I usually buy the gc that are giving PP back that week. This week I’ll probably get Petco. In past 6 mo I’ve bought various ones. Need to be an experienced coupon user and comfortable telling cashier in what order to do things.

@mrvietnam said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:

The trick to use Plenti points to buy a gift card (which I am not even sure works anymore) is to buy other things in the same order and use manufacturer coupons. You then purchase a gift card in the same transaction for the amount of your manufacturer coupons you used. So, for example, if you used $10 in manufacturer coupons you could then buy a $10 gift card and the register would let you pay for it in Plenti points.

Exactly. I don’t have thousands in PP because when my acct totals get over $250 I buy gc to get point total down. So instead of hundreds of PP I have hundreds in gc. The special holiday gc display is nice because there are $10 gc on it. I’ve been getting PetSmart but they have a $10 eBay gc and lots of restaurant gc for $10. Easy to do this week with Senior Day coupons on Wednesday.

@kohlspowrshopper I placed an order for pick up and received $5 KC which is active immediately and doesn’t expire until 12-31-17. Can I rinse & repeat? If I use it to order a $5 item for pick up will I receive another $5 KC?

@mrvietnam I did my experiment. I had a RA gc with $1xx on it. I tried to buy a $6xx gc.
Total $6xx, swiped the RA gc w/ $1xx on it and the register said “Rite Aid does not allow the use of gift cards for the purchase of gift cards, lottery tickets, postage stamps…”. It was worth a shot.

@mrvietnam Free Aquahydrate for you, Mr. V. Senior Day they’ll be 2/$3 - 2 $1/1 Sr Q’s - $1/2 mq printing from the RA coupon machine.

Mr.V – do u know if RA gc can buy 3rd party gc? Thanks!

not any longer. Used to be able to do it.
What I’m going to try is to buy RA gc with RA gc.

@bbsearchlight most folks buying these are buying for the spend not for the cards themselves. If I were to buy these (which I can’t w/o traveling since offer not valid in my state) I would almost immediately spend them either paying utility bill or buying a prepaid which I can use.

If you have a 5% back cc then buy $400 worth, earn $20 on credit card. Then use the $400 in Amex to buy e.g. gas gift cards (B&M), pay a utility bill, etc. Effectively a 5% discount on gas or on your utility.

@mistercheap I’ve done it in the past few weeks and expect to do it this coming week.

@c3 not legally but a fair number of folks do it.
