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. -
RE: AARP Members (Magazine) Nov 2017 issue has a $15 MIR on $50 of many P&G items
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.

RE: Make PW a generous Cashback site like TopCashBack.
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.

RE: Riveting Deals: Sears online, Craftsman 120 assorted rivets, $3.92 with $0.62 SYWR points back, FSP (regular price $12.99)
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: Riveting Deals: Sears online, Craftsman 120 assorted rivets, $3.92 with $0.62 SYWR points back, FSP (regular price $12.99)
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.
