ShopRunner is completely free for AMEX cardholders. It’s been a while since i signed up, but from what I remember, when you go to the ShopRunner site, you need to provide them w/ your AMEX CC # (to authenticate that you’re an AMEX cardholder).

Given that, it wouldn’t surprise me if a pre-paid AMEX GC (or even an AMEX Rebate GC) could be used to successfully enroll for a free ShopRunner account. YMMV on whether that works though.

@pitflyer said in Amex Offer: Sam’s Club membership - purchase online only - $25 back on $45:

Does the digital assist team know about the issue and fix it without further back and forth?

The Digital Assist Team member I spoke w/ was already aware of the issue as he had dealt w/ the same issue previously for another customer (and had completed the escalation process to a supervisor). He acknowledged that Sam’s Club is not coding the transactions properly, which is the root cause of the issue.

So far my credit still hasn’t shown up yet, but the Digital Assist Team member who assisted me advised that it can take up to five business days for the credit to post. I’ll give them more time than that. If the credit doesn’t show up by the end of the month, I’ll call them back.

Signed up on-line for a new membership at the beginning of 2018, never got an email notification thanking me for taking advantage of the offer, to date still haven’t gotten the $25 offer credit posted.

Called regular customer service to inform them that the offer doesn’t appear to be automatically applying. They punted and wanted me to wait 90 days after the offer ends before “disputing” the missing credit. There’s a special team @ Amex that handles missing offers, but not all regular CSR’s know about them.

If your AMEX Sam’s Club (or any other) offer hasn’t posted within a few days of the transaction posting to your AMEX account, reach out to the following team @ AMEX:

@vegasvegan said in Free $5 Mastercard WYB any of these featured brands: Alexia, Bush’s, or Stouffer’s in any amount from any retailer. Offer good until 3/27/18 or until supplies last. - AllRecipes:

If you google the email address in quotes you can find back issues with the offers.

Did just that and found this 102 page ebook from last year (2017):
http://ebook-dl.com/magazine/allrecipes-march-20172693.pdf

A similar offer from LAST YEAR (2017) is mentioned on page 60. Here’s what the mouse print said then:

Allrecipes Gift-with-Purchase Rules: Receive one reward card valued at $5 when you purchase any of the featured brands between 1/17/17 and 3/28/17. Send in your original receipt with featured brand(s) circled to: Allrecipes Magazine, Attn: Stock Up and Score Gift, 805 Third Avenue, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10022, or email a photo of your original receipt with featured brand(s) circled to ARPromotions@meredith.com. For either mail-in or email redemption, include your name, address and phone number. Must be U.S.resident, 18 years or older. One (1) gift per household.

In last year’s offer, they also wanted your PHONE NUMBER. May want to include that in case this year’s offer requires it too.

Found the 2018 offer. It’s listed on page 55 of the Feb/Mar 2018 issue, where I haven’t found an official link to that ebook. Here’s that page extracted:

There’s a Sam’s Club in a nearby city that’s on the store closure list, so I figured I’d try for a 90 day extension. Applied, got the following email:

Dear XXXXXXXXXX,

Thanks for being a valued Sam’s Club member.

Your free 3-month membership extension will be active within 3-5 business days.

You can shop at any Sam’s Club location or online at SamsClub.com, where you’ll find tons more items at exclusive prices. Plus, free shipping on many favorites.

You’ll still be able to cancel your membership and request a refund anytime. Just go to the Member Services Desk at any Sam’s Club or call Member Services at the number below.

Questions?
We’re happy to help. Feel free to contact a Member Services Representative at 1-888-746-7726.

Guess I’ll find out in 3-5 days whether my membership extends by 90 days. If they truly grant it, my gut feeling is that anybody who requests a 90 extension will be approved.

@lorenw said in Chick-fil-A gift cards @ Samsclub.com free ship:

If you want to be ahead, get a deal on the membership that includes food and a gift card, use the membership for 6-8 months, and then get a refund for the entire membership. You get the full amount refunded, no matter where the membership came from, and you keep the food and giftcard, and no up-charge for any of the purchases.

I did this about a year ago. They deducted the GC amount from the membership refund (tried fighting it, escalating to management, etc.).

Since I used the GC for purchases I would have anyway made @ Sam’s, it effectively came out to a free membership. It did not end up being a (cash) money maker, but I did receive a free rotisserie chicken, pizza, etc. upon joining. (They didn’t deduct the value of the food items from the membership refund).

Follow the directions in the OP for a code. See the 3rd post in this thread (by @fivetalents ) for instructions on how to follow those directions.

@calwatch said in Merrill Edge $100 - $1,000 sign-up bonus (requires $20K - $200K of assets to be invested):

This offer periodically pops up. It is good for anyone, no attendance required. If you miss it it will come around in a few months.

I only saw it available last year around the end of the year, and I failed to notice the same offer again this year until around now. (I discovered this year’s CPN code on my own by manipulating the CPN code from last year, but thereafter I found the link in the OP posted on Nov 7, 2017 at some investor web site or blog).

@goldsheet said in Merrill Edge $100 - $1,000 sign-up bonus (requires $20K - $200K of assets to be invested):

This limited time offer is valid only for TradersExpo attendees ?

Didn’t notice that when I posted the deal, but as @calwatch mentioned, it’s likely unenforced. The 2016 offer (which didn’t list that exclusion) was available at almost the same URL:
https://www.merrilledge.com/offers/1000offer?src_cd=lvexpo16

The CPN code for last year’s offer (2016) ended in “16”.
The CPN code for this year’s offer (2017) ends in “17”.

Offer expires Dec 15, 2017. See details here:
https://www.merrilledge.com/offers/1000offer?src_cd=lvexpo17

Also makes you eligible for BofA Preferred Rewards, where $100K of assets @ BofA or Merrill gets you Platinum Honors status (75% bonus on BofA CB, 100 free trades/month, etc):
