I learned that if I go through their special offers to buy my groupons from now on I get 3% cash back. I just bought a groupon the regular way! Also, Shutterfly I can get 9%! Which is awesome as I buy a bunch of calendars every year! There are lots more but these are 2 I use.

Can you tell me more about this?

Can you tell me more about this?

Sure. On the MBNA website where you go to see your CC statement, there is a banner about special offers. If you click on it it takes you to the emall. There there are all the % cash back retailers. Does that help?

Received a Safeway gift card for $10. The letter with it said it was a Dare promo. I looked back in my MRI records and the only thing that matches is a Doritos chip promo back in Nov,2012. Anyone know if Dare and Doritos are the same company?
Oh well, I'm off to Safeway to get milk and potatoes on their three day sale with my gift card!

On the Safeway AM's thread we are talking about this mix up. I don't think its the same company. Some people are saying they got the $15 Dare letter with their GC but the GC is for $10. The $10 was for Quaker. It was spend $20 get $10 back MIR. The $15 GC around that same time was for Dare products. Not sure about the Doritos one.

I got my $10 Safeway card today too. I went to safeway and got the 3 day sale milk and some cheesestrings with coupons for the kids. It was nice to get it for almost free.

Also I am part of a Postal survey group and got a $65 cheque today. It happened when I was doing a regular survey through webperspectives I think. It asked if I wanted to be a part of this and I said yes. So I am not sure how you would get into it on your own. It pays out every 3 months. And you can get more money if you enter your info on-line faster. Sometimes I wait a bit.

Also got a cheque back for the Finish MIR. It was for $7.78. After the coupon I used on it, stamp, and 10% off day I came ahead +$3.34. So a pretty profitable day at $65 + $10 + $3.34= $78.34

Well, this week they had a celebration for 20 years of "Mall Walking". My mum and dad were mall walkers as well as db. So db and I went up to represent them and cheer on the Mall Walkers. They had a "Healthy Breakfast" of fruit, and yogurt and a juice and THEN they had cake!! Even the mayor was there! So had a free breakfast and spent time with my db. They also had lots of displays by "Healthy Living" info and a blood pressure machine. So got some cogent material and free magnets, etc. So no money IN - but no money OUT, either.

I was given 25 boxes of baby clothes from a lady. My LO was already too big for some of it, so I asked her if I could sell some of what I did not need. I have made $156 from selling baby clothes in the last month. $40 of that was this afternoon.
I also have $10 in my Checkout51 account. Plus I have been cashing out for $5 Amazon.ca once a week.
