@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.
I used it for a Walmart purchase and also got the 1000 points immediately pending.
If you go in the afternoon after 2pm and use the self service Kiosk, you’ll often get a bonus offer prompt on the screen to get any pastry for $2.
I get the $2 pastry offer from time to time when using the app. It gives you ten seconds to accept the offer before disappearing. I’ve found that you can accept the offer but you don’t have to redeem it immediately. It will be good until the next day.
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! 
It’s always best to get whole peppercorns. Whole 'corns stay fresh essentially forever if stored in a sealed container in a dark space. I grind mine as needed in a small electric coffee grinder and pour the grinds into a small container.
Deal was still good for me today. Got the two-pack for the same price per count, $13.34. Seems like a very good price for something rated pretty well. Fakespot gives it a “B”.
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.
My offer is 15% one online or in-store purchase (entire transaction, not just a single item). 
@frugalpete said in Disney + Hulu W/Ads $2.99/mo for 4 months Ends On March 30th:
Are the ads in Disney and Hulu with this offer, only at the beginning of movies so there is no ad interruption later?
It varies depending on… not sure what, maybe how new or recent or popular a movie is. Often, you get a longer series of ads at the beginning and a long stretch before you get some ads again. Sometimes you get ads up front and then the rest of the movie will have none.
A reminder for those with Xfinity internet service, if you have a rewards account at Diamond or Platinum level, you qualify for free Peacock.
Building off what Mr V said, if you really want/need Hulu and/or Disney right now, this is as good as it gets. But Hulu has been running some sort of Black Friday promo for several years now. No guarantees that it will go on forever, but always worth looking our for it. I’ve been doing the deal for many years, rotating email addresses as necessary for the new account sign-up requirement. Last, year, I even took advantage of a STARZ add-on for only another 99¢ per month for a year.
I haven’t purchased a gift card in a while. When I tried today, I noticed that, despite being able to manually input a gift card value on many cards (instead of a preset amount), there is apparently a minimum that will process. For example, as in Mr V’s case above, a $15 Walmart card works. But when I tried to get a $15 ebay card, the screen would just refresh on the page. It wouldn’t move on to the billing info screen until I input a high enough value, in this case, $25. If you want a particular card and you are going to fully use it up quickly to not have much money tied up, you’re still getting your $2.50 discount anyway, but something to keep in mind.
@sonofzeus When I logged in, I clicked the “subscribe now” button. It then advanced to the payment page where I entered the promo code and it gave me the three-month offer.
Grr… got the totally worthless free drink with $1 purchase instead of 100 crowns, but did get the 59 pt bonus, at least.
For those that don’t know, if you have Xfinity Internet service and are in either of the top two tiers of rewards (diamond or platinum), you qualify for Peacock for free.
@my4mainecoons said in Hulu w/ ads for 99 cents a month for a year and add Disney+ w/ ads for an additional $2 a month. Now through 12/2/24.:
The $2.99 Disney+ bundle isn’t linked on Hulu BF page so can’t get $12. I went TCB : Disney+ : Bundle with ads for $2.99, earn $5 CB.
I clicked the link as posted to get the Hulu and Disney+ bundle in Chrome and then activated the TCB extension. Let’s see what happens if I get credit.
Wow, quite the creative and involved process! I’m with Mr. C, that’s too much upfront cost for not enough return, but to each their own.
@phatwallet said in Mrrebates Existing Members: $5 for you (no purchase req, exp unk):
@yoregano I had the same issue in Chrome, and tried firefox where I was able to log in.
I don’t know what’s going on, nothing working for me via multiple methods—computer, phone, data/wifi, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, all give the error.
I posted a comment on one of their social media pages about the error and other users are replying that they are getting the error, too, so it seems to be a widespread problem.
Update: They fixed the error and I was eventually able to log in. I did not receive the postcard (like I did last year) and did not get the bonus this time (like I did last year). Oh well, perhaps it’s because, despite having an account since 2009, I haven’t actually done a transaction through them since 2019.
Hmm. I can’t even log in so far. I keep getting,
Link Error
Whoops! The previous link has an error in one of the parameters.
@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.
@sonofzeus said in 18700 MyPoints: Open New Discover Checking Account:
@yoregano They offer “on sale” rewards on my screen and a handful of instant rewards on MY screen. Maybe the algorithm varies based on users’ interactions with the site.
I guess you’d need to clarify what you mean. I’ve been using MyPoints a loonng time, one of my first rewards sites, one that is actually still in business (though they were not originally under the Prodege umbrella). Next year will be 25 years for me! Things have changed over the years. Anyway, when it comes to redemptions, I’m not sure what you mean by “instant” rewards. Otherwise, yes, they do claim to have certain rewards “on sale,” but essentially, those are always at the same redemption rate. For example, the prepaid MCs I mentioned previously say “sale” in the description but have been at the cost of 1,500 MP per $10 of card value for years. If something is always the same price, it’s not really on sale… Now, not all GCs are redeemable at the same rate. For example, a $10 Walmart card costs 1,590 MP. Thus one of the reasons I redeem for MCs, it’s better value. I use them to pay most of my utility bills.
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.
@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.
TERMS:
The 1 Million Whopper sandwiches for $1 offer is available for a limited time from 11/12/2024 through 11/17/2024 or while supplies last, at participating U.S. Burger King® restaurants, only on the BK® App and bk.com for order ahead. Price and participation vary. Royal Perks account required. Must activate Offer in the “Offers” tab on the BK® App or bk.com before placing order. Not available during breakfast hours. Tax extra. No substitutions. One Offer per Account. Not valid with any other coupons or offers. Not valid in AK, HI & U.S. territories. Not valid on delivery orders. Royal Perks terms apply: bk.com/rewards-terms. Burger King® reserves the right to modify or terminate this Offer at any time without notice and in its sole discretion.
Wonder if/how quickly the limit of 1 million might get used up. One might not want to wait too long given the possibility the deal might end early.

@mistercheap said in BURGER KING APP: New FRIGHT BITE game, ring bell, win crowns or food prize now to 10/31:
Just a reminder to check your ‘rolling’ balance as points expire after 6 months. have like 200 expiring on 12/1, so will redeem some in November so I don’t forgo them.
Yep, last day to redeem expiring Crowns for October. I had 500 expiring this month, next month I have 1950 expiring! There must have been some great promos six months ago to earn bonus Crowns, there’s no way I’ve actually spent that much real money to accumulate that many points in such a short time.
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.
Lately, Costco is hard to beat for me without a substantial rewards discount. Still, a potentially nice perk from Amazon.

I’m at the point where I need a phone with at least 128 GB of storage. Most TF deals seem to be for 64 GB phones.
I don’t need to refill/renew just yet, but yeah, that’s something to keep in mind. Wonder if there might be some better deals as the holiday shopping season gets closer.

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.
Finally got 50 Crowns. Three of the last four days, the same thing, free small onion rings with a purchase.
Free 4-pc mozzarella fries with $1 purchase for me today. Meh. Hope it gets better than that.
I got 250 twice, 100, 50 thrice, a couple 20 and 30, and 10 the most, of course, but overall, a nice collection of free points. I think BK has the best and easiest rewards of all the fast food joints. I currently have over 6000 crowns in my balance.
@mistercheap said in Burger King Royal Perks Deals: FREE w/ $1 Purchase: 9/17 Orig. chicken Sandwich w/$1 prch, Cheeseburger, Croissan'wich & More (Sept. 16 - 21):
Today all I had to do was add bacon for $1, really enjoyed the Chicken w/Bacon sandwich, well worth a buck.
Nothing else on these offers really interest me. So today and yesterday were probably it for me.
Same for me. First two offers were the best in terms of value, the rest are so-so.
Got my chicken sandwich with bacon which was exactly $1 extra.
@mistercheap said in Burger King Royal Perks Deals: FREE w/ $1 Purchase: 9/17 Orig. chicken Sandwich w/$1 prch, Cheeseburger, Croissan'wich & More (Sept. 16 - 21):
Got mine, added swiss cheese, onion rings, xtra tom & xtra lettuce for $1.10 to meet the $1 min spend. Quite tasty and I got 3 onion rings on the sandwich.
You got it good, your extras are cheap. I tried a mock order with your same add-ons and it was an additional $1.85 for me. What was both amusing and odd, though, was that the cheese, lettuce, and tomato were all 50¢ each, while the onion rings were only 35¢. I’d think they should have been the most, not the least. Anyway, some food for thought (literally) when customizing future orders.
@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:
I’m guessing they removed the muffins from the app to discourage people from only paying $1 and getting the 100 bonus points.
I doubt that. They always have some kind of deal going on and I’ve never had an issue with buying a deal item and getting bonus points. It worked just fine for me today. Bonus points or no bonus points, they want you to buy whatever they sell. Check tomorrow and see if it’s back. Maybe it was a glitch, kind of like the Whopper game disappearing from the BK app for a while today for some of us.
@wmnetid said in Burger King app Whopper Chef game, daily play through 9/22, win up to 750 crowns:

Yep, just a temporary glitch apparently.

@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! 
With Perks Week starting, I don’t see the Whopper game today in the app.
it’s there, played it this AM. close your app and re open it, scroll down.
Hmm, something fishy going on. And I see wmnetid posted below that they don’t see it either. I cleared my storage and relaunched the app, and it still is not showing. So it’s either become a regional thing, or maybe Mr C got in early before they ended it, or who knows.
With Perks Week starting, I don’t see the Whopper game today in the app.
The taco is $1.39 for me in suburban Chicago. It’s pretty good, too (for it’s cheap filler nature).
The stupid game is always slow to load on my phone, but I almost gave up today. It finally did but it must have took at least three minutes.
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.
Another situation to look out for potential BF/holiday offers.
I’m at the point where I need a phone with at least 128 GB of storage. Most TF deals seem to be for 64 GB phones.
I wonder if they will still have a holiday offer on Hulu like they’ve done the last several years and if so, whether or not that will be at the same or higher price.
@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.
Thanks, don’t have it, but a good reminder to check your messages.
On a semi-related note, I noticed that Whopper Wednesday for me had increased from $3.00 to $3.99 today.
