is this the one this thread is about? I’ve had these in my stash for a while.

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

@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.

The products listed are: Swiffer, Oral-B, Crest, NyQuil/DayQuil, Always, Discreet, Prilosec, Align, Metamucil, Fixodent, Vicks, Pantene (excludes 6.7oz.), Olay (excludes Olay Lotion, Body Wash & DUOs) or Bounty (6ct. or larger) products from 9/1/17 to 11/30/17. Must be postmarked by 12/30/17. EXCLUDES ALL TRIAL SIZES.

What do you do when there’s only one car in 4 states that meets your criteria?
I feel like I don’t have much bargaining power since they’re going to have to bring the car to me from out of state.

The Staples return w/o receipt is partially dependent on the amount of the return.
Sometimes I’ve needed to return something paid for with Staples Visa Rebate Card.
Since they can’t refund money to the card, SM has done a return w/o receipt and given me a Staples gc instead.
I asked about being “blacklisted” from returning things and he told me that 1) I don’t do it that often and 2) the dollar amount of my return was too low to matter.

I would never buy something at one store to return to a different company.

I buy things with the intent of returning when I’m “moving stock”. For drug store deal I might need to purchase 6 widgets at once but there are only 2 are in each store.
I’ll buy 2 at 2 different stores, paying full price (no rewards card) and charge to cc.
Then go to store #3, return the 4 from other stores and buy all 6 together to earn whatever I’m trying to earn.

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.

I’ve been doing this for more than 2 years. It will be my 3rd Christmas
Its advertised.
They recently added it to online but online can’t use Surprise Pts/Free Cash and I don’t trust they’ll send you gc.
With 100% back in pts deals you have to spend oop. Not my style.
BUT if I were to do that I’d be using my same Sears gc at KM.
I’d buy widget for $10, get 10k back in pts.
Then find a tool reg price $19.99, on sale for $9.99
Request to pay full price.
Pay $10 in points, $9.99 on gc, get back $11 on gc and sell the tool.

Sold 54 of these last Christmas season.

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

OK, so here’s what I do with tool deals. e.g. •Craftsman General Purpose Riveter $5.92 w/ $0.94 SYWR points back (reg. $12.99)
Requires FreeCash/Surprise Points. Last week I had $12 in FreeCash.
I bring riveter to the register (only works on Tools and B&M). Tell the cashier I want to pay full price.
They scan item, get to screen that asks “would customer like an instant gift card?”.
Cashier enters “yes”. Price jumps to $12.99.
I pay $12 in FreeCash, 99¢ with Sears gc.
Cashier then issues gc for $7.77. $7.77 = $12.99 (regular price) - $5.92 (sale price) + 10%.
I do this A LOT. Have earned hundreds in Sears gc.
Tool Dept guys & I are now buddies. We have it down pat. I pay oop w/ my gc then hand them the gc to which they then load the new funds. For this gc net -99¢ + $7.77.
This deal is advertised but no one (except me) does it. If I’m at a different store I might have to talk a cashier through their screens. They’ve seen the screen but always hit “no” because “no one ever does it”.
Have used Sears gc to buy appliances or eg Shell gas gc at KM. Unload the tools on eBay.

I’d be buying online. Closest TRU is an hour away.

@louis-redfoot I’m open to suggestions but I don’t know what to buy. People have suggested that I buy an iPad or Nintendo DS. Not sure that’s any better than selling gc. I thought about diapers but I get diapers for resale from Rite Aid. No profit if I buy diapers from TRU vs. when I get them from RA.

By “GC buyers online” you mean places like Raise? Thanks for the warning. I was considering them. They offer $18 for $25 TRU gc.
I’ll probably go with eBay; 2 lots of $75 for $68 w/FS vs. one lot for $140 w/FS. I’ll photocopy backs of the cards showing PIN’s are covered. First Class with tracking of course.

FYI
Went to install “Cute PDF Writer” and Malwarebytes found a PUP in it.

Is there a reason to use Cute PDF if one uses Chrome?
I use Nitro PDF (FAR from Frys back in the day) in FF & IE.

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

Does anyone have any advice on selling gift cards? Due to drug store shopping, this week I unintentionally ended up with $150 in Toys R Us $25 gift cards (plastic).
Have no use for them. Was thinking to list them around BF.
Am I asking for trouble selling gift cards?
Relatively low volume-- only $6-7K/yr but have been doing it for 10+ yrs.

OAN, don’t forget about Priority Mail Regional Rate boxes. Always very happy when I can use them.

hmmm. maybe this was why I was unable to change forums.

How do we mark a thread as expired?

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

When I was trying at home I couldn’t change forums either. Had header and blank white page. I was pretty far from my router. Probably would have worked if I’d switched to my neighbor’s router.

3 mbps? that’s what it said the last time I did a speed check

I did it! I’m at work – faster speed.
