Clinique Freebies & Free Amazon Gift Cards

I just wanted to share a couple of freebies that are being offered right now. The first one is for college kids, but I figured there might be some moms out there with college students who might like to cash in on this freebie.

Clinique Freebie: Clinique Consultants have been visiting select universities this fall with their 3-Step Skin Care System. They been on hand giving expert skin care advice and providing samples to college students in all majors and school years. This is a free event and great opportunity for students to learn how to address their individual skin care concerns.

Students on campus who visit the Clinique team will walk away with a FREE 3-Step sample. The first students to register also receive Clinique "Sleep In" pajama bottoms. More information on Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System can be found by visiting:www.clinique.com/3step. If you’re unable to attend the event, you can enter online to win a $500 shopping spree by visiting this website & following the on-site instructions.

The deadline to enter is November 15, 2007 by midnight.

Below is a list of upcoming Clinique college dates:

Oct. 15: University of Maryland – College Park
Oct. 16: University of Central Florida
Oct. 17: Boston University
Oct. 18: James Madison University
Oct. 22: Illinois State University
Oct: 29: University of Mississippi
TBD: George Washington University

This second freebie is a current promotion that Coinstar is running.

Coinstar Freebie: Coinstar is offering a free $10 Amazon.com gift card, if you cash $30 in change. The directions are:

1. Bring $30 of coins to a participating Coinstar® Center
2. Cash it in for an Amazon.com gift certificate… and get FREE coin counting!
3. Complete the printed receipt & mail in to receive your $10 Amazon.com gift certificate.

"This is great, but do you have to pay to use coinstar and THEN get the amazon gift card when you cash in your change?"

"You don't pay for Coinstar, if you cash it in for the gift certificates. If you cash in your change for cash (this is sounding more confusing than it is), then there is a charge.

I took this off of the FAQ page:
Is there a charge to use a Coinstar® machine?

Yes. For Coins to Cash™ service, we charge an 8.9% processing fee in the United States, a 9.8% processing fee in Canada, and a 7.9% processing fee in the U.K. Some retailers or financial institutions may choose to subsidize this fee. Coin counting is free in select regions of the U.S. if you convert your change to a nationally-branded gift card or eCertificate such as Starbucks®, Borders®, iTunes, Pier1 Imports® or Amazon.com®. To find out if this new ‘no fee’ service is available in your area, go to the machine locator,"

"Wow - this Coinstar thing sounds like a good deal. You already answered one of my questions here. But, just curious...do you get the $30 in Amazon gift certificates PLUS a free $10 certificate?"

"Yup, that is the way I understand it. You get an additional ten bucks in free money to go along with the thirty that you cashed in. It is a mail-in rebate, but I know how good you are with those, Miss Monica ;) Isn't that awesome??"
