Honestly, I’ve never managed to stack points and a coupon in one go either—seems like wishful thinking most of the time. But I kind of get where they’re coming from. If they let us pile on every deal, they’d barely make anything, right? Still, it feels a bit stingy when you’ve spent ages racking up points just to find out you can’t use them with that 20% off oil filter sale. The only workaround I’ve found is waiting for those rare “double rewards” weekends—still not true stacking, but it’s better than nothing.
Yeah, it’s a pain. I’ve run into the same wall—thought I was being clever, stacking up points for months, then grabbed a coupon thinking I’d finally get a killer deal on brake pads. Nope. System shut me down at checkout, like I was trying to rob the place or something. I get that they need to make money, but at some point you just feel like you’re being nickel-and-dimed for being loyal.
Double rewards weekends are about as good as it gets, but even then, it’s not quite the jackpot you hope for. Still, I guess it’s better than nothing. I’ve learned to just use whatever gets me the most off in the moment instead of holding out for the perfect combo that never comes. It’s frustrating, but you’re definitely not alone in this mess.
