InBox Dollars + VistaPrint = $.33 Profit & A FREE Gift

Wondering how this one works, right?

Vista Print frequently has lots of fun things for "free". Click here to take a peek. Now the product is free, but there is still shipping to pay (read : where they make their money).

Here's what I did. I got an e-mail from InBox Dollars saying if I ordered some free stuff from VistaPrint, I'd get a $5 bonus. So, I got the cute notepad pictured and personalized it for my daughter. I paid $4.67 for shipping. But, I'll get $5 back from InBox Dollars. That's an overall profit of $.33.

Here's the deal. I can't find the deal on the InBox Dollars offers page, but they e-mailed it to me 4 days ago and again yesterday. Plus, the link I put in above, takes you to the InBox Dollars/VistaPrint sale page.

Bottom line.....it pays to read what most people see as junk mail. I made $.33 (okay that's not huge) and have a FREE personalized birthday gift on the way for my daughter. Yay!

P.S. Update (2-14-09)-I just checked my InBox Dollars account and the $5 is there, so it's official. I got a free personalized note pad and made a tiny cash profit.
