@mmyk said in Kroger: $150 Arizona Mastercard Gift Card $140 + $1 Shipping:

I typically have decent CB % on groceries, drugstores, travel, etc. between different cc’s. Plan to use these for the payments that don’t get higher CB. Unfortunately most stores don’t allow using these to buy other Prepaid cards which used to be sweet when there were moneymaking discounts for buying Visa or Master prepaid cards at Safeway brand stores.

I think I was able to use a prepaid card fairly recently to buy another prepaid card at Jewel (Safeway/Alberston’s), but it now must be below the value of the card used for purchase. The cashier/mgr. may or may not balk, but I’m saying the POS system should accept it.

This coincides with the resumption of Menard’s starting their 11% rebates. If you live in a state where there are Menard’s stores exist, Home Depot has traditionally matched them with their own rebate for the last several years. Also, the rebate period will likely continue through most of the rest of the year, for as long as Menard’s continues to offer their rebate.

Sure enough, another rebate period started this week. I expect this will continue for most of the year. Typically, this rebate begins in February and ends before Black Friday sales begin each year.

I got my first Amazon code today, ordered on 3/2. So it odes seem that KFR is sending them out consistently.

@sonofzeus said in JUST4U Saturday Sampler 8oz Patties of NATURES OWN Plant Based Meat (conf'd at Acme) Clip by 3/27, redeem by 3/28:

@ctgolfer I can see the offer via your link but cannot load after signin.

Same for me. Must be a glitch of all the partner stores using the same basic platform that it shows when not signed in and disappears after signing in. On the main J4U coupons page that lists the various categories, “Saturday Sampler” will show when there is such an offer and that category is no showing for me when logged in.

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

To add a smidge of clarity, there’s no reason to wait 'til the first two weeks of the following month to select rewards, as there are April rewards and May rewards, and anything earned in April was only usable on the April rewards, so what we see is what we get - no overlapping between months.

Yep, I discovered this as well. Another way of looking at it is, if none of the prizes interest you in a given month, might as well skip it and try again the next month.
I ended up being a “good citizen” and donated my prizes to the hunger campaign. I already have two pairs of the awesome Cheez-it socks so I think I’m set for now.

Lots of gift card deals going on at Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/b/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_1PXWSP_1a1_w?node=21608725011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-9&pf_rd_r=0QX13AVGHT96YKPJK85D&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=3828077a-2fc8-4c23-9b4d-5cf1f436e306&pf_rd_i=2238192011

@somanycats said in Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable 6ft (reg. $19.99) FREE A/C + FS @ Amazon (possible price mistake):

@yoregano I didn’t get that message. My account still shows it as ordered.

My order still shows in my account, too. Not cancelled… at least yet. We shall see, but it doesn’t seem promising.

@pakle said in Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable 6ft (reg. $19.99) FREE A/C + FS @ Amazon (possible price mistake):

I just got an email from Amazon
"We are writing to let you know that shipment of the following order has not been confirmed by the seller within the expected timeframe"
I have a feeling I’m not going to get it.

Same. Likely everyone who tried to get in on this got this response.

@ctgolfer said in Bed Bath & Beyond 'Beyond+' Membership (Valid thru January 2, 2023) (can do it again!):

here’s the PhW affiliate link from my previous post (hopefully it works for those interested) -

Yep, that works. The link in Mr C’s original post was not right but has since been fixed.

Today I received, and presumably everyone else, the expected cancellation email for this.

Regionally available, presumably. No go for me in the Chicago area.

Not something I’m going to get too worked up about, but the tote bag I ordered more than a month ago has still not arrived.

@mrvietnam said in FREE $2 Amazon Prime Day Credit for Prime Users - 1 per customer - 3,125 credits available per day - resets at 5pm PDT, 8pm EDT - exp soon:

Wow. I clicked the link at 5:11 pm PT and they were already all out of $2 credits. Tomorrow I will try right at 5 pm PT.

Considering that zillions of people use Amazon, and only 3,125 credits are available per day, it’s safe to think that they get fully claimed pretty quickly after reset.

Pfft, a little late to the party. Same here, several thousand points lost that I would have gotten a few mag subs with, at least. Oh well, fun while it lasted, I guess.

@my4mainecoons said in [Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes over this, but three months and counting, I still have not received my shopping bag.

Just received an email that my April tote bag has shipped.

Yep, got the shipped email too, and received the bag today.

One potential annoyance with making single item purchases is that sale prices and coupons often won’t work. For example, coupons are often “$X off when you buy 2/3/4” and items are sometime only on sale when purchase in quantity, such as “$3.99 each or 4/$10”.

Wow, nine months since the last comment in this thread. I guess Coke rewards is pretty much dead. I wonder if anything worthwhile will be happening as the holidays approach.

All GCs still in stock at the moment. If you need a product for a receipt, I found family-sized packages of Halloween-themed cereal on clearance at Walmart for $1.12 (regularly $4.48).

@ctujackbauer said in 2022 Official Holiday GC Gift Card bonus thread:
https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/december2019.html

This is a good reference link. That said, I don’t know of gift cards from any major retailers that are subject to fees or expiration. All of that sort of criteria must be disclosed. Most gift cards I have seen specifically state that they do not expire nor incur fees.

@mrvietnam said in Hulu (w/ ads): $1.99/mo for 12 months. exp 11/28/22:

Good deal, but last year it was only 99 cents for 12 months at this time. So a 100% price increase. I will still probably get it though. Always nice to have Hulu to choose from among my streaming options. I am really liking Tubi, too, and it’s free.

True about the price increase this year. But Hulu has been running this November promo for several years now and sometimes it’s been $.99 per month, sometimes it’s been $1.99. It’s still about the best mainstream streaming deal out there. Glad to see the Disney+ add-on for $2.99 is available.

The best option is of course to give up paying these mega-companies for tv at all, but that can be a discussion for another day.

@ctujackbauer said in FREE Med Holiday Roast at Dunkin today with app offer (Friday only):

Mine is through 11/27 and usable once per day (per app and email)

Same for me in Chicagoland.

Well, this stuff is no good for you anyway, so the high prices are a good deterrent to stocking up.

Seriously, do we consider Coke Rewards officially dead? The holidays came and went without any offers. The only “rewards” that have been available for quite some time are for donations (nothing wrong with that, I guess, but what a far cry from what things used to be like).

Bummer, just saw this now, and the code is expired (max number of claims has been reached).

MyPoints has the equivalent offer for 170 points. InBox Dollars may also, but I haven’t used them in a while. For those that don’t know, all three of these companies have Prodege as the parent ownership company.

I got the offer and used it in-store. Since there is no minimum purchase amount, I still got the credit while also redeeming several dollars worth of rewards that were set to expire at the end of the month.

Got it this time. Saw the code entry offer for last month too late and it had expired.

If you can’t see the offer at your local store, apply coupon code 5177. Alternatively, you can get a large 2-topping pizza for $7.99 with code 5173.

Maybe they’re on to us when using this offer to buy gift cards. I had been typically buying DD gift cards with this offer. You can get either a $10 or $20 card, but not $15, so I’d have to get $20 in cards for this offer. Still better than all of the other store choices I looked at—those are a minimum $50 card. EDIT: I see Kohl’s has a $10 card, too.

Nothing bu crowns so far for me. And boy, the app/game can be glitchy. I’ve played multiple times today, way more than three, but it’s not recording all my plays and I haven’t reached my max 30 crowns for the day. Guess I’ll come back later and see if it has sorted itself out.

@chryslerguy said in Burger King App "Meltness" Game, earn a minimum of 30 crowns a day and possible instant win prizes to 3/23:

Anyone get an instant win? Seems impossible to get a basket.

This is surely another one of those games where the results are random, I don’t think there is actually any trick to be able to get a basket. Like those digital “spin the wheel” games where they make it look like it’s an equal chance to hit the jackpot space as any other but really, it’s not.

@hbg1 said in Amazon Subscribe & Save - Anyone else notice the change?:

@yoregano I’m not sure if you do or don’t see the “change” option like I have, when it forces you to purchase immediately for the subscription. Today I was able to use that link to force an item to go into my April S&S order instead of being delivered right away.

Thanks, I’m still futzing around and trying to make sense of it all. Using fivetalent’s tip/trick, I may have gotten it to work By making sure that my April S&S delivery setup has at least 5 items/orders in it.

@mrvietnam said in [Walgreens moneymaker spend $2 ac for $4 rewards

I think I will just buy something for $10 and pay with Wags Cash and then return it tomorrow and get a store credit. Has anyone tried that before? Nothing particularly exciting this week (besides the two MM toothbrushes). I probably should buy something I don’t mind keeping, just in case the return doesn’t go as planned.

Everybody has their preferences, so dunno what you like, but I often get Scott Comfort Care toilet paper with the $1.25 coupon applied, makes it $3.75. I also got this week Arm & Hammer laundry detergent buy 1 get 2 free, so it’s three for $7.49. (Prices for me in IL, maybe prices are higher for you out in expensive LaLa land.)

Ah, nostalgia. I used to go on free cone day for several years but B&J’s gradually closed up shop near me and there are only two left in the greater Chicago area, neither of which are close.

Heard back from TCB support. They acknowledged a technical error on their part, and resolved it by refunding my CB to my account. However, this is frustrating since the 10% bonus is expired, so now I can’t get the bonus by redeeming again.

They should have offered you a courtesy credit of 10% on your next redemption up to $2.50 to $3 since they give that amount as bonus cash back regularly.

I replied back and they manually added 10% to my account CB total, so all good. I will say I’m pleased with their responsiveness.

@ctujackbauer said in 20% Cashback on Select GC's at SWAGBUCKS (Red Robin, Gap, Build A Bear, Etc) Unk Exp:

Be sure to print your e-gift card to a PDF file to save on your computer, or even a paper copy (most cashiers know how to scan paper copies or input the numbers) because the link to your gift card sent by email dies after 30 days. MGCP has an option to resend the email on every gift card, but I haven’t tried that for gift cards purchased more than 30 days ago.

I have had no problems accessing gift cards older than 30 days, even going back several months.

As always, gift cards are a good way to take advantage of this promo. They process and track very quickly in my experience.

Thanks for the tip, but I don’t seem to have it, so must be regional availability.

Round #2, coming tomorrow!

@angryeyebrows said in Walmart+ half price:

Paramount+ goes up to $59.99 this month…included in Walmart+ for $49.

This would be the way to consider this worthwhile. Not enough value in WM+ for me otherwise. But I’m already in a one-year promo for P+ from last BF, so no go for me right now. Maybe they’ll do tis again around BF and I will reconsider.

Worked for me. No frozen coke deal in my area, so I got a soft serve cone for $1 instead. I also was able to use a Happy gift card (the ones that are usable at a collection of various stores and process as credit cards) as the form of payment in a mobile order.

Anybody take advantage of these deals? The only one I’m going to do is—heads-up for tomorrow (Friday, 7/28)—$10 in rewards on a $10+ pick-up order.

Got mine. Note that you can’t combine this offer with other offers/rewards in the same transaction. But you can just place separate orders one after the other.

Round three. 03TACOTUESDAY

Yes, I got a version of this, too. Mine is promoted for “Bears fans” (Chicago area) and only shows the offer valid on Mondays through October.

Grrr, I always see these too late. Max redemptions reached. But still appreciate the heads-up.

CURRENT UPDATE
I haven’t done a S&S order for the last couple of months, but tried again today. The good news is, S&S seems to be (mostly) working the way it should. That is, when choosing to buy an item that is S&S eligible, it adds an item to one’s group/collective S&S order with a set ship date, and not requiring an immediate order. One anomaly remains in that it doesn’t allow gift cards to be applied at the time of order. You can, however, edit the order after it is placed and change the payment method to apply a gift card balance if available.
So, the main problem is solved, for now. We’ll see if I have a new update next month.

As always, gift cards are a great option for these offers. I bought a $15 Taco Bell card and the cash back was tracked and pending to my account within minutes.

@dionaea said in Hulu 99c per month for a year:

I’m already a Hulu subscriber and keep putting it on hold because of the cost. Is there any way to get this deal when I’m neither a new nor a returning subscriber?
