I haven’t had an Entertainment membership in years since digital coupons took over ala Groupon, Local Flavor, etc. Anybody have any recent experience to recommend Entertainment as being worthwhile?

I got the email and credit as well. Already spent the credit on a Prime Day order today.

I’ve never tried BK app offers through the drive-thru. I hate drive-thrus in general—very wasteful idling away in a long line. It would be interesting to try the offer I mentioned in my last post that says “MGR REQD” since it isn’t even a code.

Yes, I have done these coupon offers before and selected redeem in restaurant and instead of giving me a code number to give to the cashier, it says “MGR REQD.” What am I doing wrong?

Nothing wrong. There is no code. The manager or someone with more authority has to override the system to make it work. In my case, I’ve seen a manager scan their fingerprint or swipe a special card in order to make the register allow certain deals.

@yoregano Your initial link took me to the original variety, for which there is no coupon, not the White Cheddar. When I click on your link in the last post I now see the coupon for 20% off,

There was a 20% off for the regular variety yesterday when I ordered, so the max redemptions must have been reached on it. Still a pretty good deal on the White Cheddar, just not as good of a deal as (was) on the regular variety.

@mrvietnam Hmm… perhaps targeted? The coupon was there for me when I ordered yesterday. I’m also seeing the 20% for the White Cheddar variety, but these are more expensive than the regular cheese flavor.

FYI, there is an even better and possibly repeatable deal with the app. I have a recurring deal for a free Whopper with any purchase. If you get the 8-piece nuggets for $1, the you get both the nuggets and the Whopper for $1. Here’s the twist: the offer says it is for “new app users”, but it perpetually shows in my account, and the discount code displays as “mgr reqd”, thus the cashier/manager has to override anyway to make it work. Anyway, food for thought, so to speak…

Here is a Cheezits item that is a good deal. There is a clippable 20% off coupon and the $5 credit from this promo also applies. With 15% S&S discount (5+ items ), it was $2.30 for me.

Happy to report that I got both credits this month. Email came about 1.5 days after completion. I guess the key is to make sure to hit the “enroll” button before starting every video (but I still think that’s a bug and it shouldn’t be that way). Also confirming that you don’t necessarily finish the videos ASAP to get credit—I didn’t start until 10/2 and didn’t finish until later in the day on 10/3.

I’m waiting still for my credit(s) for this month, 24+ hours after completing my 8 hours of streaming. I never got them for last month. I let it slide then, but I’m going to complain if it doesn’t show up this month. I still don’t undesrtand why the “enroll” button perpetually displays as un-clicked every time you go back to the sign-up site. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t like that for August.

Every time before I watch a video I click on the ENROLL button and I have received my bonuses each month.

I made sure to do that this time, but I didn’t do that the first month (August). I’m pretty sure the recurring enroll button wasn’t that way then. Whatever the case, it doesn’t make sense and it shouldn’t be that way.

I am confirming success for this as well. In my case, it was doubly good. I bought a product through one of those Facebook posts where you go through a chat bot via Messenger and agree to buy a product and then post a review and in return get your purchase amount back via Paypal or a gift card. So in the end, I got an item for free plus the $10 Prime Day bonus.

PSA regarding DD gift cards purchased from Card Cash: I have purchased cards a number of times from them before without issue, being able to add/combine to my DD rewards account despite the disclaimer they post that they cannot be added to an account. But today I bought two more cards, and I indeed cannot add them to my account. I get an error message. The cards appear to be valid; I get an accurate balance if I call the customer service number. But obviously, these cards now can’t be used as intended (no rewards since they are not linked to an account, and are now subject to the 45-day fraud protection time limit).

So, no more cards from Card Cash for me!

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

@yoregano This happened to me last month and unfortunately I didn’t get any rewards. Have to enroll each time this month as well so not holding my breath.

That would be frustrating and disappointing. It shouldn’t be like this. I know it the enroll button was not like this last month for me. I noticed in a thread on the “slick” site that others are mentioning this issue. There’s certainly something not working quite right with this.

I’m wondering if I got hosed this month. I also finished my 8 hours Wed afternoon, but I haven’t yet received a “congrats” email. I went back to the sign-up link and the enrollment button said “enroll now,” not “your enrolled for September.” I know for certain that I had enrolled before starting videos. I clicked the button, and then it changed to “you’re enrolled.” But now every time I go back to the enrollment page, the button says “enroll now” and not “you’re enrolled.” So, I guess I wait a while longer and wee what happens.

Every time I watched a movie I clicked on the “enroll now” button. What they should do is when you click on it the first time it should say you are enrolled whenever you go back to click a second or third time, but for me it didn’t, so I clicked on it before I watched each movie. I hope you didn’t get hosed, but if you live in my parts maybe you would have enjoyed a good hosing as it is going to get up to 110 degrees here this weekend.

Interesting. I’m sure that for last month, once you clicked the enroll button, it remained that way after one click. Perhaps it’s a glitch this month.

@aejc said in Select eBay Accounts: Coupon for Additional Savings $25 Off $25.01 while it lasts:

The coupon is a 25th Anniversary of eBay coupon and targeted to older accounts. My 22-year-old account received the offer.

It remains hard to figure out the rhyme or reason the way ebay gives offers. My 19-year-old account didn’t get this, and hardly ever does get offers in general.

DRAT! I overslept. I didn’t start streaming until 4 am PT. It may be too late, but I will just continue to let it play in the background for the 8 hours and hope for a miracle.

I didn’t complete the minimum hours for August until a few days in, and still got both credits. We’ll see what happens this month.

Anyone know how this price compares to Costco?

Reminder, the next round begins next Tuesday.

I thought this was a national promo and has been going on since the BOGO offer ended a couple months back. I see TV ads for it regularly. Chicago area in my case, FWIW.

That’s true, but don’t think the deal was ever posted, so I made a thread for those not aware.

Ah, fair enough. I guess I was so used to it I wondered if I was missing something.

Had and odd experience with this last week. Checked and saw the offer in the app in the morning, but then when I went back later in the day to try and use it, it had disappeared. But worked again today for me.

Some offers will disappear from the offers page once you have them in your cart.

But that’s just it, I didn’t add it. I simply went to the main offer page to verify it was there. Yes, once you attempt to redeem the offer, then a 15-minute timer starts to use it before it expires.

If anyone knows of a better deal on DD cards, please share.

In December (and typically every year at the holidays) they run good promotions. I got $80 worth of GC’s for $50 and I’m still working of those as I only buy the $1-$2 specials typically with my GC. If they run that again in 2020, that would be my advice, load up as the GC’s never expire.

Yes, holiday deals are usually the best value. But you have to act fast. Last year’s offer sold out within a couple days.

Reminder of the the free coffee with food purchase on 8/17.

Tip: I have begun buying discounted DD gift cards at cardcash.com. Extrabux.com has a 1% discount. Most cards are currently at an 8%-ish discount. Despite the site’s disclaimer that you cannot add these cards to your DD account online, that is bogus. You certainly can, and then you can merge the funds to your existing DD card, effectively removing any risk of your new card being used fraudulently. The only gripe I have with cardcash is they don’t seem to accept Visa/MC e-cards (the kind you might get as a rebate or, in my case, by redeeming SwagBucks), ones with short expiration dates.

If anyone knows of a better deal on DD cards, please share.

I got a Whooper for $1 two weeks ago. I saw this thread and it prompted me to check again. The offer showed up in my app. Great. But then when I went to get it later in the day, the offer was no longer there. Anyone else use this offer more than once?

@mrvietnam said in FREE $10 Walgreens Gift Card with card and purchase of any two Uber, Domino's, Taco Bell, Foot Locker or Burlington Gift Cards @ Walgreens B&M - Valid 08/09 - 08/15:

What is the minimum OOP to buy 2 gift cards? $20? If so, this effectively makes them 50% off after Walgreens $10 gift card. I think, however, a Taco Bell variable load card starts at $15.

I know for Netflix cards from past deals that $15 is the minimum.

For similar deals that they’ve done in the past, Netflix cards were included, which is what I usually got. Maybe they dropped them from the deal due to the well-known issues with Netflix cards being hacked if they are not redeemed right away.

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.

@orthros said in DD Perks (DUNKIN) Free med hot or iced coffee with any purchase** MONDAYS, and Free Donut w/purchase on Fridays thru August 21:

@mistercheap $1.29 in Ohio. Still a good deal though.

Since it says “Not valid on a single donut hole” I wonder if I could just order TWO donut holes.

Or maybe I can just cough up $1.29 for a medium coffee and bagel and stop being autistic.

Two donut holes are 99c, you’re much better off with the bagel IMO. As I mentioned, last week, I just took it home and used it to make a sandwich the next day. Their bagels are pretty good actually, nice size too.

Hmm, for me, ordering through the app at least, munchkins are available only in 5-count increments, $1.59 to start. Maybe you can order singles in-store at the counter. I’ll have to check next time I go in.

reminder that tomorrow is free iced coffee with any eng muffin, bagel, donut purchase.

Yep, good deal. Another reminder that prices and offers do vary. Some have mentioned $1 bagels, but they are $2 for me. So I got a $1.19 donut instead. But not complaining. A buck and change for a coffee and donut, and I fulfilled my 100-pt. bonus offer too.

PLAIN (untoasted) BAGEL, not w/any butter or cream cheese on it is 99c or should be. you have to specify a plain bagel and what kind you want. ie, everything, onion, etc.

Nope, I checked again, for me in the Chicago burbs, a plain bagel with no modifiers is still $1.99. Go figure.

Kewl. It didn’t even occur to me to check, but I got the Amazon digital credit too.

Free Donut Day today, if you have the $2 GC from TMobile Tuesdays, you can redeem that to pay for all or part of your drink.

In my area, you can also get any size iced coffee or iced tea for $2 from 2–6 PM, and still get the free donut. I did this today, and will get the free coffee with purchase next Monday to fulfill the bonus 100 points offer I posted about earlier.

I clicked the enroll button to initially sign up. Then added movies to my watchlist. Watched 5+ hours. Then today I got the email about the Cheez-its credit as mentioned above. Perhaps click the link in the fist post again and verify if it shows that your Amazon account is logged in below the enroll button.

I got the Cheetos credit a day after completing 5 hours. Yeah, we’ll see about ever getting the video credit if only 1,000 per month are available.

See if you if you got a bonus offer via email (if you have a Perks rewards account). I got an offer for 100 points with two purchases made between August 4-10. My wife got 50 points instead of 100. (200 points is worth a free drink of any kind and size.)

@mrvietnam said in 2 FREE Speed Sticks at Walgreens Online in store pickup Only w/Balance Rewards/Coupons thru 8/1:

It may be they are just out of stock online. I’m sure this deal is widely being advertised on deal boards and blogs.

No, there are plenty available for ship-to-home, just not ship-to-store.

This is a good deal and still valid. I had to contact customer service via chat, as I never received the email about the credit for a future purchase, and got the $10 promo credit manually applied. The end result for me was two pairs of cargo shorts and a 3-pack of dress socks for a net of about $15.

Walgreens must have figured this out and killed the deal. I can’t find any varieties that ship to store, so this is dead unless one can replicate it with an in-store purchase.

For me at least, yesterday it said there was one day left, so today it is probably expired already. Don’t worry. The dressing isn’t very good IMHO.

Yep, that would explain it.

Ibotta offer has expired.

Hmmm… targeted or reached the limit. I don’t have this offer in my account.

Anyone here try this successfully? Does any sort of message appear at checkout to indicate the purchase qualifies?

I got an email after complaining to TB about the free Chalupa Box fiasco. (I was one of many that didn’t get it because the app and website were non-functional the whole day of the giveaway.) After sending a complaint on Twitter, they sent me a unique link. After clicking the link and entering my email, a few days later I got an email with info about the the rewards program and also containing a “sorry” message about the Chalupa promo. It is in clicking the link in the email that then opened the TB app and loaded the free Doritos Loco taco to my account.

A free taco isn’t quite a comparable make-up for a $5 chalupa box, but at least it’s something.

I hope you did not follow what MC bought because the Pantene in his order does not count for the $15 P&G rebate.

Hmm, I didn’t know that. I entered it in my rebate submission, but it shouldn’t matter anyway. I did get six of the Secret deodorants which makes up the bulk of the requirement along with several other items to go well past $50+.
