Nicole's Savings Advantage - $50 worth of FREE Gift Cards


Nicole's Savings Advantage
is a website where you can save up to 75% on stores like Target, Office Depot, Wal-Mart, and Starbucks...on brands like Polo, Nike, Chanel, and HP...on travel, apparel, pharmaceuticals, electronics, etc.

You can try out their $2.95 1 month trial offer and in return get 2 free $25 gift card outs of it! $25 Target GC and later a $25 Starbucks GC. That's a total of $50 worth of gift cards for an investment of just $2.95 to sign up for their 1 month trial!

What is Nicole's Savings Advantage?!
It's an exclusive club that gives members access to special shopping discounts. If you register HERE for their $2.95 1 month trial, they'll send you a free $25 Target gift card and $25 Starbucks gift card! If you decide to remain a member after the trial period they will bill you $9.95 per month. The best part is that if you don't like the program you can cancel at anytime with NO further obligation and still get the gift cards!

You will receive your membership information in the mail first (about 3 weeks) and then a day or 2 later you'll receive the gift card request form. You will then need to fill it out and mail it back in. Once they receive the form it will take a week to process and then your free gift cards should be on the way.

Also, you do NOT have to be a member after mailing in your gift card request form. I decided this program wasn't worth the $9.95 per month and canceled prior to my trial ending. People have still received their giftcards even after they have canceled. So it works!!
