Best Freebies, Samples, & Daily Deals

There are all sorts of free samples and resources available online if you know which websites to visit! Use our list to find freebies from dozens of companies.

Freebie Newsletters

Updated: Jul 16, 2019 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

More companies are offering freebies only to people who are members of their newsletters. If you're a veteran Hiffer, chances are this isn't news to you, but some newer Hiffers may be missing out on stuff! And if there's one thing I won't stand for, it's wearing constrictive pants. After that, it's people I like missing out on freebies. And I like all of you.

So take a few minutes to sign up with the sites below. And for the love of everything holy, use your freebie email account!

Kraft First Taste – Probably the best site on this list. I've received tons of stuff through them, however most are in the form of coupons valid for one free full-size product.

All of the above newsletters will offer 10,000 monthly freebies of products ranging from free Honey Nut Cheerios to free Progresso Soup. However they stipulate that only people who are already members can request the freebies. I lump them all together because they're all General Mills companies.

P&G Everyday Sampler – Again, you can sign up for this when you decide to request their freebies, but you might as well get it out of the way now. They offer giant batches of freebies every three months.

I'm sure I forgot a few, but those are the main ones off the top of my head.

Free 24 Hour Access to Consumer Reports

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

Well, it's not quite 24 hours worth of access by now, but now through 3am on July 6th you can get free access to ConsumerReports.org. So if you've had your eye on a new TV or refrigerator, log in and check out their ratings.

I'm typing this with one hand on a cell phone dating back to the Reagan Administration. If this post comes through with properly working links and no errors, then I've hit my yearly quota for miracles.

Free Personalized Video from Santa

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

A boatload of Hiffers have emailed asking if I'd post this free personalized video from Santa again and I don't mean some piddly canoe. We're talking about gigantic cruise ship boatload. Every third email seems to be asking for me to post this, which is actually a nice break from the letters I typically receive. You'd think being told how handsome I am every day would be nice, but it sure can get tiring.

Free Zappos.com VIP Membership

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

Here's one of those freebies to sign up for just in case you want it in the future. Zappos.com typically offers free priority mail shipping on all orders, however for the next 24 hours you can upgrade your account to VIP status giving you free overnight shipping on all orders. They ran this offer last December and since then I've ordered two or three things, all of which were on my doorstep the next morning.

Fine, I admit, I only signed up so that I can say I'm a VIP somewhere. It gives me an excuse to wear my spray-painted gold suit.

Free Lifetime Overnight Shipping on Zappos

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

I don't buy many shoes and have only used Zappos.com twice before, but for the next 863 minutes you can sign up for a free VIP membership, which gives you free overnight shipping for life. I figured I should sign up just in case I marry a woman addicted to shoes or decide to finally buy some new boots next year.

863 minutes from now happens to be midnight, so you've got until then to sign up!

3 Free MyCokeRewards Points

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

I know a lot of Hiffers, like myself, participate in the MyCokeRewards program. Despite these three free points we can get in exchange for watching a video, I have to wonder, am I ever going to have enough points to get a decent prize? I've been saving up for almost two years now and the best prize I can get is a freaking Coke tote bag. No offense Coke, but I don't tote that much stuff.

Free Carfax Report

Updated: Oct 12, 2019 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

Free Carfax Report

This free Carfax Report offer is a new joint-promotion with Facebook. Shoppers using the Facebook app have access to free Carfax Reports simply by listing their car on Facebook Marketplace. It's absolutely free to list on FB Marketplace, then you can get your free Carfax before removing your listing 😉

Normally a Carfax usually costs $39.99, so this is great if you're buying a car. I used my free report to look up my old truck and was told that the odometer had potentially been tampered. Yeah, it's my fault the makers only put five digits on the display so that after 99,999 it simply rolled over. As soon as the first 100,000 were put on it, I raced around the country to secretly put on another 100,000 without anybody being any the wiser!

You know, I probably shouldn't be telling this to tens of thousands of people. I'd make a horrible evil scientist.

If the offer above expires, ReverseVINCheck has a promo that's half off compared to Carfax and Autocheck!

25 Free My Coke Reward Points

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

EDIT: It doesn't look like this is available anymore.

If you drink any Coke products with regularity, you should consider signing up for My Coke Rewards and entering in the points found under the cap / inside the box. They can be redeemed for magazine subscriptions, coupons for free drinks, and various other prizes.

There's currently a deal going on where you can also get 25 free points as well as a coupon for a free appetizer at T.G.I. Friday's if you go to their Earn Points page and click on the TGIF logo. It'll take you to a TGIF signup form for their Give Me More Stripes reward program and after you join, you'll then be e-mailed a code worth 25 Coke points. Coupons for free drinks only cost 24 points, so basically you're getting a free drink plus the free coupon that TGIF will send you for an appetizer.

Freebies via Facebook Ads?

Updated: May 7, 2019 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

Facebook Freebies in ads

Tech news sites Mashable and Inside Facebook are reporting that some companies are testing out a new Facebook advertising feature by offering freebies directly in their ads! The current ad that people are finding is a Chick-fil-A offer that links to a free chicken biscuit. If you happen to see the ad, simply click, enter in your address, and they'll send you a coupon!

If you happen to spot any other Facebook freebies, please let me know in the comments and maybe take a screenshot of it. Also, while you're there, why not become a fan of Hey, It's Free? 🙂

Exclusive HIF Swagbucks Offer

Updated: Oct 1, 2018 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

We've written about Swagbucks quick a few times already (tons of forums posts plus this extensive Swagbucks review I made back in January). After two months of using them as my primary search engine, I'd say I'm even more in love with them than I initially was. I've already earned enough points for two $5 Amazon giftcards and I'm fairly close to a third. How can you not love free money just for searching?!

If you're still sitting on the fence about joining Swagbucks, maybe this will help nudge you in the right direction. Starting today, any new member who signs up can use the code HEYITSFREE to earn two free swag bucks, which will be added to the three swag bucks already offered to new members, thus giving you five swag bucks starting out! For reference, a $5 Amazon giftcard costs 45 swag bucks, so you'll already be 11% of the way to getting your first prize. But that's just one example, they have hundreds of prizes to choose from and dozens of different gift card options.

I usually average around 2-3 swag bucks a day though my normal search habits, which takes me about 15-20 days to earn a prize. Just think how many giftcards you'd have by now had you signed up when I first wrote about Swagbucks in January!

The code expires at midnight PST on Wednesday, so you've got almost two days to sign up and use the code. For people who are already members of Swagbucks, feel free to leave a comment with your opinions on the site. I'm interested in hearing what others think!

Swagbucks: Free Prizes For Searching

Updated: Jul 9, 2019 · Posted on · Disclosure Policy

For the past 10+ years, Swagbucks has been one of the leading websites to pay you to make Internet searches. I've personally used them for over a decade now and have probably earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 in Amazon giftcards.

Now before I go any further, let me just say one thing. There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be using Swagbucks. If you routinely search for things online via a typical search engine, then you're searching without the possibility of winning something. Any time you search on Google, your odds of winning a prize is 0%. Even if your odds of winning a prize on these two sites are 0.01%, that's better than nothing, no? Plus, given the facts that most people make multiple searches a day and that winning percentages are higher than that small number, you're essentially throwing away money if you're not using either one of these sites.

In addition, I could swear I win more often with Swagbucks. Of course this is highly unscientific and subjective, but while researching this article, I won $2 Swagbucks ($1 Swagbuck and then another 15 minutes later). Now while those can't be redeemed for anything worthwhile on their own, you only need 45 Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon giftcard. Given that you start out with $3 Swagbucks when you sign up, I'm already 11% of the way there after 1 day.

Now, it's not all rainbows and gumdrops with Swagbucks. The biggest drawback is the sponsored ads mixed in with the search results. As some of you might remember, that's what killed Blingo and Winzy many years ago. Both, as luck would have it, actually cut back on the ads mixed in with the search results. Guess they learned their lesson a bit too late when so many people jumped ship. As it stands now, they've got 4 sponsored ads in the search results. That's kind of a pain, but as I type this, right hand to God, I just won another Swagbuck. It's not even noon and I've got $3 Swagbucks under my belt for the day. I can put up with clearly marked sponsored ads in my search results if my winning average stays this high.

So for now, I'm drinking the Swagbucks Flavor Aid. Are you going to make millions? No. Are you going to make hundreds? Doubtful. But is there the opportunity to win enough Swagbucks every month to snag a free giftcard or two? Heck yes. Can the same be said for using Google or Yahoo?

Exactly.
