If you are an Xfinity customer, check your rewards. I have an offer for free peacock plus at platinum or diamond rewards level. Free peacock seems to last indefinitely as long as account remains at level and in good standing.

Comcast/Xfinity gave us all Peacock Plus for free until earlier this year, then they took it away. I am at Gold status and the offer is not showing on my Rewards page. Maybe because I took the $20 per year offer?

See above bolding. For me, the offer says rewards level must be Platinum or Diamond. So maybe you are not a high enough level for the current offer.

@mrvietnam said in New TopCashBack $2.50 bonus on a $15+ purchase starting 12/20 and running through 12/22/23:

In this time for $15 at Big Lots. I usually buy Walmart gift cards, but they don’t scan at the SCO.

You can add Walmart cards to the app, and then use Walmart Pay (by scanning the QR code on the screen) to use gift cards at self-checkout lines.

I noticed today that the daily bonus spin has disappeared. I think I got 10,000 points once, but all the other times it was rather piddly. Oh well.

Doesn’t work for me.
UPDATE: Code is valid via app only.

Be sure to do this today, I think it’s a one-day deal for “National Trivia Day.”

As an BK aside, I noticed yesterday’s “Whopper Wednesday” deal was $3.49, up from the long-running $3. Happy New Year! 🎉

Banner shows on home screen. Best deal at Domino’s in a long time.

Yep, this was a good deal. Got a small tater tots upgraded to a medium for the purchase. Sandwich and side for $1.29 total.

@mistercheap said in Burger King February Challenge - 400 Crowns w/Three x $5+ Purchase - Exp 2/29:

@yoregano please note, you have to make THREE $5+ purchases to earn 400 crowns. If you regularly spend that much its ok, but not for the parsimonious among us.

Well, like many restaurant offers, YMMV depending on location and who knows what. Because the offer is indeed 400 crowns with a single $5 purchase for me.

Open the app to activate the challenge. 400 Crowns is enough for a Bacon Cheeseburger.
Check app for details. The actual purchase requirements vary per user.

Thanks, got one this time before the code expired.

When I logged into the BK app, I got a popup short survey and when I finished, I got an offer for a BOGO Whopper good through 2/17. Perfect deal for you and your SO for Valentine’s Day! Or if you are in the lonely hearts club, you can just get a single Whopper for $3 today since it’s Whopper Wednesday.

Wendy’s has this: The Perfect Pair - Buy One Dave’s Single®, Spicy Chicken or Classic Chicken Sandwich, Get One Free! Valid through 2/18.

Check your app/account for availability. YMMV as usual.

Same results again this week for me. I used only the $1 single deal this week, but both $1 and $2 offers renewed again on Thursday with a new expiration date of 3/20.

Back again. Both offers expiring 3/27.

Finally got 32 crowns a couple times. Never got 64. Got the free drink with a $1 purchase on three of the last six attempts.

Special offer today: Text the word ECLIPSE to 251251 for a BOGO Whopper. Claim today only, valid through 4/15. (I’m skipping it, I’ll just wait for Whopper Wednesday.)

I guess for 5 bux, it’s not a high-risk proposition from a value standpoint, but I’m always wary of off-branded tech gear from Amazon. Fakespot gives a review rating of “F” for these…

I’ll look for it tomorrow. Thanks. Update: I received the email, too. So hopefully this is a nationwide offer and not regional.

No activation required. Just order with another item and the cold brew will be free. Remember to add cold foam if desired for no additional charge.

@yoregano said in Burger King APP Free 25 Crowns for "Crown that Cuisine" survey:

This seems to stay in the app after you do it and get the initial reward, but you don’t get credit for doing the ranking again after the first time.

Right, it’s not a game, it’s a survey. surveys are always 1x limit per account.

I figured it would disappear from one’s account after doing it. 🤷

Don’t think so, when they had the create your own whopper survey to get the whopper free w/$1, that was 1x per account, but you could still create more custom whoppers after but no perk.

That one was a little different. You only got the free whopper coupon once, but additional whopper creations gave you entries in the contest.

Got 25 Crowns yesterday, and the Whopper w/ $1 purchase again today.

Check your app and activate if available. Challenges tend to vary per user in terms of requirements and rewards.

I get these types cards all the time. Virtual is fine for me since I use them to pay utility bills and such online. You can get a physical card instead but… there a fee that gets deducted from the initial value, thus negating the bonus/savings for getting the card in the first place.

I didn’t see a banner or need to activate, mine just shows in my regular offers tab. But thanks for the tip, I wouldn’t have likely seen this otherwise.

FYI, better offers do show up from time to time at other cash back sites. I signed up several months ago through Revenue Universe, an “offer wall” partner via Swagbucks. Every now and then, some of the wall partners offer double or triple normal value for sign ups and click-throughs and such. At the time, the offer was tripled, and in this case it was 2700 SB for sign-up and the net was a $15 MM.

Heh, cute action in the spin-the-wheel to get your points. Mine spun to 250, then rotated back the other way to land on 25.

@mistercheap said in Burger King Whopper Wednesday now $3.99 (was $3):

@yoregano gotta keep up my friend!

Yeah, I guess I don’t always venture into other sub-groups beyond HD. Agreed, it’s getting harder to find deals at BK, though they still tend to be better overall than most other fast food joints. At least it’s still fairly easy to accumulate crowns.

Another situation to look out for potential BF/holiday offers.

@ctujackbauer said in DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN? $1 for any muffin at DUNKIN with activated APP OFFER, no other purchase req'd ends 9/16:

@kimi said in DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN? $1 for any muffin at DUNKIN with activated APP OFFER, no other purchase req'd ends 9/16:

@yoregano I was going to use my mobile app to order the muffin today (to get the bonus pts), but muffins aren’t on my app menu. Muffins are normally on my app menu so I think they intentionally removed it. (Since I was going to DD anyway, I purchased the muffin in-store. I ordered something else to get the bonus pts.)

Muffins are in the Donuts, Bagels & Bakery section of the app.

Yeah, what Agent Bauer said. Dammit, Chloe!

Finally got 50 Crowns. Three of the last four days, the same thing, free small onion rings with a purchase.

@mrvietnam said in BURGER KING APP: New FRIGHT BITE game, ring bell, win crowns or food prize now to 10/31:

Today I won a coupon for a free Whopper with $3+ purchase

That’s not too bad, given Whopper Wds is $4 now. So you’ll get a Whopper and $3 worth of other food for less than one Whopper on Weds.

I really did enjoy my $1 chicken sandwich yesterday! Besides crowns only prize so far I’ve cared about/used.

I got the Whopper with $3+ offer today, too. Gonna get it with a large onion rings for $3.09. Pretty good deal.

Turned out to be a nice and easy game. The food prizes were mostly lame, but I racked up over 400 Crowns for the month.

@ctujackbauer said in Burger King $1 whopper offer in the app, valid 11/12 to 11/17:

100 crowns for selecting your favorite Million Dollar Whopper in today’s email titled: “Whopper Drop”

(use phone’s email to open)

I didn’t get an email, but the offer was in the app. I also have a challenge to purchase each of the three special Whoppers by 11/27 (must be separate transactions, and must be at full price!) to earn 1,000 Crowns or a piece of exclusive merch.

For those that don’t know, both MyPoints and Swagbucks are sister companies owned by Prodege. (InBox Dollars is the other sibling.) I’ve been using both MP and SB for years. Both tend to offer similar and often the same offers, but the rates can vary. One needs to compare to get the best value on offers like this. Sometimes SB is higher, sometimes MP is. SB redemption is straightforward, 1 SB = 1¢. However, there are discounted redemption options. For example, once per month you can redeem for certain $25 cards once a month at 12-13% off face value. For MyPoints, redemptions vary somewhat depending on what type of gift card you get. I typically get prepaid MasterCards, which are redeemed at 1,500 MP per $10 of value. So for this particular offer, 18,700 MP would be worth $124.67 to me. MyPoints does not offer a monthly discounted card redemption like SB does.

Yeah, if you do the bird hunt enough, you’ll eventually “max out” to the “only need one more” level on all the actual prizes and get nothing but PDEs thereafter, unless you do indeed end up a lucky winner. These TCB contests have always been this way. I won the 25¢ prize and now am just getting entries. I know I won $2 and maybe $10 in previous contests, but never scored a bigger prize.

I used it for a Walmart purchase and also got the 1000 points immediately pending.

@ukedog said in $10 in Paypal rewards when paying $10+ with Paypal:

Question: Do you need to install the PayPal app on your cell phone to get this offer?
Trying to avoid cell phone-conducted commerce as much as possible…

No, I clicked the link on a desktop.

@yoregano said in $10 in Paypal rewards when paying $10+ with Paypal:

My 1,000 points credited to my account today.

“credited” meaning available to cash out? My transaction from 3/21 is still pending.

Yes, available to redeem. I ordered from Walmart on 3/20, FWIW.

Crispy chicken wrap with $1 purchase two days in a row for me.
Update: Another chicken wrap, three days in a row.
Update again: This thing is rigged. I got a Whopper Jr. with purchase once, every other time has been a chicken wrap. Ridiculous!

I finally got something different, 25 Crowns today. But it’s still been head-shakingly odd for me. Only twice so far have I gotten something other than a chicken wrap.
Update: 25 Crowns again today.
Update: Maybe the tide is turning, 75 Crowns today, the best yet. Three days in a row without a chicken wrap!
Update: Another couple of chicken wraps , but finally, an Original Chicken!

Something weird and glitchy going on. I haven’t yet been able to see the game in the app yet today. I ended up logging in via a desktop browser and was able to access the game that way. And for another account on a different phone, the game showed fine. All for naught regardless, won another damn chick wrap.

Check your rewards. For me at least, a regular hamburger can be redeemed for 125 Crowns (instead of 250) for the entire month of May. As an aside, I also have a “Crown Challenge” through 5/18, make three separate $5+ purchases to get a bonus 550 Crowns. (Challenges are definitely YMMV in terms of requirements and rewards. Hint: if you find receipts from non-rewards purchases, you can enter the code on the bottom to earn credit. )

I got the Whopper Jr. with $1+, too.

Flying bird under Advance Auto Parts

That’s a random code, not the daily clue (guaranteed). Click the green banner at the bottom of the page and go to the “daily clues” tab to find the one that everyone can get. Today’s clue bird is at Staples. Otherwise, random browsing will produce random results for other potential birds.

@mistercheap said in TopCashback - Summer Treats Game 2025 - Ends 8/7:

Game Update: Summer Treats has been temporarily paused due to an unexpected issue. We’re in the process of resolving the matter. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This was odd, I got a couple birds on one account about an hour ago, after the announcement but before I realized it. It confused me when the daily clue bird didn’t show on another account and that’s when I went to FB and saw the announcement.

Well, so much for that, I think. Recent FB post from TCB:

We understand that the unexpected pause of our Summer Treats game has caused some confusion and inconvenience, and we want to sincerely thank each one of you for your patience.
Due to a technical glitch, the game awarded five times the planned total prize pool in a single day. We’re currently working hard behind the scenes to fix the problem so that we can bring the game back in the future.
We have considered the matter carefully and we’re pleased to say we’re able to honor all of the winnings.
Summer Treats is a free game we love creating for our community, and we’re committed to delivering the best experience possible next time.
We truly apologize for the disruption and appreciate your understanding and continued support of TopCashback!
Please stay tuned for the announcement of our $500 grand prize winner, who will be chosen in the coming days.

I’m just hung up on the idea of a 20 oz beverage potentially costing $3.99. I wouldn’t spend that much on a 2-liter.

@my4mainecoons said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

I didn’t say that the 10% vaccine q wouldn’t stack with J4u. I was pointing out that by law you cannot get a coupon discount on certain products like tobacco, gc, alcohol, lottery tickets, etc.

2 j4u won’t stack. So if Zillions gc are 10x that won’t become 20x on the weekend.

Usually Zillions are part of the $10/$10 coupon wyb $50. That’s not 10x points.
Do you have a different offer such that you earn 10x points and not a $10/$10 q wyb $50?

Do you have a different offer from the other j4u stores? We get 4x the value on gc on Sat & Sun.

Not sure if I’m completely following you, but my J4U deals has a 10X points offer on Zift cards ending 8/9. The $10 wyb $50 is a separate offer not requiring activation. So I will be able to get both deals when I purchase a card.

@sonofzeus said in Free Starry or Starry Zero 20 oz up to $3.99 with online rebate (requires Mobile Wallet):

@my4mainecoons 10% off vaccine coupon stacks with J4U redemptions.

Yes, as long as the items are not on the excluded list. Percent-off coupons have never applied to gift cards and other categories like 'Coons mentioned. Hey, try it and see if it works. If you actually do see a discount on the gift card, report back!

See my comment in the post about $10 coupon when you buy $50 gift cards. I only had the 10x offer apply to my purchase.

@my4mainecoons said in Acme (sister chains?) Save $10 on your next grocery purchase wys $50 in select gift cards (Zillions included) plus bonus points where offered:

@yoregano You will only get one j4u offer: 10x, not 20x, 12x or 14x. No one believes me 😋. I’m surprised that they took off 100 points for the $10 coupon.

Yes, this was mainly about clarification, not surprise, though deducting points for the coupon was a bummer. I’m sure sonofzeus will be outraged whatever the case. 🤪

The offer is a little annoying in that it states being accessible “once every 24-hour period” as opposed to once per calendar day, so it requires more attention to try and use it daily. I added mine from yesterday in the afternoon, so it still shows as activated (currently late morning).
