Freebies and free stuff

Everybody knows that their local grocery store offers a customer rewards program, but did you know that many other stores where you might make everyday purchases offer them as well? Below I’ve compiled a list of such programs and there were quite a few I didn’t even know about. (I can’t tell you how many movie ticket’s I’ve bought over the past few years – wish I’d known about Regal’s program earlier!)

ACE Hardware (ACE Rewards) – Earn 10 points for every $1 you spend and once you get 2,500 points, you get a $5 reward. You also get 1,000 free bonus points on your first purchase so you basically have to spend $150 the first time around before getting a reward. If you are a DIY person, spending that much on home improvements isn’t hard.

AMC Theaters (AMC MovieWatcher) – You earn two points for every ticket you buy and can get up to four point per visit. Cash the points in for free popcorn (10 points) or movie tickets (30 points).

AutoZone (Rewards) – Spend $20 in-store and you earn one credit. If you then earn five credits within six months, you’ll receive $20 AutoZone store credit.

(I refilmed this earlier today and cut it down to about 6 minutes, but YouTube is taking forever to get it uploaded and I don’t feel like waiting any more, so you get the extended cut! Also, I messed up in the video and said the coupons expire on December 31, when in fact they expire on November 1. Still, plenty of time to use them!)
