100 Free Note Cards
Advertisement
Right now VistaPrint is offering 100 Post Cards for FREE when you pay the $6.55 shipping and sign up with them. I do not need 100 post cards... but I could use some generic family Thank You notes so I searched through the designs and created this one for our family:
There are so many designs to choose from. I liked this one then added my own text. These will be great to put in packages that I ship to contest winners on SuperJenn, to hand out to my kids' teachers and, and, and...
Don't need any note cards for yourself? What about making some up and giving them as a wedding or shower gift? A monogrammed note card for the new couple would be a nice inclusion to your gift. I'm considering having some made up and saving them to give to my sister for Christmas!
There is an option of ordering matching envelopes when you are ready to checkout, if you order the plain white they are $3.49 for 100. I ordered these so I could also send these Thank You cards to friends and family when we receive gifts.
The "slow" shipping option is $6.55 without envelopes and $7.03 with them.
I routinely tell people that if they are going to sign up for free samples or online coupons, it is best to get an entirely separate email account for these purposes. I would use that email address when signing up for this freebie. VistaPrint is notorious for filling your inbox with offers for their services....almost daily. You can most certainly unsubscribe to the emails when they start showing up.

Why pay for shipping for "Free" note cards when you can do it yourself with a Print Shop software program at home? I make business cards, birthday cards, etc. and the software has paid for itself now.

Perhaps the software has paid for itself but you have ink costs + paper costs to figure in. On top of that, depending on your printer, it may not give you the professional look you need. So, depending on your needs, it may be worth paying shipping only.
Plus, they are an inexpensive & practical idea for a gift.
I do as you do & print my own but I really don't need to crank out 100 notecards or more than a couple cards every now & then.

VistaPrint gets their pound of flesh for their freebies...the shipping is generally outrageous and it is a challenge to get through their checkout process without getting signed up for an expensive "discount" program or a bunch of upcharges for the freebies you're trying to order. To say nothing of the amount of telemarketing and e-mail spam they do. I'm not a fan, I'm afraid.

Not trying to be rude or a jerk with my comment, but Vista Print sponsors Glenn Beck, so if anyone is not okay with that you might want to do some research before using their services. Otherwise it might be an okay deal. But like Bunny said, be ware the e-mail spam. It is awful!
