First, I wondered if the Federal Government or some/all of the States put some kind of tax or tariff on wholesale or retail motor oil sales. It seems that many states do have a small tax that they put on each quart of oil sold (ex: TN is 2¢/quart, ME is 35¢/gallon, etc.). Other than that, my thoughts are that either motor oil is a low-profit-margin item or that since there is such a high demand for the item, they figure they don't have to discount it. One other thought. Perhaps the oil companies dictate to the retailers what sales they can have on their oil and when. This way, they can keep the price up and not have a price war with other oil companies. Sorry that it sounds like an anti-competitive conspiracy theory, but I can see it happening.

I was looking to buy some oil using these codes but apparently there are restrictions and oil is one of them. After I noticed that the discount wouldn't apply to oil I checked the wallyworld website and they sell te same grade Mobil1 for $12 less than Advance does anyway. That beats the 20% and the $10 of $30 coupon savings. These coupons are good, however, for those things that you can't buy at WW.

I think the only time I've been able to use a coupon on oil was with the ones I get from time to time in our Value-Pak coupon packet that comes in the mail. They tend to expire within a couple weeks but if I'm not mistaken they work on anything. That's the main thing I need right now is oil. My car is due for an oil & filter change. Oh well, even if I could take advantage of the deal I probably won't be able to get to the store due to Snowmagedden round 2. It's going to be all I can do to stay on the road and make it to work this morning! |

Thanks. Just bought a pair of Bosch wiper blades that were on sale this week ($5 0ff each) + A124 code ($10 of $30) = $22 for the pair. $43 for the pair regular price.
The RainX were under $30 for the pair, wasn't able to use the code. Plus the Bosch has better reviews. |

Discover has been having issues with AA for some reason. I placed a few orders in Dec/Jan for batteries, brake parts, etc, on 2 cards and none of the CB came through. A call to Discover fixed that quite easily - I just gave the CSR transaction dates - she looked up what the CB % was at the time (10%) and credited my CB account on the spot!
Personally I've always thought it was due to hoarding - I know if I could use these coupons on oil I'd be stocking up, especially on the pricey M1EP I use (normally like $8-$9/qt). Last edited by Dr. J; 02-26-2013 at 05:23 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
