Save 5% With a Target Debit Card

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:59:01 +0000

Many stores offer savings and incentives for using a store credit card, but did you know Target offers a debit card with rewards? It’s called a REDcard and will save you 5% off your purchases every day in Target stores and on target.com. You also get free shipping on target.com. You can enroll your REDcard in their Take Charge of Education program, where they will donate 1% of your purchases to eligible K-12 schools. Plus you can earn additional 5% off coupons when you fill five prescriptions and pay with your REDcard. That’s on top of the every day 5% discount. Even though it is a debit card, you do need to fill out a credit application and provide a voided check so they can get your bank routing numbers. Just ask for an application at the customer service desk.

Earn Free Money for Your Kids’ College or Your Student Loans with UPromise

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:22:26 +0000

My husband and I created a UPromise account several years ago, before we had children, to help pay off our student loans, and now we are also saving for our children’s college funds with UPromise. It’s free, easy, and secure. Go to Upromise.com and create an account. Provide your debit card numbers and store loyalty card numbers (like BI-LO, CVS, etc) and whenever you do your normal shopping, a portion of what you spend will go to your UPromise account.

Thousands of retail stores, online stores, restaurants, and name-brand products are Upromise partners (Dell, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Staples, Kimberly-Clark, Kellogg’s, Johnson & Johnson, and tons more) and help donate a portion of your purchase to your Upromise account. My family has earned hundreds of dollars in our Upromise account over the years and it hasn’t cost us anything extra – it’s just from making purchases on every-day things we were going to buy anyway. You can even send invitations to your family members to link their debit cards or store loyalty cards to your UPromise account, too. Go to UPromise.com to get started.

Triple Fuelperks on Gift Card Purchases at BI-LO Nov 30-Dec 6, 2011

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:29:18 +0000

Wow, I thought double fuelperks on gift card purchases was great, but BI-LO is offering TRIPLE fuelperks on gift card purchases today through Tues, Dec 6, 2011. What that means is, if you buy a $25 Chili’s gift card, you earn fuelperks on $75 instead of $25. For every $50 you spend, you earn $.05 off per gallon of gas with fuelperks. So, if you buy two $25 gift cards, you would earn fuelperks on $150 ($25 x 2 x 3), which would earn you $.15 off per gallon of gas!

BI-LO has tons of restaurant and retail gift cards to choose from. Gift cards make great gifts, but you can also plan ahead and if you know you’ll be eating out at Olive Garden soon, go ahead and buy yourself an Olive Garden gift card at BI-LO this week so that you can earn some gas discounts while spending money you were going to spend any way at Olive Garden. You can read more about fuelperks at www.bi-lo.com/fuelperks.

BI-LO fuelperks: How I saved $2.70 per gallon of gas plus double fuelperks on gift cards right now

admin — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 03:40:31 +0000

I told you back in August about BI-LO’s fuelperks program (read my post here if you missed it) and I started earning fuelperks myself back then, too. You have 90 days plus the current month before your fuelperks begin to expire, so I knew I had until Nov 30 before my fuelperks would begin to expire. I decided to go ahead and redeem them today since my tank was on empty and I didn’t want to risk forgetting to use them by the end of the month. When I pumped gas today, the price went from $3.39/gal to $.69/gal since I had $2.70 in fuelperks I had been racking up since Aug. It sure was nice paying $10.77 til fil up my 15-gallon tank instead of about $50! Just a quick re-cap, you earn $.05 in fuelperks for every $50 you spend at BI-LO. Plus, they have different bonus fuelperk promotions each week.

One of the bonus fuelperks deals they have going on right now is you can earn double fuelperks on the purchase of gift cards. For example, if you buy a $25 gift card, you will earn fuelperks as if you’d spend $50, so you’d earn $.05 in fuel perks. They have tons of restaurant and retail gift cards to choose from. If you’re going to be shopping at Toys R Us this holiday season, why not buy a Toys R Us gift card from BI-LO and earn some free gas while you’re spending money you’d be spending anyways! Same for restaurant gift cards (Outback, Applebee’s, O’Charley’s, Olive Garden, Chili’s, Cracker Barrel, and more) – these make great Christmas gifts – so why not buy them at BI-LO instead of somewhere else, so that you can earn some free gas. I do not know how long the double fuelperks promotion will last. They offer this every now and then, just keep an eye out in their sale paper and for signs in the store.
