I do I.T. work and I posted previously my big reimbursed company spends are long over due to changes in their program.

A few moments ago I purchased a used Usb-C to female A adapter dongle. After the $5 rebate they sent, free shipping, and a little bit of taxes final price came out to about $2.05.

I can afford $2 bucks for a tertiary spare. I do computer hardware work for a living. Really just bought to make it feel like I got something for almost nothing.

One good way to monetize: HP Instant Ink $5 starter card works to top off an existing account even though it says its a started card.

Got it. Also got the HH $150/$15 offer. Bought gc’s with the HH offer and a couple bags of their overpriced chips with the $5 coupon. Movie Night stuff. So just put all on the HH card.

Nope. System prevents using it for GC or such

Hello, this isn’t a total freebie but a pay out due to the program shutting down unless you get their card. I say total freebie because I didn’t have enough points for $5, but it looks like they are just rounding up to pay out $5. Probably so they don’t get a class action for vanishing the remaining points, LOL.

From a January email: “Thank you for being a My Best Buy® member. A couple of changes are coming to the program that we’d like to let you know about. The second change is that on February 14, 2023, earning points on eligible Best Buy purchases will become an exclusive benefit of the My Best Buy® Credit Card. To continue earning rewards on your Best Buy purchases, you can apply for the My Best Buy® Credit Card. If you decide to not apply for the Credit Card, we’ll issue a certificate for points remaining in your account within 60 days following the program change on February 14.”

Thanks for posting the Chase BB deal, will help add a bit to this!  William Charles

Got it today, subject was “(first name), your $5 reward certificate has arrived”, I always use them for charging cables as the cheaper iPhone/iPad cables tend to fray.

Store brand batteries. You’ll need ’em eventually. And maybe stack with US Bank Cash+ with 5% back on electronics stores.
