I thought the Speed Stick BOGO free coupons would take $3.99 off my bill at CVS again this week. They did automatically scan for that amount, but the cashier reduced them down to $1.99 each, so that is why I owed over $5.00 at CVS. Normally I try to "roll" my drug store rewards over from one week to the next and just pay tax.

Papa Rewards equal Free Pizza at Papa John's!

We almost never eat out without a coupon, but we occasionally make an exception for Papa John's because we love their pizza.  Earlier this year I registered for Papa Rewards when I heard they had a contest to win a free pizza.  A few months later I found an email saying that I had won and didn't have to cook dinner that night!

                                             

Here are the details of the Papa Rewards program:

Earn 1 point for every $5 you spend, including tax and delivery, on every purchase at papajohns.com.

Receive bonus or double points for advertised specials throughout the year.

Redeem your rewards points for a free large up to three topping pizza when you have accumulated 25 points. When you are ready to order your free pizza, login and enter 25PAPA in the promo code field and enjoy.

I just logged into my account and found that we have 25 points. Yay - another night I don't have to cook!!!

And now, for the Superbowl news:

A majority – 60 percent – of the millions of fans enrolled in Papa Rewards predicted that Super Bowl XLVI's opening coin toss will land on "heads."

If they're right, they will receive a free large one-topping pizza and 2-liter Pepsi MAX.

Customers enrolled in the loyalty program had the opportunity to make a guess for the past 10 days at PapaJohns.com.

Those who aren't enrolled have time to do so until 6 p.m. Eastern time Feb. 5 for the chance to win.
