New Newsletter System & $50 Gift Card Contest

Posted on 01.11.2011 at 3:02 pm by in HIF Contest, HIF News

For some reason I really enjoy saying “new newsletter.” Life is all about the small pleasures.

As many of you probably inferred, I updated HIF’s newsletter service to the fine folks at Mailchimp. I’ve been working out the kinks over the past few months and now it should be good to go. If you want to join up then check out the box over to the right titled “Join the newsletter!” or use this handy dandy link. Either way gets the job done.

Additionally, if you want to make absolutely sure you get the daily updates, add newsletter@heyitsfree.net to your contacts list. Some email providers have been known to send newsletters straight to the spam folder. I promise I’m not a Nigerian Prince nor am I peddling cheap knockoff prescription drugs.

Why join the newsletter? Well besides being able to send me an “out of office” message every day (seriously, what’s the deal with those?) the newsletter is your one stop freebie dose each and every day. As a bonus, I’ll pick two subscribers at random to win a $50 American Express gift card! I’ll use Random.org to pick the winners on Wednesday, January 12, at 8:00pm est and email them!

If you’ve got any questions about the contest or newsletter, please leave a comment.

EDIT: If you were already a subscriber before today, then you’re already entered into the contest.




  • Linda

    If I already get it I don’t have to re-sign up do I?

  • http://www.heyitsfree.net Goob

    Linda, yes! Anybody who is signed up by the deadline tomorrow is entered, new or old.

  • Rebecca

    Subscription confirmed!! Yippee! I have been told that I am a joiner, so guess this proves it.

  • michele

    Thanks Hey It’s Free!

  • catherina

    Is the contest only for new subscribers? Or all subscribers? Btw, it has been a very helpful email. ( :

  • catherina

    Never mind! Just saw your answer to Linda.

  • Tina

    It tells me I’m my email is already used. Hope that doesn’t matter.

  • Angela B.

    Mine says I get it already…hmmmmm…

  • sheri

    It wouldnt let me sign up – said I already receive the newsletter

  • http://www.justjingle.blogspot.com Jingle

    If I am already getting it I don’t have to re-sign up, right?

  • SickMomma

    So, I don’t really understand why but for some reason, my Outlook doesn’t recognize newsletters that come from mcsv.net as the same sender each time, so although I’ve managed to make it stop sending them to the spam filter, Outlook “protects” me each time I got one by not downloading images and even some links. It’s not just Hey It’s Free — I get a couple other newsletters that come via the same free service. Each time, I tell Outlook to save it as one of my “safe senders” and download images each time, but because the sender address is slightly different each day, it thinks it’s new and tries to protect me again. Sigh.

    Ok, that’s my vent about my dislike for Mailchimp in general, but I LOVE Hey, It’s Free! (And my husband says thank you for the free subscriptions to Playboy and Maxim. ;-)

    Oh boy. Okay, don’t panic. I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong, but I hate to tell you that whatever you were looking for isn’t here. Don’t fret though because I’m sure this is somehow Goob’s fault. Even if it isn’t, let’s just blame him, okay?
