I recently registered a MyTimeRewards card to use at my local BreakTime convenience store. It's one of those cards where you earn points with every purchase towards free stuff. I often purchase 32oz beverages there but little else. So the first time I swiped it said I qualified for a free drink. Sweet! I thought it was probably because it was my first purchase after registering. Then it happened the 2nd time, and just today the 3rd time. I think there is a glitch that is giving me free drinks every swipe. I haven't purchased anything else in between. Should I --
1) Say nothing. Free drinks forever. Just take a second and think about that. It's basically like having a fairy that just gives you $1.29 whenever you are thirsty. Wow, pretty cool.
2) Speak up. Correct the glitch. Pay for your drinks, but drink them with a clear conscience as a man of integrity.

It's getting you addicted, take it to the schemes thread
-
The swipe you're talking about is one you're making so that - aside from this "glitch" - you'd be getting points for purchasing a drink?

You already know what to do. DEEP DOWN

Yeah.

think the correct thing to do is order something bigger, like a bag of jerky, and see if you can get that for free also

You may end up getting free hotdogs out of this deal

I'd say something.

If you're talking about drinking 32 oz of soda on the reg, you should probably cut back anyway. Even the diet stuff is probably bad for you.

And for all moral quandaries, I just go back to Kant's categorical imperative, which is a super fancy way of saying, "would you want to live in a world where everyone else did the same thing under similar circumstances?"

Yeah.
I'm not yet convinced there's any glitch. I signed up for a similar card at the gas station where I moved. The deal was the first time I used the card, I'd get a bonus $10 of reward credit. So I've bought a drink, and now have $10 of credit to use on more drinks, which seems like a bad deal for them. Maybe you're in a similar situation.
If it's grating at you, log in to the account for the card online and see what it says.

I, for one, would like to live in a world where I know _33 is getting free drinks.

there is no such thing as a free drink, _33

Flip a coin, if it lands on a you don't like, you know it was the other choice.

Me too. I think that settles it.

you need to stick it to the man every single chance that you’re given the opportunity to
do they feel bad for charging you $1.30 for a soft drink that costs them 15 cents? nope, they will bend you over and smile right to your rough ridin' face while they’re doing it. every single chance that they’re given to.

I would try tomorrow to get something else free

Go for a drink/ho’ do’/bag-o-chips combo and see what happens. Everybody knows the ho’ do’ is where they make their primo cash

Almost never soda aka pop. Usually unsweetened iced tea. Sometimes I fill it up like 2/3 with iced tea then add 1/3 lemonade. Sometimes I get the raspberry unsweetened iced tea. NEVER sweet tea. Sweet tea is disgusting. Sometimes if I'm feeling really thirsty I'll get the SoBe LifeWater from the fountain. It's pretty refreshing. And then rarely, when feeling a little crazy, I'll get a Sierra Mist.
Thanks for the advice everyone. Going after work. I'll report back on the status of my MORAL DILEMMA.

I would call the police.

Well done. People in the south go nuts for this abomination.

they must've caught onto _33s scheme I bet he's in jail now..

Went to buy a 32oz Raspberry Iced Tea and Sunbelt Sweet & Salty granola bar this afternoon. Full price. Not free and no discount. At first I was disappointed, but that quickly turned to relief. It's over. But what a ride.
-
man, how fast was your heart pounding when you went up to the cashier? for those of us that haven't experienced that, what would you most compare that rush to?
-
This thread does NOT disappoint.
-
On a new streak of 4 freebies in a row. :horrorsurprise:
-
WE'RE BACK IN IT!
-
5 in a row. Something interesting about the last 3: I have purchased a Sunbelt® Bakery Sweet & Salty® Chewy Granola Bar with my drink and ONLY the 32 oz drink was free. Paid 53 cents for granola bar. Interesting to say the least.

Let it ride!

Do you have a good poker face? :dubious: (ftp://:dubious:) If you don't you might want to think about the fact that they have a camera on you.. If you're like this every time you get a freebie --> :drool: :Woot: :eek: :Woot: :drool: (ftp://:drool: :Woot: :eek: :Woot: :drool:) you're busted pal. They review the camera often....I know because I have a friend that went to KU that works at those places and that's what he does. Please be careful.

I don't yell and dance or anything but I do smile and I think a couple times I've said "Oh cool" or something similar. Do you think that will present a problem? Thanks for the tip and I will be careful.
-
i'm no expert but i don't think you want to nonchalantly say "oh cool" ev-er-y single time.

Pretty sure Ted Bundy did the EXACT same thing before he got caught. :ohno: (ftp://:ohno:) Something to think about. :buh-bye: (ftp://:buh-bye:)

I said, 'pretty sure' bud. And what an incredibly odd podcast to listen to? What will you be listening to next? :jerk: (ftp://:jerk:) I'm trying to help people here because that's what I do. Put that on your podcast list and smoke it. :shakesfist: (ftp://:shakesfist:)
