When we were using a pay-by-use laundry room in my apartment complex, one of the machines would run if you pressed a series of buttons in a specific order. We saved so much money for two years!!

    Man smiling and pointing at a whiteboard while explaining a glitch in the system during a casual lesson. Live in a rural town. No degree, but I'm excellent at math. I got a job teaching GED math classes which requires a degree, it was supposed to be temporary and I was supposed to give my boss a refresher on math so they could eventually let me go. My boss knows I have a daughter to support by myself as a dad and have really turned my life around and my boss already knows how to do math. Boss still always tells her supervisor she just can't get the hang of alegebra so I can keep my job. My boss is cool.

    When I was younger degrees weren’t always a requirement. There are many people that know their stuff or perhaps more importantly can learn it without a degree. I know someone that has been doing IT for a large company that has a that has an English degree and another without a degree. Now some degrees are important as they are part of licensing like being an MD or an Engineer but there are some careers that what you learn in school won’t have much to do with what you will be doing on the job and therefore a persons ability to adapt and learn on the job is more important than a degree.

    All very true (I worked in IT, Stats and Pharmaceutical development for decades without a degree) but a Maths teacher is one of those areas where you really would expect a degree to be required, even back when I was at school.

My college saw it on my transcript, thought it was AP, and checked it off of my degree requirements. My graduate school saw it on my undergrad transcript and checked it off on my requirements. I haven't taken a math class since I was 17 and I'm not saying a word.

    Cashier using touchscreen register at grocery store checkout, illustrating a glitch in the system being exploited. Not current, but a good story.

    Three years ago I worked at a grocery store as a cashier and they had a system where every dollar spent was put towards a point system to give you discounts on their gas. You also got discounts on specific items with the card.

    They tracked our employee cards, so we couldnt cop some free fuel points. But my mom's old phone number was still linked to an account, so whenever a customer didnt have an account (which was free) I would just type in my mom's old # and say it was the store code to give them discounts. I paid next to nothing for gas while I worked there and never got caught.

    Even better. My boss was a contractor. He'd buy home Depot gift cards when the store was running 20 percent off gift cards sales. Of course he used his phone number and bought thousands of dollars worth of gift cards. Then he'd buy stuff at home Depot that was on sale and basically be getting 40 percent off plus all the gas points which he gave the number to all the employees because there were so many points he couldn't use them all!

    More importantly, it makes the entire web experience far better. I've got no issues with ads per se, but far too many websites make the ads interfere with the content you want. It's annoying enough when they're in the middle of the content, but far worse when the ads aren't static and only load when the page loads. I'm pretty sure that constantly pushing new ads is what makes BP so flaky.

    Young woman with headphones and tablet smiling, representing people who found a glitch in the system and exploited it My great student card heist. I live in South Australia, so YMMV elsewhere. Basically, the cost to apply for a uni degree here is about $60. So you apply for a degree, enrol in topics, get your "full time student" ID card, then unenrol in all your topics. If you unenrol before the census date (which is usually a month or so after uni starts), you don't get charged for the course - but they don't ask for your student card back!

    That means that you get to claim all the sweet sweet student discounts, the best of which being on public transport. If, like me, you get public transport twice a day, five days a week, it costs you almost $40. Having a student card halves the cost. So you basically make up for the $60 you paid to apply for uni in 3 weeks of catching the train.

    Actual courses typically require tuition, often based on the number of credit hours. A 3 credit course at the local state college would cost me $885. I would find it a bit easier to broaden my knowledge by taking a structured course, but I feel that my knowledge is already broad enough that there's extremely little reason to spend that much money.

    Young man enjoying pizza at home, capturing a moment of a glitch in the system food hack with friends. This was like 7 or 8 years ago when a lot of towns in the UK didn't have Dominoes Pizza, before Papa Johns was a thing here and you were lucky if there was a Pizza Hut delivery. Most people only had access to pizza from little, dirty kebab shops and like their kebabs, the pizzas were best eaten when drunk.

    Well a Dominoes opened up in my hometown not long after I finished university and moved back home. Because it was so expensive compared to the cheap, albeit bad, pizza you could already buy, they did loads of really good coupon and online deals.

    They had this one code, PIZFIFTY, that was 50% of £50. A large pizza with two sides was about £25 anyway, so you could basically get twice the amount of food. It made it feel like you weren't getting totally ripped off.

    That code didn't stay on the menus for long though, and it was replaced with various other codes that would change every month. The thing is though, the PIZFIFTY code still worked online. And it stayed active until this year. I was a little heartbroken when I entered it and got an invalid code error.

    Standard size ice cream, was 1.30, while "big ice cream", double the standard size, was 3.30.

    The "standard" was really small, so everybody bought the "big" one. But I did the math, so I'd ask for two standard ones, receive an extra waffle, and save 0.70.

    I was 11. As I watched the line of adults all buying "big ice cream", I realised that not all adults were smart. Nobody repeated my trick.

    People are so conditioned to the idea that the unit cost is usually cheaper when you buy a larger size that they usually don't do the math. I suspect that some sellers deliberately make the unit cost of the larger sizes more expensive to take advantage of that.

    There's a pizza place here that has a good deal on for medium, 2 topping pizzas. I order online, so I do half and half with my daughter. We can both get our own 2 toppings on each side, that's 4 toppings in total.

    Unless the pepp-only has three times as much pepp as the pepp-plus, it’s a massive rip-off. One topping should be cheaper than three.

    Not exactly on point, but a cool story. When I was in seminary at age 40, (thirty years ago) my young son wanted a digital camera for Christmas, something that at the time was beyond our budget. One day, we received an order for our planned Christmas purchases from a national department store, and in the package was a digital camera clearly marked on the invoice along with the items we had ordered. We phoned the store and asked for instructions on how to return it, certain someone was missing their gift. The customer service reps all insisted it couldn't be returned because they didn't sell digital cameras!! As I was an ethics specialist (in HR corporate) before becoming a chaplain, I felt like this was an important hill do die on, so after calling three times--certain someone was mistaken--I wrote a letter to the CEO. (To be candid, I imagined this would make a great sermon illustration down the road somewhere, and I wanted to be on the right side of the story when I told it.) LOL!

    Part 2: The CEO, also interested in ethics, wrote me back a warm letter saying he would BUY my son a camera just for hearing our story--except, he assured me--his company had NEVER stocked cameras and so he couldn't accept it as a return, and then wished my young son and us a Merry Christmas! It was such an unbelievable gesture from God. I know most of you will scoff, we chalked it up to God being generous. However you believe it happened, it's a story we love to this day.

    They're far less common than they used to be, but some businesses still have good customer service. A store band product obvious came from that company, and stores typically honor purchases from other stores. If it's not a store brand the barcode will sometimes identify it as the store's product. Other times an employee will simply look at the receipt just to confirm the purchase.

    So with McDonalds you know how you can get a stamp card and a sticker on every cup? When you fill out the stamp card you get a free drink.

    Well whenever he goes to pick up someone's recycling sometimes a person left there mcdonalds drink cup in there. And the sticker is still on it. So he takes the sticker and puts it on his stamp card.

    Lets say he has over 50+ stamp cards for a free drink by doing this. And counting. He is exploiting that one that is for sure. Free coffee for life.

    Man in a black suit checking watch with a confused expression, representing a glitch in the system moment. A while back they got new keypads at my job that wouldn't let you punch in if you showed up late for work. It would just say, "too late, see a manager" and then you'd have to go through the awkward process of telling your manager, having them follow you up the stairs, and they had to sign a late slip for you. One day I figured out that if I put a nine at the end of my four digit key (because it doesn't overwrite the last key) I could punch in late without being penalized. Naturally I exploited this loophole whenever I was too late for work. Eventually they caught on to what I was doing and had a manager talk to me and tell me that if I showed up late three more times (three strikes) I'd be fired.

    I think the only reason they didn't fire me then and there was because they didn't want to admit there was a loop-hole in the system.

Wal-Mart will match any price of their competitors...so I usually get a tremendous deal on sodas...$2.50 per 12 pack...because if you just show them the deal on a newspaper they will honor it, doesn't matter if the deal is from the friggin 4th of July. They never check the date. This can work on other items as well, I've just found the biggest savings to be on 12-packs.

    I went to Walmart for the first time in a few years. I ended up leaving my stuff at self-check out and walking out. The staff there were just watching me as I left. The self-checkouts are archaic. Don't accept cash, but those are the only "express" tills. All the other lanes were either closed or had long lines of people with cartloads. But that wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back. Their online ordering is a nightmare when it comes time to pick up your order. You instinctively go to customer service. CS tells you they don't have your order. They redirect you to "drive around the other side of the big store to the online order pick up area". I don't drive. I walk to the online order pick up area. I get told they can't give me my order because I'm not in a vehicle. I go back to CS. With some back and forth, showing proof of my order with much hassle, entering codes, calling their customer service number, they finally waltzed to their warehouse and I got my order. never again.

    20% off games while paying 30 bucks in this economy means you buy 5 games in 2 years and get the price back, so if you're buying more than 5 games its amazing, if its less than that though you aren't really getting anyhing back. I guess its great for gifting if you have friends that want certain games. the only thing that would make it absolutely amazing is if you were buying consoles.

    Iced coffee beverage in a clear Starbucks cup with green straw on a wooden table showcasing a glitch in the system. I use the Starbucks mobile ordering system to order a grande drink, but then select the option to have it put in a venti cup. 4/5 times I get a full venti drink.

    Edit: grande: medium. Venti: large. Yea, I hate using those words too. They offer that option so you can have room to add sugar or cream. And yea, I know it's not a full venti drink, but it's always more than a grande. My cousin is a barista and she says they don't really care if they give more on iced coffee or hot coffee because yea, it's still $5 for .50 coffee. Anyway, it's the little things that make my day.

That means you can make a decent income online while living in a place with a cheaper cost of living, thus multiplying your standard of living, often to a level exceeding your home country.

    I am due to graduate from university soon. When my student card expired recently, I changed my graduation date to December 2022 before getting an updated card. Hello, 6 more years of cheap movie tickets/public transport concessions.

    Edit:

    The guy who issued the card and took my photo was pretty skeptical of the date I had entered haha.

    When I told him I was in a very long dual degree, he smirked and said he was "happy with that explanation". I think he was just doing me a solid by turning a blind eye #topbloke

    Technically, I *am* enrolled in a degree that takes 5.5-6 years... I just skipped the part where I'm 6 years into it hehe 😇.

    Teen boy smiling in a classroom holding a backpack strap, representing a glitch in the system moment. Two school glitches I used to "exploit" (if by "exploit" you really mean "use because they handed it to you."):

    In middle school I quit going to a class and started to help out/hang out with a teacher I got along with way better than the teacher I was supposed to be with. They still gave me an A on the next report card. For the class I hadn't even been in for weeks. They gave me another A on all subsequent report cards. For the class I literally was never part of again. To this day I have no clue how that happened, but I was sure glad it did.

    In high school, my school had 2 lunch hours, and allowed students to program their schedules each year. Thanks to their not requiring a full compliment of credits to graduate, a particularly motivated student could complete their high school in 3 years, or have any specific free hour each of their 4 years if they wanted. Guess who got first lunch *and* second lunch? This hobbit, that's who. Only did that one year, and man was my guidance counselor not pleased at my figuring it out. Kinda mad I didn't figure that out for each year, but oh well. I heard they added a third lunch hour the year after I graduated.

    Not currently, but a year ago when I was in college:

    The meal plan, in addition to letting you into the cafeterias a certain number of times per week, included something called "dining dollars" which are just regular dollars except you can only use them at college-approved restaurants or fast food chains on campus. The meal plan comes with a fixed number of dining dollars per semester ($200 or $300 or something depending on your plan) but you can add extra if you want to go to the college restaurants more. They have a promotion where if you spend $20 or more of real money on dining dollars, you get 10% extra, so for example if you pay $100, you'd get $110 to spend on food. The college actually earns a profit on this because items at their convenience stores are marked up by more than 10% of market value, so it increases their revenue by more than the cost of giving out that 10% bonus.

    Except I broke this system.

    I was the treasurer of a club, and noticed in some obscure bylaw that if you filled out some form at the student affairs office, it would authorize your organization to hold fundraisers where people can spend their dining dollars on your club's merchandise, such as soccer team t-shirts or a bake sale or whatever. Usually when you have a fundraiser, you want people _outside_ of your club to buy your stuff, because otherwise it'd just be like charging ridiculous club dues. But I figured out we could charge $10 per cookie, have all the club members buy 20 cookies (from ourselves) using dining dollars, take the $6000 check out of the club account, then re-distribute the money to everyone so that they could buy more dining dollars. BUT you get 10% extra each time you repeat this, so basically it was like being given $600 for free by the dining services department for doing absolutely nothing productive.

    Also we got to eat a lot of cookies.

    Many stores will honor competitor's prices or coupons because they still make profit and want the business. The deals will be different, of course, but if accepting a Kroger card keeps you from leaving Food Lion and going to Kroger it makes sense for Food Lion. Of course many people will tell you that Food Lion and Kroger are some of the worst companies in the grocery business.

    Person using a touchscreen cash register and holding a receipt, illustrating a glitch in the system in a retail environment. I never actually did this, and I'm told it doesn't work any more, but I saw people do it.

    Years ago, at a certain major university, the administration decided to put all your services on one card: everything from the library to photocopiers, to exams to food services: a fine idea.

    There was just one tiny problem...

    The code somehow presumed that everyone would, at some point, put a balance on the card. They did not account for the possibility of someone showing up in certain places with a zero balance.

    One set of such places involved anywhere that served university-issue food.

    In short, as long as you kept a zero balance on your card, you ate for free.

    You'd get rung in at the cash, and present your card; it would scan but *not* show the cashier the balance (because of privacy regulations); it would only say 'OK' or 'not OK'. If you had a balance that was not sufficient, or negative (e.g. in the case of library fines) it would compare X to Y and it wouldn't go through; if your balance was zero, it went through every time, so somebody didn't set up that binary properly.

    This went on for YEARS. In certain faculties and departments -- and it's easy to imagine which ones -- it was legendary. It got to the point, I'm told, that they were actually holding meetings and disciplining people who used it too much because they were so concerned about keeping it going.

    AFAIK, it only ended because the university tore out all of their old cafeterias and put new ones in -- presumably because the old ones were losing staggering amounts of money -- complete with a new payment system that did not apparently have this issue.

    I found out towards the end of my time there, but I didn't feel too upset because I lived off-campus and only ate within the university inside my college, which was on a different system and had way, WAY better food. Someone literally said, "How would you like a free lunch?", showed me his 0.00 balance on a nearby machine, and then bought me lunch.


    Now that I'm more involved in and aware of university operations, I'm actually kind of pissed about this -- like all free lunches, it wasn't -- but it remains, undeniably, a first-class hack.

    (Personally, my own view is that student nutrition is a huge problem, and we should be giving food away to students, but the legal problems surrounding that are truly prohibitive.)

    **TL;DR: students at a major university who kept a null balance on their student cards had an all-you-can-eat buffet on tap.**.

    Person exploiting a glitch in the system by writing calculations on graph paper with a blue pen. In most states, children/teens have to take a series of specific standardized tests to determine the effectiveness of the school and progress of the student themselves. These aren't the APs, SAT, ACT, or TOEFLs. These are state administered and in my state when we had to take it, people found out a "glitch" so to speak.


    So the way the test works was that the questions got harder the more you got right. Also it was not timed so you could pause the test. **However**, whenever you paused and then came back you got a different question. This question may have been easier for you to do if you were the student.

    So basically, a room of 30 or maybe more students would get a question they would get stumped on. Then pause the test and resume seconds after to receive another question that they knew how to do. Of course, you could do this as many times as you wanted to during the test. It was L I V I D! !


    I scored 99% better in the whole state because of this. . . **NOTE** the new question would be in the same difficulty "set" as the one you couldn't do. The new question you got just might have been faster to do or easier to comprehend. So it was kind of a half **glitch** and you still had to be a little smart. (#_#( woo^oo^o



    TL:DR> Glitch on test allows you to switch out a hard question for something you could easily comprehend or do faster. I did 99% better than the rest of the students in the test in whole state.

    Order tickets online, pay the extra convenience fee. Then go to the registers and tell them you left your credit card at home and you wish to pay in cash. The cashier will cancel your order but keep your seats so tou can pay regular price but still have designated seats.

    If you bring food in plastic bag (like a burger you just bought in the bag they gave you) they ushers will tell you to put it aside for safekeeping, but if you put it in your own bag (like the one you take to school. Sorry I don't know all the words in english I think it's the same word) they can't tell you to open it

    If you feel extra sneaky and have lots of spare time you can watch a movie and hide in the bathroom for 20 minutes until the next showing is starting, then just go to a different room to watch another movie for free.

    There's a grace period, as the youth accounts are typically for students, not necessarily for those under 18. Banks know some 18 year olds are still finishing school, so they keep the fees free. But if you're 19 and still going to school you can tell the bank and they may waiver the fees for another year. That's what our bank did for my daughter. They actually held off fees until she was about 20 or 21, as she was thinking about going to college but that didn't go through. She had to change her bank account from a youth to a regular account. They just didn't charge her fees for a while.

    I hypothesized that that wall outlet was probably wired to my neighbors place by accident by the electrician or on purpose for some reason. i tested this by plugging a power strip into it, running it inside and plugging everything i could into it and sure enough the electric bill was low as heck.

    the neighbor drives a Mercedes so i dont feel bad about it.

    It's a good way to set fire to your place as well...

    An outside outlet might have been tied to the building itself and the landlord's power bill.

    "the neighbor drives a Mercedes so i dont feel bad about it." I suppose that is one way to justify the fact you are a thief.

    How much current do you have to draw before the circuit breaker tips? And if the neighbour is not at home to reset it ...

    I read recently that a single circuit in the US would be 13A. At their puny 110v that's not even enough to run a normal European electric kettle.

    Jamba juice give members of their club a free small smoothie during their birthday month. They recently redid the app for mobile ordering so you could use discounts and stuff. In the app you can use the free small smoothie to get a large smoothie. I use ten minute mail and a random phone number to make a new account whenever I want a smoothie.

    In my library system, you can only get pre-due notifications on items if you have e-mail notifications set up. You can get only an e-mail, or an e-mail and a text, but you *must* have e-mail selected or else they won't come.

    Except in my account.

    I'm enjoying my text-based notifications without spammy e-mails, and while I dutifully reported the bug I certainly haven't pressed to have it fixed.

    I also briefly enjoyed a period when HR's emergency closure alert system decided that it wasn't going to call me on the phone at 6 in the morning even if I wasn't scheduled to come in for that shift, opting to text me instead. This wasn't how it was supposed to work, everybody was supposed to get a call and then some people would get additional texts. I think the library just really likes to text me, and I'm sure not complaining!

    When I was in university we had a machine that gave you a little slip for the windshield to show you paid to park there so i used excel to make duplicates and put them in my windshield every morning without having to pay the $8/day to park. I got caught though after about 6 months when the machine was broken one day but i still had a slip on my dash.

    I don't know how I did it, but I went 3 years without getting fined for not having health insurance.

    Why would you get fined for not having health insurance?

    The US made health insurance mandatory during the Obama administration. If young people don't buy insurance on the theory that it will be cheaper to pay out of pocket the people who do buy insurance will cost the insurance companies more money. That results in higher premiums. Basically, the idea is that paying the insurance premiums while you're young will mean lower premiums when you're older.

    The Republicans repealed the fine for not having health insurance to $0 as of 2019.

    This is probably the same in other cities but if you get a parking ticket from a private company you don't have to pay it.
    I've been getting parking tickets for years in this privately owned parking lot and I just throw them out.

    Where I live there's no such thing as a ticket issued by a privately owned parking lot. They just call a towing company.

    Probably usually true for parking lots. If the city government has franchised out street parking to a private company, the contract may provide for legal enforcement of tickets.

    I've been getting free movie tickets for a while now. Fandango has an app that you can buy your tickets on and it becomes a QR code thingy and the person at the booth just scans it and you go in. If you screenshot it and show the picture the QR code doesn't work but if your local theater has a nervous teenager working the booth and a long line of customers, they're not gonna make a big deal and just assume the computer is being weird and let you in. When you get inside the theater, pull out your phone and return the tickets through the app, it will let you because it sees that its QR code was never scanned. I've bought movie tickets for my friends a bunch of times, and then they pay me back for spotting them. So free tickets and profit.

    Honestly, public assistance programs are where it's at. Even if you are housed & have employment, there are things you are entitled to as a citizen that the government still does pay for (despite what our current administration implies) & they help out so much. You don't have to struggle as much as you think you do. There's stuff out there that can help you reduce the pressure!

    And not to save money. But to give them to those who don't remotely need them.

    Please don't use these programs unless you absolutely have to. If you do decide to use a program, look into the pros and cons.

    Multiple members of family are police officers. When they say "Do you know why I pulled you over?" I say, "I was speeding, I know better, my -------- is a an officer"

    85% of the time the response is "Slow it down and have a good day"

    I know it's bad but those tickets are expensive.

    I have a family member who's now a retired police officer. It has some perks, but just randomly blasting that you're related to a police officer doesn't always result in a welcomed response. He got pretty upset with me at work when I chatted up another officer and I said my dad was one on their force, then he called up my dad so I could talk to him. It was very awkward. I got told by police all the time that I look "familiar" to them, so I got questioned a bit. Not every police officer knows the kids of other police officers.

    And when the cop says "Maybe I know him. What's his name?", make sure your face and voice are in full control when you reply. And you better have that answer right away.
