Here are the instructions from "Freebies 4 Mom" on how to snag your free card:

1. Select your Hallmark paper folded 5x7 card (I selected the "Top Reasons Photos" card because I could put 7 photos on the front, remember that you can select any paper or photo card, not just the ones featured)

2. Personalize the text/photos on the front, inside, and back of the card

3. Sign-in to your Hallmark account (or create one for free)

3. Mail it directly to your recipient so that Hallmark pays for that stamp if you'd be mailing it anyways. Select "I want Hallmark to mail this card for me" and enter your recipient's address.

4. Choose your arrival date (soonest is May 6) and then add the card to your shopping basket.

5. Enter Code: APRILCARD. The code is not case-sensitive. The total cost without the promotion card would have been $3.91. The entire $3.91 will be deducted on the order screen. Your cost - FREE!

6. Check out and "Submit Order Now". You will not be asked for any billing information because your total was $0.00.

Note: If the form soesn't go through, try putting a space in the Address 2 field.
Check your CLER accounts for a new study on "Assorted Consumer Behavior Studies" that pays a $5 Amazon gc. (It's a quickie...it says 15 minutes but took me 2-3 minutes max, so unless you get different questions it shouldn't be bad at all.)

There's also a new $1 Paypal survey up at the UCLA Anderson Behavioral Lab.

31 Cent Scoop Night
Wednesday, April 29, 2090
5-10 pm

Join us for 31 Cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins®
and help us honor America’s firefighters with a $100,000
donation to the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC)
National Junior Firefighter Program.

Participating stores will reduce prices of small ice cream
scoops to 31 cents*. At some locations, you may also have

Through May 4, 2009, you can send a FREE 5x7 paper card from Hallmark.com for any occasion! While this promotion was specifically created for Mother's Day, you do not have to send a Mother's Day card.

Go here and create a card up to $3.49 in value (excludes cards with sound and invitation/announcement cards). Personalize your card and add photos if you'd like. Then, when you go to check out enter the code CARD4MOM. You'll get the card for free plus shipping will be free as well.

If you don't have anyone you need to send a card to in the next few weeks, you can even order a card for a future date and have it scheduled to be sent then. How cool would that be for people like me who always forget to send cards until the event is almost past?!
