re RiteAid BonusCash rewards for Apr 5-11, 2020 ... 20% ROI on Xbox, GameStop, Apple, Google, Netflix, Nike, Panera, Fandango, AMC, & Regal GC's By www.cheapassgamer.com Published On :: Sun, 05 Apr 2020 03:16:09 +0000 It's a bumper crop of BonusCash at your local Rite-Aid this week, with not 1, 2, 3, but 4 gaming GC's, and 1 of those gives you even more options! Nike, GameStop, Netflix ... $5 BonusCash when you buy $25 of these items.* Google Play, AMC Theatres, Apple AppStore/iTunes, Fandango, XBOX, Panera Bread, Regal Theatres ... $6 BonusCash when you buy $30 of these items.* FYI, "GameStop" is a big win, because not only can you purchase (additional) XBOX, PSN, Nintendo, and Steam credit there, but you order the GC credit from their website, and get a redemption code instantly after checkout. For those who are new to the "Rite-Aid wellness+ reward BonusCash" program, you'll receive the $$$ amount when you purchase the minimum amount specified. Gift-cards within the same bullet-point share the same "limit 2 offers per customer", but you can earn rewards on the other bullet-point lines as well. For example, you can purchase $25 each of GameStop & Netflix (or $50 of GameStop) ... and still be able to purchase another $60 mix of Google & Apple & XBOX, and can stagger your 4 GC purchases throughout the week.Screenshot of 2 separate GC offers (bullet points) included here: Spoiler Small print (at bottom of weekly ad) and BonusCash T&C's included here: Spoiler Small print at bottom of the page *BonusCash will be awarded when you purchase eligible promoted items.

The products on which wellness+ BonusCash can be earned are determined by Rite Aid, in its sole discretion, and will change from time to time without notice. wellness+ BonusCash cannot be earned from the purchase of tobacco products, alcohol, lottery tickets, gift cards, licenses, money orders, money transfers, newspapers, stamps, other mail services, dairy products, items and services distributed by RediClinic®, items distributed by Moran Foods and Save-A-Lot® Food Stores, prescriptions, or other items prohibited by law, or for the payment of prescription copays, tax or shipping costs(together, “Excluded Items”).

Online purchases made with BonusCash will ship in the normal course of business. FYI ... the limit of "2 offers per customer" is tracked by your "wellness+ rewards" account, so you'll need to limit yourself to 2 offers per line item throughout the week, and not just "2 per transaction" or "2 per day". At the time of purchase, your printed receipt will indicate how many of the "limit 2" you've met, but neither the website nor register will indicate ... if you've met the limit of 2 items per BonusCash group with the current transaction, or if the transaction you're about to complete exceeds the limit of 2 per week, or when your BonusCash rewards will expire. Luckily the mobile RiteAid app (and website) list your individual accumulation & cashing out on a per transaction basis, so that's a good way to keep tabs on the expiration dates, since you only get 30 days to spend the BonusCash once earned.

re Final Fantasy Remake - Double 10 Dollar Rewards for Preorder? By www.cheapassgamer.com Published On :: Wed, 08 Apr 2020 18:25:58 +0000 Not sure if it was a glitch or intentional, but I got a notice this morning saying that my copy of Final Fantasy Remake Standard Edition had shipped. That made me happy enough, as I was afraid it might be delayed - had it pre-ordered on Amazon but it shifted to delivery unknown earlier in the week so I canceled it. But, back on topic - about 3 hours later I got a message that I had a 25 dollar reward. I did not have anywhere near that many points before so I looked for where they came from. When I clicked on the Final Fantasy VII Remake purchase, this is what it said: Total Points: 1142 My Best Buy Visa Purchase Bonus - 83 $10 Dollar Certificate for Final Fantasy VII Preorder - 500 $10 Dollar Certificate for Final Fantasy VII Preorder - 500 Base Points - 59 Did this happen to anyone else? Considering I preordered it when I still had Gamers Club - so got it for 51.23 ... this has been an especially Cheap Ass Gamer type of purchase. P.S. Sigh, I really miss Gamers Club. Hate spending 64.04 on new releases (that includes local tax). Full Article
