SHUTTERFLY PRICING & SHIPPING
http://www.shutterfly.com/help/pop/pricing.jsp

=======================================================================================
There are three types of Shutterfly coupon codes:

1 - Account Codes - Shutterfly adds a code to your account and, depending on your email preferences, emails you to alert you to the offer. This is not transferable - the offer is tied to that Shutterfly account.

Make sure you tell Shutterfly to email you and you won't miss any deals. If you find deals in your account that you did not see in email - check your preferences.

* Go to My Shutterfly
* Go to the bottom and click on Personal Info/Settings
* Click on change under Email Preferences
* Make sure that the first box is checked
* Save now

A recent development in the Shutterfly world, probably in response to all the selling on eBay and trading on forums like this, where the offer code is emailed to the customer AND they have to add it to their account - it is not always added automatically by Shutterfly. The codes are typically 6-8 characters and look exactly like the shareable codes -- but they will only work on the accounts that Shutterfly chose to email this offer to.

2 - Shareable Codes - Shutterfly has some codes that are offered to affiliates/partners. These coupons can be shared and used in multiple accounts (once per account). Examples of what these codes look like are NMSA-XXXX or WIXXER09.

3 - Unique One time use codes - Shutterfly also offers one time use codes, typically they are 18 alphanumeric characters long, that come with special offers. These codes may be emailed to you or included in a printed card when you get a Shutterfly shipment. They may be won via Shutterfly contests. They may come from Shutterfly or from partner offers. Often times you can see these codes being sold on eBay. Examples of what these codes look like XXXX-7H9P-EBFX-V39VEC.

===============================================================================================
Membership/Frequent Flier Programs
If you participate in these you may be able to get rebates or bonuses:

* Upromise - shop thru link and get 7% in your account - they often have other discounts as well
* eebates you can get a percentage of your order value credited (The program eebates has one less e, but if you type the real name this site will block it)
* Discover reward cards also give 5% back on shutterfly.com purchases when you shop thru their link - also you can use your Discover Cash Back to get $25 gift card to shutterfly for only $20 (comes in the mail - not instant)
* Northwest World Perks - earn 2 miles per $ when shop thru link on world perk website
* United Mileage Plus - earn 3 miles per $ when shop thru link on mileage plus website
* Delta Sky Miles - earn 10 miles per $ when shop thru link (plus earn 1000 miles until 12/31 when you spend $20 or more - see link at Sky Miles for more details)

We had an fun day here. Lots of family time today, which was nice! We gave Lily her first bath at home. She HATED it! laugh out loud Alexa and Sophia helped out and J and Junie took pics and video! Then we did a small photo shoot of her while she was alert and calm. We got a few nice ones (posted on FB) and one that I really liked for her announcements. J thinks we can do better, so he wants to try again another day. IDK, we shall see. I will attach the pic I like for the announcements and you can tell me what you think of it as 'the pic.'


Yes, next time I am sooo getting a lazy boy! I did 'graduate' today to being able to put the foot rest back on my own! Yahoo! I am hoping to try and sleep in my own bed!

Next time??? EEK!

The pic is beautiful but to be honest I don't like one of her hands...heart

Nice pic Ariel. I agree that I noticed one hand is funky but that is a baby. It will be fine if you choose to use it. But listen to Daddy too. You could always try again and see what comes up. She is so pretty!

Hey all. Apparently we killed Osama Bin Laden. I checked the date to make sure it isn't April fools day, and I doubt May first or second has any meaning, but how about that?

You go girl !!

Quote from Kootz :
bouncebouncebounce I am right with you... I am up 5 pounds from my usual satisfactory weight but lost 1.5 this week.
Sucks having no "fruit" though
You go girl !!

Quote from chrrrrris :
Did anyone do anything for May Day? Katie and I went to church last night after everyone was gone and put a Nestles Crunch in each box with a Happy May Day Label. It was fun. Doone helped with the candybars so It was from all of us. Some people knew it was us but most didn't. The funny part is that DH (who knew I had boxes of these candy bars and knows we do May Day every year) was wondering who did that. He can be so clueless! laugh out loud I guess since there was one in our mailbox too it must not have been us. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

My husband was clueless too!! I have all kind of candy bars and he wanted that one?? Is because it was in the church mailbox that makes it more special !!drool
Now since I don't have to work we might have to do a little ring and running tonight. hmmm...need to think on that one.
We did May "Blessing" Baskets for Sunday school this morning. The people that we brought them to love them and were excited about them. We went to Fieldcrest Assistant Living (ladies from our church) and to the Village (handicapped/disability) people that attend our church. Our 5th grades (8 of them) were also excited. It was funwoot

Hello Everyone. We hit 30 weeks today! YIPPEEE!!! But if you've seen my FB, you know that I am freaking out over dh's trip to Morocco next month. Since this is a public forum, I can't get into specifics, but let's just say that when I found out that the trip as still on and work said he had to go, it was the angriest I've ever gotten at him (and you guys that know me well know that dh and I do not fight, and he's actually one of the most laid back people and caring dads/husbands ever)

He is up for tenure this year, and budget cuts are steep, so we are walking on pins and needles until that letter arrives. There was a terrorist bombing just a few days ago in a very popular cafe for tourists (dh had actually eaten there when he was there last time) but they are being assured that it was an isolated incident, and Morocco is actually very safe.

Not to mention that I will be 9 farking months pregnant next month, and Daniel came 3 weeks early, so there is a very good chance Maddie could come early. They are allowing him to cut his trip in half so there is no chance he will miss baby's birth, but we will still be gone 13 days, and not to sound selfish, but he really needs to be home taking care of his family and not in farking Africa. Sorry for the rant, but I've been so angry that I haven't even been able to talk about it, and now that this has happened, I'm close to going over the edge, and he has alot of colleagues and friends as my FB friends, so I can't really talk about it on FB. Mad So farking angry at him right now. MadMad

I can understand your hesitation with DH's trip at this point in your pregnancy. Wish I could come over and help you while he is gone! I'll be praying for things to go smoothly for you while he is gone. What is it that DH will be doing in Morocco? Maybe you can't tell me on here, if so you could PM me. I'm happy to listen to any rants!

Is his work making him go? If he doesn't have a choice I can understand him going, speaking as someone who's DH has been unemployed for 2 years, now is not a good time to risk your job.

Yeah, my mom is saying that I need to not be doing so much but I've never been one to take it easy. If I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I'm full speed ahead until I get there.

Yes, Kellie is who you sent the diapers & wipes to. I think I forgot to tell you what she said - first she sent me an email asking if it was me that sent her an enormous amount of diapers & wipes (she thought it was me since I had asked her a few days before what size diapers they were in). I told her yes but that my friends had some extra codes and helped out with them since I told them her story and they were a super good deal. Then she sent me a very heartfelt thank you note in the mail. She said they showed up at just the right time because they were just about out and how wonderful it felt to have someone provide them with a necessity. No, she doesn't live close to me. She lives in our hometown which is about 7 hours from here. I do try to see her every time we go back to my parents though so I do see her several times a year. I wish so badly that we lived closer together because we have shared many of the same heartaches in life and it is so nice to have someone understand you during those times. We have helped each other through many of those times but being able to actually be there and help her out would be so nice. I sent her a virtual hug since that was the best I could do right now. You are right that sometimes a big hug is the best medicine.

PS - Oprah can go suck an egg!

Another PS - Great job on the weight loss!!!
What a shame that you are not close by but I know your virtual hugs can work wonders sometimes. I hope everything turns out well for her and for you.

Oprah is a meanie...Mad

As far as the weight loss. It's just not fun losing when I don't have you to look at my feet every week. LMAO

It's probably going to come right back on again this weekend. My gf is turning 50 and her sister is "borrowing" her boss's beach house for the weekend at New Smyrna Beach so "fruit" will flow...
Quote from abczoo :
Hi! It is always those tidbits from the emails I get that brings me back here. Still wishing I had time to read and keep up with everything with you guys like I used to. So, the thing that caught my eye was the post above and the mention of the 1-800 flowers peelies fiasco. I have a few of those ... but they are long expired.... Kootz - you are still able to use them?
I fought and fought late last year before they expired and finally had email contact with the so called boss. I faxed in a bunch of peelies and they honored them with new codes that don't expire until this Dec. laugh out loud

So farking angry at him right now. Mad
I am so sorry Coachie BUT why are you angry at him?

It's not his fault that he has to go. He is taking care of his family by going in order to keep his job

It's only sort of his fault that you became preggers at the time when you know he does this trip every year.

It's not his fault that he has to do this trip in order to provide for his family while many people are losing theirs.

You can be mad at the world and mad at the situation right now BUT

Only be sad and a little frightful for D. I am sure he feeling the stress of it all also

I wish you were closer so I can help...Kissgrin

Is his work making him go? If he doesn't have a choice I can understand him going, speaking as someone who's DH has been unemployed for 2 years, now is not a good time to risk your job.
He is the only one that can do it, but I think that he didn't try that hard to find a replacement, kwim? He really loves Africa, and I think given the choice he would still choose to go, which is why I'm so angry at him. But he is up for tenure, and it is his job, which is why I'm trying to be supportive.

What a shame that you are not close by but I know your virtual hugs can work wonders sometimes. I hope everything turns out well for her and for you.

Oprah is a meanie...Mad

As far as the weight loss. It's just not fun losing when I don't have you to look at my feet every week. LMAO

It's probably going to come right back on again this weekend. My gf is turning 50 and her sister is "borrowing" her boss's beach house for the weekend at New Smyrna Beach so "fruit" will flow...

I fought and fought late last year before they expired and finally had email contact with the so called boss. I faxed in a bunch of peelies and they honored them with new codes that don't expire until this Dec. laugh out loud

I know, you're right. And I've been mad at him on the inside, mostly. Believe me, he went to work happy thins morning. Wink

And this is why i need you guys- to put things into perspective for me. nod I am selfish, and terrified of going into labor all alone.

speaking as an L&D nurse, I can tell you the men in the delivery room are pretty usless laugh out loud That being said, for the perspective part, I can say that I have delivered many a baby were the daddy wasn't around and I don't mean that he just didn't show up. Had a couple of women where their DH died during their pregnancy......super sad. Two had the big C and one was a soilder that was killed in action. There were a few soliders wives who's DH couldn't get leave and the women were "hoping" he'd be able to make it home in a week or two.

Not selfish but I know you are terrified as I would be in your situation.

My advice would be to share this rant with only your neighbor friends on FB. This way they will make sure you are well taken care of when he is gone.

You will not be alone. I am sure many of the mommies you know will be there for you. hug
