Update 5/21/24: Multiple readers are reporting getting today emails from Amazon about the promotional credits coming through. The terms say it comes up to 30 days after shipment, and we’re now in that timeframe that the credits should start rolling in for everyone. Hoping for the best.
Original Post 4/21/24:
Amazon is running a deal to get a promotional credit when buying select Tide products. The credits are unusually large and often run close to the price of the actual product.
Assuming you shop frequently on Amazon and the credits will be easily used by their August 25th expiration, this is an excellent deal to get nearly free Tide. Use Subscribe & Save to get the prices down further.
Update: I just remembered about the P&G rebate which can get you another $5-$20 back. This can be a moneymaker – assuming you can deal with the rebate and the Amazon promotional credit. The Amazon credit will show up after the item ships.

You’ll see a message about the promotional credit showing up at checkout. It’s not entirely clear if we are limited to doing one of these or can do one of each. When you add two of these to your cart, the checkout screen is clear that you’ll get two promos. It’s worth noting that the fine print does state: “Offer limited to one per customer and account.” At the least, it seem likely that you can get one for each separate product or rebate amount. I think I’ll buy a few of these deals and then return them if something goes wrong with the promo credits. I’ll probably stick to doing one per credit amount, e.g. one $22.50 deal, one $14 deal, and one $8 deal. I’m optimistic to get all of those credits.
The P&G rebate comes back every few months. Even those who did it in prior rounds would be able to do this another time for this April-June offer. A reader gave us a tip for submitting Amazon purchases with P&G by using this converter tool from ASIN to UPC. That worked for me, and I’ve already received my rebate gift card a while back for the prior deal. Another tip – you need to submit the receipt image to P&G in PDF form.
Also stack with Shop With Points deals to increase the moneymaker.
