Just look in a button book at the store, note the number, and say no thanks. Go home and register it.

Yes I will have them at pre-dig. I also carry them with me at all times, so if you happen to run into me somewhere feel free to ask.

You wont be able to miss me, as I wear my Tax Collector jacket all the time until Carnival is over.

Well off to Maplewood Mall to finish up some shopping....

Who knows how many buttons get registered each year? Now that the WC allows for online registration, I bet we could get a decent idea on the number...

about 4 years ago when I went dumster diving in the Landmark trash bin I found 2 full boxes FULL of registrations - there were thousands-I'll guess 3 thousand. ... before you go freaking out over my quest, just know that I found tons of buttons and tons of plaques that I've sold on EBay for lots of moolah and given away to friends and at gettogethers. I havn't seen them throw anything since then.

I did the same thing in back of a Snyders once. Except it was prescription drugs instead.

They haven't done it since either :eyeroll:

I just looked through the booklet for a coupon to Culvers......Nothing. :crying:

No..

Regardless, I bought mine at SA because I was able to get more speedy rewards points.

I just thought it was odd Culvers had them for sale.

speedy rewards!

woo woo!!

thats one of the only reason I buy stuff at SA.

I wish Holiday had something similar going on.... or M&H, for that matter.

Buy stuff at cub foods and use your recipt at holiday for $ off gas. Can use up to 3 coupons at once

l and a mommy

I've almost got enough points on my speedy rewards to get a free $25 gift certificate just for buying stuff I normally buy...I don't go out of my way to go to SA but I figure if I'm buying stuff there I might as well get the perks right? I never remember to save those Holiday Coupons I get at Cub I go to find them and they are missing or I leave them on the fridge or something the card I always have with me.

we mailed it, and registered online, just to be safe....

does one cancel the other out?

do you get in trouble, if you're double registered?

I was just reading the fine print on the registration card and it says, "Note to online registrants: You may register once for every button purchased. Be sure to hold on to this card until all prizes are awarded".

I'm just going to put mine in a mail box so its out of my hands.
