This promotion has ended, but if you got a code use it as soon as possible!
Please be aware that because of the way this promotion is handled, I recommend you use your coupon code for your free photo gift as soon as possible! I believe they will stop accepting codes before Dec. 31 because of the way they are issuing the codes.
Just visit AmericanGreetings.com and scroll down, look for the ad (shown at left) near the bottom right that says “Get Your Free Gift Today” and click on it to register for your free photo gift! No registration is required, you don’t have to log in – you just need to click on that ad to get your coupon code. Choose your free photo gift and remember that if you choose the $25 credit you will still have to pay shipping (shipping is included if you choose one of the three photo gifts).
If you don’t see the ad, try refreshing and also read the comments left on this post for tips from others. I’ve also heard that using Firefox as your browser is working to help get that ad to display!
Write down your coupon code because when I tried to print it the coupon code didn’t actually print (left a blank spot where the code should have been). You’ll have until December 31 to redeem your coupon code (but please use it as soon as possible before they cancel this promotion). I choose the photo calendar – what did you pick as your free photo gift?
********************************************************************************
Starting on Tuesday, December 1 the first 20,000 who register at AmericanGreetings.com will get a free photo clutch book, 25 holiday cards, or an 11×8 calendar from Photoworks (includes free shipping). If you don’t want one of those three photo gifts, you also have the option to get a $25 credit (not valid on prints or towards shipping). So the three photo gifts include free shipping, and with the $25 credit you’ll have to pay the shipping cost no matter what you order. Thanks goes to Common Sense with Money for the details on this time-sensitive offer!
Here’s the value of the freebies they are offering, so you can choose which one you want and plan ahead a little. You may even want to upload a few photos to Photoworks today and start designing because tomorrow I’m sure their site will be running slower than usual. I’m not sure how long you’ll have to redeem the coupon code, but it would be nice to place your order this week if you’re planning on using this photo gift as a Christmas gift.

Yeah, I emailed them about not being able to redeem it. They sent me a code for 30% off any one item. Blah. Better than nothing, but still not ordering the calendar I made.
Darn. I saved my coupon code until I finally had time to make my book. It's too late. Apparently they didn't limit the number of coupon codes they gave out, but the number of people who actually created it.

Received mine this morning. Really like it.
So mad! I thought I had until the 31st to use it and created a calendar (about 45 minutes) and my code was "invalid" (I saved my code in an email draft). Blah. I emailed them to see if they'll give me anything but chances are slim. I don't know why they say your unique code is good until a certain date if they aren't going to honor it!
Yeah, totally sad, I waited a few days to use the code b/c the site was so busy and now they aren't accepting them anymore. :(
Tried to use my code this morning, but it said it had reached its limit.
After reading the fine print I see it is 1 code per email address, not 1 code per household. I understand the greedy sentiment, but American Greetings made the rules and they clearly knew people would and could order more than 1 as they made it per email address rather than per mailing address.
Its 9am December 2nd and I just used the clutch book code and it worked just fine for me :) Thanks!!
I got my code yesterday early in the morning and tried to make my calendar late last night. The site was sooooo slow, I decided to just give up my freebie and go to bed. I woke up bummed that I was missing out, so I decided to try it again this morning. It worked and my coupon was still valid! I was able to order it and get it free :-) Yay! I'm so glad I gave it another try!! Thanks again for this freebie :-)
Thank you, Heather! It took awhile but I ordered the Patchwork Girl clutch!
I am looking at my order history!And nothing comes up!!So i dont even know if its coming.
Why would anyone even consider using more than one? Greedy, greedy, greedy.
The promotion codes are on their facebook page so people getting more then one by using 2 email address had not "stealing from your cart". They are out there for anyone to use at this point, first 20,000 or not it looks like. I ordered a second gift for MIL a minute ago when I realized this had no problem using the code with my husband's account.
Anybody else get an email saying that your photobook from the last promotion was delayed? Wonder if we will get them or not?
if you become a fan on facebook and go to the discussion rooms, you can still get the free codes. just did it!
I have been having alot of trouble so I called customer service and they said I have until the 15th to complete the project and get it ordered. They said they bumped the date up to 15th so don't delay!!
Thanks Heather! I made a calendar – definitely not as user friendly /less bells and whistles then just Walmart or somewhere else where you can add pics to specific dates for bdays etc. but It was FREE so it is GREAT! See you on field trip tomorrow maybe!Marianne
Just finished and ordered my calendar for FREE! Thanks for this great deal!
I had my code & was going to make my grandmother a album of her grandkids since sheis in a nursinghome & has dementia. I quickly found out this was no better than people cutting in line & stealing things from your cart on Black Friday. I didnt feel this way till people told how they cheated by using several computers.
Okay so a 20 minute wait to talk to a rep got me this answer:the calender code is good for an 11×8 and will be good until the 14th.It is the code that is posted on facebook, so I hope they are not overwhelemed and cancel this, I'm so excited to do this, but they take time cause I dont want to use the same pics over and over in all of these free pic promos!!Thanks for posting nonetheless!!
I just ordered my free calendar! Thank you so much for this offer!!! I made it for my sons' Godmother for Christmas!
Thanks! I had no problems finding the promotion last night, and it was so easy to make my photo book this morning. The coupon worked immediately and everything was free!!! (For those who have pouted about it, it said clearly in the beginning that the $25 coupon did not include shipping…but the 3 other items did.)Thanks AG! Great freebie!
I got my code last night and haven't made my calendar yet… will the code still work for me??Oh how disappointing if so, esp with everyone taking more than one :(Liz
American Greetings has posted the codes on their facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=112214404853&topic;=13013#/topic.php?uid=112214404853&topic;=13013
I ordered a calendar this morning! So happy! Thank you!
I went to get my codes last night 1AM PST. To tired to get book last night, so I just logged in (11 AM PST) and it said the promo was over. I then went on to find the product I had originally chosen went thru the filling out process (20 min.), used the code, and it worked. I got the clutch and added extra pages and still I owe $0.Thanks Heather!
Thanks, Heather. I missed out on so many free picture deals lately, so I'm glad I scored a code to use today. Thanks so much.FYI to others, I have not yet designed my final picture gift, but I've put something in my cart and the code is in there and the total reflects zero. Now I know it works and I just need to get it done.
Awesome! Thanks! I ordered 25 holiday gift cards!
Got my code for the calendar at 7:30am EST and just placed my order at 1pm. Total was 0.00 and I just selected "paypal" and that was it. No more info was needed.Thankfully the site was nice and fast for me and I was able to make it in 30 minutes.
As of 1:06pm on the East Coast it is gone! It was only for the first 20,000 people :(
For those with a zero balance like me, just select paypal. No need to give them your info.
Got my code last night and did my calendar this morning! Thanks again for the heads up! Loving all these freebies!
I started mine around 9amCST and just checked out. I got my confirmation #. Thank you so much for all of these AWESOME FREE photogifts! My photobook should arrive Thurs-from the code last week! So exciting to make these gifts!
why did they make me give a credit card for a 0 balance?
I am sorry due to popular demand the promotion has reached its maximum limit. BUMMER.
Thanks for another free gift code!!! I just found your blog a few weeks ago and already I feel like I have my Christmas for free this year :). I ordered a calendar for my parents with all the grandkid's pictures throughout.
I just tried to redeem my free photo gift and I got a page that said the promotion has reached it's limit.
Thanks this was awesome!! I did the photo-book and personalized it was a great christmas gift!!
this was great – made a calendar for my parents. thanks!
I went and they have reached the limit!! SADFACE!!!
I just finished my calendar……I got it free.I did get the code this morning…so, was able to use it.Thanks for the Great deal!!!
I just got a code too :) Now I'm off to make my calendar! Thanks!!!
I just tried and it said they were all gone
There are no more left
the promo has endedjust an FYI
I got my code last night but when I tried to order the coupon was only taking off the shipping charge. The coupon did read free clutch book and free shipping. I decided to go to bed and try again in the morning. It worked just now! Same code and everything I'm not sure why I had the trouble before.
If your $25 gift code ended in:7579Use it NOW!
I printed the page only to find that my code was not printed. I has already moved on to making my book and I didn't write down the code. When I went back to get it, it said I already did it. I wish there was someway to get my code. bummer.
I just ordered mine! Another great freebie thanks to you!
Got my gift done, I chose the calendar…awesome gift for someone….Thanks
Are the codes for the $25 gift unique? I can't order mine until Fri. & I'd hate for someone else to use my code. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. These freebies have been a lifesaver during these tight times in the holidays. I clicked the link, selected a gift, received the code and pasted it to a note tab, then logged in and created my book. no problems (I am using google chrome on win 7)
Checked around on muliple websites about this offer and everyone is getting the same codes & if you go to certain blogs they have all the codes posted up anyway. They work now but they won't in a day or two because they aren't unique to the individual like originally thought.
Got a photo calendar! Thanks so much for the info. I used Firefox, and had no problems getting the code at 7:45 am ET or ordering the photo calendar. But I already had photos uploaded from the photo book offer, so I didn't have to spend time going through that ordeal again. :) What a great offer!
I could not find the link either. Then I went ahead and downloaded Firefox…and went back…sure enough there it was. Thank You!
Thanks! I got a code for $25 this morning at 7:45 CST. I don't think it's right for people to request more than one code. That's just greedy imho.
Heather – you are the best ever! I get such great things from your website and this is just another example of the great service you're providing! I really appreciate it. I've saved over $150 this Christmas on deals, thanks to you … and I'm sure will keep doing it thanks to the deals you share.
Has anyone gotten their free photobook from the last photoworks promotion?
I picked the photo calendar!
I made an adorable calendar that turned out great! Thank You for letting me know about this wonderful offer!
I got the calendar :)
REPULSIVE that anyone feels the need to take more than one. it will ruin offers like this for everyone.
Alright! My book is ordered. Shipping was free.I made a book for my 2-yr old full of pictures of her and her new baby sister and will give it to the 2-yr old for Christmas.Thanks for sharing!
As of 6:45 this morning I was able to get a code… now if I will be able to use it is another question entirely!My book is almost ready to be ordered and the site seems to be working quickly enough.
I just did the clutch book and I was able to get it to work for me although an hour ago, I didn't see the ad for the free gift. Maybe just keep trying.
I got the same codes as well, but when I tried to do my clutch book at 3 a.m., it wouldn't accept my code anymore. Frustrating that it was already gone. Anyone else have this problem? I got a different code, clutch5 to work, but you have to pay shipping and $5.
And as far as shipping, you only pay shipping if you choose the $25 certificate;) All the other choices ship free.
Got my code! Thanks! I almost forgot to check the site this morning!! I'm getting the calendar :-) Can't wait to get it started. Hopefully later tonight I will have more time to work on it. Thanks for freebie!!
Just got my code:) 5:42 CST they were still available! TY for the great freebie!
Thanks so much for this deal. I woke up early and it worked for me. Just make sure you choose the right clutch if you are going to make a photo book. For some reason I chose the wrong one and it didn't allow me to get it for free. I am so excited!
It is still there. Not sure why people are not seeing it!
Not quite sure what all the excitement is about. I got my codes and then realized I'd have to pay shipping. Still, not bad, but I'm not crazy about anything on their site. Perhaps some people will find it to be a great deal though.
Are all of the codes gone because I'm not seeing anything, anywhere. And yes, I'm a little ticked that people actually have the audacity to come on here and brag that they cheated and got three or four codes. Rude! Take the one freebie you are given and leave some for others. This is why companies don't these kinds of promotions very often.
Great Deal!!! I love your site!! It has been soo helpful this holiday season!! FYI: All the codes are the same. Everyone I know has been getting the same ones as me and as posted.
I actually have the same code as Michelle for the 25 holiday cards. I hope this code keeps working; I already have my holiday cards (thanks to the great seehere.com deal), but I passed my photoworks.com code on to my soon to be sister-in-law that wants family photo holiday cards with their new baby (she tried to do the cards on seehere.com on 11/30, but the site wasn't working well). I thought that each code was connected to an e-mail address? (I was logged in to the website when I got my code- did anyone have to register their e-mail address?).
Actually, that was the code I got for the calendar… so I hope it works… it's 12:35 PST and I am working on mine now… hope they keep the codes with peeps posting them and all!! :OLiz
Michelle–those aren't the codes i got… AG is issuing unique codes so you just published yours for the whole world. i'd advise you use them before someone else does or you're outta luck honey!i just did it in IE and no problems. I used 3 diff computers and got diff codes for each one (2 books, one set of cards). I called my sister in Hawaii and walked her through it and she got her code no problem too. these 20K codes will be gone in a jiffy…another reason they're using unique codes. it's only 20,000 that they're giving away, and you have till 12/31 to redeem them. I'm going to make valentine cards for my DD to give friends for V-day…and i'll wrap them up and give them to her for christmas. i've already mailed my holiday cards for this year (i am so WAY organized! Go Blue!) so i didn't need any more.Good luck all! ♥
Worked! Thanks!
Ya, it's not fair that these freebies are being taken advantage of. This is why people don't offer free things because people take advantage of this! We should be grateful and just accept one!
Maybe all of the codes shouldn't be posted for those of us who signed up and registered and did it the right way. Just a thought.
this effing sucks. . . I printed the page and NO CODE!!
Placed my order! Thanks so much!!
Phew, finally worked for me from clicking on ecard links…! Good luck everyone!
i chose the books and heads up guys i added pages up to 28 and the code covered it still, i didn't have to pay for the extra pages. Awesome deal thanks :)
thank you it was a breeze to get using firefox
HOW CAN I USE OR CHANGE TO IE
WOO HOO! I just ordered my photo book worth $21 with no problems at all!!! Thank you Heather! That's one Christmas gift less to buy!
Thank you! I just need to take my Christmas photo for the free cards!
Finally got it. Click on "view talking ecards" and it brings you to another page and at the right its there!
To turn off the adblock in Firefox, look at the right side of your toolbar up top. There should be a red stop sign that says ABP. Click the little arrow to the right of it and then click "Disable on this page only" when you have the page open that you want to unblock. Then refresh your page.
Hey all, whoever gave that tip about clicking on "ecards" is right – I just clicked it and saw the "TODAY ONLY" sign on the right side of the page after I clicked on that. Thanks!
It worked for me and I got a photo ornament for my newest child's 1st Christmas.
How do I turn off the ad block on Firefox?
I just had my dad get an additional code for the pack of 25 photocards on his computer and it gave him the same code as mine??? I wonder if they are all the same? I was also able to go back on my computer 15 minutes later and get another code for a different item?? Hmmmm….I wonder if this deal will me dead before we know it.
was able to get the code through IE but only after following posted comments about clicking on ecards. :-)
fyi, it works. i just ordered the book. i have an account on photoworks. you dont have to sign up on american greetings, but you do use it to get to the promotion, but have an account ready on Photoworks.com :)i just finished mine (much to my husbands annoyance as it is 1:15am) but the coupon worked, free shipping, and the order was accepted :) good luck all!
After about 50 frustrating attempts in IE, I opened up Firefox, typed in the web address for AG and THERE it was on the first load! Thanks for the post.
yup, clicking on eCards did the trick for me too!
thank you – had no problems at all – went to americangreetings.com in FF and clicked on TODAY ONLY, then picked my gift and it gave me the code. Thanks again!!
Anyone know why it is showing the other ads on the right side of the page but not that one? Is there a way to unblock ads?
I purchased a mouse pad and a key chain using the $25 gift card. Had to pay $7.50 for shipping but still a pretty good deal. Good luck finding the link.
Internet Explorer won't even open up AmericanGreetings.com for me! GRR!!!
YAY!! Just finished making a memory book for my husband for Christmas!! Great freebie!!!
i finally got the ad by clicking ecards & clicked it & got the screen saying that I choose the $25 & to print the page, but there is no code on the screen or on the printed page. UGGGHHH
haha so glad i could help yall find it i was getting beyond frustrated as well..
now I have a cell ad instead of the tom boy ad, grrrrrrrrr
I FINALLY got it by doing what other poster said and clicking on ecards link at top of page…
anonymous 11:50 You are a lifesaver thank you so much.. That was beyond frustrating.. I am new to the whole "Freebie" world and after the Bonnie Photobook debatcle I couldnt take another let down!!!!! To anyone that is having trouble try going through ecards it finally worked for me :)
The calendar comes with free shipping!
I had no trouble getting it to work. But it does log the IP address.I got a different code for the calendar and the $25 off, but had to use different computers…Anyone got the code for the clutch book?
BTW, I chose the $25 coupon option, and free shipping is NOT included with this offer! Don't know about the others…
Yeah I finally got it!!
I used FireFox and got my code but can't upload any photos to my account. It doens't work in Safari either. anyone else had such problems?
For those of you who can't find the link, if you're using firefox, you must disable your adblock for that page and then refresh. It worked for me!
I got one – thanks! I also had to use IE to see the ad – didn't show up in firefox
hey ash i just found my code i clicked on ecards at the top and when it went to that page the ad wit the code popped up hope it will for you too
:( Still no luck
im using IE and there are only 3 ads on the right side and I can assure you none say TODAY ONLY lol..
Just got my free gift, thanks!
I have asked my husband about this, because he works on computers, and he is as stumped as I am. Not sure if this will help, but I was logged into my AmericanGreetings account when I was offered the code. I hope that helps. I will keep checking other things too.
Look on the right hand side for the ad. I found it and it opened in a new window.
yay yay yay! i got my code :) thank you!
Okay, weirdly, after randomly clicking through the link here I found it! I was karen W who couldn't find it earlier. Maybe less traffic and it will show? Keep trying! BUT, click through to "use coupon" because my husband and I did it at the same time and go the same code!! We wrote it down and saw it was the same. I wanted both calendars, so I clicked on $25 by accident and got that code only to work :< Keep trying!
wondering if it will show up later when less people are on the web site. ??
The 1st advertisement on right hand side is about laughs, 2nd is the buy one get one free cards and the 3rd is a telephone advertisement. Ive refreshed and even cleared my cache to no avail arghhhh
My 3rd ad down on the right says "This is a Tom Boy ad… both in IE and Firefox (after I disabled Adblock)
Its still not showing up .. this is so frustrating. First i spent two hours making the other photo book and then couldn't get it because of the Bonnie code expiring now i have already made a book and a calender. I am certain its not there :( anyway anyone could get an extra one????
If anyone figures out why its not showing up please share
Weird, I just checked again, and its the 3rd advertisement down on the right hand side. The TODAY ONLY is in bold red letters.
Thanks, I got my code! My code did print out on the page, so maybe they fixed the initial error you received, Heather.
I only use IE and its 1230 here – still not showing up on my page…
It is 10:30pm where I am, and it worked for me. I am at a loss as to why its not showing up for some of you.
Make sure you use IE. It doesn't show with Firefox.Thanks Heather!! I grabbed my code!
I did this and chose the $25 coupon. After chosing that option the next page said that you can't use the money to order prints (which is what I wanted to do). Just thought I would pass the info on. I do still plan to use the money. :)
you may be right Kita. I can't find it & it is also 12:28 here. Maybe we need to wait about 30 more minutes!
Just got mine, thank you.
it's 12:24 where i am at maybe I need to wait a lil while because the time stamp on these comments say 11:something
I can't find it either. I have refreshed my page several times and even went on to the Photoworks site with no luck!
Its on the right hand side near the bottom. But not on the bottom. Its says TODAY ONLY in bold.
If you have firefox it may not work. I had to change it explorer for the ad to show up! But at least I got it! Thanks!
I cannot find it.Help
I can't see that ad anywhere! JUst a US Cellular ad on lower right. SO FRUSTRATING!!!
I just did it but make sure you write down the code. The calendar choices are pretty stinky but for free you can't complain!
im not finding anything that looks like that
It was there a minute ago and now its gone!
I can't find it either i don't think it is on the page!
I CANT FIND THE LINK TO GET THE PASSWORD PLLEASSE HELP!
