Random News: $10 Starbucks eGift Card for $5 on Groupon, Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean 22, and AMEX Offers for eBags and Vitamin World
Good morning everyone. Hopefully you are all staying warm somewhere as 2/3 of the country is under a pile of snow. This deal should warm you up. Groupon has $10 Starbucks eGift Cards for $5 (link).
Before purchasing your egift card, remember to go through an online shopping portal (link).
In other news, Hilton Grand Vacations Club is opening a new property in Myrtle Beach, SC called Ocean 22 (hopefully no high stakes action packed break ins like Oceans 11 etc.). To celebrate the new property, they have rooms available for $129 + taxes/fees that are bookable for July 1 onward (link).
The $129 rate doesn’t begin until September 8. All the dates between July 1 and September 8 are $200+ per night.
Last but not least, 2 straggler AMEX Offers. See all of yesterday’s offers here and learn about AMEX Small Business Saturday here.
A little birdie told me that there are some really good AMEX Offers coming in the next 2 weeks regarding Toys R Us / Babies R Us, PetSmart, and Zappos. If you are planning on shopping at those stores, I would wait 1-2 weeks…
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
P.S. I just received the following email from Bluehost, my blog hosting company:

Hi Grant,
I saw Walmart ($5 off $15) in MY OFFERS (not in Available Offers). I don’t recall saving them. Did Amex do it automatically, because I saved it a different time? Or, is it there from the last time I saved them – but I used it the last time, so it shouldn’t still be there, right? Please advise. Thanks a million!
Did you spend at least $15 on Walmart.com with the AMEX card that has the Walmart offer saved to it? If so, don’t use that card on Walmart.com.
I did,but that was a few weeks ago. I’m trying to figure out if this is a new offer or the same old one.
Can you send me a screenshot of your enrolled AMEX offers? I will let you know what is going on. Thanks Ron.
I emailed it to you.
Thank you, I got your email and replied to you.
Yes, indeed. Thanks!
Looks like the Starbucks deal is sold out on Groupon. Fortunately I got it four times using four different groupon accounts before it sold out…
Good work Chris. I have way more Starbucks than I need at the moment, so I only got in on 1 Groupon. Did you max out the Starbucks AMEX Offer? I got in twice.
Side note, I met with Shelli today and she has a few Alaska Airlines upgrade codes that she can’t use either.
i haven’t maxed out the amex starbucks offer yet, but I will. I will have enough Starbucks money to last a year, but that’s okay.
Yes, just like Amazon $$, you will eventually use it up.
