Another Giveaway, Cheap Books and Weekend Reading – May 30, 2008

$25 Amazon/Chapters Gift Card Giveaway

It seems to be a pattern as of late that we start off the weekend with a giveaway. No, it’s not a book this time, but a $25 Amazon or Chapters gift card/certificate.

What is this contest from? Readers who sign up for free online cash back discounts under my affiliate link automatically get put into the draw. Not only do you get to save money on your online purchases, you get the chance for a free gift card. After we get so many sign ups, we randomly pick a winner.

On the same note, Great Canadian Rebates is offering 6% cash back (instead of the regular 4%) on all Chapters purchases until June 1, 2008. Might be a good time to pick up some of those personal finance books you’ve been wanting to read.
