Sfcommando14 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Can any of you TRU masters help a novice? I just joined in on the Ebay TRU frenzy. Is there a way to get TRU rewards points for Ebay TRU purchases? Thanks! Quote

dcdfan Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Nope. They are separate systems. I thought I read somewhere you could manually enter your TRU receipt in the rewards system. Never tried it though... Quote

You can try that but I'm pretty sure they only accept purchases made in store or on toysrus.com Would be happy to be wrong on this though Quote

Yes from packing slip in the box there are limits on number of times and must have packing slip in your box for order number 2 Quote
jonnyhanukkah Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I've done it twice with orders from jet.com just using the packing slip Quote
glostik Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 How are they sending these 20% off coupons? I never get anything in the mail from TRU even though I have rewards and the CC. 2 Quote

kris_1973 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks@pstebbing for the image. Hopefully I'll get one soon! Quote
LegoEdison Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I don't usually get it in the past but I got it today. 3 Quote
blarghiflargh Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I got that catalog but it did not have the coupon. Pretty annoyed. I never get those from their mailers. Quote
Poly 30286 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Regarding unique vs. generic coupons: Generic/reusable coupons have an item# above the barcode (6 digits?) that matches the end of the upc # Single use barcodes are very long, and there is no item # on the coupon. This should help determine whether or not to share your images. 3 Quote
dcdfan Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I got that catalog but it did not have the coupon. Pretty annoyed. I never get those from their mailers. I'm pretty sure my mail lady peels the coupon off half of the time... Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I would report that .. It is a lucrative underground business Quote

New LEGO catalog was the closest object I could find to hide my unique barcode. Oddly, my willingness to tear the corner does mirror my overall opinion of the new releases. I bet you could find a video of some disgruntled LEGO Star Wars fan actually assaulting the set. 1 Quote
jay4e Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Found some fresh clearance in store today. May be related to the ghost clearance at TRU.com and ebay. Store had 3 minty fresh SOHs (for RRP) and 3 minty fresh Council of Elrond ($20 clearance), that were not there last week. I think they are clearing out the warehouses. Quote
Phil B Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Are there any interesting promotions (i.e. GWP) happening at TRU over the next 3 weeks? I'm think about using my 20% off coupon on an Ecto-1, but with TRU's markup I need a bit more incentive than just the coupon (which would get the price down to $48 only). Of course I could look into buying something else at LEGO Shop at Home together with the ecto-1 to get a Fountain promo, but I have no current set needs .... Quote

Well, since I said that, maybe I'm not. Nice find though... Quote

When there's a S@H promo I like, I always have current set needs. Quote
