if you're a student or teacher the NYTimes is offering you a subscription for a dollar a week.

I just went through the process & was approved despite the fact i'm attending a continuing ed department. Here's the link

Forum Housekeeping:

Adding "Random Deals/Sales" to the title to help clarify the thread's main topic and purpose.

Hopefully, more people will post a deal or flash sale of the day that they come across.

OK people I was waiting on Black Friday to upgrade my phone. Costco just leaked their BF Ad. In it they are advertising the Samsung S10 for $429.99 with the stipulation of 'requires activation on device payment'

now a lot of time you need to activate a new line for these deals which is why I was holding off cause the savings is eaten by having to have a new line of service that costs $20 a month and you need to keep that line for $24 months. However this just says device activation and not device activation on a new line or new line required, or anything similar to that. So do you think I am interpreting it correctly that the phone is $429.99 and there is a one time fee for them to activate the phone or do you think it will require a new line?

Given that this is Black Friday I am thinking just the one time activation fee

$630 was about what i paid for the s9note last BF for a verizon platform [member=1222]mllNY[/member]

the only requirement was that i sign up for the monthly no interest payments for the device but i could pay it off at any time. i think it worked out to be >$25/m
that might be what they're trying to say
Title: Re: Random Deals/Sales (The Buying Season is Beginning...)
Post by: mllNY on November 01, 2019, 09:57:14 AM
I think so too, otherwise it really makes no sense cause the phone base price is $899. So $430 plus the new line for 24 months ($20*24) would be $480 which is $900 which is no savings at all so I have to take it as $430 plus whatever the activation fee is (usually about $20 to $30) which is still a good savings on a $900 phone.

Just gotta wait for what Verizon is going to do as well to see which is better

The only thing that interested me was the self emptying robotic vacuum.  I already have Roombas but not having to empty the bin each time is very appealing.  The price is only about $60 lower than Costco.  I'm not sure it's worth it considering the Costco warranty.

If you don't want your DNA sold, make sure to turn that off.  The default for consent is on.  I didn't know that 23andme sold DNA until years later and then I turned it off.  Which is like closing the barn door after the horse has already run off.  My DNA is out there floating about in untold databases.

It's time for the annual tradition to cancel the account made with last year's $1.99 promo and make a new account with this year's $1.99 promo. This year they offer to let you keep the $1.99 price with no end date when you go to cancel but that's not reflected on the billing page. It says the next payment will be the full price even after you accept. There's a glitch somewhere. Whether that's on the billing page or on the retention offer.

It says it's good for returning customers.  A returning customer is different from an existing customer.  A returning customer is an account that as been unsubscribed for 3 months or longer.  The ad explicitly says existing accounts on the $1.99 plan from last year are not eligible.

I've had probably 5 Hulu accounts since the service started. Black Friday 2018 I used one account to get the 99 cent deal. 2019 I cancelled that account and used a different account to get the 1.99 deal. And this year I was able to use the same 2018 account (the one I cancelled in Nov 2019) to get 1.99. In fact they sent me an email for it specifically. I simply logged into that inactive account, hit resubscribe, and listed the 3 plan options, including the $1.99 option. It's weird that it wouldn't let you do the same.... but you can probably just sign up for another account using another email address (and probably another credit card, but I'm not sure).

I did just pick up a Ring 3 for $99 at amazon. To get that price you'll need to order it through Alexa. Being away from my alexa device I was able to order it through the alexa app on my phone.

got it & am playing with it now
at first blush, it is a lot less cluttered then my old iwatch gen 1, much easier to operate.
the wyze app needs to be running to enable the message forwarding. the app is a usage hog.
nice watch face & it has the date
the step, timer, O2, HR, and alarm do not need the phone app. They are all easy to use on the watch.

Yeah, but I can just wait until all episodes are available and get a free 7 day trial instead (since there isn't anything else on it I want to watch).

$9/month is way too much for a service like AMC+. I wonder if they will follow the lead of Paramount+, Hulu, and HBO Max and drop the price

That's pretty much how we do it. We get a service for a month or 2 at a time, binge everything we want to see, and then move onto the next service. That way you're only paying for (and using) one service at a time.

That's what I do.  I get it for a month and then binge everything I want to see.  In between 1 or 2 shows I find there's not much I want to see on each service.  Now that Cap and the Winter Soldier is done, I haven't watched anything on Disney+.  There was months I didn't touch it after the Mandalorian.  I prepaid for 3 years though.  The only streaming service I keep going all the time is Hulu.  That's because it's free so why not?

Since the demand for PPE is down so much, I've been taking advantage of the glut to restock my supplies.  Many things are much cheaper than even before covid.  Case in point, Office Depot is selling 17 oz pumps of hand sanitizer for 10 cents right now.  Which is about 1/20th of the precovid price.  Stock up now for the next con to keep confluenza at bay.

Smart thinking, I actually mailed hand sanitizer out to friends who couldn’t get it at the start of the pandemic. Hand sanitizer has always been on the wish list for deployment packages, so I had a good amount and was glad I did.
The kind my job supplied us with honestly smelled like cheap tequila.

This 10 cent stuff smells like cooking food to me.  It smells like I walked into a kitchen.

I've always had a supply of PPE on hand.  I didn't quite run out of N95 masks even though I gave away half my supply to the ER a year ago at the height of the PPE shortage.  The rest I reused many more times than was probably wise.  But even a saturated N95 is better than a cloth mask.

Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like this offer is good for one year. I have not been following anything on Apple TV, is there anything upcoming that I should wait on, or should I just watch the current content for the next 4 months?
I'm not really looking to pay for another subscription service, just looking for new things to watch.

Since I've been burned a few times by waiting, it's that "while supplies last" clause.  I redeem as fast as possible.  Even with a code in hand, I've found that the offer can end at any time.

Best Buy has a 6 month trial offer for Apple Music.  Doesn't hurt to get that too.

Gamestop is offering 10,000 bonus points when you sign up for or renew Game Pro for a year.  I did it in store and they told me that I would get the points within 24 hours.  10,000 bonus points is worth $10.  In addition you get a $5 off coupon with your receipt.  So the $14.95 annual fee is paid for right away.  They will also send you a $5 coupon monthly for the remainder of the year.

Kind of.  If you try to cancel your Hulu account they may offer you 6 months at $2.99.  I'm in the same boat.  The yearly $1.99 is ending in about a week.  I'm going to hold out a few more days to see if they offer another one this year.  If not, I'll take the $2.99 for 6 months if they offer it at cancellation again.

AMC+ is offering subs at $1.99/month if you choose the annual plan. My current AMC+ sub (through Amazon) expires 12/2 so I will probably sign up this week and have a bit of overlap. It's their "Black Friday" deal but doesn't say when the offer expires.

If anyone is unfamiliar, it includes BBC America content and Shudder, it's not just AMC.

Oh, I knew that. In fact I don't think you can get the deal if you DO go through Amazon. What I meant was that I currently subscribe to AMC+ through Amazon, but my current billing cycle goes until 12/2. If I want the deal I have to sign up before 12/2 through AMC+ and I'll have 2 AMC+ subs for a few days.

Antigen tests are not super reliable, at least if it comes up negative.  Studies have shown that one can test negative but 1) still have COVID and 2) still be transmissible before testing negative.
That being said, these are _NOT BAD_ at all, just not necessarily 100% reliable either.  I guess what I'm saying is, if you use one of these and think you may have been exposed to COVID, don't take that as a sign you can run around w/out a mask and kiss random strangers

Nothing is 100% reliable, not even PCR.  PCR and LFT serve different purposes.  A PCR test can be positive even after someone has recovered.  Some people have positive PCR tests long after they get better.  LFT are good at determining if someone is infectious.  That's why the test comes in a 2 pack.  It's not two separate tests to be used in two unique occasions.  They are 2 tests that are supposed to be used for the same occasion.  Use the 1st and then wait about 3 days and use the 2nd.  After being infected, someone may not be infectious right away.  That's why there's the 3 day wait for the 2nd test.  And that's also why someone who tests negative on a LFT may test positive with PCR.  It's because they aren't infectious enough for the LFT test to be positive.  Overall, an antigen test is about 80% reliable.  That 3 day wait was also for covid pre-omicron.  With omicron, people seem to become infectious much faster.  That's also why some people that require a negative test for entry are saying it has to be within 1 day instead of the 3 days it's been up to now.

Post by: Transmute Jun on December 22, 2021, 09:09:05 AM
There is a reason the home tests come with 2 in a box. You're supposed to take the test, and then test again 2-3 days later. Having BOTH tests return a false negative (i.e. show negative when you're actually positive) is a much lower risk.

I was able to add the code to an existing NON-active account today
this tells me the code is good and it's not dependent on a new membership

I have no idea when the coupon invalidates

The codes do work on existing accounts.  But as you noted, it has to be non-active.  They do not work to extend out an existing trial.  I think one code in the past did do that, but it appears it was an outlier.  So if someone used the peaksale code earlier, that trial is still ongoing and thus this code will not work.  They would have to wait for that trial to end or use it on a new account.

Not all Walmart stores have implemented the end of the agreement to sell Binaxnow at cost.  So some stores are still selling it for $14 instead of $20.  You don't need to go to a store to see if you can buy it for $14.  That's useless anyways since they won't even have it.  But if you select a store that sells it for $14 as your home store, you can order it shipped to your home for the same price.  Walmart.com restocks Binaxnow throughout the day.  I found it in stock last night but before I could checkout it went out of stock.  I checked again this morning and I was able to buy 1.

I've done this before years ago. After about a year or so, the unused memberships get credited back to the account. We can get the reduced rate maybe once. It's not worth the hassle.

I"m OTA and don't get abc, cbs, or the cw. CBS is the only one i miss, add to the mix, they have ST....
Its one of the very few streaming services I pay for.

I'm so glad Picard is back.  IMO, that's "real" Star Trek.  Discovery isn't that for me.  Don't get me wrong, I watch every episode of Discovery.  It just has a different feel.

I also liked Prodigy.  I didn't watch it when it first came out but binged it near the end.  It's kind of an epilogue to Voyager.

I"m OTA and don't get abc, cbs, or the cw.

Try one of the flat antennas in a novel orientation.  I'm so far away from the towers that we had never been able to get much reception.  I tried 100 mile unidirectional antennas and even a 60's style big antenna on a pole with a rotator.  NBC and PBS were the only channels we could get.  I decided to give one of those flat fractal antennas a try.  At first it didn't do any better.  Then I noticed when I laid it down in between trying to mount it upright in the windows that it got great reception.  Positioned 2 feet off the floor at a 45 deg rotation I get every channel in San Diego.

Even though we get CW OTA, I never watch it since all the shows stream for free.

It does way better then the flat powered outdoor antenna i use to have.
I grab my signal close to the base of a hill. So obstructions are an issue ;)

I might give this a try if a) i can return it and b) i have the time to muck around with it ;)

I have yet to pay a dime for Paramount+.  I still haven't had to use the free credit CBS gave us to watch Picard.  Ever since it was CBS All Access, they have had a free 30 day trial pretty much all the time.  They allow for back to back trials.  "NACHOS" should work right now.
Title: Re: Random Deals/Sales
Post by: Transmute Jun on July 12, 2022, 12:53:35 PM
I refuse to pay for Paramount+/CBS All Access on principle. Star Trek should be available on air and NOT only in a paid subscription. They put Discovery on CBS All Access to force ST fans to pay, and I will not contribute to their greedy mindset. I’ll watch live to give them ad revenue on regular television, or watch on a channel that is part of regular cable service, but paying for another streaming service is too much.
