Amazon Toy Deals – I bought 3 toys and got paid $4!

Amazon.com currently has a promotion where you get a free subscription to Parenting Early Years or Parenting School Years (a $9.97 value) with a qualifying toy purchase of $25 or more. You can opt to receive a $9.97 rebate instead of the magazine! You’ll receive an email within 8 days with full offer and refund details. The e-mails will only be sent to you if you have not opted out from receiving promotional e-mail communication. If you have chosen not to receive promotional e-mail communication but still want to receive the offer, you will need to update your communication preferences. (details of the promotion are here and the rebate form is here)

I did a little Christmas shopping for Gavin (not like he actually needs anything else, he still has birthday presents we haven’t taken out of the box yet!) but when you find out how good a deal I got on these, you won’t blame me for it!

I got the Leap Frog Fridge Phonics. I just love this toy and have been waiting on him to be big enough to have it. I also got him some trucks made by International Playthings. And a Melissa and Doug puzzle. I love Melissa and Doug toys and this puzzle has very large knobs that are perfect for his little hands.



Orders over $25 get free shipping! They are also doing an offer where if you apply for the Amazon Rewards Visa during checkout and use it to pay for your items you will get $30 back in the form of a $30 credit on your bill.

These three items cost me $36. I got free shipping. Paid for it with my new Amazon Rewards Visa. I will get a $30 credit on my first bill – which means I will only have to pay $6 when the bill comes it. And since my purchase qualified for the Parenting magazine offer – when i submit for that rebate I will get $9.97 back. Which means I will MAKE almost $4 for purchasing these toys!
