TD Bank Summer Reading Program: Free $10 for Kids

1 Comment

TD BANK SUMMER READING PROGRAM – The offer below is back for 2014 and is valid June 1 through August 31, 2014. (Note: The terms at the bottom still have the 2013 information, but we have been advised it will get updated with the 2014 dates and is valid for this year)

I love the idea of teaching children at a young age the value of money management. One of my biggest regrets about going to school, both in High School and in College, was that I did not take a money management class. Honestly, taking a class was not even an option at our High School. That is why I love the new program from TD Bank, even though it is just a minor step towards education.

The program is nice and simple. Read 10 books this summer, fill out a form and take it to your local TD Bank branch office, and they will deposit $10 into your child’s account.

We were also provided with a copy of the 2014 Summer Reading brochure, which is a nice little worksheet.

Unfortunately, we do not live anywhere there is a local branch office, so we will not be able to partake in this offer. However, I was curious what the current interest rates were for the Young Savers account, which is currently listed as 0.05% APY.

I asked my representative if I could even open an account over the phone or internet, and here is what I was told. If I was an existing TD Bank account holder, I could open up a new Young Savers account; however, if you are not an existing member, you need to open an account in person at a local branch office.

My Coke Rewards Discounted Cedar Fair Tickets

Leave a comment

MY COKE REWARDS DISCOUNTED CEDAR FAIR TICKETS – Today is your last chance, at least for this flash sale, to acquire your 2014 Cedar Fair amusement park tickets for an incredible discount from My Coke Rewards (MCR). The standard Cedar Fair ticket from MCR is 1,000 points; however, during the current flash sale, guests save an incredible 75% off, by only requiring 250 points per ticket.

MCR Cedar Fair May 1, 2014 Flash Sale

Tickets are valid for a single day during regular operating hours thru Labor Day, September 1, 2014.

Tickets are valid at the following park:

  • Cedar Point
  • Cedar Point’s Soak City
  • Carowinds
  • Dorney Park
  • California’s Great America
  • Kings Dominion
  • Kings Island
  • Knott’s Berry Farm
  • Knott’s Soak City – Orange County
  • Michigan’s Adventure
  • Valleyfair
  • Wildwater Kingdom
  • Worlds of Fun

Here is the real kicker. This flash sale is only limited to one (1) per account. The idea is to make tickets available for everyone. The problem for our family is we stacked all of our points into one account in anticipation of these flash sales, which in the past were not limited.

The workaround, for possible future sales, is to open multiple accounts for your family.

1. Take digital code to www.cfparkrewards.com.
2. Scroll through the parks highlighted to desired park. Click on Park’s image.

You may add up to 10 1-day tickets to cart using 10 separate codes. You may not place more than one MCR 2 Pack or MCR 4 Pack in your cart.
5. After entering valid code(s), click ‘Secure Checkout’
6. Click ‘Continue’
7. Enter your contact information -Note: while tab says “”credit card info,”” you are not required to enter credit card #.

• In the event that a duplicate ticket appears, the Park reserves the right to refuse entry to all ticket holders.

This promotion ends tonight at midnight, so claim your tickets now before it is too late.

Hershey aMAYzing Savings

HersheyPark aMAYzing Savings Event; Is it Worth The Cost?

Leave a comment

HERSHEYPARK AMAYZING SAVINGS – The best year-round ticket deal to HersheyPark is typically the Boy Scout offer, with tickets costing only:

  • Regular (ages 9-54) – just $41.10
  • Junior/Senior (ages 3-8 or 55-69) – just $32.25
  • Senior (ages 70+) – just $21.50

However, is there a cheaper option to get tickets?

HersheyPark is currently advertising their aMAYzining Savings event, promising the “lowest price.”

2014 aMAYzing Savings

For guests looking to travel to Hershey before July 31, 2014, HersheyPark offers the aMAYzing Savings event.

Save in May, play another day! Purchase your family’s HERSHEYPARK admission tickets online by May 31 for the lowest price available with adult tickets for $40.25 and Jr/Sr tickets for $34.40 (plus tax).

So I was curious which offer might be better, afterall, adult tickets appeared cheaper (and Jr/Sr more pricey) through Hershey.

I ran a sample of 1 adult and 1 Jr ticket through each promotion.

Boyscout offer:
2014 Hershey Park Boyscout Offer

aMAYzing offer:
2014 Hershey Park aMAYzing Offer

Clearly, one can see the best offer continues to be the Boyscout promotion, let alone that you are helping a good cause.

Know of a better Hershey offer? Let us know.
