Rent two, get one free at Redbox!
June 27, 2010 by
I got an e-mail from Redbox about a promotion that they have right now where you rent two movies at the same time and then get a promotional code for a free rental! This promotion runs through June 30, 2010. Your free promotional code will be delivered to your inbox within 72 hours of your qualifying rentals. Limit one promotional code per customer per day (I guess that means you can earn more than one, just not more than one in a day?) The rentals do have to be “paid” rentals.
Here are a few promotional codes that may work if you haven’t used them before:
BREAKROOMDVDONME
REDBOX
REDBOX
For use at Walgreens only: DVDATWAG
For use at Kroger family of stores only: DVDKROG
You can use these codes once per card (you do have to swipe a credit or debit card to “rent” the movie).
To learn more about Redbox (or to find a location, see what’s available, or reserve a selection online), check out their blog here and their site here.
Save 40% off at Gap plus get 20% cash back when you shop online!
June 27, 2010 by
Gap is having a huge summer sale right now where you can save up to 40% off online and in stores. Ebates is also offering 20% cash back for all of the Gap stores (GapKids, babyGap, and regular Gap). This is the highest cash back amount I have ever seen for the Gap! There is a $7 flat rate shipping fee.
If you haven’t signed up for Ebates before, you will also get a $5 bonus for signing up! If you’re not familiar with Ebates, it is a site where you can earn cash back when you shop through the retailer links on their sites. I joined about two years ago and I was so excited when I got my first “big fat check” with the “rebates” I had earned from online shopping during the Christmas season that first year.
Here’s how it works:
1. When you are ready to shop online, visit Ebates and look for the retailer on their site (they have 100s of retailers and pretty much the only one I haven’t found that I use regularly is Amazon). When you click through that store’s link, it will create a “tracking ticket” and then take you to the retailer’s site.
2. Once you get to the retailer’s site, complete your purchase just like you normally would.
3. Within a few days, you should receive an e-mail letting you know that your “cash back” has been credit to your account.
4. Your “big fat check” payment is issued every three months.
For purchases made between 1/1 and 3/31, you will receive your “big fat check” on 5/15.
For purchases made between 4/1 and 6/30, you will receive your “big fat check” on 8/15.
For purchases made between 7/1 and 9/30, you will receive your “big fat check” on 11/15.
For purchases made between 10/1 and 12/31, you will receive your “big fat check” on 2/15
5. You can choose to be paid via the following methods:
*Big Fat Check: Have a check sent directly to you, free of charge.
*PayPal: Your payment is deposited directly into your Paypal account (you do not have to pay any fees). This is a quick option!
Let me know what you get if you take advantage of this deal!
Target deals for the week of 6/27
June 27, 2010 by
Electronics trade-in ~ Trade in your new or used iPod or iPhone for a Target gift card.
Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month. The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears).
Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.
At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.
They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!

FAQS:
Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.
Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item
*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Old Spice/Gillette body washes this week, you will only earn a RR for one)
*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Old Spice/Gillette and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print
*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)
*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.
*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.
*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1
