$5 Sears GC at AdPerk!

by 6 Comments


It’s back!!! It seems they’ve worked out the kinks since they sent out the $10 GC invitation-only offers last week, and now everyone can earn a $5 Sears gift certificate at AdPerk. It states limited quantities, so hurry over to claim yours by simply watching a few advertising video clips. I promise it won’t take much time at all!

Don’t forget to check out all the free magazine subscriptions you can earn by watching videos on AdPerk while you’re there.

Thanks to Laurie for the heads up on this, and be sure to enter to win a great Pampered Chef prize on her site!

AdPerk: Check Your Emails!!!

by 6 Comments


I posted about about getting free magazine subscriptions by watching videos on AdPerk back in May. If you’ve signed up with them, be sure to check your emails for a special invitation-only offer (mine was in my spam folder)! If you received this special offer, you’ll be able to watch videos on the latest Kenmore appliances to earn a free $10 gift certificate for Sears.

If you haven’t yet signed up with AdPerk, I’d highly recommend that you take a minute to do it now. They sent out a survey recently asking how members would feel about watching videos to earn gift certificates to various stores (including CVS!!!), so it seems like this may be something they will be offering regularly in the future.

Plus they’re still offering free subscriptions to Parenting, Ode, Popular Science, and Field & Stream currently, with many more marked as coming soon.

Here’s another great tip – If you won’t read a magazine, perhaps you know someone else that would love it. You can have the subscription transferred into their name by contacting their subscriber services and turn it into a great free gift!

Get a 1-year subscription to Working Mother magazine from Rewards Gold for a quick quick survey on handbags. I’ve signed up for several subscriptions through them in the past, and I’ve always received them!

Redbox 101: Your Guide to Renting Free and Cheap DVDs

by 39 Comments


By popular demand, here’s how to use those Redbox free rental codes that I post every Monday! By the way, rentals are only $1 regularly, so this is a great resource for cheap entertainment even without a free rental code!

It really could not be easier. The first thing you should do is find your nearest Redbox using their Redbox kiosk search. From here’s it’s just three simple steps to redeem your free rental code:

  • Select “Rent with a Promo Code”. You’ll find this option on the opening touch screen in the lower left corner. Now enter your code, of course.
  • Select your movie. Redbox always has a great variety of choices. You’re sure to find something appropriate for your family, and new releases are added every Tuesday. You can check out the current releases here.
  • Complete your transaction. You’ll need to enter a credit card to check out, but you will not be charged unless you do not return your movie by 9:00 p.m. the following evening.

Speaking of returning movies, you can return them to any Redbox location! You need not return it to the specific location that you rented it from. They are always due back by the following evening at 9:00 p.m. The good news, however, is that you will never be charged a late fee. You will only be charged for another night’s rental at the rate of $1. This is great for those of us with mommy brain that tend to forget about these things until about 8:59 p.m.

One of my favorite features is the ability to reserve your Redbox movies online ahead of time. How cool is that option?!? Unfortunately it cannot be used with the free rental codes at this time, but I’ll be the first to shout out the news if they ever add it!

Be sure to check back here every Monday for the latest free rental code valid through midnight CST.

HOT TIP! – You can actually use them more than once. The trick is you will have to use a different credit card or debit card for each transaction.

Looking for a free rental code that can be used anytime? I suggest you check out Redbox Insider. They usually have several working codes listed at any given time!
