Has anyone here used the Wand itself? Is it worthwhile or a marketing gimmick IYO?

Thanks OP. Worked like a charm. Literally did it standing in line - no muss, no fuss. Popcorn was decent too.

“SORRY YOU MISSED OUT ON THIS SPECIAL OFFER.
CHECK OUT ADDITIONAL JOLLY TIME PROMOTIONS HERE.”

Looks like it’s over now. Thanks OP.

@QuiTu Excellent point and idea.

I have Don’t Starve, ibb & obb & The Ship (2 copies). PM me if you want any of these - you’d have to claim them on Steam.

Anyone know how to get to games that you have as “gifts” in Steam so you can get a code?

I know I have a few. I don’t know 1) where to go to find what I have and 2) how to transfer these into codes I can post here.

If anyone can help, post or PM me please. Thanks.

Thanks @SlimTim. Don’t know how I’ve missed playing The Witcher series all these years.

I have bought used cars through Craigslist and eBay (yes, eBay) throughout the years and have saved a ton of money.

The key, if you aren’t a car guy (I’m not), is to pay a trusted mechanic to give it a thorough going over. $50 - 75 should do.

I bought a 10 year old Toyota for about $2,500 that I sold last year for $1,300. It was 20 years old.

I just bought another 10 year old Toyota for about $4,000. I will, God willing, have this one for 10 years as well with minimal yearly depreciation.

YMMV but I find that buying 3 year old cars captures about 50% of the potential value, but buying reliable transportation at the 7-10 year mark grabs almost all of it. Naturally, you may want cooler-looking wheels, but I figure I’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars by buying older and paying a mechanic to do the inspection.

Stumbled across an old Steam key and realized that others may have some too.

Share 'em if you have 'em, and post when you’ve taken one.

Just got a Starbucks email saying “some” people may have had trouble logging in and activating their board. So you should be able to do so now.

After filling out the survey, I got a 404 screen instead of a game download.

Anyone able to complete the survey and successfully get the game?

I oppose a YMMV breakout, but not militantly so. Nevertheless, given a vote I’m with MC.

Thanks OP. Mine is coming up in a couple months as well.

Yeah, it took me a minute because it says “DMA Transfer” and my brain interpreted it as DMCA and passed it over.

This is actually a great idea. It’s nice having one-stop shopping for movies.

Looks like I get to make the dumb statements on this thread. Turns out I did have Monsters Inc. from the August 2016 promo. Just transferred it over; easy as pie. Thanks for the correct 5T.

I’m getting “This offer is no longer available” for the Sony Reward one. Anyone else having this issue?

Weird. I didn’t get Monsters Inc. and my kids love that movie. I was looking forward to it. Oh well.

Looks fun. “Mostly positive” reviews and a co-op game. Nice. Thanks OP.

Thanks OP. Got the 5 movies immediately even though it said it may take up to an hour.

I linked Amazon, Google and Vudu. For some reason, Amazon hasn’t worked while the others did. Go figure.

Only size 11.5 left now. Thanks OP.

@redbeard25 Have you ever tried buying something ultracheap? I think they sell bananas for 90 cents at my local SBUX. I’d rather have that than a short coffee for $2.

Excludes Lego

Ah well. I could dream. Thanks OP.

$1.25 off any one rental: TQZJ357P

Says expires 12pm on 10/8… I think this means midnight not noon, but YMMV

Thanks 5T. Is there a reason Ally Bank’s 1.2% rate isn’t on the chart?

Looks dead already. Best price I see from any seller is $11.88.

TIL. Thought S&S had to be 5 items to not be Add-on.

Thanks for the detail 5Talents

Snagged one. Thanks MC.

FYI, it’s an Add-on Item

In for 1. A classic. Thanks OP.

My wife thanks you. It’s her drug of choice.

@jcantanixon I think you’re right. I don’t use 3% categories on it at all, so I’m probably mistaken. Also the annual fee might be $95 - I think I paid $75 last year but wouldn’t put it past AMEX to jack the fee.

How do you qualify for Platinum on BOFA? Do you have a mortgage? Because if there’s an easy way to do it, I’ll swap out CITI 2x Cash for it. I’m only Gold at present.

May be regional, so YMMV. If you have it, the gas savings is worth 12% ($6 discount). If you also have the Amex Preferred card with 6% cash back, then your final cost is $41 for each $50 restaurant gift card.

W5TKH9S6 for $1.25 off any rental, expires at 11:59pm tomorrow night (September 24th)

Right now, I’m a 3 card guy:

1. American Express Preferred ($75 annual fee) for 6% back on groceries up to $6K in spend annually, 3% on travel
2. Costco Visa (no AF) for 4% on gasoline on $7K(?) annual purchases
3. Citi Double Cash for 2% back on everything else

You can supplement with Discover and Chase Freedom if you want quarterly 5% cash back categories to slice-and-dice a little more.

Thoughts?
