Lucky Rewards: FREE Teddy’s Root Beer on the weekend

UPDATE: so all you need the app for is to load the offer into your Lucky’s rewards account. You don’t need to use the app in-store. So you can install the app, add the freebie to your card, and uninstall the app. It is horrid permissions-wise (Google Play), and it keeps pestering you to turn on Bluetooth. Why the f*ck does a grocery store app need Bluetooth? Which is why it is a good idea to have a phone running Android 6.0 or later, so you can tame some of the out of control permission grabs!

ORIGINAL POST
If you are participating in the Lucky’s Rewards program (it helps if you are near a Lucky’s store), they are back with a new freebie, but this time, you can only claim the freebie using the official Lucky’s app, and you can only redeem it during the weekend. The freebie is a 26oz Teddy’s Root Beer or Ginger Ale. One per customer. You have to claim it using their app, and only on Friday, Saturday or Sunday (March 24-26 in 2017). Enjoy March Madness with a free root beer 🙂

PS: their app is free, you just have to login with your account. If you are worried about permission over-reach, if you are using Android 6.0 or later, you can reign in any permissions you may find objectionable.

Buy $50+ in select Gift Cards, Get $10 off your next grocery purchase at Lucky’s

There is a very nice gift promotion at Lucky’s stores until 2/14/17 (yes, a Valentine’s Seasonal promotion). If you buy $50 or more from a list of eligible gift cards, which include Starbucks, Best Buy, Macy’s and Kohls), the cash register will print a coupon at checkout that gets you $10 off your next grocery purchase at Lucky’s stores. So you will pay full price for the gift cards. The list of eligible ones can be seen in the screenshot below:

You can get to $50 with any combination, one card from one retailer, multiple cards from the same retailer, or multiple cards from multiple retailers. If you plan to buy $100 or more, you may want to buy them in two separate transactions, so you can get two $10 off coupons.

“Next purchase” means you can turn around after buying the gift cards and start shopping groceries to spend the $10 coupon right away. You don’t have to come back at a later day. Even if you don’t need/want to buy anyone else a gift card, you can use these yourself. For example, you can load the Starbucks card into the app, and it will spend itself in Cascara Lattes and the like 🙂

FREE Noosa Yogurt for Lucky’s Rewards members

Good until the stores close on Tuesday 1/17/17, you can get a FREE 8oz Noosa Yogurt at Lucky brick and mortar stores. You have to be a Rewards member and you have to manually add the promotion to your rewards account. Using the email, it is simple, you just click on the big ole red button and that’s it. Then you buy the item, scanning your rewards card (or entering your phone number) and their computer deducts its price, making it free.

You may need an employee to make it go if you use self-checkout, although by now they are trained and can do it remotely from their “control terminal” that monitors all the self-checkout lanes.

As you can see from the pictures below, they have multiple flavors, you can pick one 8oz container for FREE! If they run out, they may be able to give you a raincheck for a freebie even (it happened to me once).

Lucky’s: Buy $50+ in select Gift Cards, Get $10 coupon to use in future purchases

Until December 27 in 2016, at Lucky’s grocery stores, they have two parallel promotions on gift card purchases. If you buy $50 or more of those gift cards, the cash register will print a $10 coupon that you can use on your next $10+ purchase at Lucky’s stores. You have to buy gift cards from the same group – it could be $50 in a single card or two of them or any combination that gets you to $50+.

NOTE that gift cards may have to be purchased with cash or a debit card, as more and more retailers shy away from purchases of gift cards with credit cards. It reduces the retailers’ risk, but you miss out on credit card rewards 🙁

FREE Powerbar for Lucky’s Rewards members

Lucky’s doesn’t get enough credit for its rewards program, one of the few that frequently offers its participating no-strings attached freebies. Which brings us to this week, good until Tuesday 11/8/16, if you are a Lucky’s Rewards member, and if you add the offer to your account (the big ole red button in their emails), you can get a FREE Powerbar (nutrition bar). You just have to use your Lucky Rewards number at checkout. This works at the self-checkout as well as the standard cashier-operated register.

Here’s a screenshot from that email. Check your inbox to find yours (if you are a member):

Limit one yogurt per customer during this promotion. You don’t even have to buy anything else from the store, although Miss Manners would argue that you have to buy at least one other item 🙂

YMMV 250 Bonus Points with Lucky Rewards Survey

If you are participating in the Lucky’s Rewards program, check your emails. This is mentioned in the email with the weekly freebie that came out earlier on. It gets you 250 Bonus Points if you participate in a brief online survey. The buying power of 250 points is $2.50. The survey is about their Rewards program. The survey promotion expires 9/25/16 but it may end earlier if they get enough responses. Limit one per customer. I will post an update below after I complete mine…

Lucky Rewards: Free Chips or Popcorn (Market Essentials Brand)

If you are a member of the Lucky Rewards program, there’s another freebie waiting for you, good until Tuesday night (9/27/16). As usual, first you must add the freebie to your account which is easy to do, simply press the big ole red button in the Lucky’s email that mentions this promotion. You can verify it’s there by going to your Lucky’s Rewards account.

lucky_free_popcorn_or_chips

The freebie is your choice, either Chips or Popcorn, all sizes and varieties available, from the Lucky’s house brand “Market Essentials”. Which is why they are so generous with this offer, since it’s their own 🙂 It is a while-supplies-last promotion, but if they happen to run out, you can try asking for a rain-check.

Once successfully added to your account, it looks like this under the Rewards Dashboard over there:

Shop Lucky’s, Earn Points Towards Cuisinart Products [Big Spenders]

If you spend a lot of money at Lucky’s stores, there’s a new promotion running now that is separate and parallel to the Lucky Rewards. For every $10 you spend at Lucky’s stores, you get one E-Stamp. Once you collect enough e-stamps, you can redeem them towards ten different Cuisinart products. The redemption prices are 70 E-Stamps to 200 E-Stamps, but they start everyone out of the game with five E-Stamps.

So to have a chance of getting something out of this adventure, you need to spend a minimum of $650 for a Can Opener, $850 for a Coffee Grinder or Waffle Maker, $1050 for a Citrus Juicer, all the way up to $1950 for a Blender/Food Processor combo. You can see all the options at the promotional page.

Now that may sound like a LOT, however, this promotion is running for four months, from September 14 (2016) until January 17 (2017). So that makes it more attainable, but it’s still for big spenders 🙂

Also helping a little bit, they sometimes have special promotions where you earn bonus E-Stamp when you make select purchases.

These are separate from the Plenti Rewards points. You continue to earn those in parallel.

Lucky Rewards members: Free Tostitos Salsa or Dip

If you are a member of the Lucky’s grocery rewards program, you are in luck! The chain is back with a weekly freebie for their rewards member. It is Tostitos time, you get a free Salsa or Cheese or Dairy Dip. Just in time for football season. Assorted varieties are eligible among the 10 oz to 15.5 oz options. Here’s a screenshot of the relevant part:

lucky_tostitos

As usual, you have to manually add the offer to your Lucky’s Rewards account by pressing that big old RED button in the email. Once added, then you can buy it at the store, and as long as you enter your rewards number (or scan your card), their cash register will automatically deduct the price. If you are using self checkout, an employee may be needed to punch in some numbers on the register. The “attention lights” will go on on their own.

Lucky Rewards: Buy $50+ iTunes Gift Card, Get $10 off Future Purchase and 200 Rewards Points

The weekly freebies parade is currently over for Lucky Rewards members, but they have a new tentpole promotion for week running August 17-23 in 2016 (the usual Wednesday AM through Tuesday PM grocery weekly-ad cycle).

lucky_itunes

If you buy $50 or more in iTunes Gift Cards, their cash register will spit out a coupon that gets you $10 off your NEXT purchase at Lucky’s. As long as you can find $10 or more to buy there in the future, then it’s like you are getting a 20% off on the iTunes gift card. On top of that, you earn 200 Lucky Rewards points, which can be used to redeem “Dollars Off” coupons ($2 purchasing power) or towards actual rewards items.

I don’t need any iTunes gift cards at the moment, so I am not going to do this offer, so I can’t tell you any more than what the email says. This appears to be an automatic offer, you don’t need to add it to your account manually.

Lucky’s Rewards: FREE 4pk of BFree Rolls (no wheat, no gluten)

If you love bread rolls but want to avoid wheat and gluten, AND if you are a Lucky’s Rewards member, good until Tuesday 8/9/16 closing time, you can get a free packages of BFree Rolls (four of them). As usual, you have to add the offer to your Lucky’s Rewards account by clicking on the big red button in the email mentioning the offer.

lucky_free_bfree_rolls

No purchase is necessary to get the freebie, although Miss Manners would suggest buying at least something to balance the freebie 🙂 If you are using self-checkout, an employee is needed to punch in numbers at the self-checkout for the freebie.
