More training needs to be done with Home Depot accepting AARP Home Depot gift cards in person. April 1 I was in #6617 Glendora, CA store and when I gave cashier in Garden Department a printed copy of my Home Depot AARP $5 gift card I had just printed a few hours before, the cashier tried to scan the code but that wouldn't work. Then she said she could NOT enter the number code and pin on the print-out because "Management said we can't enter the numbers" (this made no sense to me). I proceeded to tell her I had been in THAT store in the past to use AARP Home Depot gift card with no problem. Then I had to wait about 10 minutes for her to call management to ask if she could type the numbers in while people piled up behind me. After all that she said the manager said it was ok THIS TIME. There needs to be CONSISTENCY in training. The cashiers need to be TRAINED in how to redeem an AARP Home Depot gift card. Otherwise, what is the point of Home Depot offering them through AARP when it is ju

With the high cost of utilities, I save by installing a shut-off valve on my showerhead. I get wet and use the valve to pause the water while I soap up, then turn it on again to rinse. Repeating this action between shampooing, conditioning etc. You can save a LOT of the cost of water and the cost of hot water heater energy use. I have been doing this for years and it really adds up. No more wasted water.

best quality for the buck in grocery shopping is if one combines unit-pricing with comparing ingredients with the most expensive/name brand.

Just an fyi with the Saks cards offered here.  While Chapter 11 is a reorganization, and companies can emerge fine out of it, I’d be very careful with getting gift cards for Saks.  Saks Global just filed for Chapter 11.  Might not affect gift cards right now, but just a heads up, as you never know in the near future how this will be handled.  I don’t shop at Saks, but just saw the gift cards here, and wanted to alert people just in case 

     As I’m looking at the Term of the Bed Bath and Beyond gift card being offered here for points now, I’m remembering that I thought they only had a website now. So the terms made sense. Since the physical stores closed and bankruptcy reorganization.      The terms say this card offered can only be used on website.  I thought I had heard some states had physical stores starting to appear. ?  Just curious, if anyone had  been able to use it in there, since the terms say online only.

If I entered multiple different gift card sweepstakes all in different days in November 2025, when will the winners be posted. As far as I can tell, by searching through the website, I don't see anything about the gift card sweepstakes winners for the month of November. Its as if you have to dig, just to find out who the winners are. Frustrated
