Go to your local Sam’s Club and purchase one item from below. Receive 1,500 Points. Purchase two or more items from below. Receive 3,000 Points.

oints are valid for in-store purchases only.

The following products are included:
Best Foods Mayonnaise
Hellmann's Mayonnaise
Lipton Tea Products
Country Crock Spread
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
Lipton Recipe Secrets Soup Mix

Might be if you have a Sam's membership, which I don't, and can use giant sizes, which I can't.

I could have stocked up on the Tea. But alas we don't have Sam's membership. We had been members of Sam's and Costco for a while though always drove about an hour to Costco. When Coscto announced they were opening a local warehouse, we let our Sam's membership laps. It isn't worth signing up for Sam's again to get this. I suppose I could pay the 10% to buy as a non member though. Did that before when they had a similar offer for Shout!.

Free one day memberships are very easy, also, in the pictures the tubs of butter for example seem small? I'm not sure I guess I will have to go check it out.

I actually had some problems with them crediting recently, "you'll have the points in 30 days", emailed +45 days, they said they were a little busy, emailed again +60 days and got the points automatically credited. Just have to stay on top of them, I guess.

I see the Crock/ butter is around $4.75 each (about $10 for 3,000 points=$20), Wonder what the best price is of those items, I'll check.

I agree that the new site design is terrible, but I love how the United MileagePlus awards now post in about 5 seconds. ^ The last time I redeemed it took a few months.

Out of stock? How is that even possible? It would be like an electronic download being out of stock. Obviously they capacity control the United awards.

Anyone have problems with Magazines.com crediting properly? 100 points per dollar is really encouraging me to just go ahead an pick up an IMO obscenely expensive subscription to Monocle if the 15K MP will post properly. Always seem to end up buying it anyways, and my local Barnes & Noble seems to get them consistently in a month late.

Mine have posted in a couple of days, including an order I made two days ago. Points were in my account this morning.

Quite possibly the best redemption if you live near either one. Boston market frequently has like a $3 off $6 or $4 off $10 coupons floating around!

Thanks for posting this; I would never have seen it.

I normally would hold out for something else, but given that there's an Einstein Bro's near my house, $50 for 5k points is too good to pass up. Just redeemed today. tls

Imho, best redemption I've seen. Enjoy it! Wish I had one near me.

I have not gotten the 100 points for searches in December. Usually they post on the 1st of the month, and I've had any problems with this. Is anyone else missing search points? Guess I'll have to chase ... tls
