@stolat slim to none. They’ve had other 3 day coupons in the past and they’ve expired without grace.

@mrsguin If you are in an area that is losing its Rite Aids, the FAR stuff on front page is a nice way to cash out Plenti Points.

@imanemokid yay Nemo! Glad to see you here!

@lorenw not until BF at the earliest.
Acct showed I’d earned 3 Rewards. Now it only shows 2. I’m hoping that the 3rd is on deck to be issued.
This is a very slow program.

@frett You really need to narrow down what you want to do. You can’t do it all in one trip.
I’ve done several “types” of UK trips.

1. London alone - usual sights and maybe a day trip
2. Hotel in London but ignoring London sights and just taking day trips using terrific train system: Stonehenge, Cambridge, Bath, Stratford on Avon, Windsor, Hampton Court, etc. Spent a day in each. Rail stations are in the middle of town. No car needed. If you want guided tour TripAdvisor.com has links.
3. Theatre. Stayed in London for a week and went to the theatre twice a day. Really. Unlike the U.S. where matinees are only on Weds, Sat or Sun., matinees are on different days in London. I found matinees for each day of the week then filled in evening performances.
4. Landed in London then took train north to Edinburgh stopping at a few towns along the way, spending a day in those towns.

I can’t say enough about train system. I spent 4 mos traveling around Europe by train. Can’t imagine wanting to rent a car. Most locals travel by train. Its American mind-set that have to have a car because US doesn’t have the infrastructure-- and its too big.

Street corners in London have “look right” painted on the road for tourists.
Indian food in London is good and really hot. Consider having high tea instead of evening meal. Have a ploughman’s lunch in pub. Of course fish & chips if you like fish. These things are all cheap. Window shop but don’t buy at Fortnum & Mason or Harrod’s. Unless you’re staying in a B&B, make your own breakfast in your room. I travel with coffee (either a small Melitta & grounds or instant) and pick up fruit/scones at local supermarket. Shopping local is fun. To make the most of my money, I spend it on stuff that’s more important-- not breakfast & lunch.

@dangeruss Pay with and earn Plenti Points if you’re so inclined.

@niniss are pop ups enabled? Default in Chrome is to block all pop ups.

@centora87 IIRC last year we got cash back from Amex. Haven’t seen it yet this year and its getting late.

@mistercheap said in HURRY!!!! Activate S* $10 Contour Next One meter!!! $10MM at Rite Aid!!!:

@my4mainecoons yes, but even some break even deals are worth getting if it’s stuff I use! <
sure but it won’t be me posting about it

@mistercheap you should know by now. I don’t do or post DS deals unless they’re MM

@vegasvegan I receive seller promotions that aren’t useful. I don’t sell that much, maybe $6k a year. Don’t have a store. Don’t list enough to make it worthwhile. I really dislike eBay promotional emails so have opted out of as much as possible. That’s probably why I don’t receive email offers but when I check my acct I don’t see offers for eBay bucks to activate either.

@briarycliffs said in HURRY!!!! Activate S* $10 Contour Next One meter!!! Cash out $10 PP:

there is a printable on redplum.com, wonder if it will beep.

beeps

@mistercheap said in HURRY!!!! Activate S* $10 Contour Next One meter!!! Cash out $10 PP:

Got my Q’s today that I bought from Flea Market, yes they beeped, but one store seems to think they beeped due to the price being $9.99, and I let them modify it, easy to be done with it.

the issue isn’t the $9.99 price and $10 coupon, nor is it ip vs insert q. It just beeps as does just about everything at RA these days.

Did you have filler to cover the penny?
Another way – and better cash out, is to have them do a post-coupon.
I’ll be buying meter ($10q beeps), Nicorette ($10 mq beeps) and Schick razors. $20 is a lot to override. I’ll have them post q $20.
if you have q’s you won’t use I could use 4 more.

@dangeruss Did this sell out or was it a price mistake? I don’t see Amazon as a seller.

@sweetclover I never ever get any eBay bucks offers and I never buy anything on eBay; I just sell. Maybe you have to spend money to get love?

@centora87 You can earn cash back on Groupon purchases. Is your question whether this deal would be excluded because you’re buying a gift card and cash back isn’t usually earned when buying a gift card? If so, I have no idea.

The NewEgg gift cards can be used along with a NewEgg coupon.
The $20 is a gift card not a coupon. You can use multiple gift cards on a single order.

I remember doing something similar last year and cashing out the entire gc buying FAR stuff on BF.

@597404 Does website reflect price at a given store (like Lowe’s) or is it regular retail (like Staples)?

@mrvietnam I purchased Saturday PM. Monday I received credit for other items in transaction but not the meter. emailed S*. Today received email that they didn’t know why meter hadn’t counted and they were crediting my account. Now it appears that the UPC I purchased is counting according to the app. I like to think that it was my early adoption and messaging S* that got it fixed.

@frett I travel internationally independently and alone. I’ve travelled to the UK several times although not recently.
I choose hotels based on neighborhood, price and reviews. Book cheapest upgradeable air fare and use miles to upgrade to business class. Really nice to be able to stretch out on a long flight. Makes it special too, like an anniversary should be. I use local transport to get to hotel from airport.
Are you familiar with TripAdvisor.com?
For guidebooks I like the Lonely Planet series but it depends on your style. Guidebooks are targeted to specific audiences. Rick Steves is much less adventurous than Lonely Planet but more adventurous than e.g. Frommers.

You will be jet lagged when you arrive. Typically I check into hotel then if I’m with someone who’s never been to London before, we take a city tour. London Transit used to run one where you could get on/off stops all for one ticket. I suggest just riding cuz you’ll be tired. You’ll go past places you’ll want to return to and places you don’t care to revisit but at least you’ll have gone past Buckingham Palace even if you don’t want to watch the changing of the guards. Then walk around a bit, have dinner and go to bed early.

Its a long drive from London to Scotland by car. Maybe 8 hrs.? I’ve only done it by overnight train. If you don’t mind spending 2 days of your 10 day trip just driving then go for it. You could spend 10 days just in Scotland. Ireland? Even longer to get there. Again, a place you could spend a week. Maybe that’s what you want this trip to be, the experience of travelling to/from Scotland and staying in B&B’s along the way.

I travel by public transit, ie buses, trains. You can get just about anywhere you want from London, just know that depending on where you’re headed will determine which station you leave from.
