Calling all cookie lovers! This National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day (Sunday, August 4), DoubleTree by Hilton is giving away free cookies to everyone – guests and non-guests alike. Just stop by any of their U.S. hotels to grab your complimentary cookie, either the original or the allergy-friendly version. Normally only Hilton Honors guests get this treat when they check-in for a stay.
DoubleTree’s chocolate chip cookie is a symbol of their warm hospitality, and they’ve been delighting guests with it since 1986. Over 20 million of these delicious cookies are enjoyed worldwide every year, and now you have a chance to try one for free. If you like freebie cookies you will also love these other treats this week from local restaurants.
And if you can’t make it to a DoubleTree hotel, don’t worry. You can still enjoy their famous cookies at home by using their official recipe.
So mark your calendars for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and get ready to experience DoubleTree’s signature warm welcome!
If you dine or pick up food at McAlister’s, Cinnabon, or Schlotzsky’s you can get an easy 10% off instantly in the app or when you check out at the counter. These fast-food restaurant chains are offering this as part of many AARP discount s. There are several other restaurants that offer AARP discounts but these stick out because they are ones you may pick up food from more often or are most likely to use. We also found it was really easy to link the accounts to the AARP number and you just press the discount button to apply it each time instead of having to print out a coupon or beg the person at the counter to get the ten percent savings.
You can get this offer by signing up for AARP membership which you can get at any age. I actually made money from signing up for my membership because I paid with a Chase Credit card that had it with $6 back with Chase Offers plus I clicked a link with TopCashBack (you can also use Swagbucks or Rakuten network) for an additional $12 back. The membership link for AARP I clicked on said it was only $12 to sign up the first year so I basically made $6 back from signing up even though I paid $12 on the credit card.
McAlister’s Deli Rewards member will receive 10% off future orders just for linking your AARP membership to your McAlister’s Rewards account. This also applies to Cinnamon rolls or anything you order at Cinnabon locations.
As a Schlotzsky’s Rewards member you can also easily link your AARP membership you get 10% off your future Schlotzsky’s orders!
At Schlotzsky’s you also get a birthday bonus and free chips and a drink along with the 10% off each day! Plus the BOGO Pizza!
To use this offer online, you must be logged into Schlotzsky’s Rewards.
Click “Log In”, then search for locations in your area.
At your chosen location, select “Offers”
Then select “Apply” on the chosen offer.
It’s as simple as that to save on the foods and sweets you crave the most. If you haven’t read about the BOGO pizza day make sure to get this promo that will stack with this 10% off at Schlotzsky’s. They have really tasty pizza better than Domino’s or many other pizza chains if you ask us. We make it a date night each week for the buy one, get one free pizza.
Amazon announced their 10th Prime Day coming on July 16th and 17th. Deals will begin at 12:01 am PDT on the 16th and continue throughout the 16th and 17th.
. Not only should you be able to snag a ton of deals during this 48 hour event, typically, there are many ways to stack your savings. In past years, this included using your Amazon credit card, earning Amazon credits and applying just a single credit card point — I am sure we will see these opportunities start to pop up over the next few weeks.
Additionally, Amazon has already announced some pre-saving Prime Deals which you can jump on now and not have to wait until July.
What is Amazon Prime Day Amazon Prime Day is a yearly two-day event where you’ll see different daily or flash discounts on many popular items. Many offers continuously pop up and while some deals will last all day, many will quickly sell out.
To take advantage of many of the discounts you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member. If you don’t have a Prime Membership, you can sign up for a free trial which will give you 30 days of free prime access. After the free trial expires, you’ll be charged $139 for the year or $14.99 per month — you’re choice (or you can cancel before the free trial expires).
Early access Amazon Prime Day Amazon is starting Prime Day early with early access to many of their own Amazon devices. This is similar to what we’ve seen in the past and typically the pricing stays the same. However, if pricing by chance drops, you can always re-purchase at the lower price and return your previous purchase within the return window (typically 30 days).
You can shop all of the Amazon device deals here, but some of the better ones include:
If you’re looking to signup for Prime to get in on Prime Day, here are some options (let us know if anything is missing):
Get free Amazon Prime trial for 30 days. Interestingly, readers let us know that Amazon will sometimes let you get the free trial even if you previously had a trial at one point on the same account. You can also try adding a large item to cart and going to checkout, see if they pop up with another free Prime trial offer for you.
A yearly subscription costs $139. Instead of using our links (found in this post), we recommend going through a shopping portal to get a bonus when you signup. Swagbucks is offering a $15 Amazon gift card. Topcashback is offering the same.

Can RedBull Replace Panera Bread’s Sip Club Charged Lemonade?
Panera’s caffeinated Charged Lemonades contain significantly more caffeine than standard energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster.
A large (30 oz) Panera Charged Lemonade contains approximately 300 milligrams of caffeine.
A can of Red Bull (8.4 oz) contains 80 milligrams of caffeine.
A can of Monster (16 oz) contains 160 milligrams of caffeine.
Important Considerations:
Caffeine Sensitivity: Panera’s Charged Lemonades contain a large amount of caffeine, which may not be suitable for everyone. Consider your caffeine tolerance before consuming these beverages.
Health Concerns: High caffeine intake has been associated with various health issues, including increased heart rate, anxiety, and insomnia. Consume caffeinated beverages in moderation.
Labeling: Panera faced criticism for not clearly labeling the caffeine content in their Charged Lemonades. Always read labels carefully to be aware of the caffeine content in any drink.
Where to Buy Energy Drinks for the Lowest Price:
Warehouse Clubs: Stores like Costco and Sam’s Club often sell energy drinks in bulk at lower prices per can.
Grocery Stores: Look for sales and coupons on energy drinks at your local grocery store.
Gas Stations: While convenient, gas stations tend to have higher prices on energy drinks.
Online Retailers: Websites like Amazon may offer competitive prices on energy drinks, especially when purchased in bulk.
Remember to always compare prices and consider the caffeine content and your personal preferences when choosing energy drinks and use the best credit card to maximize your cash back!
