Thank You for Supporting Me! Here's a $5 gift card!

Before I start this blog post, I truly want to thank ALL of you for stopping by and supporting my savings blog.  I am so happy to be able to help others save, so keep sharing and telling others about this page - get everyone in on the money saving ideas!!

 


The one thing I might love just as much, or even MORE than saving myself, is helping others save just as much as I do.  There is something so awesome about seeing others get excited about savings they are able to achieve!  I love what I do! Okay, okay... Enough babbling with my random emotions (can you say pregnancy hormones?!)... Let's get to the savings! 


I am here to get you access to the newest savings technology, AND get you a FREE $5 gift card, no purchase necessary!

Here's the details, and what you do to get your $5 gift card!


Okay, so anyone who has attended my couponing class knows that I LOVE taking advantage of all of the savings technology programs that are out there!  There are so many neat apps and free programs where by just signing up and either scanning a receipt, or uploading purchases, you qualify for points towards prizes and products, or even cash back!  It usually takes very little extra planning, and over time really ads up!  (If you have any questions about savings technology, use the contact form on the right hand side of the blog to ask me what you want to know!)
 
SO!  Here is the newest, and probably easiest savings program I have seen!  It is called Plink, and it is a completely free program that helps earn you points towards gift cards with things you already are buying!  The points can be redeemed for gift cards for Amazon, Wal Mart, iTunes, Subway, and more!   All you do is link your most frequently used debit or credit card to your Plink account and the points start racking up!

 
 
The idea:  You get an offer from Plink - 'Earn $150 points at Burger King'!  You add that offer to your wallet, and you use the debit/credit card you have linked to your account to purchase your BK lunch!  In 1-5 days, the points are sitting in your Plink account, ready to be used towards a gift card redemption!  How easy is that?! 
 
Want to know if it's worth it?  Here's a shot of some offers I currently have with Plink:


Keep in mind, that everyone's Plink account may look different, and some offers are promotional, but you get the idea!  Plink customer service is really helpful, too!  If you see or hear of a Plink offer that you don't have, you simply write them requesting it show up in your offers, and Poof!  it does!

So let's say I wanted to know how to earn those 300 points at Kmart.  I simply click on the Kmart offer:


And it lets me know that by spending the following amounts, you will earn the corresponding points!  If I think it sounds like a good deal, I simply add it to my wallet:
 
 
As you can see, in my wallet right now I also have Dollar General and Dunkin Donuts (hello pumpkin spice everything!!!).

So, pretty simple right!? It's the easiest way to earn money while spending on regular purchases I think I have ever seen or used.  I absolutely love it, and can't wait for you to love it too!

NOW!  Don't be afraid!  I know that the thought of linking a credit or debit card to a program may  seem a little scary, but this program is SO secure, and that is one of the reasons I chose to use it.  It was created by Intuit (the same people who make QuickBooks and TurboTax) and it is 100% Read-Only, which means NO ONE can have access to your account besides you.  It’s all done by an automated process—Plink only receives a report detailing transactions in order to award points. Mint.com and Paypal use this EXACT same technology, so your credit/debit card information is completely safe!

So, ready to earn your first 500 free points and redeem for whatever gift card you want!?  Follow the steps below, and enjoy this little thank you that I am able to give you for following me on my savings journey!
  1. Click HERE to go to Plink and get registered (if you don't follow THIS link, you won't qualify for the $5 gift card, it is a promotion Plink offered me for my followers!)
  2. Enter a valid email address and choose a password, or sign in using social media (Facebook or Twitter)
  3. Link a credit or debit card to your account (Please remember that only NEW Plink users will receive this deal!)
  4. Confirm your email address, and voila!  You will receive 500 Plink points to redeem for your first gift card! (I have been informed that in some regions, plink will hold the 500 points until any activity is shown on the account to avoid scamming, so please be aware of that memo!)





And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done! Enjoy your $5 gift card!  Maybe email me, or comment below what you used it for! 

Please know that this post is made ENTIRELY on my own behalf, and of my own opinion.  I was not paid or compensated in ANY way for my opinion or promotion of this product or program!  I just LOVE sharing things that save you money!
