In nearly every retailer’s spot, there’s a plea for joining up, via memberships. Most people look at these as yet another source of junk mail. Who needs more of that? However, you might want to reconsider the prospect!
There is a side to signing up for email memberships or newsletters worth having. You get FREE stuff!!! Yeah, you’ve got to sort through the stuff, hit the “Delete” button a few more times, but the freebies are worth many site’s email. Here’s a tip for you- if you want to find a coupon for a retailer and aren’t able to locate one, try signing up for a free membership or newsletter- often those are the only ones available or are the best ones to find.
Here are my picks for “worth-flooding-your-inbox” newsletters or sign-ups:
- Kmart. Sign up at Kmart.com, to receive a $5.00 off coupon on $25 purchase in the store (it’s only good for a week after you sign up, so sign up and use it immediately). Get another $5.00 coupon to use online purchases in the initial “welcome” email.
- PacSun- You’ll score a coupon good for 15% off in store or online, instantly. Plus, you’ll get special offers daily.
- dELias- Your sign up will give you a free shipping code off a purchase online of $25.00, and discounts on special items.
- JC Penney’s- Get special offers, as an “associate” friend of the family. Today’s deal was a promo code for an extra 20% off online purchases.
- Pillsbury- Obtain the best recipes and coupons on products.
Try these for a few extra savings and discounts. If you limit yourself to a just a couple of favorites or hard to find coupon sites, you won’t feel overwhelmed when you look at your inbox. Or have a separate email just for freebies that you can check occasionally.
