$5 Amazon Credit!



Remember that awesome Parents Magazine 1-year subscription from Amazon I told you guys about on Tuesday? Well it just got better! I received the following email from Amazon:

"To thank you for being an Amazon.com Magazines customer, we've created an exclusive $5.00 code just for you. Use the code from your email at checkout, and you'll see $5.00 deducted from your order total. Please note that this credit may be used to buy any item offered by Amazon.com, but it is not valid on purchases of used items or other products sold by third parties."

I placed the Parents subscription in my cart on Tuesday, but I didn't order it because I wanted to add some more things to my order before checking out. I'm so glad I waited because I just got $5 off my order total! Woohoo! =)

Now I have no idea if this will work, but if you haven't ordered your Parents subscription...try placing the subscription in your cart and wait to see if you get the same email. It's worth a try! If you have already ordered your Parents subscription, be on the lookout for your $5 credit email. I've never ordered a magazine from Amazon before, so I can't figure out how else they think I'm a Amazon Magazines customer?!

The code is good until September 10th...Good Luck!

Swag Code #3!



Swag Code #3 is HERE worth 9 Swag Bucks for until 1:00pm PDT. Hurry, you only have 1 hour to answer!

Tipster Tuesday: Pay your bills online!



Paying my bills online is one way I save money and simplified my finances. I find it so easy and convenient to pay my bills online from the comfort of my home. I pay 12 bills a month online which saves me $5.28 on stamps. That is a savings of $63 a year! May not sound like a large amount, but every little bit adds up. I know I can find a lot more things to spend that $63 on other than stamps. Most utility, electric, phone, mortgage, and cable companies allow online bill paying. Here is the advantages of paying your bills online:

  • Saves time- You don’t have to waste time writing checks, stuffing envelopes, or driving to the post office.
  • Payment scheduling- You will be able to ensure your payment is made on time because you schedule your payment when you choose. This helps avoid any late fees or late payments that could affect your credit score. Many companies offer a bill reminder feature which automatically sends you an e-mail notifying you of an upcoming bill due date.
  • Convenience- No need to load the kids in the car and run to the post office. You will be able to stay home in your pajamas and pay your bills whenever it is most convenient for you. Perhaps while enjoying your morning cup of coffee, naptime, etc.
  • Budget oriented- You can easily access your accounts and review your balances, payments, and history. Online bill paying allows you to save money on postage, envelopes, checks and gas.
  • Environment friendly- By reducing your paper checks and paper bills, you will reduce the amount of clutter and paper waste you have in your home.
Now you may be thinking, "Is paying my bills online safe?" Reports show that people who use online bill paying are 10% less likely to have their identities stolen than those who use paper billing payments. While nothing is completely safe, there are some routine precautions you can take to ensure your online activities are secure:
  • Make sure the Website is secure. Login to your account by entering your user id and password. Notice that the lettering in the URL address will change from "http" to "https." The "s" stands for "secure" and lets you know that the site is indeed secure. You may also find a “VeriSign Trusted” seal or padlock somewhere on the website.
  • Create strong passwords of at least 8 characters that combine letters, numbers, and symbols. Use a different password for each account and change your passwords frequently. NEVER select the option to automatically save your password and login information!
  • Secure your PC with security software such as Norton and keep the software updated.
  • Sign up with a credit-reporting agency such as Equifax to review your credit history and receive alerts when unusual activity occurs on your credit.
So as long as you do everything you reasonably can to secure your PC and take routine precautions in making your online transactions, the benefits of managing your finances online will outweigh any safety concerns. Online bill paying can save you money, time, and add convenience to your life!

Amazon: Parents Magazine Subscription only $4!

Tipster Tuesday: Giveaways



If you have been following my blog, then you know how much I LOVE getting FREE stuff! Blog giveaways are a fun and easy way to do just that. I personally have won everything from coupons to recently a $70 CSN gift card by entering giveaways! Even though I'm on a tight budget, I can still enjoy things by winning them! =) Plus it's a great way to learn about products and read what others think about them. Here are some tips to help increase your chances of winning a blog giveaway:
  1. Read the giveaway post carefully. The details of the giveaway along with specific entry requirements and rules will be found in the giveaway post.
  2. Follow entry directions. If the blogger asks you to visit a website, find your favorite item, and leave a comment telling them what it is and the person comments "I love giveaways!" They will be disqualified, because they didn’t follow the rules.
  3. Enter on the giveaway post. Be sure to comment on the actual giveaway post. Most bloggers do not accept comments on Facebook or Twitter.
  4. Always take advantage of extra entries. Many bloggers will give you chances for extra entries. You usually have to enter a separate comment for each entry. Example: Entry #1 "Like" on Facebook, Entry #2 I'm an email subscriber, etc. Get as many extra entries as you can. You can increase your odds of winning greatly!
  5. Look for low entry giveaways. You are more likely to win if you find a blog that is new to giveaways or a giveaway with 100 or less entries. The lower number of entries, the higher your chances of winning!
  6. Leave your contact information. Make sure you leave a valid email address with every entry you submit. The email address is the only way a blogger has to contact you. Leave your email in the comments with spaces between the words (so you don’t get any spam). Example: funandfrugalmoms (at) gmail (dot) com
  7. Check your email. Check the blog on the day the winner is to be announced and your email. Most bloggers will only give you 48-72 hours to respond before they choose a new winner. Always check your spam or junk folder too.
  8. Keep track of giveaway entries. Write down the name of the blog, what giveaway you entered, and the giveaway end date. You don't won't to forget you entered a giveaway, win, and not claim your prize.
  9. Enter consistently. The more blog giveaways you enter, the better your chances of winning. Keep at it and the wins should start coming your way!
  10. Have fun. Remember to have fun while doing giveaways!
Good Luck! =)
