Default I love WAGS!

Ok, so I'm revising this to read... combined 4 trips for an EXPECTED $22.36 profit at WAGS tonight! Actual Profit is $6.36 with an additional $16.00 expected from UPromise. Hope it works since reading that some people didn't get the credit. Hope the breakdown isn't confusing and that I got all the numbers right. I really didn't plan this out...just went into the stores to see what I could find.

I admire you on the hard work you did in compiling,typing and calculating all the above. I know it must have taken a lot of time for each.

This stamp thing is the main source of your expected gain.Can you elaborate on all. And Upromise .. how? Any successes so far?

Did they take RR for the photo stamps.And how does it work? I just bought a 6months supply of stamps from the post office.

The stamps come with a code and instructions on how to order them online. If you already have a Upromise account you log into Upromise and type "photostamps" in the search bar. The result comes up and you just click "shop now". Once you're on the photostamps website click "create photostamps" and just follow the tutorial. At one point it will ask you to enter a coupon/promotional code. Just enter the code from the box. Very easy...I've done it several times...hth!

I'm confused about your trimaminic deal. First, where did you get your $4 off coupon, I can't find mine?? And second, you said you got 2, but you also got (2) $5 rewards. My ad says buy 2 for $10 and get a $5 reward, so how did you get (2) rewards? Was your ad different?

There is a WAGs coupon for $2/1 which automatically deducts for all qualifying items. Since the OP got two it took off $4.

This post is regards to the extra $5 RR printing with this deal, Triaminic MM at WAGS

Looks like a great trip. I hope to get some of these goodies later on this week.
What are photostamps?

I wish I could find those Photostamps. I have tried 3 Wags with no luck.

Photostamps are located behind the photo counter (in the stores around here). You buy the box and it has a code where you go online and upload the picture of your choice and then they send you 20 custom stamps with your pic on them. I did one last night and the total was $22.00 before I put my code in. After the code it was $0. I paid 4.99 at the store so with the Upromise reward of $8, I got a $22.00 value for a 3.00 Profit (not counting the value of stamps).

One more thing, even though it says 42 cents on the box at the store, when you order online it will give 44 cent stamps. I have several boxes but I'm only redeeming 1 at a time in case the price of stamps go up.

The photostamps are really cool. But I had a problem with the Upromise credits. I ordered 2 sets thru the Upromise site and entered the code on the package. The totals came to $0 for the 20 stamps. My Upromise account was credited $8 x 2 for each order and then a week later $8 x 2 was deducted from my account.
I emailed Upromise customer service and they told me that if you use a coupon code or gift certificate they don't award the Upromise cash back.
Still, it was fun & cheaper than buying the stamps at the p.o. And they make great gifts.
