Swagbucks Pays for Your Holidays! (win $2500!)

November 19, 2011 by 6 Comments

I have been able to pay for a large portion of my Christmas gifts for the past two years using Amazon gift cards that I earned from Swagbucks.  Right now, they are having a Swagbucks Pays for Your Holidays promotion and one winner will get $2500 in Amazon gift cards!  I can think of a LOT of things I would get with that!

If you’re not familiar with Swagbucks, it’s a search engine where you earn “Swagbucks” for searching online, which can then be exchanged for prizes.  You can also earn Swagbucks by watching videos and completing special offers.  In addition to helping to pay for Christmas gifts, I’ve been able to get a number of household items such as batteries, toilet paper, diapers, razors, and laundry detergent for FREE using Amazon gift cards!

If you’re not signed up with Swagbucks yet, you’ll get 110 bonus Swagbucks right now when you sign up here and enter the code SBPAYSFORME–>Swagbucks registration

Once you’re registered (or if you’re already registered), here’s how you can enter to win $2500:

  • Complete your Wishlist (1 Entry) – Wishlist can be found here.
  • Share your Wishlist on either Facebook or Twitter using our Share buttons (1 entry per day you share). These shares act as a special referral link.
  • Have a new user register for Swagbucks through your Wishlist share (1 entry)
  • Have that user complete and share their own Wishlist (4 additional entries)

In addition to the grand prize, they’ll also be giving away prizes every week day on their Facebook wall, Twitter account, and on their Blog.

NOTE:  The SBPAYSFORME bonus code will be valid through Wednesday, 11/23 at 9 am PDT.

GOOD LUCK!

Get a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate for just $3!

November 19, 2011 by 1 Comment

 

Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 300 x 250

Restaurant.com has a HOT promotion right now:  you can save 70% on Restaurant.com gift certificates, which means that a $25 gift card to some locations will only be $3!  This promotion is valid through 11/20/11.

Here’s how you can take advantage of this great offer:

1.  Visit Restaurant.com here

2.  Enter your zip code to search for restaurants by location.  Choose a certificate and click on the green “Add to Cart” button.  You can also get a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate for us at a later date for as low as $2 after the discount!

3.  When you add items to your cart, make sure you enter the promotional code “TRAVEL” in the yellow discount code box at the top of the page.  Complete the check-out process.

DISCLAIMER:  Make sure you read the fine print on the gift certificate options!  They typically have restrictions such as:

-Minimum purchase of X required
-Gratuity added automatically based on pre-discount price
-Valid for dine-in/dinner only

You can also get 35% cash back when you shop through ShopAtHome.com.  If you are new to ShopAtHome.com, you will also get a $5 cash back bonus after your first purchase, which means your gift certificate could be FREE!

To get your 35% cash back, click on the blue “Shop Now” button here–>Restaurant.com 35% cash back

I often get questions asking how this works or if it’s really a good deal.  It is for me.  Here’s an example.  A local restaurant we have been wanting to try has a $25 gift certificate for $20.  The “fine print” says that you have to spend at least $35 and that 18% gratuity is added.  Given thecost of food at this location, we would easily be spending $35 anyway.

Here’s a breakdown on pricing:

Buy $25 Restaurant.com certificate – priced at $20

-$14 (70% off code)

Spend $6 + $10 (because our total would be at least $35) and $6.30 for the 18% gratuity – we’re getting a meal that would have been $41.30 with tip for $22.30.  That’s basically half price!  Sounds like a good deal to me!
