$5 off purchase of two books at B&N online

Good until Wednesday at 11:59pm pacific, coupon code BOOKISH gets you $5 off the purchase of TWO printed books at the Barnes & Noble website. Exclusions apply to the coupon as usual. Some product types (ebooks, LEGOs, Nooks, gift cards, etc) are excluded from general purpose couponization.

YMMV eBay 8% to 10% eBay Bucks Rewards on $50+

Good until Tuesday 5/22/18 at 11:59pm pacific… This is YMMV as usual! The offer is being sent out via email and eBay messages, it is a new 8% eBay Bucks promotion, or 10% if you shop with the official eBay apps. This offer has a minimum purchase of $50+ to earn the bonus. Otherwise you earn the standard eBay bucks percentage. You must manually activate it before you earn the extra eBay Bucks. This has no minimum purchase amount. I do not know if every eBay Bucks member gets these offers or the eBay computers do their “targeting thing” (eg nudge people who haven’t shopped in a while to shop, and so forth).

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here, including the free Google Home Mini w/$150+ orders promotion running until 5/29/18.

As usual, there are limits to how much you can earn. You can earn $100 maximum for an individual transaction, and a maximum of $500 from multiple purchases made during this promotional period.

Meh brings back $5/month free shipping membership

As mentioned in the main text of today’s deal at Meh.com, Meh is bringing back their free shipping membership plan, let’s call it version 2.0. You pay $5 per month, and you can cancel it at any time. For any month you are a paying member, you get free shipping at Meh and its other sister shopping sites (Morningsave, Casemates, Checkout.org and any others they may come up with in the future). If you are a regular shopper there, the membership makes sense since a number of their offers face a make-or-break as a deal based on the shipping fee. Details on the new membership at the bottom of this Meh forum post. The top part of the post gives background and history.
