Discover Card holders: Sign up for July-September 5% Cashback Bonus


If you have a Discover Card, don’t forget to log in and then sign up to receive the July – September 5% cashback bonus on gas, theme parks, hotels and movies.

The 5% bonus is only good on the first $300 worth of purchases during July, August and September, but it’s better than nothing, right? And the 5% bonus on groceries returns in September too! Sign up for that starting August 1.



Tropicana Juicy Rewards


Tropicana started a new program in January called Tropicana Juicy Rewards.

When you purchase specially-marked Tropicana juice products, you will get a code that you can enter on the rewards Web site. The codes generate points that you can redeem for discounts at participating:

- Retail/Online stores
- Salons
- Performing Arts Venues
- Classes & Lessons
- Amusement Parks
- Home Improvement stores
- Travel
- and more.

I’m excited about this program because we purchase a lot of Tropicana juice and it’s always nice to have an extra bonus when purchasing something you consume regularly!

Do you plan to travel before the end of the year?

Save your rewards points and get discounts for your destination city! Be sure to read the offer terms & conditions before redeeming, but I didn’t see anything that would prohibit me from redeeming points to get discounts in Philadelphia this summer when we attend a conference there.

For Dallas readers, here’s a fabulous offer that I’m going to take advantage of this week…

As soon as I replace my printer’s ink, I will redeem 3 points for a Dallas Children’s Theater voucher to buy one adult ticket and get one child ticket free. This will be a savings of $16-21, depending on whether we sit in section A or section B. I usually try to get to their Target Saturday performance since the tickets are $10 each, but we missed it last month, so I was thrilled to see this opportunity.

- Check out what rewards are available near you.
I just looked through the Dallas-area ones again and noticed several new ones, so keep checking back if you don’t see something that appeals to you.

- Check out the program’s FAQs

- Register here and enter the code MOMCE-NTRAL to get a free point.
This one-time use code is valid for new accounts ONLY. Must be entered within 6 hours of creating your account.

- Get free codes by following Tropicana on Facebook and Twitter.

All points must be entered by November 15, 2010, but you can redeem your points until December 15, 2010.


Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review.

Bizzy – New site for local deals


I saw a Facebook post from The Cultured Cup (tea, coffee, chocolates store in Dallas) that stated they only needed three more people to register to become a featured business when Bizzy launches in a few days (2 now since I registered). The first 25 people to register will get a free cup of tea or coffee on their next visit. Since I like The Cultured Cup’s tea, I registered, and then I looked into Bizzy a bit more.

It’s a new site that will connect consumers with their favorite businesses and give consumers access to exclusive deals, including birthday surprises. The site is in beta, and I can’t see any way to connect with any other businesses yet, nor can I see which cities will be able to participate in Bizzy, but I’m guessing everything will be more clear on March 2 when it launches.

If you are in Dallas and want to connect with The Cultured Cup on Bizzy, register here. The free cup of tea or coffee is good for the first 25 people that “connect” as a customer, so you’ll have to check the “customers” number to see what number you are.

DenTek Nation


If you use DenTek products or would like to learn more about them, sign up for their email list and be sure to join the DenTek Nation.

I took one of their surveys a few weeks ago and today, I received two Custom Comfort Nightguards, a sheet of coupons and an envelope full of samples (multiple types of floss, floss picks, easy brush cleaner and floss threaders) – many with a $1.00 off coupons on the back of them. Nice!



January is Thyroid Awareness Month – $25 Amazon.com GC Giveaway

WINNER: Comment #21: Ashley S. I have emailed Ashley and she has 24 hrs to respond. Congrats!

Note: This is not a “deal” post, but something that I have experience with and feel is important to share with you.

I had no idea that January is National Thyroid Awareness Month. As someone who has dealt with thyroid issues for more than a decade, I wanted to participate in this awareness campaign when the folks at the Global Influence Network contacted me about it.

During a routine physical exam in my 20s, my internist detected the small goiters growing on my thyroid. After an ultrasound confirmed their existence and after some tests to rule out cancer, I started on Synthroid. Thankfully the nodules were caught early and haven’t grown since starting on medication.

The thyroid is a small gland located in the middle of the lower neck, which produces hormones that regulate many functions including temperature, weight gain, and weight loss. Many Americans experience various problems with the functioning of their thyroid. Some red flags to watch for are:

* sudden weight gain or increase in body fat
* inability to lose weight despite proper diet and exercise
* fatigue, insomnia or restless sleep, anxiety or panic attacks
* gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
* chronic sinusitis or lingering infections

It is important that people experiencing these warning signs see their physician to learn more.
There are also many online resources for those seeking more information and support. One online resource is the Fibro 360 Community – Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center. This online community not only offers a network of support, but also resources to those seeking more information about fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and related disorders including those concerning the thyroid.

If you’d like to learn more or would like to join the Fibro 360 Community, please visit Fibro 360 on Facebook. You can also follow Fibro 360 on Twitter.

Are you on the “A” list? (for Dallas readers)


Are you a member of the “A” list?

If you live in Dallas and like to eat out at 50% off, sign up for this email list!

They will email you on Sunday with a list of restaurants that will be offering discounts during the week (one a day). Then, each morning, they’ll email you with information on how to get the discount for the restaurant.

The City Café on Lovers Lane is one of the restaurants on the list later this week. I love their brunches!

Swagbucks alert!


I don’t normally post Swagcode opportunities because they come along pretty regularly and are usually for 1 or 2 Swagbucks, but this one is worth FOUR Swagbucks and is valid until 4:30 PM Central time. If you participate in Swagbucks, head over to the blog to get the code!

If you’re not a member of Swagbucks, sign up here and start earning SBs to redeem for gift cards and other prizes!

Please vote for my video on Facebook


I have the opportunity to win a $10,000 vacation from ConAgra Foods and would like to ask for your help!

Back in September, I saw that ResourcefulMommy.com was hosting a Delicious Moments Twitter party, and the first 75 people to upload a video would receive a booklet of free coupons for ConAgra products and a $10 Walmart gift card. It seemed like an easy way to get some great coupons and a gift card. I never imagined my video would be in the running for a paid vacation!

Fifteen videos were selected from all the entries. The video with the most votes by November 9 will win. You can only vote one time. Unfortunately they don’t show how many votes each video has received so I don’t know if I’m way behind or in the running to win. If you are on Facebook and can vote for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

To watch my video and vote, go to http://apps.facebook.com/delicious-moments/.

My video is listed as “Susan Clot” (they left out part of my name) and I am standing in my garage with a yellow shirt on.

Thank you!
