Lucky Rewards members: FREE 2 Liter Dr. Pepper (expires 11/10/15)

Quite possibly the best benefit (and most unique) benefit of the Lucky’s Supermarkets rewards program is that every few weeks, they offer you a free item. An unconditional free item. No “buy this get that”, you just get it for FREE! A new promotion went out via email today, and this one gets you a free 2 Liter Dr. Pepper. As before, you have to manually add it to your Rewards card (one click from the email, and login if you are not already logged to your Lucky’s account).

The free item is deducted automatically from your Lucky’s account when you make an eligible purchase. If you are using the self-checkout, it typically needs an employee to enter their numbers to verify the freebie, but they are typically hovering over self-checkout, so they are not hard to find.

This particular offer must be added to your account and redeemed by the end of day on 11/10/15 (Tuesday).

FREE 12oz Bing Cherry Drink for Lucky Rewards members

More and more companies are attempting to dip into their “big data”, so a number of offers now may be targeted to segments of their customer base, not everyone. Which makes posting about them harder, since you can’t always tell whether it’s a “for all” or “for some” offer.

Which brings us to this new offer from the Lucky Rewards program. If you are a member, check your email for a new offer that gets you one FREE 12oz can of Bing Cherry beverage. You have to manually click on the “Add this offer to your account” and that’s it. You use your Rewards when you buy it, and their computer will automatically adjust the price. No coupon code needed.

lucky_rewards_free_bing_drink

You must add this offer to your account by October 13 (2015) and use it by that date!

With more and more rewards program going into more convoluted and twisted options (like Staples and the blended Office Depot-Max), which typically work against the average consumer, it is refreshing (no pun intended!) to see Lucky actually offer free products to their Rewards members without any complications or jumping through hoops. Needless to say, it’s not totally free, because they use the data from your Rewards account as food for their hungry “Big Data” creatures 🙂

Lucky Rewards: FREE 15~oz Tostitos Salsa (claim by 9/8/15)

The Lucky Rewards program is kinda rewriting the rules on how to run a Rewards program. If you are a member, check your emails! Another freebie offer is ready for you to add to your card. You have to manually click through from the email to add it to the card, but that’s all the “work” needed. This came with today’s email. We even have a choice between the 15.5oz Chunky Salsa or the 15oz Salsa Con Queso. The offer expires 9/8/15, so be sure to redeem it by then!

The continuing stream of freebies is really the best part of their rewards program. The actual points are on the meh side of things, they are essentially 1%, and they expire fairly quickly, so these are probably more useful to big shoppers or people who buy all their groceries and supplies from Luckys.

Lucky Rewards: double points until 9/1/15

In a new e-mail sent earlier today to participating of the Lucky Rewards program, we learn that until 9/1/15, we earn double rewards points automatically. You don’t have to use your points on Toscana glassware. They are just using the double points as an opportunity to remind people about that promotion. Or if someone is close to getting them as rewards, the double points will get them there faster.

Lucky Rewards Members: Free 1lb of Driscoll’s Strawberries (redeem by 8/18/15)

IF they give awards for Rewards programs, perhaps Lucky’s deserves to win one! We have yet another unconditional freebie offered to Rewards members. Check your emails! You must click on the big round link to add the offer to your Lucky’s account. This offer gets you 1 lb of Driscoll’s strawberries! Once you add the offer to your rewards account, you have until 8/18/15 to redeem it, but don’t wait until the last minute, because we humans specialize in procrastination and you don’t want them to be out 🙂

The other nice thing is that their checkout registers (cashier or self-checkout) automatically picks off the free offers in your account – you don’t have to enter any coupons and neither does the cashier. So as long as you get the correct freebie, it works frictionlessly.

Lucky Rewards: $5 off $35+ purchase (must add coupon)

If you are a Lucky Rewards member, check your email or app. There’s a new limited time coupon promotion for the weekend, get $5 off a purchase of $35+ at their stores, good until the close of business on Sunday 8/2/15. You must manually add the coupon code to your Lucky’s rewards account _before_ you can use it. There’s a convenient “click” in the email. Here’s a screenshot from that email:

Luckys Rewards members: Free 12-pack Sunny Select Soda

The Lucky grocery stores are upping the ante in reward member freebies! A new offer that just got sent by email gives you a 12-pack of Sunny Select Soda (the flavor of your choice) for FREE! You have to click from the email to add the freebie to your Luckys rewards account, and then you can claim it in the store. Offer expires 8/4/15, so don’t sleep on it! You still have to pay taxes if applicable to your state/county. Screenshot below (you have to add the offer from your email, not this blog):

Lucky promotion: $10 off future purchase with $50+ in Gift Cards (Xbox, iTunes, GPlay)

This is a YMMV promotion, but if you use the self-checkout machine at Lucky’s stores, it may spit out a promotional offer after you complete the transaction. The offer says that if you purchase $50 or more in any combination of iTunes or Google Play or xBox gift cards, their checkout register will spit out a coupon for $10 off your next purchase. You will pay full price for the gift cards. The discount will be on the next purchase after that. Limit two per customer. I haven’t done this promotion (yet at least), so I can’t tell you exactly how it works. If you are a regular Lucky’s shopper, this is effectively a 20% off on the gift cards, assuming you were going to spend that future money on future purchases anyway (eg you regularly buy groceries there).

Free for Lucky Rewards members: Lipton Sparkling Iced Tea

If you are a member of the Lucky’s Rewards program, check your emails or your rewards account or their app! There you may find an offer that gets you a FREE can of Lipton Sparkling Iced Tea. The choices are from the Lipton Sparkling Iced Tea Raspberry, Peach or Lemonade. You must add this offer to your Lucky’s rewards account before redeeming this in-store (and obviously use your rewards when you make the purchase). Offer ends through 6/16/15.

Also don’t forget that during June 2015, Lucky’s Rewards members can get a free Redbox movie rental per week. The promo code will print on your Lucky’s receipt, so you have to visit them at least once per week in order to get the codes for the free rental. The codes work on all Redbox machines, not just the ones available inside the Lucky Stores.

Lucky Rewards Members: free Redbox movie per week (June 2015)

If you are part of the Lucky’s Rewards program, they sent an email today with a new promotion. When you make a purchase at a Lucky’s store using your Rewards card, your cash register receipt will have promotion codes that get you one free Redbox movie rental per week for the month of June 2015. Each free rental is only for one night. If you keep the movie for more than one night, you have to pay for nights #2 and later. As such, you have to provide a payment method when you rent the movie at the Redbox kiosks. Cannot be combined with other offers.

UPDATE: the promo codes work on all Redbox locations, not just the ones inside the Lucky store you got the promo code from.
