Help support Checkout Chicks! I created a small Amazon store with coupon organizers and cookbooks in it as well as some books in the “Women Managing Money” category. Let me know if there are other products or categories you’d like to see added.

Cellfire - another e-coupon site

Posted on December 4th, 2008 in Coupon Resources, e-coupons by sharon

I’ve been checking out Cellfire and wanted to share my findings with you. At first, I was a bit hesitant to use them because they are a cell phone e-coupon provider. For some reason, I couldn’t wrap my brain around the concept of receiving coupons on my cell phone. I worried about data usage fees and such.

Such needless worrying!

You sign up with their site and can have your coupons transferred to your customer loyalty card.

Access offers from anywhere with Cellfire on your phone!
You can manage and redeem all Cellfire offers using your phone. To do so, you need to setup Cellfire on your phone.

To use Cellfire on your phone, you must have internet access on your phone.

Don’t want to setup Cellfire on your phone?
Our grocery offers can be used without a phone by saving them to your loyalty card right here on our website. If they are available in your area you can start saving now.

Cellfire allows you to save up to 50 coupons on your card.  These are the regular grocery store coupons you see on other e-coupon types of sites.  In addition, there are other deals for various retailers in your area you can access as well.

I used a Huggies e-coupon from Cellfire and it worked like a charm.  I planned on taking a picture of the receipt to give you a visual but I think my husband threw the receipt out in an effort to declutter the kitchen. Oops!  The line item on the receipt said, “CLLFR” or something similar next to the discounted amount. I’ll take a picture right away the next time!

Have you used Cellfire?  Leave a comment and tell us about it!

Time to update your e-coupons

Posted on December 3rd, 2008 in e-coupons by sharon

Keep your saver-cards up to date with the most recent e-coupons. Remember, you can stack these e-coupons with paper manufacturer coupons for added savings!

Shortcuts.com - Be sure to add all the individual coupons before you add the “meal”. Shortcuts.com gives you a max of 20 coupons on your savings card. But if adding the meal pushes you over 20, they will still add all the meal related e-coupons.

UPromise - Keep in mind that it can take up to 8 weeks to credit your UPromise account once you use the e-coupon.  Log into your UPromise account and mouse over “Earn Rewards”. Choose the eCoupons and click.

P&G eSaver

Once you’ve loaded your savings club card, be sure to print out a list of your e-coupons from each site.  This will help you make sure to purchase the correct product. A $1.50 e-coupon for Huggies Jumbo pack is great, especially when you can pair that with a $1.00 manufacturer coupon. But if you buy the Mega pack, your e-coupon won’t work.  Keep that printed list in your coupon organizer so you always purchase the correct product.
