Cross Pens Review


As a member of BzzAgent I recently joined the Cross Pen campaign where I received a free pen. Prior to joining the campaign I was already familiar with Cross pen. I received one awhile back and I loved it. Since I work on computer for a living I don’t have a chance to write much anymore. However, given the chance I would love to start writing journals with the pen I received. I started using the stylish pen to take notes in meetings and you can’t go wrong with Cross pen as they are smooth, elegant, and clean. Combine that with great service and price it is definitely a good gift for newly graduates or dad. You can save 20% right now on regular-priced items and get free shipping with coupon code “SHOPCROSS”. If you prefer to visit an actual store, you can check it out here.

Disclaimer: I am a member of BzzAgent where I receive free or discount products in exchange of sharing my experience with my friends and families. The opinion of this post is 100% mine and I wasn’t compensated except for receiving a free pen.

One Day Sale – Lady Gaga Album Download For .99

Amazon is having a deal on Lady Gaga Album Download today (5/23) where you can download Born This Way album for just 99 cents!  I think Lady Gaga is a really talented singer and performer.  Even though she has gotten a little bit weird for me in some instance (e.g. wearing meat).  Nevertheless I like the message that the song “Born This Way” is trying to convey to young people.  If you are a Lady Gaga fan and hasn’t bought the album yet, be sure to check it out!

Awesome deal!

PlayStation Network Customer Appreciation Program

I am sure by now everyone is aware of playstation network being hacked a month ago leading the network to be down for the past couple weeks. It seems like Sony is trying to make it back to its users by offering two free PS3 games from the following list:

  • Dead Nation
  • inFAMOUS
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Super Stardust HD
  • Wipeout HD + Fury

The news was posted on PlayStation blog and the games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored.  I have been able to access my PlayStation Network in the past couple days so I assume the problem is resolved.  If you are a PlayStation Network user, be sure to get your free games before the offer expires!

Angry Birds for Chrome Review

Are you sick of playing angry bird yet?  Who knew the allure of shooting birds at boxes, pigs and flowers would be so addictive.  I recently purchased an iPad2 and it definitely is a game that I enjoyed playing.  However, what happens if you don’t have a smart phone or tablet?  You are in luck as Rivio, maker of Angry Birds, decided to offer the game tailor toward the Chrome browser (you can actually play it with any browser as long as you enable data to be stored off line) for free.  The game will include a few custom touches such as Google bombs, color schemes and the Mighty Eagle feature.  Unfortunately not all the features will be available as Rivio is waiting for Google to make Android applications payment system available so they can get paid for their specific features.

In comparison to the iPad verison, the web version contains a lot more level and the level starts off a lot easier.  For those of you who have some spare time, enjoy!

 

Earn Amazon Gift Card with Bing Rewards


Every month I receive somewhere between $20 ~ $30 worth of Amazon gift cards from different reward programs. I receive Amazon gift card constantly from Swagbucks and Communispace (Two of my favorite programs), but lately I have been using Bing Rewards as well. Bing Rewards is a reward program offered by Microsoft that enables to you receive reward points for searches using Bing.com, setting home page to Bing and try out additional Bing related features. When you sign up you’ll automatically receive 250 FREE credits! Once you have enough credits you can redeem a reward at the Redemption Center! I usually just redeem for Amazon gift cards but if you want to get a physical item the shipping is free!

Since you don’t win by search but rather receive a set number of points a daily depending on the number of searches, it is very easy to calculate how much points you can have. While you will not accumulate points as fast as Swagbucks it is still much better than the typical PTC site. At the end of the day for me, nothing beats free gift cards!
