Stick with me…this one works!

Purchase $25 worth of toys from Amazon in one order. (Even better, pick ones that qualify for Free Super Saver Shipping.) Now, when you place your order, you will be offered (via email) a free 24 month subscription to Cookie magazine. Decline it and ask for the cash value instead. They will mail you a check for $15. Essentially, a rebate! So….$25 worth of toys at Amazon, for $10!! And free shipping if you play your cards right! Look for the Cookie magazine icon is toy listings to make sure its part of the offer.

Christmas shopping, anyone?

UPDATE: I want to add some deals I'm finding, as this looks to be one of those great Amazon holiday deals!

There are lots of toys on sale right now. Almost every toy I'm looking at has the Cookie logo on it, meaning they qualify for the deal. But if you're smart you can maximize this deal. For example, Lego Bionicles are featured Buy 2 get 1 free--they qualify for the Cookie $15 rebate AND Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25! Hasbro is running a deal on get a Mr Potato Head Free WYB participating products. Well, I see a Tonka Toughest Truck on sale for $28--it comes with the free shipping, the free Mr Potato Head, AND the $15 Cookie rebate deal! I'm going to keep looking and come back and post what I find!

Let me also add this from Amazon's website, on how to get the rebate.Â (BTW, Amazon does these rebate/subscriptions all the time--its not a new tactic.)Â As you shop you can see the details of the offer, but here's the fine print on the rebate itself:

Offer & Refund detailsTo take advantage of this promotion, simply respond as instructed above. If you are a new subscriber, you will receive your first issue in 6-8 weeks. If you already subscribe to Cookie, 24 months will be added to your current subscription. If you do not wish to take advantage of the offer, do no not fill out the form.

At the end of the subscription period, you will have the option to renew your subscription, or do nothing and allow your subscription to end.

Offer valid for US subscribers only. Limit one subscription per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery of your first issue.

If you would like a rebate for your 20-issue subscription (a $15.00 value) as part of your purchase, mail a completed copy of the subscription form below with a copy of your Amazon.com order confirmation within 30 days, to: Amazon Special Offer, PO Box 37722, Boone, IA 50037-0722.

Where do you see the Cookie magazine icon? Is it after you select a toy to check out?

For a limited time, spend $25 on Toys and get a 2-year subscription to Cookie Magazine.

Theresa, it says it can be up to 8 days.

Terri, If you click on the Toys page, up pops an ad. They rotate, so reload until you get the Mr Potato Head one. Or, surf through some of the various toys…I belive the Tonka trucks had the offer on them as well.
