Sears Cashback Bonanza for October 2017 (up to $50 in Rewards)

For the whole month of October 2017, if you are a member of the Sears SYW (Shop Your Way) Rewards program, or you don’t object to signing up for it, you can earn cashback up to $50 in Cashback Rewards per purchase. The percentages vary by product category. More details at the Cashback Bonanza promotional page.

The Cashback Rewards can be used in future purchases, following the terms, conditions and expiration rules of their rewards program.

Speaking of Sears, you can buy $200 Sears e-Gift Card with a 15% off discount, paying $170 for it. This is sold by PayPal, so you don’t have to worry about getting cheated on plastic gift cards and then having a big kerfuffle to sort it out.

Duracell Battery AA/AAA Rewards are back at Office Depot/Max

If you are a fan of Duracell Single Use AA or AAA batteries, and also a fan of shopping at Office Depot / Office Max, their weekly rewards promotions running 10/1/17 until the close of business on Saturday 10/7/17 include the return of the Duracell Coppertop battery rewards.

As before, using your rewards card during the in-store (show it to cashier or give them your phone number) or online purchase (make sure it’s in your account profile), you pay full price + sales tax in the store. A few weeks later, the full price of the batteries minus $0.01 will appear as an Office Depot Rewards in your OD/OMX rewards account. The sales tax is not included in the reward, that’s out of pocket.

As before, it’s limit two total per customer, any combination of eligible 16-packs of AA or AAA Duracell Coppertops.

Only these two specific packages of Duracell are eligible!

(ENDED) YMMV: 8% to 10% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum]

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks on $50+ items

If I ever use the term “Fall into Savings” please feel free to e-yell at me in the comments! Because every other email I open today says “Fall into Savings” 🙂 Might as well fall into a pumpkin spice latte while eating a pumpkin kringle and wearing harvest-orange head-to-toe 😉

Which brings us to another eBay Bonus Bucks promotion 🙂

Jump in the Bay of Fees! This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Saturday at 11:59pm pacific time (9/23/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases with a minimum individual price of $50+.

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.

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.
