Happy Birthday From QRDeals.com and QuickRewards.net!

Time to blow out the candles again!  Please join me in wishing a VERY happy birthday today to QR Birthday Bunch member Joanna D., who's celebrating another year today!  Happy birthday, Joanna!

She shares a birthday with singer Lena Horne, comedian David Allen Grier, and boxer Mike Tyson.  (Wait, wasn't yesterday the anniversary of the date he bit Holyfield's ear?  What, was he thinking it was an early birthday gift?  Ewww!)  On this date in 1921, RCA was founded, in 1936, "Gone With the Wind" was published, in 1952, "Guiding Light" debuted, and in 1966, The Supremes recorded "You Keep Me Hanging On."

David Allen Grier cracked me up all the time on In Living Color, and I hope this Loomis Simmons skit gives you a smile on your birthday -- have a great day, Joanna!

Spotlight Merchants: iTunes and Limoges Jewelry

Good Monday morning to ya, QR shoppers!  It's time for our Spotlight Merchant of the Week announcement, and to be honest, we couldn't decide on just ONE Merchant of the Week this week...so we chose two!

1.  iTunes.  Why?  Among other reasons, because you can't get Michael Jackson music and videos anywhere else right now.  :(  All ten of the top 10 video downloads on iTunes are Michael Jackson's or feature him (like "We Are the World").  Eight of the top 10 song downloads on iTunes are MJ songs, and 7 of the top 10 album downloads are MJ albums.  So the demand is outrageously high for his music right now and while you'll have to wait to get physical CDs or DVDs -- they're sold out everywhere -- you can download them to your computer and MP3 player and enjoy in minutes through iTunes!  Click to see the full selection of Michael Jackson downloads available on iTunes!

To make it more affordable for you to buy the MJ music and videos you want, this week QR is increasing its iTunes cashback rate from 3.3% to 4.5%!  When you forward your order confirmation to support, be sure to request the QRDeals Bonus Rate.  This is ONLY available to readers of the shopping blog!

Not an MJ fan?  You'll find music and movies for whatever your tastes might be.  "Walking Tall," The Rock's version, is one of the 99c movie rentals of the week -- great flick (he's a hottie!).  Select classic Nickelodeon episodes are 99c, too (load up that iPod before your road trip)!  And you can download single episodes or full seasons of TV shows you may have missed.  Enjoy the increased cashback this week only!

2.  Limoges Jewelry.  Why?  Because through Saturday, they're shipping all orders for free!  Limoges sells jewelry that ranges from low-end costume jewelry to higher-end sterling or gold jewelry and gemstones, so there's something there for bling-lovers of every budget! 

Being a bit of a tightwad, myself, I favor the cheap stuff.  ;)  I like this Genuine Amethyst & CZ Trio Ring with Free Earrings & Pouch for $9.99 shipped (was $39.99)!  Who can tell what's real and what's not, and it's a cute set.  I like purple, if you haven't already figured that out.  LOL!

Lots of other great items to choose from, including birthstone and personalized jewelry. 

And to sweeten the deal, we're increasing our cashback rate at Limoges this week from 8% to 12%!  Ask for the QRDeals Bonus Rate when you forward your confirmation email to support.  Free shipping expires on Saturday, so be sure you place your order at Limoges before then!

Thanks to all for your great support of QuickRewards.net -- hope you enjoy our Spotlight Shopping Merchants this week!  (Have suggestions for future Merchants of the Week, either specific stores or types of products you need?  Email me!)

Alice.com -- Non-perishable Groceries, Baby Products, and Cosmetics with eCoupons

Last week was the launch of Alice.com, a new website that sells a variety of household items at very reasonable prices, and they ship orders of 6 items or more for free!  I placed my first order there on Tuesday and it was delivered on Thursday, and with the eCoupons they provided (they take the discount off at checkout -- no coupon-clipping!) I saved over half off their regular prices -- my order would have been $75.89 but ended up at 34.26 shipped after eCoupons! 

Some of the deals there as I type this:

• Similac Alimentum, 1 quart:  $2.61 after eCoupon
• Dry Idea, 2.5 oz (unscented):  $1.69 after eCoupon
• Snuggle Dryer Sheets, 40 count:  $1.15 after eCoupon
• Oral-B Power Rangers Toothbrush:  $1.79 after eCoupon
• Tucks Medicated Pads, 40 count:  $1.69 after eCoupon
• Ziploc Snack Bags, 50 count:  $1.28 after eCoupon
• Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Extra Power, 2 count:  $1.83 after eCoupon
• General Foods International Coffee (Hazelnut, French Vanilla, Vanilla Creme) $2.23 after eCoupon
• Gerber Banana Peach Granola or Carrots (both Stage 2), 2 packs:  $0.63 after eCoupon

These are just some of the deals you can find on Alice.com -- the prices are great on some items and just average on others, but that's based on where I live.  If you're in, say, New York or California, you'll probably find these prices incredible compared to what you pay locally!

Now, to encourage you to try out the new Alice.com, they're giving new members a $10 credit when you place a $50 order!  But you have to join through an existing member's referral link, like QuickRewards.net's link here.  While QR can't offer cashback on Alice.com purchases, you can at least take advantage of the $10 credit and the great prices!  Hope you enjoy Alice.com as much as I do!

Happy Birthday From QRDeals.com and QuickRewards.net!

We have another birthday today, folks!  Please join me and the staff of QuickRewards.net in wishing a happy birthday to QR Birthday Bunch member Donna M., who's celebrating her special day today!

Also born on this day:  Slim Pickens and Gary Busey (among others, obviously!  hehe).  Big events of this day in history:  the first appendectomy was performed in 1888, in 1957 Buddy Holly recorded "Peggy Sue," in 1967 Jayne Mansfield was killed in a car accident, and in 2007 the iPhone first went on sale.

As you know, Buddy Holly died in a tragic plane crash along with "The Big Bopper" and Ritchie Valens.  Ritchie Valens had a huge hit with the song, "Oh, Donna" which I'm dedicating to our birthday girl today!  Hope you have a great day today, Donna!

Remembering Michael Jackson -- Plus CDs, DVDs, Books at Barnes and Noble

I'll always remember where I was when I heard that Elvis had died:  in my den, watching my mom across the bar in the kitchen as she answered the yellow rotary kitchen phone and my dad told her to turn on the TV.  Mom was in shock.  The TV reporter was in shock.  How did it happen, they asked.  Why?  I watched in confusion, knowing who Elvis was but not understanding his significance to her generation.

Fast-forward about 30 years.  I'll always remember where I was when I heard that Michael Jackson had died:  just leaving the checkout at Walmart with a cart full of groceries.  My husband called my cellphone to tell me.  Like an idiot, I just froze, blinking, mouth open, trying to grasp it.  No.  Really?  How?  Walmart was bustling with activity and I was wondering, don't they know?  Maybe I should tell somebody?  And my daughter, the same age I was when Elvis died, saw me in shock and watched with confusion, knowing who Michael Jackson was, but not understanding his significance to my generation.

It's been three days, and I'm still struggling to get my mind around the fact that Michael Jackson has died.  I was a teen in the 80s, during his heyday with Off the Wall and then the huge ultra mega-hit Thriller (yes, I had and still have the album).  I used to babysit a little boy who was absolutely obsessed with Michael, to the point of wearing his red leather look-alike jacket during the summer!  And OMG, who didn't try to moonwalk?

We didn't have cable, so I had to see the Thriller video premiere at my cousin's house.  I remember the day clearly.  I don't know if I'd say it was life-changing, but when you saw it, you knew you were watching history in the making...something that was significant, that would be influential.

What happened to Michael Jackson in his personal life I don't understand, and I'm trying to stick with "judge not lest ye be judged" (particularly now, when his life is over and that judgment has already been made by a higher authority), but his bizarre personal life aside, Michael Jackson's music and videos were a huge part of my life, particularly in my teen years, and that's how I want to remember the man -- as a talented and influential musician who defined pop culture in the 80s.

I've heard that, as tends to be the case when a big celebrity passes on, the demand for Michael Jackson's music and DVDs, as well as books about him, is tremendous.  I checked Barnes and Noble this morning and they have over 300 items by or related to MJ.  Some are showing "available in 1-2 weeks" and that may be optimistic with demand the way it is.  Just wanted to share the Michael Jackson items at Barnes and Noble link in case anyone else is interested.  If you order something, be sure to forward your confirmation email to support for your 4.2% cashback credit.

If you want to share your feelings about MJ, and/or Elvis, please leave a comment.

Happy Birthday From QRDeals.com and QuickRewards.net!

We have another birthday to celebrate today -- please join me in wishing a very happy birthday to QR Birthday Bunch member Viola H.!

What could be more appropriate for a lady named Viola on her birthday than a cute little girl playing Happy Birthday on a Viola?  (Oh gosh, my video intros are starting to sound like Bob Saget!  Eek!)  ANYWAY, hope you have a GREAT birthday today, Ms. Viola!

Happy Birthday From QRDeals.com and QuickRewards.net!

Happy Monday morning to ya, and a very happy birthday today to QR Birthday Bunch member Marjorie G.!

Designer Bill Blass shares Marjorie's birthday, as does singer Kris Kristofferson, actress Meryl Streep, and Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner.  The U.S. Department of Justice was created on this day in 1870, in 1944 FDR signed the "G.I. Bill," and in 1969 actress Judy Garland died of an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. 

The Wizard of Oz (starring Judy Garland, of course) is one of my favorite movies of all time, despite the creepiness of those icky flying monkeys!  Here's a brief video discussing how Garland got the part of Dorothy.  Hope you enjoy, and Marjorie, I hope your birthday has you over the rainbow!  ;)  Happy birthday from QRDeals and QuickRewards!

Michele shares a birthday with England's Prince William, SCTV comedian Joe "Count Floyd" Flaherty, and Bloom County cartoonist Berkeley Breathed.  On this day in 1975, James Taylor released "How Sweet It Is," and in 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark debuted in theaters.

In honor of your birthday, here's a quiz on famous Michelles (sorry -- couldn't find one with just one L; hope this will do!).  You're our favorite Michele, of course!  :)  Happy birthday from the staff at QR!

Happy Birthday, Dmitry!

Guess who's celebrating his birthday today?  And by WORKING, at a conference out of town?  That's right -- QuickRewards.net co-founder and all-around great guy Dmitry is our Birthday Bunch birthday boy today!

He shares a birthday with Stooge Moe Howard, baseball player Lou Gehrig, and everyone's favorite American Idol judge, Paula Abdul.

Today, for his birthday, I present to you a lame-but-heartfelt poem for Dear Old Dmitry (OLD, yeah right, he's a wee babe compared to me!):

QuickRewards is the site that you own
Caring about members?  You set the tone!
My favorite feature?  It's hard to pick:
Surveys or shopping, getting paid quick,
Trivia, offers, emails galore,
We love QR for these reasons and more!
Dmitry, every day you give your best,
To make QuickRewards outshine all the rest.
You deserve a great birthday, for all that you do
Hope you have a great day -- happy birthday to you!

I think Dmitry would be tickled if you guys would leave a comment to this post (no lame poetry required) wishing him a happy birthday if you have a sec!  And as always, you're welcome to add your first name and last initial plus your birthday to my calendar here and you'll get a birthday greeting on YOUR birthday, too!  I promise not to write you a corny poem.  ;)

Amazon Prime Deadline for Free 2-Day Delivery Before Father's Day

Who else here has Amazon Prime?  (show of hands; mine's raised)  It has TOTALLY been worth it for me for many reasons, not the least of which is the free 2-day shipping with NO order minimum!  Any time I find a great daily deal on the sidebar here at QRDeals, or through Amazon's Video Game Deal link in the QRDeals Daily Deals section, I just pop it into my cart and check out, not worrying about hitting the $25 minimum.  And when a holiday or a birthday is around the corner and I've forgotten someone or just couldn't decide 'til the last minute, that free 2-day shipping has saved my behind on more than one occasion!

If you're in that category with Father's Day, today's the deadline to get free 2-day shipping before the big day (since they don't deliver on Saturdays)!  Don't put it off any longer -- go see what you can find at Amazon today, like this Leatherman Hybrid Gardening Multitool for $32.78 shipped (lists for $75)!

And if you're thinking, "Hey, this Amazon Prime membership might come in handy... especially since the $89 price will give me free 2-day shipping with no minimum through the holidays...", here's Dmitry's link to sign up for Amazon Prime!  You probably know already that rewards programs aren't allowed to give cash back on Amazon purchases, but your support will help keep the lights on here and it'd sure be appreciated!
