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.

@rowan Make sure the whole image is visible in your email. There is a pretty clear part of the image showing the 4-leaf clover where you need to click.

@lawomaniam1 said in Coke Rewards Free Magazine Sub or one time $5....:

What’s the $$5 for?
Instead of redeeming for a subscription, get $5 instead. Limit one time per household. Used to be a way to make an easy 5 bucks every now and then, thus why they caught on and gave it a limit.

@xoincognito Thanks, but it seems you glossed over my post, maybe I should have added more detail. I referenced the specific thread already. The offer expired 2/27. And I have been following the corresponding thread at SD as well. The problem is that Coke messed something up here and did not fulfill the offer for many people who did scan the icons, but the reward never appeared to claim. As it stands, I’m contemplating whether it’s worth it to file a BBB complaint as Coke can’t seem to give a straight story and certainly hasn’t so far shown an interest in fulfilling the offer.

Edit: I posted this here and not the earlier referenced and specific thread as it is now expired and thus probably not seen.

Curious if anyone made any headway getting resolution to the sip&scan offer for the Target gift card. (Offer expired; separate thread for reference here: https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/5373/5-target-gift-card-from-coca-cola-sip-scan-scavenger-hunt-offer-thru-2-27-18/18)

Coke is displaying classic large-company, totally indifferent, inconsistent, awful customer service on this. Sending out boilerplate messages claiming fraud, failure to complete the offer, as well as still being aware of the issue and working on resolving it as soon as possible. it’s nice to get rewards for modest effort on the consumer’s part, but their refusal to proactively acknowledge the problem and come up with a resolution fairly applied to all, or at least a consistent response, reminds me that this really is a very lousy, cold, corporate machine in the worst sense.

Key word “sample” should be in the subject line.

Still no gift card on any of my family accounts, and the offer is no longer showing (not unexpected, since it’s expired), so I guess i’ll wait up to a week or so to see if they rectify this before I inquire further. I tend to think this is going to require pestering them to get satisfaction.

And no one seems to have received the Amazon gift cards from months ago either.

On that contest/giveaway, it said 8-10 weeks after the promotion end date of Jan 2, 2018. They still have 2 more weeks.

Thanks, yes.

Target offer did not get fixed for everyone by yesterday’s expiration date. I noticed the wording in the offer area changed from something about claiming the reward in the rewards box to, “OOPS! We’re experiencing an issue. Please try again.”, which is what it still says for me. Still waiting and hoping for resolution.

Some people on SD are reporting that reward is showing up to claim in their rewards box. Some not. None of my family’s accounts has gotten it yet. Only a few hours remaining before the offer expires. I sure hope Coke will make right on this if it doesn’t show up in time.

The expiration date is almost here and they still haven’t fixed the problem. So if it doesn’t get fixed in time, then what?

Okay, according to the discussion at SD, it appears that this promo is broken right now and many people are waiting for resolution from Coke. Some are getting responses to clear cookies to get the offer to show up, but that is a dodge, this is just screwed up. What a pain.

And no one seems to have received the Amazon gift cards from months ago either.

How long does it take for the email to arrive with the GC? I presume that’s how it works. After finishing the scans, the offer shows that the limit is reached and to access the reward by click the rewards tab at the top, but the reward is not there.

Say, i just remembered, there was an offer some months back that was for an Amazon GC that involved texting that was to be offered at the end of the promotion. But I never got that. Anyone get that yet?

Dead. Sold out.

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.)

YMMV Discover IT chrome credit card email offer - Get $50 for enrolling in autopay “directly” just arrived in my inbox 16 minutes ago, 2/8/18 4:21pm eastern time (currently) in regards to my Discover IT Chrome Card
sender: Discover Card <discover@c.discover.com
subject line: Exciting news! We encourage you to get a special $50 statement credit offer with DirectPay
body text:
get a $50 statement credit when you enroll in DirectPay.
Ready to take control of your monthly bill without the stress of juggling
calendar reminders and checkbooks?
Try DirectPay, the free tool that automatically withdraws your monthly payment¹
• Choose flexible payment options
• Ensures your bill will be paid on time each month
• Avoid missed payments and late fees
• Plus, get a $50 statement credit when you enroll today
note: this may be tied to my other discover card, where i missed the payment date and chatted in with them, she offered to waive the late fee if i paid the monthly due balance immediately, so i did of course.
So i don’t know if it’s account specific or it an offer that is rolling out.
I know that I didnt’ have autopay turned on before and usually don’t use it. Has anyone else received this offer?

@kohlspowrshopper

Did you get an email with an offer invitation? Link? More details, please.
I have a regular Discover Platinum cash back card, and I can’t find/don’t see anything about this anywhere in my account.

Dead? I got the text, but when I click the link they sent, I get, “Access to this resource is forbidden.”

@dubzap69 said in Free Good Table Freezer to Plate At Dollar Tree W/$1 Coupons.com Print Coupon:

My 2 Dollar Trees do not accept coupons.

The coupon policy posted on their website: https://www.dollartree.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?pageName=TermsConditions

If I were you, I would contact them and report the local stores that are not accepting coupons. I would, in fact, complain vociferously and do what I could get local management into trouble. Stores that violate their corporate polices really get on my nerves.

This is free, of course, if you already are a Prime member. I’ve been watching it, and it’s actually very funny and well written.

@frugalfreak said in Free Play Pack - Condoms, Lube, Gloves - Adults Only:

Mod Note: This is for Australia only. Not sure if there are any Aussies here, but if so this is for you.

Sigh, C’mon @Tuskers, that is a detail that just has to be in the subject line. You’ve been posting long enough to know this sort of thing.

@connman said in Official Recyclebank Master Thread:

@zennuts Specifically, I use them for free milk and free lettuce, because there’s so little else of interest available, and the store is local.

Can you explain? I don’t think this is something near me, but a store name or whatever you are referring to would be helpful.

Currently for me, magazine subs are the ONLY thing I find worthwhile.

I rest my case.

@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.

These offers are random and can happen anytime for anyone, with no apparent rhyme or reason. I last got the free bagel per day last April.

During your birthday month (presuming you have this info entered into your rewards account), you will get a free pastry once during that month with a few days extra to redeem. My b-day is in December and I had until today to get mine.

Today is the last day to enter the Circle K contest with six entries, each for a chance of an instant win for one of six prizes.

https://us.coca-cola.com/legal/55839/

I believe this is the last contest currently available with an AMOE (no code entry required).

@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

@yoregano said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

Perhaps I shouldn’t complain, it’s multiple free entries per day, but the #@*% site is making me click SEVERAL screens of verification boxes on EVERY entry today. I I didn’t win anything with three accounts for the holiday contest. Very tedious and annoying. Wonder what’s going on, it wasn’t like this until today.

Thankfully, I did get two $5 WM cards for the AMOE sip-n-scan contest today.

Try logging into Chrome and your Gmail account, and keep the associated cookies for it. It doesn’t get rid of all the captchas, but most of them are the one-click i’m not a robot things.

Also you can sip & scan the holiday instant win instead of using AMOE.

I tried two different browsers and was still having excessive captchas. Maybe I’ll clear cookies and start all over tomorrow and see what happens.

I like to use AMOE/free entries when possible. Not just to preserve codes (when applicable), but it’s easier anyway avoiding a step. I don’t even have any products on hand with the sip & scan icon. I suppose I could just take a pic sometime and keep one handy.

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.

you must have at least $25 in cashback to cash out for that promo, no?

I don’t think there is a minimum to cash out with TCB. My wife just cashed out last week for an Amazon GC (with a 5% bonus) at less than $10.

@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.)

Yes, stamps are still a good option, for when you need them. I don’t hardly mail anything anymore, except rebates, and even then that’s not very often.

Resolved.

@mrvietnam said:

Next year I will learn their marketing pitch and wait to buy the gift cards until they give 3 free meal passes.

If any are left come next year… there were several in IL that all closed within the last year or two. Looks like they are mostly a CA and FL chain now.

@redbeard25 said in 8-64% off Select Popular Merchant Gift Cards @eBay.com:

Blargh, can’t use my $10 ebay “gift card” I got when I bought a Google Home.

Yes, this asinine policy of not being able to use eBay GCs to buy other retailer gift cards is infuriating. It’s getting pretty close for me to give up eBay altogether.

@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.

Pretty sure Target does not allow GCs to purchase GCs. I think using Discover is the best bet.

Expired again.

The Hulu loss is disappointing for me, as it was pretty easy to get up to 600 points a month by watching 10 episodes of select shows in certain categories. I thought something must be up, as those offers stopped appearing months ago.

In the Chicago area, none of the grocery or drug stores that participate are located here, and most of the partners leaving are irrelevant to me anyway. Local dining is no big deal, there are several other programs that offer similar benefits, like Swaybacks. Mobil/Exxon is about the only place to both earn and redeem points for me. As long as that one partner remains, this program has some usefulness. But this mass dropping of partners is still not a good sign.

I am one of the frustrated who also never receives eBay promos of any kind, and yes, my settings are checked to receive offers. Somehow eBay has done something to my account that is preventing this.

I wonder what determines how one might receive this. I tried to use the $10 off $20 coupon unsuccessfully, but didn’t get this consolation coupon. Of course, I never get any offer from them like eBay bucks bonuses either.

~~https://www.topcashback.com/dawn-soap-freebie/

Valid for all members. Click through the link and follow instructions. Get $3.50 cash back. Purchase price for me was $2.87 with tax, so a small profit is made.

Deal ends 11/16 11:59 PM PT.~~

EXPIRED.

Any deal suggestions? I can’t seem to find much of anything worthwhile, the online prices aren’t that good so even getting the points back makes it seem about on par at best with finding real sales at other stores.

Curious where you got your information from @Tuskers.

Ah, I see. I guess I haven’t seen and tried the new symbol. I’m still using old codes from my stockpile. I don’t buy Coke products frequently.

@ctujackbauer said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

Apparently there’s a mobile device/phone scan with an AMOE entry?

No, I don’t think so. You can use a smartphone to scan in codes, but that is just as opposed to typing them in. Code entry yes; AMOE, no.

@fivetalents Cool. New offer. Haven’t seen anything this good with the new program before.
