How to Earn $50 Rapid Rewards and Flowers for Less Than $10

This is how I earn $50 in Southwest Rapid Rewards and flowers/gifts for less than $10 out of pocket.  It may seem like a lot of steps but shopping through portals and purchasing half-off vouchers literally takes seconds and the rewards are big.

1. Sign up for or into Ebates and type "Amazon Local" into the search box.

2. Click the Amazon Local link and search for "1800flowers".  Purchase 2 $30 vouchers for $15 each until July 9th.

3. If you have a Discover card, log in to Shop Discover and click the link for 1800Flowers. If you don't have access to Shop Discover you can use Mr. Rebates or Ebates though your cash back won't be as high.

4. Shopping through the 1800Flowers link at one of the shopping portals mentioned above, you will want to use one of the vouchers you purchased to join Passport (if you don't already have it).  This will give you free shipping for 1 year and right now it is on sale for $20.  Add a $10 gift to your cart to use the full $30 voucher.

5. At checkout enter the code RR22 and your Rapid Rewards account number to have 1000 points credited to your account. Your order must be $29.99 or more to earn the points.  This will work on the Passport order.

6. Use the second voucher before 9/30 and now that you have free shipping, purchase gifts anytime for as little as $4.50!

Here is how the cost breaks down:

Purchase $15 voucher for $30 of flowers or gifts.
Receive 6% back from Ebates -$0.90
Receive 15% back from Discover on $30 -4.50
$9.60 out of pocket plus:
Receive 1000 Rapid Rewards points. I value 1000 points at approximately $16-$18.
With your 1800Flower account you will earn a $20 Savings Pass for every $200 spent.  Even though you are using a voucher the $30 purchase counts and will earn you $3 toward this pass.

Ebates Offering Cashbaq Members Their Rebates

Were you a member of Cashbaq.com?  Unfortunately they didn't make it through the recession and went out of business.  You probably kisssed good-bye any rebates you were owed.  Maybe you even wrote off all rebate sites.  I hope not because I can tell you that with the exception of Cashbaq.com, which I had received checks from in the past, I have had no problems getting money from Ebates and Mr. Rebates.

There is some good news about Cashbaq.  Ebates is offering former Cashbaq members the rebates they earned but were unable to collect.  If you are a current member of Ebates check your e-mail for details.  It says they will give you the amount of your Cashbaq balance for returning to Ebates. I never left Ebates but was still able to take advantage of the offer.  If you are not an Ebates member you may still be able to sign up and get your rebate so give it a try.

Mr. Rebates

I wanted to remind you about a website called Mr. Rebates that has saved me money at many online stores.

What is Mr. Rebates? It's an online shopping mall where you get cash-back rebates plus money-saving coupons on any purchase that you make through their partner stores.

You can shop at hundreds of online stores like Dell, EBay, Office Depot, Old Navy, Macy's, Best Buy and many more. You can get up to 30% cash-back! Why pay full price online when you can get a cash back discount on ALL of your online shopping?

Membership is FREE and there are absolutely no strings attached. You will also get a $5.00 bonus added to your account for joining today!

As of today I have earned $74.51.  Use this link to join Mr. Rebates:

$20 Barnes & Noble voucher for $10 from Groupon

Pay $10 for $20 Worth of Toys and Games, Books and More at Barnes & Noble
through Groupon.  Deal expires 2/7/11

I just realized you can also get 8% back on that $10 by shopping thru Mr. Rebates!

And I just thought of something else! When you spend your $20 gift certificate use a Barnes & Noble link from Mr. Rebates or Ebates and get another 4% back.  There is no guarentee that you will receive a rebate since some stores won't allow it on purchases made with gift cards but it's worth a try.  It has worked for me in the past.

Fine Print: If $20 certificate is not used by April 10, 2011 the value will be reduced to the purchase price of $10. Limit 1/person. Limit 1/trans. Valid in-store or online. Valid on sale items.

Restaurant.com Gift Certificates Save More with Mr. Rebates or Ebates

Here is a step by step to maximize your savings or profit using 70% savings ($3/$25) and 30% rebate (on purchase of $3) example.

1. Join Mr. Rebates or Ebates (use whoever is giving a larger discount). You'll get a $5 rebate for joining, giving you a $2.60 profit on a $25 certificate. Everyone gets 30% back on their order. So a $25 gift certificate will be $2.40, $50 will be $4.80 and so on.

2. On the rebate site find Restaurant.com in the drop down menu under "Shop by Store". Click on one of the links shown to go to the Restaurant.com site. From here you can buy a $25 certificate-read step 3 but skip to step 4 unless you want to buy a $50 certificate or higher.

3. A word of advice is that if the restuarant you want to go to is a more expensive one then get a $50 or $75 certificate. I considered this but bought only one since it was my first time and I was skeptical. There was no way we could have kept our bill below $50 at the closest restuarant to us. So, in hindsight, I should have bought $50 for $6 to maximize my savings.

Click the "Give a Gift" tab and there will be a "Select an Option" drop down where you will be able to select a $50 or more certificate. Click "Buy Now".

4. Enter the discount code and you'll see your discount applied. Then you will proceed to checkout.

You can request a check from the rebate site when your account reaches $5.01 or $10 so I'll keep you posted for more deals!

If you have any questions just leave a comment or email me.
