If you’re already a member, {and I know a TON of you are!} you can skip this first part, and scroll down a bit to see all of the cool new promotions going on!

For those of you who aren’t a member yet, check it out:

MyPoints is a super cool rewards site that gives you points for shopping, reading emails, and other easy peasy activities! There is always something new and cool going on there, and it has been a favorite of mine for years.

Already in a Rewards Program? MyPoints is cool with that!

Unlike Ebates, where you can ONLY use their coupon codes or you can’t earn cash back, MyPoints doesn’t care what coupon codes you use, or what other rewards programs you stack on top of your purchase! {Example: I can use the coupon codes that Shutterfly sends me directly – Ebates won’t give cash back when I use them- PLUS get my UPromise cash back, PLUS get MyPoints points for my purchase. Awesome, right?} Those points then get redeemed for FREE Gift Cards from places like Macy’s, Kohl’s, Target, Pottery Barn, Home Depot… 100’s of choices. So click the pic above to get started today!

New at MyPoints:

Giveaway: They’re giving away a NEW iPad2 EVERY week during Back-to-School!
DealShare: Share the daily deal on your Facebook page to earn a bonus 5 points each day!
New Stores: They’ve added a ton of new stores for you to shop, like Juicy Couture and Orchard Supply! More sites = More points!

FREE Gift Cards = Easy Christmas Shopping!

I’ve told you guys before… I like to earn these cards all year, and save them up to use for holiday shopping. It makes things SO much less stressful, and more affordable. Plus, if I shop online for my gifts, I earn MORE points, and they’re free with the gift cards too. Win-win.

Back-to-School Coupon Codes + Free Cash

Are you ready for back-to-school?

If you still have shopping to do {and I betting that most of you do!} then you’ll love this quick trick to save big on school supplies, clothes, computers, and whatever else you still need to stock up on.

How to Save:

Do all of your shopping through Ebates! All of the following coupon codes are available to use through Ebates this week, to save you big bucks on your shopping right now. THEN, since you’re shopping through Ebates, and they have a BIG promotion for DOUBLE CASH BACK going on, you’ll stack up some additional savings, and they’ll send you out a BIG FAT CHECK like mine above, with all of your cash back! {During back-to-school and the holidays, I earn between $50-$100 each quarter in savings. The rest of the year, it’s smaller. But still, you’d do the shopping anyway, why not get some of your money back, right?}

How Ebates works:

It’s so super simple. Set up a quick Ebates account, and then use the search box to find the store you want to shop with. They’ll show you some coupon codes to choose from, that you can use at that retailer, and you can see how much cash back you earn there too. Then, click the link, shop like usual, and it will automatically add up your cash back and add it to your account. Easy peasy!

How YOU can save 70% off on Family Trips!

If you’re planning family travel for the holidays, Dunhill can save you loads of money on your trip:

I haven’t traveled in for-EV-er, but we’ve been looking around at travel deals for a few months now… I’d love to take the baby to meet her family in the South sometime soon. She has loads of cousins, 11 aunts and uncles, and 2 grandparents that she needs to see! {Wow, right?} This is all of her family on Daddy’s side. I’ve never met them either, so it’ll be a fun trip whenever we finally get to go.

Dunhill Travel Rocks

While looking around at travel sites, I found Dunhill Travel, and I thought it was a pretty cool one. Most of you already know about sites like travelocity or expedia, but this was one I’d never heard of.

They have some pretty great deals, like 70% off on prices kind of great. You just sign up for their FREE newsletter, and you’ll get notified of the best offers they’ve got available.

Check it out, and if you’re planning a cool trip too, leave a comment and tell me about it! :)
