Pick Your Own November PowerPerks
nov_powerperks

Mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and — of course — TURKEY!

Yes, it is almost November, and for some this means prepping the holiday food and gift shopping list. Others might be actively decorating their homes for all the upcoming events. This month, we are leaving the PowerPerks selection up to you so you can make the best choices to accompany your holiday agenda.

Vote on your favorite categories and stores and we will make sure November’s 5% PowerPerks are the three most popular categories and retailers. The holidays are all about giving thanks and giving back, so vote, and let us say thank you with 5% cash back on your favorite holiday-appropriate stores.

Choose from:

Dry Cleaners

Get decked out in your finest clothing for all of your holiday activities. To ensure you are ready to bust out your favorite duds, we are offering 5% cash back at all dry cleaners.

Local Bakeries

The favorite dessert in my house is chocolate pudding pie. (YUM!) My mom usually makes three for each major holiday! But, if the last thing on your mind is making dessert, vote for this category and you will be able to earn 5% Cash Back at your local bakery. Unfortunately, this won’t include the bakeries found inside grocery stores, but if you have a stand-alone bakery you like, vote for this one. Now that’s an excuse to stock up on an assortment of delicious treats!

Penzeys Spices©

My family always does Thanksgiving together. It usually involves a 20-pound turkey, a bag of potatoes and an assortment of side dishes. As you plan your holiday menus, don’t forget the spices. One of our customers actually recommended we include this one in voting this month on Facebook. Good idea! Keep your recipe a secret but tell everyone about the 5% cash back you received for cooking this year!

Yankee Candle Company®

Complement the delicious-smelling, well-spiced food you’ll be serving your friends and family with the scents of Fall by ordering a Yankee Candle or two. These things make your home about as cozy as it can be when the weather turns cold. Truly, a great addition to any floral centerpiece, coffee table, or kitchen counter.

Teavana®

There is talk of snow in New England this week and while we are not quite ready for the shoveling, nothing soothes the winter cold like a hot cup of tea. Check out Teavana® for a variety of flavors.

Netflix®

As the weather shifts, nothing is better than curling up on the couch with a good movie. Whether you are enjoying the classics or the newest releases, we think you’ll give 5% cash back at Netflix five stars.

Movie Theaters

If you prefer to leave home to catch a flick, enjoy a night out at your local movie theater and get 5% cash back to see your favorite actor or actress on the big screen.

Cast your votes between now and midnight (Eastern Time) on Friday, October 28 for your favorite PowerPerks! The 3 most popular at the end of the election will be included in the November PowerPerks that all our customers are eligible to earn bonus rewards with. It’s all about giving you, our customers, a louder voice in selecting these special rewards.

    I didn’t see Teavana listed in the radio buttons – but that’s definitely my #1 vote!

    Sorry Lil! Vote away. It’s been added (and no, we didn’t have to restart the poll).

    I was hoping for some retail stores so I get save on Christmas shopping.  But Bakeries and Movies are cool too.

  • Stacy

    Lots of good movies coming out in November so I’m hoping it’s in the top 3!

  • Joel Brown

    wait how do you get perks with netflix? i currently have it, so if I pay with my perkstreet account I get points? BUT you pay once a month? I am so confused.

    Hey Joel. If you put your PerkStreet card number into your Netflix account, you can earn cash back on all your monthly Netflix payments. If Netflix wins the vote, then everyone’s Netflix payments during November will earn 5% cash back. You’re right in pointing out that it’s tough to take advantage of this one to earn a bunch of 5% cash back, but we added it because we figured it would be a good way to make sure a bunch of people get 5% cash back next month. Vote away!
