RE: PETSMART Pick Up: All Dog and Cat Treats/Chews 20% off AC PLUS get 20% back in Perks rewards (activation req'd) ends 9/1 (10% CB Rakuten)posted in Hot Deals
@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.

Any winners today?
How do you get the form to work? No matter what I do the submit button stays disabled.
There is a video you have to watch and 2 boxes you have to check.
Yep doing all the things and putting in my email, and button still not clickable.

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. -

RE: IBOTTA: $4.25 back on Dunkin Cold Brew 31oz Bottles (in Refrigerated Case) Lim 2, at Target/WMT and select grocery chainsposted in Expired Deals
They made it very clear that the programs are mutually exclusive when WM cash began. I never linked my WM and iBotta accounts because I prefer iBotta $ to WM cash. There was recently a notice on iBotta that linking to WM was experiencing difficulty and it was taking longer than usual for things to track. So someone could try using a linked account and scanning as well to see what happens.

@my4mainecoons Can you prove, that they are counterfeit? I rest my case! LOL
Have to see them up close. There are markings on genuine ones to distinguish from fakes. The price in itself is an indication.
Using fakes means USPS doesn’t get the money and contributes to the need to increase postage rates.
OTH, if @MrVietnam were the seller I’d trust him 'cuz I know where those stamps come from.😃

GC offer isn’t in my ad and no kiosk signs. No 10x for Zift cards offer advertised either.
I bought no fee MC gc’s to get the free with purchase Post It notes at Staples using 5% back Chase Ink.
Then used the MC gc at Shaw’s to see what happened if bought $50 Zift.
Received the $10/$10 and 4x points (200 points). -

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.

Word of caution re: Lowe’s gc which are part of this offer.
- If you pay for an order through TCB with a Lowe’s gc you will not earn any cb. It’s in the fine print.
- If you purchase online using a gc and return the item in-store they will issue a gc that can only be used in-store. It cannot be used for an online order.

@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.

Not in the Shaw’s ad but the offer might not be publicized this week. There’s a $5 off wyb $15 Chobani where the gc offer would usually be placed. In the past there were times when the offer wasn’t in the Safeway ad but people got the Q when they bought the gc.
OAN, Polar beverages are often 10/$10 but this week they’re 88¢ ea here. iBotta has 50¢ back for mixers and 50¢ back on seltzers or sodas. Both offers are L5. I bought 5 mixers, 5 seltzer, 15¢ worth of red grapes (25¢ back) , the free chocolate milk ($5 back, on sale for $3.99) and had a 10¢ for any receipt. Besides the purchase cb I earned 2@$5 in bonuses. One required 10 items, the other 13. $7xx MM.
Doing the same thing this week but instead just buying 3 sets of 5 Polar products to earn another 2@$5 bonuses. Smaller MM but I want the beverages and grapes take more effort, lol. Same 10 and 13 purchase requirements. Our sales week ends on Thursday so I purchased earlier in the week and held onto the receipts to start submitting them today, Thursday when the new bonuses come out.

@sonofzeus I don’t think you’ll get 10x and 2x, just 10x. Don’t think the 10% off will work on g.c. Check the T&C. Usually excludes liquor, tobacco, postage stamps, gc, liquid dairy and I can’t recall what else.

Stopped at rarely visited Jewel to look for Zift Zillions cards that include Amazon. The relevant peg was empty.
I did find the one bottle of Starry Zero on the bottom shelf of the cooler. Submitted receipt. Venmo payment received in minutes.Is there a new Zillions offer? Our ad won’t be out until midnight tonight. I need more Ace cards.

I always end up with some oop when paying with Rewards because they can only be redeemed in whole dollar amounts. I would think that oop would be enough to count as “any purchase”.

RE: Current Tracfone Deals / Discussion threadposted in Deal Discussion
I need advice please.
I’ve purchased 2 Tracfones each with a year of service but didn’t activate the service in time on either of them.
I use cell phones with wifi for ibotta.
Now rebates and sites are requiring 2 factor verification with a text so I need something to receive texts. Texts and a way to call 911 if my car breaks down. Google phone won’t do.
The battery on the first one is going. It’s probably 8-9 yrs old. I like its size.
I can’t find the 2nd phone at all. It’s got to be here but I can’t find it. I didn’t like it anyway. It’s too heavy.
The one that hasn’t been used at all that’s too heavy is a moto e5 from HSN purchased in 2020.
I’d like a year of service and lightweight.Does this one look ok?

@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.

@yoregano I pay my electric bill with no fee prepaid Visa gc (Staples, Chase Ink). We get one free cc transaction per month.
You can buy gas (or any other) gc at a gas station and get 5% back from Discover as its a gas station purchase.
Chase Ink gives 5% back on phone & Internet year round so I have those on autopay. -

@marvomatic It’s super easy. I print the Amazon receipt to PDF then use the Adobe Reader “pen” to circle the products. Save that then just upload it where it asks for the receipt. You need the UPC numbers from the products. When you start to enter them the P&G site will populate the product name.
