It's almost that time! In just a week our banana-loving host will be swinging our way with two free audiobooks a week from Sync (look out in this thread or the dedicated Sync thread, now also Stickied in the deals forum). In the meantime, I'll highlight some other freebies to tide you over. I'll do two this week, since I'm just that excited.
The first one is free, but you'll have to work for it. Many of you are familiar with getting audiobooks via Overdrive. That's the system many libraries use; you can also purchase their books through some vendors (Books-a-Million comes to mind but there are others). Did you know you can also get Overdirve audiobooks free as promotional products?
I know of two companies who offer these. First is a company called Hip Digital. The main product I know of that offers promotions through them is Kellogg's. They have a program called
Kellogg's Family Rewards. Basically you buy Kellogg's products with the logo, find the code inside the box, enter it in online, save your points, get free stuff. They also have free points on FB, Twitter, etc. Plus, if you already buy Kellogg's products, it's free to you. I've gotten enough points for 1-3 audiobooks a year this way.
The second company is Gives Media. I first learned of them when
My Coke Rewards started offering them as redemption prizes. I used my miles on United to get a couple of audiobooks (I never fly enough to get a free ticket before my miles expire). Most recently, Rev. Bob turned me on to an app called
Viggle. Basically you earn points for the TV you watch and the music you listen to. I've already gotten 1 free audiobook and am on my way to another.
That's one down. I'll post another (easier) freebie later today. Good hunting!
Enjoy!
