Planning a Frugal Wedding Giveaway: Win a $25 Macy’s Gift Card

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009


Since I got engaged in January, I’ve been sharing all the wedding-related special offers and freebies that I’ve found. So when M80 and Macy’s told me about their wedding registry rebate and offered to give one Super Coupon Girl reader a $25 gift card, I thought it would be a fun thing to share in my “Frugal Wedding” series!

From September 23rd through October 4th, Macy’s Wedding and Gift Registry are offering a $25 mail-in rebate. Here are the details:

“Macy’s Wedding and Gift Registry is offering a $25 rebate for eligible tabletop and houseware purchases of $150 or greater, from one of 30 participating vendors like Lenox, Waterford, Kate Spade, the Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood, and Anolon and Circulon. This rebate is available to anyone shopping off a Macy’s wedding registry, whether it be the registered couple themselves or their friends and family, between September 23rd and October 4th. This is the perfect opportunity for friends and family to get their favorite couple a wonderful wedding gift.

Rebate forms can be found in-store at any Macy’s Wedding & Gift Registry department or at macys-reg.weddingchannel.com/offers. Purchasers simply need to mail-in their original receipt and a copy of the couple’s registry to the specific vendor’s address found on the second page of the rebate form. The $25 rebate check will be mailed within 60 days.

And take home more while spending less with Macy’s buy 3 get 1 free offer. You can purchase five-piece fine china place settings, stemware and five-piece stainless flatware place settings.”

If you had planned on making a large purchase off a Macy’s registry anyway, now is the time to do it, since the rebate ends tomorrow!

Macy’s would also like to give away a $25 gift card to one reader. I’ve noticed a lot of sales and clearance items that are under $25, so you can score a nice deal with this! Here’s how to enter:

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I have some fun wedding freebies to share with you today:

Sign up for a Bloomingdale’s registry, and receive a free subscription to Inside Weddings just for registering! Just click here to enter your registry number and receive your complimentary subscription. Bridal magazines tend to be expensive, so I love these free subscription offers – one issue of Inside Weddings normally costs $12.00!!!

Thank you to Freebie Blogger for the info on this deal. She also has some information about registry freebies at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Khol’s. When you register for certain items, you have the option of mailing in forms to claim various freebies – it could be worth looking into if you’re creating a registry at those stores anyway.

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming For a Special Announcement

Friday, January 16th, 2009

This post has nothing to do with coupons, but I wanted to share some exciting personal news with you – Jai and I got engaged at the beginning of the month! Click here to see our engagement announcement that ran in the local paper. So what kind of wedding does a coupon clipper have? As you may have guessed, I’m not the type to drop a huge amount of money on a ceremony, but I still plan on having my dream wedding. I am confident that I can find creative ways to save money without sacrificing style or fun on the big day. Fortunately, I have some time to plan!

As I continue to chronicle my journey in frugality on this blog, I will keep you updated on my wedding budget and share money-saving ideas for other brides-to-be. For anyone else who is beginning to plan a wedding, I recommend signing up for Bon-Ton Wedding Gift Registry. They offer several freebies for registering – you get a free wedding planning binder just for signing up, which I definitely need! They also offer incentives for adding specific items to your registry. Right now, you can get a free servall and spoon rest sent to you when you register for certain collections – check out their current offers here. This is yet another deal that I found on Hot Coupon World!
Heads-up: I got an error message when I tried to create my registry in Firefox. I called their support hotline and they told me that their website is only compatible with Internet Explorer; so, you may need to switch browsers before you can sign up.
