Well, I’ve been looking through our receipts lately and I’ve noticed several sweepstakes companies are offering if you fill out a survey from your previous experience. To many people, including DH, they think it’s a waste of time. But then again, if everyone thought it was a waste of time, except you, then that makes you the obvious winner right? Okay, fine, it is unlikely that no one will do it, but, the less people who participate, the greater your chances are of winning. So there, who knows, I might be the next winner of a $5000 shopping spree from Target, ha!
Aside from survey sweepstakes, I’ve also noticed another trend happening with stores. They’ve been giving discount coupon codes for your next purchase if you fill out the online survey. DH was kind enough to do the Gap survey and JC Penney survey for me. Unfortunately, the 20% Gap coupon code was only good for regularly priced items, boo! But with the JC Penney, I was able to use the 15% off towards my whole purchase. Today I saved $8 something dollars using the coupon, yay!
One final thing I’ve noticed lately, is the last Del Taco receipt attached to our take out bag. It said that if you fill out the survey, you can get a free burrito! That would have been nice if I didn’t throw away the bag right away (forgetting that the receipt was attached on it). Hmmmph! This teaches me to pay better attention more next time, before I start throwing things out.
If you have any receipt saving stories, please feel free to share!
