A few of my favorite things: MyPoints.com and Bzzagent.com

August 4, 2009 by

MyPoints

I know that I have mentioned MyPoints before. When I first entered the crazy world of bargain hunting, it was one of the first sites that I joined. They send you e-mails (I usually get 10-15 each week) and you earn points for clicking on a link in the e-mails. You can earn additional points for ordering things using the affiliate links on their site.

One of the greatest things about MyPoints is that you can print coupons from their site and then earn points when you redeem them! I have been using more printable coupons lately than insert coupons, so this has been a definite bonus for me!

You can redeem your points for a variety of gift cards. Here are some of the choices: (these are just a few of the options – there are over 75 merchants to choose from!)

*Amazon.com
*Bath & Body Works
*Chili’s
*CVS!!!!
*JC Penney
*Old Navy
*Outback Steakhouse
*Starbucks
*Target
*Walgreens
*Walmart

Get your free Redbox code!

August 3, 2009 by

Use the following code to get a free Redbox movie. The promo code is: 27HZ4KT
(the code is valid today only – 8/3)

You can use the code once per card (so technically, you can get more than one if you have the time to watch more than one in one night!)

Get a code to use later:
Text FIT to 414141 and you will get a personalized, one time use code. The code expires at the end of August. After you get your code, reply back with the word STOP so you don’t get any additional texts.

Here are a few other codes that may work if you have not used them before:
BREAKROOM
DVDONME
REDBOX

For use at Walgreens only: DVDATWAG

To learn more about Redbox (or to find a location, see what’s available, or reserve a selection online), check out their blog here and their site here.

If you are new to using Redbox, Dealseeking Mom has a great tutorial here.
