@my4mainecoons We’ll see if there’s a surge in my email spam. And if it’s still $945 shipped (plus tax) when it finally is available…

I was interested in the same model, after deciding the Echelon Rower is likely not as durable (only 1 yr warrranty), plus their high app subscription cost. Plus I’ve used these at the YMCA and it’s a good workout. So I looked on Amazon, and currently through them it’s only from Amazon Marketplace sellers, with $1510 the lowest price to get one in October. Then I went to the Concept 2 site, and behold it shows up as $900; however, they have a waiting list you sign up for…7-8 weeks is their estimate. Plus $45 UPS ground. None on craigslist near me either. So I filled out their waiting list form (probably a mistake).

(deja vu all over again, except the limit 1 part)
These typically sell out fast, so I have to remember to mark it expired soon…

@mrvietnam About that Animal Welfare Certified Rotisserie Chicken…is it local? Is it named Colin?
Portlandia scene

@mistercheap I’m guessing that a Staples order paid all with Rewards points wouldn’t qualify?
Just curious if anyone had success doing that on a similar prior offer…

@mistercheap Wow! I didn’t see anything related in My eBay messages, so I thought it wouldn’t apply for me.
However (and it’s not like I need these), I found it worked on $33 mixed lot of 250 ink cartridges for Staples rewards!

Mix lot of 250 Virgin & Non Virgin Empty Ink Cartridges for Staples Rewards
Which would bring it under $10 bucks after taxes w/ free shipping…

UPDATE: I still have plenty of used ink cartridges left, so I ended up using the $25 coupon on a set of $40 toner cartridges for a Canon color laser printer–sweet!
Brought that down to $16.27 w/ tax. Hey, that’s cheaper than buying “used” from the Amazon Warehouse!

@mistercheap In the past, I’ve had mixed results on these TCB offers after activating. Orders from Staples didn’t register at all (and I used CC, not rewards). And with another purchase from Walmart, the bonus payout got “Declined”. Fwiw, it worked on eBay orders.

This double ink recycling thing is great. But I don’t understand how Staples keeps afloat, between this and selling $0.25 items with free shipping and no minimum. It seems similar to the Sears/Kmart SYWR program “business model”, if you can call it that. And we saw how that turned out…

@saphira2021 Thanks for posting the pretzels NBPR rebate!
For once, VA residents don’t need to pay double ($10) for what other state residents do!

Found in my junk mail folder this morning, with that subject line. Followed by “Thanks for being you”.
I rarely get any of these goodies from Staples btw.

Note: To use towards your next in-store purchase. Valid between 7/14/2020-7/19/2020
Has a unique 16 number code.

@mrvietnam R.I.P. Souplantation.
Afaik, they were never here on the East Coast. But I always loved going to them when in SoCal.

@my4mainecoons Please forgive my laziness, and perhaps this belongs elsewhere, but I recently got a Staples email saying my Plus membership will renew in 30 days.
I suspect it must have been on sale at “half price” (~$25) in July 2019. So I’m trying to figure out some stuff…

• Can I buy a Plus membership using Staples Rewards?
• If I let it expire somehow (not sure how to unlink my CC), what are the odds are another half-price Plus membership sale will happen soon?

TIA for any help with this.

@briarycliffs Hot Diggety Dog! (x2) Thanks Cliffs!

@my4mainecoons I was responding to where you said the Heineken $20 rebate being a MM even if you live in a BPR state, thanks to shopping at Walmart where a 12-pack is $13.78
About the rebate link to send to a friend, it’s only valid if they access it on a mobile device (cell phone), and it is the same one briarycliffs put in the original post

@my4mainecoons Unless you live in VA - they didn’t even bother with the usual asterisk on VA (VA*) in this offer.
Instead, I found the bad news nestled in the terms.

@briarycliffs Missed this one somehow…? (saw sign for it in Kroger)

@ctcarl said in Free CompuClever Systems' Ultra Office Suite: Word, Spreadsheet, Slide & PDF Compatible:

Edited title to reflect the fact that the publisher of this software is CompuClever Systems Inc. There is no such product as "Microsoft Ultra Office".

they are listed as a ‘Microsoft Silver Partner’ at the link, whatever that means.

Likely it means that Microsoft gives them some silver in exchange for your collecting your data.

@mrsguin I suspect that Ultra Office is a rebadged version of the (free) LibreOffice, only optimized for “data sharing” with Microsoft.
RE the first part of that, scroll to the bottom of this page: http://www.compuclever.com/products/ultra-office-suite/

@briarycliffs Thanks, saw a couple of interest here in VA, including AB-2147 - DEVILS BACKBONE 15-PACK $5 REBATE.
Can’t get excited about all the “seltzer” and “spritzer” brews though…?

@ablang Search on assentover.com, aka assentover.club or Dailtsy, brings up a raft of scam-related hits.
Great monitor, unbelievable price, but good luck with that!

@dangeruss That even goes double in the case you have two wives!

@mrsguin Have these been officially endorsed by Simon Cowell, of “America’s Got Talent”?

@mrsguin Hmm, was there a “roll back” on previous replies to this deal?
Such as size 32x32 available for same price, etc?

@mrsguin Size 32x32 in charcoal is also the same price.
Congratulations to any guy who can wear size 30 waist pants!

@dionaea Consider searching the Amazon Warehouse for a generic drum to use in your Brother laser, vs. buying one from Staples.
I may be lucky, but I’ve had great success ordering “used” generic drums for Brother printers (condition “Very good” or “Like new”) that way, and at a small fraction of the price of a genuine Brother drum.
Usually it’s just a packaging issue, e.g. wrinkle on box, with the drum still sealed in a plastic bag. Same deal with generic Brother toner cartridges. To top it off, if you have Prime there’s no shipping fee. YMMV of course.

@fivetalents New code for $15-Off-$60 on online orders is 30231
Note: Coupon valid online only, not applicable in retail stores. Ends 3/27/20. Offer excludes technology/PCs.
Availability for in-store pickup may vary by location.

@mrsguin Great movie
More laughs in the first 5 minutes than I’ve had in lots of recent comedies.

@mrsguin Thanks. I’m seeing a $10 coupon, which makes it $19.99. Worth it, methinks.

@briarycliffs It’s amazing how fast those AB rebates get processed and sent out. I got my Stella Artois Mastercard rebate (for leap day) only 7 days after I filled out their online form!
Now if they’d just cut us VA residents a break, including us in more offers (and without special terms)…

@myisland said in Free After Rebate Stella Artois Beer 6-Pack, 12-Pack, 24-Pack - 32 Select States Only:

@my4mainecoons beer rebate website never required me to do any Facebook nonsense

Me either (good thing too, as I don’t participate in FB). And AB rebates are the fastest/most reliable I’ve ever seen!
Just today I got my Stella Artois prepaid Mastercard in the mail, a mere 7 days after filling out their online form!

@mrsguin Wow that is a beast, for sure! A lot of generator there for $650.
On the other hand, keeping that 12 gallon gas tank filled might eat into your cost savings

@briarycliffs Thanks Cliffs for posting all the offers. Of course us folk in VA don’t get free beer (intoxicating words), only half off.
Still, it makes this brew cost close to my normal swill, and that $7 rebate card is handy to pay for shipping on otherwise free orders from Sears/Kmart.
Those AB rebates are super quick and dependable! Only now I need to worry about the payout limit…

@mrsguin "This product is currently unavailable"
Just as well, as I’m more of an infrequent trail runner.

@fivetalents I didn’t get an email invite; however, it looks like I qualified anyway…

@mrvietnam said in Staples.com Free Shipping No Minimum (exp date not known):

Now if only there was anything worth buying at Staples with their exorbitant prices.

They do PM to amazon. At least in store and kiosk orders.

I can confirm this, at least for in-store price matching. They do require price-matched items to be “sold by Amazon”, i.e. not any marketplace seller.

@c3 Same here. Definitely not as fast or dependable as RMN, but they’ve come through on some big payouts for me as well.
I did notice on this offer they’ve added this in boldface in the terms:
Purchases with some merchants may take longer to track than others. Please allow up to 14 days for your bonus to track before contacting customer service.

Any other Amazon Prime member seeing the Amazon free no-rush shipping option (with $1 digital credit) no longer available when buying low-cost items, i.e. anything over $1?

Recently I’m only seeing two shipping options: regular Amazon FREE Prime delivery, or else FREE Amazon Day Delivery (with no digital credit).

I’m not sure, but I think I opted once for Amazon Day Delivery, which at the time (I think) offered a $1 digital credit.
Really regretting that move now!

@myisland Er, not exactly. Sorry, I forgot about the subscription thing.
(Most of us craft brewers just assume that everybody has a subscription to the WSJ.)
Maybe try this link?

@briarycliffs Sadly, nobody in my town sells LaBatt anymore.
I remember my late father-in-law always had some in his fridge, and I enjoyed it with him.

@mistercheap Wow, that didn’t last long…

@fivetalents Nice. I see Staples rewards were issued a couple days ago as well!

@briarycliffs What I’ve discovered (at least for me) is that when you pay using SYWR points along with PayPal, you can’t just pay for shipping alone with PayPal.

During checkout, you first see your estimated total, including the sales tax and shipping cost. Then you apply your points, knocking the cost down to no lower than the shipping cost–or possibly a bit more if your points don’t cover the item(s) plus tax.

Unless your “after points applied” total isn’t at least HALF the original estimated total, when you select to CHANGE payment type (from a credit card), the PayPal option will no longer be there. You have to use a credit card. I’m a tad reluctant to do that, at least with any bank card I own!

However, I’ve found that you can use one of those Visa or Mastercard rewards cards, like the ones issued for all those AB beer rebates, to pay for shipping only. And any little bit remaining on that card you can roll into your Amazon gift card account.

Quite a far stretch from the SYWR glory days of yore!

@mrsguin Dang! I really hate having to go into the attic at this time of the year!

@dangeruss At the moment, red costs another $6.10, but can do another 5 pages.
Iconic red stapler
The downside is the red ones tend to “walk away” while you’re gone.

Wow that is some lengthy “ineligible product list”!
It seems like they could just shorten it up to say just about any cell phone and/or Apple product of any kind…?
