Quick Deals: Sam’s Club for College Students, and the Entertainment Book
Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to check out my about page to find out why I started this blog, and if you like what you see, please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Two quick deals worth mentioning today — the first is a promotion that Sam’s Club is running for college students, and the second is a great price for 2008 Entertainment Books.
Sam’s Club Collegiate Membership
Sam’s Club, the membership-only discount warehouse club, is currently offering a great promotion for college students. While there is no discount on the $40 membership fee, college students get a free $15 gift certificate when they sign up. The Advantage Membership also includes a free second membership card for another person at your address, so you can effectively split the membership with another roommate at no extra cost. Sam’s Club can be a great way to save money on food and other household items, and has proven a lifesaver for me when throwing large events.
To take advantage of this promotion, you need to bring a student id-card and a .edu email address into a Sam’s Club, and they’ll get you all set-up.
Quick Tip: Sam’s Club will only accept MasterCard and Discover Credit Cards. If you want to earn cash-back on Sam’s Club purchases using your credit card, try this: run on over to your Wal-Mart, which should sell Sam’s Club gift certificates that you can purchase with your credit card. Sound like too much trouble? In many markets, Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart are located close together, not surprising given that they are sister companies!
Entertainment Book Discounts
It’s that time of the year! The Entertainment Book — the regional publication with all those coupons — is currently being heavily discounted as most of the coupons are set to expire in November. However, most of the national coupons are good through the end of the year. My favorite national coupon in the book is the coupon good for 5% off one American Airlines itinerary. At $10 for the book, the discount off any American flight over $200 will pay for the book on its own!
The best deal I’ve seen so far comes through FatWallet.com, where if you register and go to their Entertainment Book page, you’ll find a link offering the Entertainment Book for $7.99 + $1.99 shipping, with a $5.50 cash back offer. That leaves the final price under $5 after cash back!
So pick up the 2008 Entertainment Book and score some discount movie tickets and some national travel cocupons!
