Okay, I didn’t believe this until I did it! I just got $20 in Melissa and Doug products for free. Here is what you need to do:
- Sign up for a Gilt shopping account. Within 10 or so minutes, you will get a $20 credit into your account
*Click on “Account” at the top, then in the left sidebar click on “Account Credits”. Once it is in, you will see it there.
UPDATE: You need to use this link, not the one above. So sorry for confusion! - Proceed to the “Children” tab and click on Melissa and Doug in the drop down. Pick your item around $13.
- Shipping is $7.95.
- Your item is FREE!!
Thanks, Adventures in Savings!
It’s been over 15 minutes, I guess the promotion ended 🙁
Nvm, I figured it out at the Adventures in Savings blog. You have to use the nationals link, not your referral link. All the freebies were gone by the time I got it to work but I got the train for $2 total! Thanks!
what’s the nationals link? and if I already signed up under the link provided, will I still beable to get in on the deal?
Kelly updated the instructions above! I was able to sign up for a second account using my husband’s email address and it worked just fine.
Thanks! I got it 🙂
This deal gets better!
Sign in to your account – before you place your order, click on the link at the top of the page that says “invite friends”.
If you invite 10 (non-member) friends, by listing their e-mails, prior to placing your first order you get free shipping! This CAN be combined with the $20 credit!
I just did it with two of the hang-man games (now sold out). I now have two GREAT free gifts to put in the gift closet for when my Kindergartener gets invited to b-day parties!
I tried this offer and the credits have yet to show up. I followed the link and it’s been about 20 minutes. Any suggestions?
did not work for me, but if you refer friends you are supposed to get a 25.00 credit so maybe I at least got someone else a credit for signing up under the link above.
so, I did all of that about 30 min ago and do not have a credit. hmmm…
am I not doing something right? my credit isn’t showing up and it’s been about 30 minutes??
Ok, I signed up about 30 minutes ago, but so far no credit. I hope this will work! Would LOVE to get a toy for my youngest!!!!
It’s not working for me.
It did not work for me either. It tells me the website is unavailable when I click the second link you told us to click. What’s wrong?
I did this one too. Even got free shipping!
I have the worst luck ever and I just did it! The cheapest stuff is gone, but I got the Prince and Princess magnetic dress up set for only $3.95! It was already on our list! 🙂
I just did it and it worked for me as well! We entered in 10 friends/family emails and got a free shipping voucher as well. I just got my nephew a cute band in a box set… and it was free 🙂
Thank you for passing along offers like this!
my hubby did it as well just now. we got the bowling set for 6.95! not baaaad!
THANK YOU Shawn B!!! I just got one of the candles (under the “Home” tab, click on “Burn Candles.”) TOTALLY free!! It was $14 to start with, but I followed Shawn’s advice and invited 10 friends (they don’t have to sign up–just put in 10 email addresses!) and got FREE SHIPPING!! They took off my $20 credit (well, $14 of it…) and I got free shipping!! Thanks Shawn!!
It’s pretty obvious, but with this added to the deal, you could pick out something that is actually equal to $20 since you wouldn’t need to use the credit to cover the shipping. There are tons of things around $20 on the website–even if you don’t get something Melissa & Doug!
I got the Melissa and Doug Magic Kit for 3.95! Nice!
says the link does not exist i signed up yesterday and still don’t have credit ;(
The new link says not found for me. And the other link did not get a $20 credit. Oh well.
The second link doesn’t work.
The second link did not work for me. It said it was not available. What’s up? I love Melissa & Doug, so I was excited; not I am bummed.
Apparently they pulled the campaign to get the free $20 credit for the second day. You can still earn rewards by referring friends.
Is this company legit? At first the charges were on my online bank statement, now they have disappeared. My bank had them listed as having a “hold” on them as of yesterday. Anyone else having weird issues?? Hoping this was not a scam…
No Alice it is not a scam. Many companies place a “hold” on funds until the transaction goes through.
Glad to hear it. I have never waited this long for a transaction to go through before. Still waiting! I guess I want these presents more than my kids…lol
