Free $5 Amazon Video Credit

EDIT: This is no longer available.

If you have a Twitter account (and judging from the 57,000 of you following HIF, you do!) then use it to get a free $5 Amazon video on demand credit. After clicking the yellow “Tweet and get $5 button,” it’ll link your Twitter and Amazon accounts together and then you should get a confirmation screen saying the credit has been applied to your account.

You can use this credit to “rent a new release movie, catch up on recent TV seasons, or even watch your favorite TV shows the day after they air.” And if you want to unlink your accounts, well then check out this handy guide I wrote a while back.

Free $5 Amazon Video on Demand Credit

Goob — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:32:49 +0000

As the follower count to HIF’s Twitter feed shows, most of you have a Twitter page. If you don’t mind making one tweet about Amazon, you can get $5 in Amazon Video on Demand credit for free. Just go to their page and click on the yellow button. That will take you to Twitter, follow the instructions, and the $5 will be credited to your account. You’ve got until tomorrow, June 19, to snag this offer.

Free MojoMilk

Goob — Sat, 21 May 2011 16:18:45 +0000

EDIT: They’ve changed this offer so that it now requires a shipping fee. To heck with that.

You’re suposed to share this free MojoMilk offer either on Facebook or Twitter in order to get the freebie. However, the confirmation message appears immediately after submitting the form, so I canceled out of the popup window.

Now for the important question: what the heck is MojoMilk? Chocolate milk has chocolate, strawberry milk contains strawberries, so I can only assume MojoMilk is packed full of mojo for when you’re a little off your game.

Free Seattle’s Best Coffee

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Hate the Facebook offers? How about a Twitter freebie! All you have to do is follow @SeattlesBest then fill out the form here. There aren’t even any Twitter apps to delete afterwords!

While you’re there, why not follow @HeyItsFree? It’s where I post freebies and make fun of stupid TV shows! You could argue that makes me stupid for watching them, but I’d appreciate if you didn’t.

Free Energizer Nail Polish From ShopText

Goob — Sat, 07 May 2011 15:33:26 +0000

You can get free Energizer nail polish from ShopText by texting SUMMER to 467467. We’ve written about them before, but long story short they’re a legit company that’s trying to make freebies via text messages more popular.

Wow, that was pretty short.

How to Delete Twitter Apps

Goob — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:12:33 +0000

I figured it was time for me to post a tutorial on deleting Twitter apps. Why? Because I care. Also, I’m super bored and the half dozen people I’m playing in Chess With Friends are taking hours to make their moves. I’m half convinced they’ve got a program calculating every possibility to help cheat.

Before we get started, if you’re so inclined, you can follow HIF and/or myself on Twitter. The HIF feed is for freebies while my feed is where I swear about stupid things in my life. It’s fun.

So, the one thing we have going for us is revoking access on Twitter is a whole heck of a lot easier than on Facebook. Step one, obviously, is logging into your account. Once there, you want to click the arrow next to your name in the top right.

Next, click “Settings” to get to your settings. Did I even need to type that sentence?

I’m beginning to seriously question if this post is even needed, but we’re too far in at this point. Now that you’ve arrived at your settings, click the “Connections” tab.

Finally, hunt down those pesky applications you’ve granted access to and click “Revoke Access.” They should immediately turn grey.

So there ya have it. Hopefully this helps a few Hiffers out there in cleaning up their Twitter accounts and protecting their privacy while also still being able to get a few Twitter freebies.

Coupon: Free Candy or Drink at CVS

Goob — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:32:03 +0000

A lot of people complain about the number of freebies on Facebook now, so let’s see if they have the same aversion to Twitter. CVS is offering a coupon for a free candy or drink. Similar to Facebook freebies, you have to access their Twitter app in order to get this freebie. I guess it’s time for me to make a tutorial on removing these as well. Based on my current to-do list, the expected ETA for that is around 2046.

Are You Following HIF on Twitter or Facebook?

Goob — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:55:23 +0000

Occasionally people ask why they should follow HIF’s Twitter or Facebook page. Well, for starters, it’s how some Hiffers were able to get the large Tide sample from last week’s Freebies Received post.

Basically I sometimes find smaller offers or freebies that are about to expire. Neither are worth the time or effort it would take to write a proper post, either because they’re only available for certain people or will die before I can think of something funny. So instead I throw them up on Twitter and Facebook.

As a bonus, questions asked on Facebook are answered by other Hiffers ~~somewhat~~ lightyears faster than if they were emailed to me. Turns out they’re a pretty helpful and knowledgable bunch.

So if you’re not already following HIF on Twitter or Facebook, what the heck are you waiting for?

Free Binaca

Goob — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:55:02 +0000

EDIT: This is no longer available.

If you want some free binaca, you can get a coupon for one free product via snail mail by signing up on their site. You have to click on steps one and two before the signup form appears under step three and you’ll also have to confirm your email. The coupon should be good at all Walgreens and Wal-Marts but it might also work at additional stores.

On a related note, can anybody else think of binaca without simultaneously thinking of Jim Carrey talking with his butt in Ace Ventura? If so, kudos to you.

[thanks Common Sense with Money!]

Free 1GB Creative Zen MP3 Player

Goob — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:25:14 +0000

EDIT: Looks like this one died pretty quick.

Napster just posted on their Facebook page that anybody can get a free 1GB Creative Zen MP3 player by commenting of their status about the first concert you ever saw. You have to mention who it was, what year it occurred, and where it was held. After you’ve done so, send an email to blogger@napster.com with your name and address and make sure to put EWW 7/7 in the subject line.

They’re also offering this through their Twitter page. Simple follow them, tweet the same info as requested above, and then email your info.

A 1 gig MP3 player isn’t that big, but it should be more than enough to hold all of my High School Musical soundtrack CDs! What can I say, I like to rock out while I’m working.

[thanks Michael!]

Free True Lemon Tote Bag

Goob — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:40:47 +0000

If you still have some free True Lemon lying around then take a picture of yourself drinking it, send it in, and get a free True Lemon tote bag! If you don’t have anything to tote, you can always use it to carry around freebies. I find that giving away free stuff out of a bag is a great way to meet people at the mall and have the cops called on you!

Free Dove Soap via Twitter

Goob — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:40:46 +0000

If you hate your current soap enough to take a picture of it, then do so and Dove will send you some free soap via Twitter. Dove should then contact you with a link to fill out for your free soap. Having trouble?

Log-in / register with Twitter.
Go to Dove’s Twitter page and click the “Follow” button.
Take a photo of your current soap. Then go to TwitPic.com and log-in with your Twitter info. Finally, upload your picture here.
Head back to your Twitter page and send a message to Dove in the “What’s happening?” box. Make sure to include a link to your picture as well as @Dove somewhere in your message. Look at mine for an example.

While you’re there, why not follow Hey, It’s Free and yours truly?

I know a lot of people are anti-Twitter, but the fact of the matter is that more companies are starting to use it to give away freebies, similar to how they do with Facebook. Best to embrace it now instead of missing out on offers down the road.
