Now it’s been four weeks. Still no check.

@mrvietnam said in Walgreens.com Get $80+ in select P&G Items and make $15+ after ALL OFFERS (points, CB, rebate) Free Ship:

Wow. Good deal. Wish I would have known about this offer yesterday though when tcb was still offering $4 bonus cashback on a $15+ spend.

I’m seeing the $4 TCB bonus is good through today: Simply make your qualifying purchase before 7/6/2020 11:59:59 PM, and the bonus will be added to your account.

I got my $15 card today. I initially had some issues; the rebate house sent me an automated message a couple weeks ago that my receipt was unacceptable as it didn’t show confirmation of shipment, even though it did. As of last week, things still seemed to be unresolved, so it was a nice surprise for it to show up today.
Minor issue, for some reason, I couldn’t activate my card via the website. It wouldn’t accept my zip code. But it worked when I called the phone number instead.

Reminder, the next round begins next Tuesday.

Glad to see it’s back. The previous two weeks, it was a $2 Whopper.

@mistercheap said in FREE Wendy's Frosty Jr. w/Purchase when you buy a Frosty Key Tag for $2 (Unlimited use until 12/31/21):

Wondering if this can be stacked with APP OFFERS (like free chicken sandwich w/any purchase) or they considered it duplication of offers (one offer per order)

But to be honest, I often order the Frosty Jr. as my ‘purchase’ as it’s been as low as 29c in some locations to satisfy the requirement for the free chix or whatever sandwich.

I do all the time. I suppose this falls into the YMMV category as a particular location (or even cashier or manager on duty at a particular time) may respond differently than another. In my case, I’ve never been rejected at my hometown location and I never order without using other coupons. There’s nothing to scan or input for the free frosty; I just show them the tag and they give me one.

Several other cards have promotions, too.

I think it looks like this only one Whopper per account per day. I’m getting one today, will have to see if the offer shows up again tomorrow.

One wonders how it was possible almost a half-hour in, but I seem to have gotten a spot, too.

Edit: I made a screen shot of the confirmation just in case…

As far as Hulu goes, the thing to do is sign up for the annual Black Friday timeframe promo. If you already have a Hulu account, just sign up with a different email. Hulu has been doing this recurring deal for the last, I dunno, five years or so? It has ranged from being $0.99 - $1.99 per month for one year. I realize that this doesn’t do you any good now, you’ll have to wait until next BF for (presumably) the next offer. But there is no reason to not do this deal for the basic Hulu package.

Netflix has never had promo offers, at least not for some time, outside of an occasional first month free trial. Besides looking for discounted gift cards as someone already noted, try searching over at the other famous deal site, you know, the “slippery” one. There has been an off-and-on deal to buy a Google Chromecast that comes bundled with six months of Netflix for more-or-less free.

And yes, as you realize, a Hot Deal is all about a verifiable deal on specific good or services. looking for “useful tips and advice” is Deal Discussion.

@mrvietnam said in Taxes on My Points/Swagbucks redemptions if redemption would put you over $600 in the year:

@frugalpete said in Taxes on My Points/Swagbucks redemptions if redemption would put you over $600 in the year:

is the $600 reporting for Swagbucks and Mypoints combined, or is it $600 each?

Excellent question. I am wondering about that too as I am signed up for both Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars.

It’s separate. Each company, though all three are under the Prodege umbrella of ownership, is distinct from one another. I got the $600 warning from SB but not from MP when I tried to do my final redemption of the year on each.

@connman said in Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes Master Thread:

@yoregano Out of curiosity, which reward? I claimed Amazon GCs (x3 accts) with no issues on the claiming process.

The Amazon card, of course. 😉 It seems like it’s a site problem, not in picking a specific reward.

UPDATE: KFR acknowledged on their FB page that they are aware of the issue and are working on it.

I see Amazon is available as a prize choice, but when I choose it and click the “get that code” button, it just spins endlessly and doesn’t process, so perhaps it hasn’t been re-stocked and their annoying site hasn’t been updated.

I guess Ibotta isn’t accounting for inflation. Rebate is $7.84, but these are $8.48 at my Walmart.

FYI per the terms:
This offer is only redeemable in the following regions:
DE, MD, NJ, PA

PSA-For me, at least, the $7.99 three-topping, everyday carryout deal is cheaper than 50% off if you want three or less toppings. If you want a loaded up extravaganza, then this might be cheaper (but who wants that many toppings on a pizza?).

Yes, I have these in the Chicago area. I also have one for free Bagel Minis with a M/L drink purchase. If they have offers like these on a regular basis, it will help make up for the overall down-valuing of points with the new rewards program.
I’m going to try one of these offers tomorrow and see if it works with the $2 coffee after 2 PM deal that has been ongoing for some time now. (Might not work per the terms saying not combinable with other offers.)
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the free item with purchase offer does not work with the discounted coffee. If you apply the item with purchase offer, it will take off the price of the bakery item but readjust the coffee to regular price. So in my case, I gave up the free item to get the coffee for $2.

@fivetalents Thanks for the suggestion, this seems to have solved the issue. I experimented again with the cotton swabs and when I start from my Subscriptions page to set up a S&S order, the checkout screen is now like what mtnagel showed in an earlier post.

So that is the key—I need to start from my S&S tab in my account settings and not from a regular product page. Good to know, but Amazon shouldn’t be mucking around with the order process giving different results depending on how you start the process.

UPDATE: I’m still getting inconsistent results depending on how a product shows on the page and whether I can add it to my April S&S order or whether it makes an item an immediate order. If I click on a recommended item (that Amazon shows me based on previous order history or something), a yellow “Subscribe now” button shows and adding items this way will go to my monthly order with a longer lead time before shipping. But if I try and search for an item and just go to the general product page, attempting an order this way results in the issue that I first described, an immediate order with the subscription being created for a future order.

The overall situation here is still something of a confusing and frustrating conundrum.

@c3 said in Walgreens moneymaker spend $2 ac for $4 rewards // 2x Vivid Whitening Manual Toothbrush, Free Ship To Store:

@yoregano said in Walgreens moneymaker spend $2 ac for $4 rewards // 2x Vivid Whitening Manual Toothbrush, Free Ship To Store:

Is it six months or a year from earning that they expire if not redeemed?

1 year. 6 months is for activity.

I have plenty of activity and I still get expiring rewards notices almost every month, so I think time and not activity is the only factor, regardless of what the terms may say.
Edit: I guess I could have read the terms MrV posted above, yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying: Earned rewards expire one year after they are earned unless redeemed. For me, I typically have around $2-$5 about to expire, sometimes more. It’s not as much as it used to be since Wags discontinued the Healthy Choices way of earning extra rewards.

I used up a very old BB&B gift card this week at my local closing store this week. My store was actually more recently added to the closing list. Most (still overpriced) items were 40% off. Nothing amazing in terms of value or quality to be found, but, good to get rid of the GC. It’s just as sad to see another retailer going under as it is to say that I don’t think I’m really going to miss it. They no longer had much worthwhile to offer.

Get ready, starts tomorrow.

@mistercheap Thanks, but already expired. Got a “limit reached” message after entering the code.

Last freebie today: 04TACOTUESDAY
Next week: On 9‍/12, we’re teaming up with DoorDash to put it on our tab! We’ll help cover part of your taco order from any participating Mexican restaurant. Remember, when tacos win, we all win. Live Más.

Oh, I had forgotten about this. The code 3GUEST10 is expired. (Per own experience trying it on a new account several days ago and per thread on SD.)

Play daily to potentially earn perks and Crowns. I believe you get 100 Crowns the first time you play, at least that’s what I got.

After playing four consecutive days, my prize today was 200 Crowns.

Be sure to log in today for 66 free Crowns. No purchase necessary.

Today’s deal (12/29) is one of the better ones, a free Original Chicken Sandwich with a $1+ purchase.

One thousand sandwiches isn’t very many, and starting on 1/17… on the stroke of midnight, or what? I guess I’ll put a note on my calendar to check this out, but I have a feeling this will be similar to the Quikly contests where the deal is fully claimed within seconds of going live.

New game started today in the BK app, emphasis on new “cloud” drinks. Play daily to win crowns and other prizes. I won a Med Frozen Cotton Candy Cloud (has foam on top) with a $1 purchase for my first prize.

Today’s deal is free any size onion rings with $1+ purchase.
Birthday deal now through the end of the month is a Whopper can be redeemed for 550 Crowns instead of the usual 750.
I know what I’m having for lunch.

DD offers have overall been lacking in value this year IMO, but this one is pretty good. I’ll wait to get my muffin until next Monday. In my area, there continues to be an ongoing deal for 100 bonus points for ordering ahead on Mondays.

Got my chicken sandwich with bacon which was exactly $1 extra.

@my4mainecoons said in Kohls - $10 promo Kohl's Cash - YMMV - exp 11/10/24:

I received email but not a free $10 KC.

Same here.

@chryslerguy said in TopCashBack another bonus $3 wyb $20 good today only 11/22:

@mrvietnam What store did you buy the egift card from? My go to for TCB bonuses was ACE, but the last four purchases didn’t track… last time I lodged a claim and received a lame excuse… Thanks!

It’s from TCB’s own gift card store. Click the link in the bar at the top of the home page, or here is the link: https://www.topcashback.com/top-gift-cards/

These always track quickly.

I just got an email saying that Disney Movies Anywhere will be shutting down, and they are encouraging users to transfer to and sign up for Movies Anywhere.

I agree. A “YMMV” sub-forum doesn’t make sense. Posting as much concise detail as reasonable in any HD topic, including particular YMMV factors, is the best route.

Sub-forums should more about genres, such as grocery, automotive, etc., not about variables in the shopping experience.

Seems cool. For example, this is a way to effectively watch movies from one’s Google Play library on a Amazon Fire TV since there is not a Google Play app for Fire TV.

@snowplower said in 2 Free AMC tickets for Cokerewards users YMMV Targeted:

This is somewhat of a consolation for those of us who lost a ton of points when cokerewards ended.

You sound as if you weren’t paying attention when the original MCR program ended. Nobody should have lost points; if by that you mean that you had a bunch of unredeemed points when the program ended. There was plenty of advance notice and opportunity to redeem points, and any unentered codes from caps and flaps still have potential use in the new Coke system.

Everyone here should make sure to follow the master Coke rewards thread: https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/645/coke-rewards-official-thread/44. There have been some good rewards lately if you were able to act upon them quickly, like $5 Amazon and Target GCs as well as contests to enter to potentially win prizes and movie tickets.

TCB has other payment methods besides Paypal. There is an incentive to get your cash back in the form of a gift card. At the moment, you can get up to a 10% bonus for cashing out with a retailer gift card.

@dionaea said in Free Blanket via TopCashback & Walmart:

This is a “new members only” deal, right?

Yes, that is important to note. Would help if people would put this in the subject line. (It’s not always the case, sometimes these free-after-cash-back items are valid for existing accounts.)

@gpinzone said in Two (2) free tickets to Six Flags until 12/31/17:

Redeemed.

Nice of you to give these away, but the Free Stuff forum is not for individual, limited giveaways. This belongs in https://phatwalletforums.com/category/26/coupon-trading

@tuskers said in Free Endangered Species Condoms Box:

A post should be rated based on the offer and content, not on how it is presented or exact words in the title

True. I rated the post based on the content.

Given the requirements, this isn’t a true freebie as based on the old FW-standard and thus the new PH-W standard. Based on that, this is posted in the wrong forum. It should be in Contests since there is a competition of sorts to get the item.

Whatever the case, experienced posters know that YMMV and things like that belong in the subject line. That, and also the correct forum to post in the first place.

crickets chirping

tap, tap… “Is this thing on?”

Okay, found more info on a thread at SD. Here’s more info that should have been included in this thread. (Copied directly from the SD thread.)

@ma-barker said in Free eggs up to $2 at Target using coupons.com app:

You can double dip and submit same receipt to Ibotta for an add’l 0.25 credit.

YMMV. No Ibotta offer for me on eggs. I do however have a whopping 15¢ for eggs with Checkout51.

I just submitted a receipt and got a reply that the limit has been reached, so offer is over.

@gpinzone said in Enter 15 Coke Sweepstakes in May, get $2 AMZ Gift Card plus any winnings (select accounts):

Anyone try this yet? How long does it take to get the $2 code?

Does the offer show in your account? If so, why not read the terms & conditions which explains how it works.

You didn’t bother to read through this thread anyway, as Mr C explained it well enough in the first post.
