Once you have signed up for an account, you can start earning points immediately by clicking on the “Earn Points” tab and taking quizzes. You can then use your points to purchase high value coupons for groceries and/or discounts at online stores. After signing in, click on the “Get Rewards” tab and you’ll be able to start scrolling through the rewards they have available.

(Thanks, Jeanette!)

    Amazing! Got it!

  2. Jamie

    I’m trying to check out and it’s telling me “You may only order “$5 Gift Code” reward 1 time”
    I got this deal the last time it was offered.. I guess it didn’t reset? 🙁

    • Sarah

      Somewhere along the checkout process it says you can only order one per lifetime or something like that. Essentially, once you’ve ordered one that is it! 🙂

    • Lori

      It says one per member PER LIFETIME! 🙁

  3. cindy

    I think you can only get this one time. It’s not letting me get it again.

  4. Barb J

    i’m having the same problem. bummer.

  5. Sarah

    Awesome! Score some starbucks. 🙂 Already filling up,those Christmas stockings!

    • Bianca

      What did you purchase specifically? All I see are gift cards that don’t seem to have anything on them.

      • Sarah

        Search for Starbucks free drink coupons. Then I usually just look for the cheapest buy it now option. Choose a seller with good ratings though. HTH!

        • Bianca

          Thank you! I think I’ll use one as a stocking stuffer and one for myself 😀

  6. nicole

    Thanks collin got mine.

  7. cytocine

    ‘This reward is non-refundable. Limit 1 per member per lifetime. ‘ so will not work for those who took it last time

  8. Susanne

    Collin, thank you for posting this offer and just as an FYI, the Recylebank site has this listed as usually being 1500 points, not 500!! So it is an even sweeter deal than you realized!!

  9. schnauzminis

    it has to be used on a “green” item doesnt it?

    • tatiana

      no. i got this last time and i ordered a movie

    • Sarah

      Nope, purchased some Starbucks free coffee vouchers right now and it worked. 🙂

      • Erica

        Didnt know you could purchase free vouchers to Starbucks. Have you used vouchers like these in the past without a problem?

        • Sarah

          I have used them several times with no problems. We live in a small town with one starbucks so I don’t buy them very often though. 😛

          • Erica

            Thanks for the tip! I may have to buy some 😉

  10. Chelsea

    got it- thanks 😉

  11. Ashli

    where do you enter the code once you get it?

    • Sarah

      I bought something using buy it now which gives you the option of adding it to your cart. Then during checkout it givesmyou the opportunity toenter the code. Not sure how it works using auctions.

  12. Bianca

    I was going to ask- does anyone have any suggestions on things to purchase on Ebay? It’s been so long since I have used the site!

    • jenanne

      COUPONS!!!! lol!

      • Bianca

        I was just looking at those. Maybe some diaper coupons for my sister!

    • Lacey

      Early Christmas Shopping here. 🙂 Picked out a cheap DVD my baby sister will LOVE!

  13. Jessica f

    • Megan

      It appears the app isn’t working either

  14. jen

    and of course, the site doesnt even wanna work anymore.

  15. mary

      My email didn’t specify but this was printed at the bottom: For any additional questions about your order, please visit the FAQ on Recyclebank.com or call RecycleBank Customer Care at 1.888.727.2978.

  16. Ash

    Site is down 🙁

  17. Haseena

    Site has been down for me for the past 40 mins 🙁

  18. Jennifer

    Got mine about an hour ago. U have to link PayPal to ebay and enter your code during paying after winning/buying. I ordered some coupons that were sold out on the clipping sites I use for free and still have credit left over

    • SJ

      Hi Jennifer,
      Would you mind sharing with me what coupon clipping sites you use for free? My email address is me2uss@yahoo.com Do you get them in time to use on current week sales? Thank you.

  19. Megan

    Just got on the site and it says they are no longer available when added to my cart

  20. Melissa

    Wow, finally worked and not there anymore.

  21. Dana

    It says it’s normally 500 points or however many, but I’ve never even seen it on the website. Is it normally there, or is it just me?

    • Lacey

      I saw they’re normally 1500 points and not 500. Not sure if they’re still currently there at 1500 points or not.

  22. jenn

    I did this last time and you have to use it on a certain group of items in their “green” category. There was absolutely nothing in there that I wanted and NOTHING for only $5. I considered it a waste of my points.

    • Ashley

      I bought some hair color with it, so no usage restrictions for me.

    • jenn

      after reading all the comments on here I went to recyclebank and pulled up my coupon code and used it on ebay for coupons. I got this the last time it was available and couldn’t get it to work for anything except the “green” section. THANK YOU!!

  23. Kaini

    I cannot seem to find it, can you tell me if its still available?

    • Lynn

      It appears to be gone. I can’t find it either! 🙁

  24. pennycren

    They are gone. I called them this morning.

  25. shanshan

    MAN!!! How did I miss this again? I’m like checking out H2S a few times a day and somehow I managed missed this! Hope they’ll offer again soon so I can enjoy this “once in a life time” offer. 🙂
