How To Transfer Walmart Savings Catcher Money To BlueBird To Double It: Step-By-Step Instructions.

November 25, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 3 Comments

UPDATE: Everything changed on February 28th and now nothing in this post is valid. Now there is a NEW way to transfer funds but it won’t double anymore. Everything you need to know is at How to Transfer Savings Catcher Bucks to Bluebird.

A few weeks ago, I told you how you could double your Walmart Savings Catcher money using the American Express BlueBird Get 2x Program but at the time, I hadn’t actually transferred any money to my account myself. All that changed this morning so now I want to walk you through the quick and easy process.

If you aren’t sure what Savings Catcher is, here is an overview of what it can do and here are 3 reasons why you should be using it.

1. Get a BlueBird card

You can do this one of two ways. You can go to Walmart and pick up a FREE BlueBird temporary card. They are usually on big spinners near the front of the store. The advantage of this is you get a temporary card that you can begin using immediately.

The other way is just to go directly to the registration page and sign up. At the top where it asks “Did you purchase a temporary card at Walmart?”, just answer No and they will send you a BlueBird card in 7-10 days

2. Activate Your Card

If you bought a temporary card, you will need to register it here. If you sent for one online, you will need to wait for the card to come in the mail to activate it.

3. Transfer your Savings Catcher Money over

You can do this from your Walamrt app or your computer.

From the app, click on Savings Catcher on the home screen. Then click on Get Money in the bottom right hand corner. Scroll down to see the option to transfer to your BlueBird account. You will need to log in to your BlueBird account on confirm the transfer and the transferred ammount will be doubled.

From the computer, go to Savingscatcher.Walmart.com and log in. Follow the directions on the page to transfer the money to your BlueBird account

4. Go shopping!

It’s pretty much that easy, the whole process took me less than 10 minutes. Here’s proof of what I did.

2 Things to keep in mind is that they will ask for your Social Security Number when signing up for BlueBird and the transferred money can only be spent at Walmart.

Double Your Walmart Savings Catcher Money With the Get 2X Program From BlueBird!

October 3, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 22 Comments

UPDATE: This program has stopped. You can transfer your Savings Catcher money over to BlueBird but it will not double. I apologize if you got here through a Social Media post, they have a life of their own now and I can’t stop them from being reposted everywhere. If you want to save money though, check out my list of FREEbies available at Walmart, or the $1.00 and Under list, or the list of apps you can use to save money at Walmart. Sorry about the confusion!

At this point, I think we all know that Walmart Savings Catcher is awesome. (Don’t know what it is? Read all kinds of stuff about it here.) I’ve got about $28 sitting in my account and was all set to just be happy with that but now I am so excited about DOUBLING my money!

Here’s how the “Get 2X” Program works.

How Get 2X works:

– Log in to Walmart Savings Catcher and enter the Walmart receipt barcode number and if there’s a lower price advertised, Walmart will refund the difference in the form of Reward Dollars.

– To double the Reward Dollar amount, select “Redeem to Bluebird” in the Savings Dashboard.

– Existing Bluebird customers who choose to redeem to Bluebird will automatically receive double the Reward Dollars into their account to spend exclusively in Walmart stores or at Walmart.com. Customers who do not already have a Bluebird account will be prompted to register for a FREE Bluebird Card in a few easy steps.

– Savings Catcher customers can use their Bluebird Cards to spend Reward Dollars exclusively at Walmart or Walmart.com. Reward Dollars will be applied automatically at checkout. Any remaining purchase amount after applying will be deducted from their Available Balance. For more information, please visit Bluebird.com/SavingsCatcher.

BlueBird is a prepaid credit card that is easy to use. That’s no money to start, no monthly fees, no overdraft fees, and no minimum balance. If you’ve been using Savings Catcher, you should definitely get a BlueBird card next time you are at Walmart and double your money!

Ask a Walmart Expert: How Many Stores Will Walmart Savings Catcher Ad Match?

August 18, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

How many stores will Walmart Savings Catcher compare your receipt to? A TON!

UPDATE: As of February 14th, Savings Catcher will no longer catch deals from drug stores or on produce or bakery items. You can read more here.

I uploaded my receipt to Savings Catcher tonight and saw a new feature that absolutely blew my mind. Once you scan your receipt with the Walmart app, Walmart Savings Catcher tells you how many stores it is going to compare.

It told me it was Ad Matching and incredible 134 stores in my area! Not only that, it also started showing me the actual stores it was looking at and it was all over the map. There were stores from as far away as about 40 miles included on the list!

Not only that, I was astonished at the stores on the list. The stores you would expect were there like all the grocery stores, dollar stores, and pharmacies but there were also stores I totally didn’t expect like Best Buy and Radio Shack.

That means that Walmart Savings Catcher will match a huge array of stores from all over your area and will even catch things like electronics and more. Long story short, make sure you are loading EVERY SINGLE WALMART RECEIPT you get into Savings Catcher because you have no idea what it will catch!

CONFIRMED: Walmart Savings Catcher Will Be Available Nationwide THIS MONDAY With New Improvements To Save You More!

July 30, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

We can now confirm some EXCITING changes to the Walmart Savings Catcher program that is gonna save you a TON of money!

Walmart Savings Catcher is AWESOME!

First a recap for the uninitiated. Walmart Savings Catcher is a program where you enter your Walmart receipt into the Savings Catcher website and it compares what you bought against the local ads in your area and refunds you the difference. It’s an amazing program but has been in beta until now and only available in 6 select markets. You can see the first time we discussed it here and an interview we did with the launch team here.

Walmart Savings Catcher is Soon NATIONWIDE!

While there have been rumors that it would soon be available nationwide, no one could nail down an exact date that it would actually be available everywhere. Well we can wonder no longer because the team heading up the Savings Catcher program has just confirmed to me that most of the nation has access to it now and will be available absolutely everywhere starting August 4th.

Walmart Savings Catcher is Ad Matching FRESH PRODUCE!

And as exciting as that is, it wasn’t the coolest thing in the email they sent me. Here’s what I think is probably the absolute biggest deal imaginable. Once August 4th get’s here, Walmart will automatically ad match produce through the Savings Catcher program. That is a BIG deal.

Walmart Savings Catcher is Ad Matching GENERAL MERCHANDISE!

It doesn’t even stop there because they are also going to ad match select general merchandise as well. I’m not sure exactly what that means and what exactly will be matched but it’s just another way that Walmart is gong to save you money. UPDATE: Walmart has gotten back to me and said that the general merchandise catagories that are currently included are outdoor living consumables (e.g. fertilizer, bug spray) and stationery (pens, markers, crayons). So if you weren’t paying attention, that means your school supplies are getting automatically matched.

Walmart Savings Catcher is Integrated Into the WALMART APP!

The other thing you need to remember is that it is integrated into the Walmart smartphone app so you no longer have to type in a long string of numbers to enter your receipt. Just zap it, select the date and you are done. (You can see a walkthrough here)

Walmart Savings Catcher is AWESOME! (Did I Say That Already?)

Those of us that were fortunate enough to live in one of the Beta areas can tell you that Savings Catcher is an absolute game changer. It is easy to use and I’ve already accumulated about $10 in rebates that I will probably use around Christmas time.

I want to hear your stories! Did you use Savings Catcher? How did it work for you? How much did you save? Tell me in the comments!

Walmart Savings Catcher Soon to be Available Nationwide!

June 4, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

I’ve posted several times about Walmart Savings Catcher. (You can read the initial post here and read the interview I did with the launch team here and this update)

Unfortunately as awesome as this program was, it was only available in a few select markets but that is all about to change. That’s right, Walmart has just announced plans to move forward with the Savings Catcher program nationwide!

That means that soon the entire country can use the Savings Catcher program to ensure you are getting the best deals on your groceries no matter where you live!

If you aren’t familiar with the program, you just go to the Savings Catcher site and log in to your Walmart account. Then you type in the receipt number and date from your last purchase at Walmart and it looks at all the local ads in your city and automatically gives you the difference if anyone has something on sale for cheaper than what Walmart sold it to you for. I’ve been using it for a while now and have already racked up over $5 in savings.

Walmart Savings Catcher Update

March 11, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 4 Comments

I’ve posted several times about Walmart Savings Catcher. (You can read the initial post here and read the interview I did with the launch team here) I thought you guys would like to see the savings that Savings Catcher caught for me.

In the picture above you can see that I have uploaded 3 receipts so far but I have only gotten the results of 2 so far. Here’s the breakdown of the receipt from this shopping trip.

I know these pics are a little hard to read but here’s basically what it says. Of everything I bought on this receipt I had 3 items that were cheaper somewhere else so they gave me $2.40 as a “Savings Catcher Credit”. It should also be noted that not only did they give me the difference but the also refunded me the extra amount I paid in tax. It was only $.08 but that is a pretty cool little nugget.

They also showed my the items that I saved on by buying them at Walmart. The 3 items listed above are all Cesar dog food. Dollar General had them on sale for $.75 each but they were $.70 at Walmart so I saved $.05 per can by buying them at Walmart.

In just 2 receipts I have already accumulated $2.40 in cashback savings that I can use on my next purchase or I can let this figure accumulate until the end of the year, at which time Walmart will just send whatever I have accumulated to my email whether I request it or not. Anyone thinking this would be an awesome “Christmas Club”? Just let these savings ride until the end of the year and have some bank saved up for a few presents!

Price Matching Game Changer: Walmart Savings Catcher!

March 8, 2014 by Aarn Farmer 14 Comments

UPDATE: I got to interview the Walmart Savings Catcher Launch Team and got my first Walmart Savings Catcher Rebate

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Walmart has a new Savings Catcher program that looks like it will save you BIG on every shopping trip.

Once you buy your groceries at Walmart, head over to The Walmart Savings Catcher page and type in the receipt info requested. Walmart will automatically compare your receipt to your local ads (in select areas) and give you any difference between the Walmart price and a local competitor’s price in an eGiftcard.

You can accumulate your savings for a year or use it immediately. Once you decide to redeem your eGiftCard, you will get an email with a barcode. Print it out and hand it to your cashier. It’s that easy!

I’m going to write a little more about this on Tuesday but for now, let me just say how awesome this is. The 2 complaints I get most often is that it is tough to see all the ads to know what to price match and sometimes the cashiers can be a little difficult to deal with when price matching. This looks like it eliminates both those concerns.

I am headed back up to Walmart now to see for myself how it works. Check back on Tuesday morning for a Walmart Shopping Secrets post outlining what I found out after I used it.

For now, read the FAQ’s and here is a list of the available markets.

Atlanta, GA– Aldi, Food Depot, CVS, Food Lion, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Ingles, Kroger, Publix, Rite-Aid, Kmart, Target, Walgreens, IGA, Wayfield Foods and Piggly Wiggly.
Charlotte, NC– Aldi, Bi-Lo, CVS, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Ingles, Kmart, Lowes (Food), Target, Rite-Aid, Publix and Walgreens.
