DirecTV promo and how to save some extra money for 10 months

How to save on DirecTV EVEN more for 10 months....When you order, call 1-800-507-4045 and give them the reference number "58009411".  You will receive....

1.  $10 extra dollars off a month of service.

2.  $100 rebate gift card

3.  Free Showtime and Starz for 3 months

4.  Packages starting at $29.99 (I would recommend getting the HD DVR for one receiver....worth $199.99)

5.  Free Installation

6.  An additional $25 gift card just for having the 3 free months of Showtime.  Submit your first 3 DirecTV bills along with a 3x5 Index Card to (the rebate form doesn't work properly, but the 3x5 Index Card works as well as a rebate form):

$25 Rebate Offer

Dept. B

P.O. Box 430796

El Paso, TX 88543-0796

Please note--the absolute cheapest package for $24.99 only has 50 channels and doesn't include the Showtime package, but other packages starting at $29.99 (I recommend the $39.99 package with DVR service and 200 channels--and does include STARZ) does include Showtime.

And please don't believe the myth that EVERY time it rains, the dish goes out.  It was pouring rain and I still haven't had it go out.  Customer service is #1.  The first bill doesn't include the rebate, but you don't have installation costs.

PS.  You can refer your friends to DirecTV.  When you sign up, tell them to call that same number but give them your referral code (account number).

Final days on coupon....Over the Moon milk

Check this out!  Walmart still has the Over the Moon milk for $2 a half gallon carton.  It's wonderful!  I wouldn't have tried it if it weren't for Shannon at The Bargain Buggy.  Here's a coupon for $1 off this wonderful milk.  (It's fat free milk and they have chocolate milk in it, but it's as good as 2%....what I used to drink.)  This good coupon is in a PDF format, so you can print plenty of them.....and it expires on December 31, 2009.  After the coupon, the milk will be $1 a half gallon.

And to all the Saraland shoppers......Walmart WILL allow you to use MANUFACTURER INTERNET COUPONS with a bar code.  BTW, I said MANUFACTURER coupons, not competitor coupons such as those from Publix or Dollar General.

Brita Pitcher $4 after coupon

At Walmart, the Brita Water Pitcher is $9.  On this site you will be able to print a $5 coupon, making it $4.

Thank you, Eastern Shore Mom for the suggestion. 

UPDATE:  I will post a new blog showing this purchase at Walmart on 12-31-09 where I actually paid $4 for the Brita Water Pitcher.

Neal's Freebies of the Week WINNERS

I have 3 freebies WINNERS for this week.  Each are at different stores, but one can also be done at Target I think.

1.  Walgreens--Hunt's Tomato Sauce 8 oz cans.  3 cans for $1.00 with Walgreens In-Ad Coupon.  Play Recession Payback and receive a $1.00 coupon off ANY 3 Hunt's products.  Total cost--FREE (tax may vary).

2.  Target--Kodak Disposable Camera.  $5.00.  Use "TARGET" coupon on page 4 to receive item for free.  (Some stores are reporting possible overage around the United States.)

3.  CVS--Advil PM.  99 cents for sample pack.  You will receive 99 cents back in ECB's.

Restaurant Freebie for the week--The free Big Buford returns on the table this week.  Look out for the Whataburger coupons.  I never received mine yesterday for today's special, but I found out it was for the apple or fried pie.

Publix Penny item (not in F'Hope or Gulf Shores, but only in participating stores)-->Hot chocolate.

$5/$20 CVS Coupon (good at ANY CVS store, not just California)

This CVS coupon is good at ALL CVS stores, not just San Francisco stores just to get this straight.

Here's the link to get it.  Do not get confused, it can be used at your local CVS store.

MONEY MAKER @ Walgreens

Since Walgreens has a $5 Register Reward coupon in yesterday's newspaper, there is a moneymaking opportunity if you feel like you're getting sick.  This may be very YMMV, but it's worth a try

The Theraflu Sugar Free packets are 2/$10.
Purchase 4 @ $20.
M&M Premiums (yummy) are 2/$5
Purchase 2 @ $5.

Use the following coupons:
4 Manufacturer coupons for ANY Theraflu $1.50 off.
1 Walgreens coupon in the Diabetes and You for $2.00 (note:  Most Walgreens stores will scan this four times, so there is no need for 4 coupons.  These magazines are located in the pharmacy.)  When it's scanned 4 times, it will take $8 off.
2 $1.00 coupons for the M&M Premium Triple Chocolate V 12-6-09

You will pay:  $9.00 plus tax
You will receive:
$1.00 RR for the December 2009 RR deals (11-29-09 to 12-26-09) on the M&Ms,
$6.00 RR for the Theraflu (2 offers @ $3.00 for 4 boxes of Theraflu)
$5.00 RR for the 4 day sale since your order was $25 before tax and coupons.

Please note:  You MAY (yes, it is confirmed) that you may use $25 on your order before coupons to receive the $5 RR bonus.

Discussion 1-How to save at the pharmacy

I would like to explain how people can save money at the pharmacy on prescriptions.

1.  USE A FREE PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT CARD.  They have one located in mailed coupons called the Simple Savings Card.  It's good for the entire family.  There's this other one called the USA Drug Plan which I used in Publix grocery store.  Both cards can save you from 10% to 80% on brand name or generic drugs.  An example of this can be explained like this:

30 Clonidine HCL 0.1 MG was $11.99 at Publix.
I used the USA Drug Plan and the price was knocked down to $6.72.

Now, Walmart was not an option that day, so I couldn't pay the $4.00 (plus they don't take the $10 gift card coupon I got at Target that day).

2.  USE A COUPON IF POSSIBLE.  Sometimes it's not possible to get a gift card coupon, but if you get one, treat it like cash.  Some gift cards give you $10 for a new prescription, but others give you $25 for a transferred prescription.

Here's the dish on who will let you use them and who won't (from memory):

*Rite Aid and CVS will allow you to use 1 per day whether it's from their store or from a competitor.  (Tip:  If your pharmacy is rude like the one on 900 Government Street in Mobile, AL, you may call the 1-800 number on the back of your CVS card or call the corporate number to Rite Aid.)
*Publix will allow you to use (I think) 1 per day whether it's from their store or from a competitor.  Some Publix stores will allow you to exchange their store gift card for any one they have on stock.  For example, you may exchange your Publix gift card (at redemption) for a Home Depot gift card.  That is very YMMV (your mileage may vary).
*Target will allow you to use their coupons only, but competitors is YMMV.
*Walgreens will only allow you to use their coupons only, but competitors is YMMV.
*Walmart is YMMV on every issue.  Be sure to print out their coupon policy.
*Kroger (which is NOT in the Mobile market) has the $4 prescriptions and will allow use of any prescription coupon.

3.  ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR SAMPLES IF THERE IS NOT A GENERIC EQUIVALENT.  Doctors get plenty of sample medicines to give to their patients in case they need it.  If there is an generic for that your condition, see if the doctor can find a $4 equivalent for that drug.

4.  When you go to the doctor and you are insulin dependent or you check your blood sugar at least once a day, ask your doctor for a prescription for cheap items such as alcohol swabs, insulin syringes, or lancets.  And if you have a coupon for a drug you need (They're listed on http://www.needymeds.org in alphabetical order) where you can get a 30 day sample or 5 free pens of insulin, get a prescription for that and take it to the pharmacy.  Please note that for the free prescription, there will be no refills and no free gift card for a new prescription.

5.  CVS is not the cheapest place in the world to buy prescriptions, and most stores will not match competitors prices (unless the price is cheaper using the discount card and it's worth it to you, do it).  Therefore, use the EXTRA CARE card.  For every 2 prescriptions you fill at CVS, no matter if it's a free script or not, you will receive a $1.00 ECB (Extra Care Bucks) at redemption of the last quarter.  Quarterly ECB's will print on January 10th I think.

Introduction to freebies.....Refer-A-Friend

UPDATE JANUARY 6, 2010

I am a loyal customer of these companies.  They would like to get new customers, and for my hard work, I would like to earn money from these companies by referring customers to their customers.  I will list them in order.  If you want the referral certificate, please email me at nealsdeals2010 at att dot net.

1.  Wachovia Bank - They have an EXCELLENT customer service reputation.  I have banked with them since SouthTrust Bank in Alabama sold their stock shares to Wachovia in 2005.  One of my friends works there, so if you come to my home area, be sure to tell them that I sent you.

For more information, please check out the website http://www.wachovia.com/referral or just email me.  I can get some referral slips.  Offer expired December 31, 2009.

2.  DIRECTV - Please email me before going and I will give you my certain number that you will need prior to ordering.  DirecTV has a great referral program where you will get a $100 bonus (paid in $10 installments on your bill for 10 months....where it helps out the most) for each referral.  There's only one catch....They must go to http://www.directv.com/refer or call 1-800-507-4045 for this to work.

Right now, they have a deal where if you sign up as a new customer, you will receive a $100 gift card.

3.  Verizon Wireless - Verizon Wireless has an awesome refer-a-friend program.  Where other cell phone companies often take over 45 days to send you a gift card or just apply it to your bill like T-Mobile does, Verizon gives you a reusable gift card that can be reloaded by VZW for 1 year.  You can do this 5 times.

For each customer you refer to Verizon Wireless, you AND your friend get $25 on a gift card.  From experience, it comes about 4-5 days after your friend's 30 day trial period ends.  Talk about quick!

(ALSO, if you are expecting a rebate like, for the DROID, don't worry.  It will come VERY QUICKLY after you pay for your cell phone.  It took mine 2 weeks at the most and you CAN put it on your wireless bill.)

4.  Chase Bank - Chase is offering up to $125 when you refer 5 friends to open a Chase Checking account.

Here are the details:

Referring Customer:

“Limit five referrals per customer, per program period. The referring customer must have an existing Chase checking or savings account to be eligible. Cash bonus will be automatically deposited into your account within 10 business days of verification of referrals’ new account opening.”

Referred Customer:

“Existing Chase checking customers are not eligible to receive the referred customer offer. Consumer checking account must remain open for six months or the reward will be debited from the account at closing.”

Bank of America - Contact me.  They have one, but referrals must go to Pensacola, Florida since they have no bank in Alabama.  I have a form.  You must take it to a BofA location to get credit.


Click HERE for the link to the form:

AT&T (Home Phone, not cellular) - https://www.attreferrals.com/default.aspx

For every service, they have a tier on what you can earn.  For instance, you want new home phone service.  Your friend refers you to AT&T.  So you can get $50.  If he/she is a brand new customer, you will also get $25.  You can earn up to $599 just referring friends.
