YMMV 8% eBay Bucks on $50+ items (ends Sun PM)
This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Sunday night (5/7/17 at 11:59pm pacific), you earn 8% on $50+ items purchased during this promotional period. Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.
eBay could do a better job describing these promotions in the emails since they do not clearly outline the difference between a “$50+ item” and a “$50+ purchase”. The former is clear that it has to be reached with a single item. The latter is confusing since eBay now has a proper shopping cart and you can reach $50+ with 100 $0.50 widgets. I’m assuming this promotion is for the former (individual items priced $50+ individually).
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.
5% back in Rakuten Points with coupon
The Rakuten sounds like a futuristic racoon from a Japanese anime, but it’s also the name of the artist formerly known as Buy.com, and until 4/30/17, they offer 5% back in Rakuten reward points through the Rakuten website when you promo code REWARDME over there.

10% back in Rakuten Points with coupon
Good until Wednesday night 3/8/17, coupon code 10BACK gets you 10% back in Rakuten Rewards points (free to join their Rewards program if you are not already part of it) on purchases at the Rakuten wesbite.
CORRECTION: 6% to 10% eBay Bucks until Fri 3am ET (YMMV)
CORRECTION: The original post was incorrect. You get 10% eBay Bucks with individual items priced over $50, you get 8% for items between $25 and $50, an 6% for items under $25. While speed reading I missed the “up to” in the eBay email headline 🙁
This is back, and as before, it is YMMV and ends at 3am eastern on Friday (11:59pm pacific on Thursday). If you received an email/message from eBay about this offer, you can participate by activating it (click on the appropriate place in the email/message). You get up to 10% eBay Bucks on individual items. This particular offer does not have a minimum purchase amount. You get 10% on all eligible items!
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.
Unrelated to this promotion, and NOT eligible to earn Extra Bucks, the PayPal Digital Gifts eBay store is offering $50 iTunes email gift cards for $42.50. This is a 15% off discount. Limit up to four per customer.

Duracell Batteries Rewards are back at Office Depot (Sun to Sat)
The Duracell Batteries Penny (+ Sales Tax) After Rewards promotion is back at Office Depot and Office Max stores. You can find the offer online at their Rewards page and in-store in their Weekly circular ad. The terms are as before, you can buy one or two 16-packs of Duracell single-use AA or AAA batteries, and get back the purchase price (minus one penny) in Rewards a few weeks later. The Sales Tax amount is NOT included in the Rewards amount. Rewards do not roll over, so don’t pay with rewards if you expect to get rewards on the offer. These Rewards will arrive separately from their monthly rewards (a good thing because monthly rewards are only issued in $10 increments). Offer runs Sunday 2/19 until the close of business on Saturday 2/25/17.

Plan Ahead (February 5-11): Duracell Batteries Rewards offer returns at ODP/OMX
Batteries are included (if buy them that is). If you are a fan of the Duracell Battery Rewards promotions at Office Depot (ODP) and Office Max (OMX) stores, they are returning for the week of Sunday February 5 until the close of business on Saturday 11 in 2017. The terms are the same as before, you can buy up to two 16-packs of AA or AAA, pay full price, and a few weeks later (five weeks or less), you receive the purchase price (minus a penny) as a reward in your ODP/OMX rewards account. The sales tax is not included in the reward. Per the weekly ad on their website, these rewards will be issued separately from the monthly rewards (this means you get the full amount, and not multiples of $10). You cannot pay for the batteries with rewards and get rerwads again (you can’t roll rewards like you could wtih the old Office Max rewards program).
The offer is good for online purchases as well. When the offer activates on Sunday 2/5/17, they will appear on the Rewards page.
Strategically you can combine the purchase of the above with their ink recycling rewards. You get $2 back per ink/cartridge (regardless of size, from the tiny single colors to the elephant size toners), but they only pay regular rewards in multiples of $10 per month, and you need to make a purchase of $10+ (with new money; not rewards) during that particular month. The 16-packs are $14 each, so even one of them gets you over the $10+ prerequisite. You can recycle up to ten cartridges per month and get rewards for them. You can recycle more, but you won’t get rewards for cartridges #11+ for that particular month. Strategically, you recycle the biggest/heaviest and leakiest first, and save the rest for the next calendar month 🙂

New weekly round of 1c After Rewards Duracell 16pk single-use AA or AAA alkaline Batteries after Rewards
Sunday is here which means a new round of the Office Depot-Max Duracell rewards promotion is under way. As before, you can buy a 16-pack of Duracell single-use AA or AAA alkaline batteries for full price, and a few weeks later you will receive your purchase price back (excluding $0.01 and sales tax) in Office Depot Rewards (not cash). You can buy two of these per week (any combination of AA or AAA, eg two of one kind, or one of each), the week defined Sunday AM to Saturday PM. Avoid last minute purchases online during the Sat-to-Sun date transition to prevent week-change issues. You can find them at the bottom row of the Office Depot – Max Rewards page. The offer is good in-store or online.
More details on them in our previous post.
8% eBay Bucks (No Minimum, Must Activate; YMMV)
Another eBay Bucks promotion was rolled out earlier today by eBay. As usual with these, they are YMMV because I don’t know if they sent this to everyone or a subset of the eBay users. This current iteration is 8% eBay Bucks with no minimum purchase required. The standard eBay Bucks percentage is 2%. As usual, you have to manually activate the offer (press a button in the email or eBay message/app), and you are good to go. The offer ends on Wednesday at 11:59pm Pacific time. The usual restrictions apply.
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.

+ 10% promotional rewards = $180~ in future purchases at B&H Photo
+ the Sigma USB Lens Dock
+ the Sigma 105mm Protector filter (this is not a baby lens, so it’s not a baby-priced filter either)
PS: if you are trying to decode the lettered brackets at the end of 3rd-party lens post headlines, C = Canon, N = Nikon, A = Sony Alpha Minolta A-mount, P = Pentax K, S = Sigma SA, E = Sony E-mount, X = Fuji X, m43 = Micro Four Thirds, etc.
PS2: for more action, check the latest featured specials at B&H.
YMMV 8% eBay Bucks on $50+ items [must activate first]
eBay is back with another Bonus Bucks promotion, you earn 8% eBay Bucks on individual items priced at $50 or higher (that’s the item price, before taxes or shipping). As usual, you have to manually opt-in to the offer before you get the bonus. Also note that this may be offered to a subset of eBay users, either on a rotating basis or a “big data” basis, so that’s why I say YMMV since I have no way of knowing what percentage of eBay users is being offered this which expires Tuesday November 22 at 11:59pm pacific time.

New Sigma Lens Instant Savings w/freebies and rewards (27 options)

Buy $50 Best Buy Gift Card, Get $8 equivalent back in Plenti points (16% effective discount)
If you are a fan of Best Buy, and you are participating in the Plenti rewards program, and you have a Rite Aid store near you, we have good news for you. Until the close of business on Saturday 11/19/16, when you buy a $50 Best Buy plastic gift card at the Rite Aid brick and mortar stores, and show them your Plenti rewards card (or use your phone number to tag the purchase at the register), you will receive 800 Plenti points ($8 buying power to use in future purchases). You can spend your 800 points the morning after your purchase, so you don’t have to wait like a rebate. The points are good for 2+ years in your account, they don’t expire quickly. You also get instant confirmation on the cash register receipt that your purchase qualified. This offer is limit two during this particular week (Sunday AM to Saturday PM).

YMMV 4% to 8% eBay Bucks depending on item price

And items between $50 and $100, get 4%. The percentage depends on an item’s price, not the order total. The usual rewards percentage is 2%. The usual terms and exclusions apply.
