A lot of people have been asking to see the swag we picked up at the San Diego Comic-Con so here’s a sampling. Everything on this table was free. I’ll be posting a more thorough look at all of this, plus a bunch of posters, plus a bunch of stuff that we bought soon.

TweetWEEKEND WEB: Free Movie Screenings
I rarely go to movie theaters anymore. Prices are too high, seats are often uncomfortable, people are rude, and there are far too many technical difficulties to be found that ruin the movie-watching experience. However, I might put up with (some of) that if I receive offers for…
Free Movie Screenings
Thanks to @JeremiahDaws (Twitter link), I am now signed up on these two sites:
Both of these sites claim to provide free movie screening offers to their members, some even in advance of the films’ nationwide release dates.
In college, I used to receive free movie screening passes in my campus mailbox from time to time. I have no idea why, but I took advantage of them. Now, I hope that these two sites allow me to start seeing free movies again… as long as movie theater owners (and patrons) can clean up their acts and make the whole experience enjoyable.
TweetWEEKEND WEB: e-Rewards Means Free Video Games and More
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of web sites out there that ask visitors to fill out a survey in exchange for being entered into a drawing to win something for free. Unfortunately, there’s usually only one or, at most, a handful of winners for the thousands of entries that are received. There is one site that I know of that consistently provides an easy way to get free stuff for very little work…
e-Rewards Means Free Video Games and More
I have been filling out surveys from e-Rewards for many months now and as a result have received a number of free $25 gift cards to GameStop. This is just one of many rewards available for earning points from filling out surveys.
Once you sign up, the service will send you an e-mail whenever a new survey is available for you. Survey topics include just about anything, from cars to food to banks. Each survey has an assigned e-Rewards dollar value for completing it. You can then cash in your e-Rewards dollars at any time for gift cards, frequent flier miles, or a number of other goodies. I always choose the GameStop gift cards as they enable me to essentially get video games for free.
Sometimes the surveys take just a few seconds to complete and are worth just a dollar or two, while other surveys take 30 minutes and are worth several dollars. Every little bit adds up to just a small amount of work in exchange for free stuff.
So sign up now! Free stuff is good!
