Get Free Slurpees
[ranking: 14]
Redditor TrashBoater:
"At 7/11 ATMS a few years ago you'd get a free slurpee with a receipt from a withdrawal, using the wrong pin voids the transaction but still gave a receipt with the free slurpee coupon.
They caught on after a month or two."
Encounter A Game Glitch And Win Every Time
[ranking: 13]
Redditor corgandane:
"When I was a kid in the '80s we had a baseball game on Atari. My dad's always been the competitive type, not assh*le-ish about it, but did love to rub it in when he won. He beat me at the game almost every time when we played. Anyway, one day while playing against the computer, I found a glitch where if I was batting, if I just held the stick down on the controller as I swung, I'd hit a home run every time. The ball could go completely past the bat on the screen, but inevitably the ball would connect and go over the fence. I started doing that regularly when I'd play against dad, always sure not to do it every time, so it'd seem natural. He was dumbfounded when I started winning. I even got cocky and started letting him play against me with a regular team, while he used an all star team. I kept it up for about six months, reveling in my stolen glory, then finally told him about it. We had a good laugh, and he still talks about it to this day, 25 years later. Those six months were glorious, though. I couldn't lose!"
Find A Coupon For Free Turkey
[ranking: 22]
Redditor Chic-O-Stick:
"When I was in HS I worked at a supermarket that gave you a free ham/turkey if you rack up enough points. A guy comes to my register. Gets his free turkey. Idk what to do with his coupon. I give it back to him. He comes the next day. Same coupon. Free different turkey. He got five free turkeys. He gave me the nod on the final three like we were in this together. I just didn't care. I was the loophole."
Get Paid To Study Instead Of Work
[ranking: 24]
Redditor walkingcarpet23:
"Not quite sure if it counts but I definitely exploited it.
I'm paid hourly by billing those hours to various projects. I also get to charge non-billable time to my company, which obviously the company is not making a profit on, so they want me to minimize that and justify it.
Higher billable hours = more pay for me, more pay for them. Win-win.
They have a lot of communication issues and sometimes I'm left with only ~20 billable hours a week. That went on for almost a year and my pay suffered a ton. I'm talking sending multiple emails a day everyday asking for more work without anyone even replying to me.
As a result my raise was that I was to be allowed to take online courses that will further my knowledge in my field, and they'll pay my hourly rate (non billable obviously, so they take a loss) while I do so.
The IDEA was that I'd have ~35 billable hours a week and 5ish hours of online classes. During those times of terrible communication, rather than go the extra mile and pester people for work every 10 min I just decided to take classes.
I think I put in over 100 hours last October. When they noticed it hurting their profits they were furious at me for not asking for work. In response I forwarded them a chain of ~12 straight unanswered emails I'd sent them asking for work. Now I have no issues and they listen when I ask for more."
Cancel Your Adobe Subscription Free Of Charge
[ranking: 6]
Redditor vyndaloo:
"You can't just cancel your yearly subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. They charge you a cancellation fee, which makes around 50% of the remaining payments. However, you can change your subscription to a new one, which you can then cancel absolutely for free within 30 days. Eat it, Adobe."
Get Free Snacks
[ranking: 8]
Redditor Bipolar_Broccoli:
"A vending machine at my school, for whatever reason, didn't like my card. When I'd buy multiple snacks at the same time, it only charged me for the first snack I bought and the rest were free. I even checked my bank account, and that verified it was true. If I bought a $0.99 snack for the first one, then $10 for the rest of the transaction, only $0.99 would be charged. I was never charged after the first. Soooooo that lead me to buy free snacks for all of my friends for the whole year. They never caught on, but I graduated."
