Those conventions were soooo much fun!!
Now I was couponing and refunding way before that, as my mom always used coupons. Back then they were 3 or 5 cent ones. Promo offers were inside your oatmeal or laundry detergent boxes ... LOL.

i went to th ose conventions. they sure were fun. miss that stuff. sitting and talking about all kinds of stuff. trading for complete deals that actually had qualifiers on them and were not booze. that is before alcohol became the force of refunding. wegot cash of little red or green checks in the mail that said pay to the bearer.

18 . "1989 A lady in the local snowmobile club introduced me to rebates and coupons. She was loading liquor bottles and empty beer cases into her car. I asked what she was doing with those."

I was asked if I were interested in joining a small local group
of rebaters for a monthly meeting to trade our goodies.
I was the lone man of the group.
Sadly members of the group have passed away and there are
only two of us left and I am the only one that coupons/refunds.

Anyone else here go on the Moneytalk Refund Cruises back
in the 90's???? Boy were they fun. I went on all 3.
Great memories.

I love feedback, please let me know how
your trading experience went with me,
Thank You
