$292.00 worth of clothes for FREE and more to come!

This was the deal that got me to start this blog! I HAD to share with others my great find. I've done it two years in a row now and plan to keep doing it in the future.

THE DEAL
If you have a credit card from either New York and Company or Victoria's Secret then I know you can sign up through them for this deal. I also just went to the company website (www.mylifestyleperks.com) and see on the home page that they offer the same deal through their direct site!

You sign up for the 30 day trial. It costs $0.99 and if you cancel within the 30 days they actually refund that $0.99 to you!!! If you forget to cancel they will charge you the $49.99 yearly fee but if you cancel within 30 days of that they will refund you the $49.99! SO you actually have about 60 days to take advantage of the deal! They are VERY nice about canceling and it's a super easy process!

WHAT YOU DO
When you sign up for it you need to keep ALL your receipts. Especially ones for gas, shipping costs for online shopping, and all others. They are only good to use from the date you sign up so be sure to keep them all! Once you get your membership info in the mail you can login to the website and print off coupon vouchers to mail in with your receipts. And yes, if you print off shipping receipts from online they DO work!

They have three categories and you earn gift cards in each:

1. online shipping costs
2. other retail costs
3. gas costs

You have to have $40 worth of receipts in each category to earn a $40 gift card from that category.

HOW IT WORKED
Within the 30 day period (I signed up in December so I was doing a LOT of online shopping then) I sent in $40 (I sent in MORE just to make sure it all worked) worth of receipts in each category.I called them multiple times for a couple of weeks until they told me they received my receipts and then I canceled the membership! You can also fax them the receipts which will get it to them quicker so you can cancel quicker too.

When I did it in 2008 I signed up through my Victoria's Secret credit card and they sent me $120 worth of Visa gift cards which were great because we used them on groceries. When I did it again in 2009 with my New Yorks and Company credit card they sent me $120 worth of New York and Company gift cards! My husband liked the Visa one better but I enjoyed a shopping spree!!!

WHAT I GOT SO FAR
I am a coupon QUEEN when it comes to shopping and I had a coupon good for $60 off a $125 purchase so I made sure to spend RIGHT at $125. I got:
2 pair of jeans (during the buy one pair of pants get one free promotion)
3 clearance items (during the buy one clearance get two clearance items free promotion) which included a sweater, a tank top, and another top
2 tops (during a 2 for $25 promotion)
and 1 cardigan (on sale from $44 to $20)

I ONLY bought things that were either on sale or part of a promotion and what I bought would have equaled $292. With the promotions it came to $135. After the coupon it came to $84 and I used the gift cards so it was all FREE!

WHAT I HAVE LEFT
That still leaves me with $40 worth of gift cards left AND since I "spent" so much I earned 2 "citicash" cards which are $15 off a $30 purchase each so I basically didn't just get free clothes, I EARNED "money" too!

 Who WOULDN'T want to do this deal?!?!?
~Please let me know if anyone tries this out and how it works for you!!!!~

  5. Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic

    but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

    I'm getting tired of

    Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I

    would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  6. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism


    or copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content

    I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up

    all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any

    methods to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.

    I am not sure what I would've

    created without the actual techniques revealed by you over

    my situation. This was an absolute hard

    crisis for me, but discovering a new specialised manner you handled that

    took me to leap with fulfillment. I will be happier for

    great job you are always getting into instructing the others via your webpage. More than likely you haven't
    met any of us.
