AP9 24 Protect Plus Member Saves BIG!

AP9 24 Protect Plus, a membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC®, offers its members discounts and tools that help protect their families and personal assets. 

The following is a comment from an AP9 24ProtectPlus member that describes how he saved while protecting his investment -- a new home.

"We bought a new (old house) in August 2004. Knowing that with the old house came many needed upgrades, we started stocking up on cards to Home Depot, Lowes, Target and others. Having the cards on hand is the best way to go. You have the ability to make that instantaneous purchase. You can not beat the service. Play your cards right and you easily get back the cost of your memebership. I saved 20% at Lowes on $600 worth of precast patio pavers, sand and tools. (That's $600 minus 20% or a total of only $480.) I just bought a Rubbermaid xtra large shed and 180 concrete blocks from Home Depot and saved another $150 of my $700 plus purchase. The best way to save is to use your 20% off cards at Target and Kmart for everyday papergoods and other cleaning or household items. Just figure that you will spend at least $1000 on these types of items. So buy your cards in advance and keep them on hand. I beg people to join this service because I know they spend over $2000 or more at these stores. Once you spend over $1000 dollars you pretty much pay for your memebership. The rest you spend is money in your pocket. For us, we spent over $3500 so far and it's nice to know that we are saving that extra 20%."

DealPass.com Offers Price Comparison Shopping for Gift Givers

Gift-giving occasions can really put stress on gift-givers everywhere. Not only do they have to exhaust their creative juices coming up with the ultimate gift idea, but they also have to spend a good chunk of time trying to find the best available price for the item. Well, to all of those stressed-out present hunters – DealPass is your shopping paradise when it comes to finding gifts and one-stop price comparison shopping – all you need right in one website.

DealPass offers some other helpful gift-giving ideas:

--Listen and Observe. Creative gift-givers usually listen for clues and watch the person they intend to buy a gift for. Ask questions about things they might need or want. Find out what their favorite cologne or perfume is by complimenting them on the scent and asking the name. Discover their favorite color or clothing size by taking a quick glance into their closet. Take a stroll through the house and find out if they are a fan of collectibles. A little 007 work beforehand will pay off in the end.

--Don’t procrastinate. Putting off tackling the job of buying a gift can sometimes be costly. Shoppers who buy presents without first doing a little research into finding the best price for an item may end up spending more than what they budgeted for. They may also find themselves settling for a mediocre gift because they didn’t have the time to find that special something they would be proud to give – and if the tables were turned – receive.

--Take advantage of your resources. In today’s world, technology has made it extremely easy for just about anyone anywhere to find a gift. The Internet is a great resource for gift-giving ideas and surprises. You can order just about anything online these days. From delicious delicacies to dazzling diamonds – just be sure that when you are ordering over the World Wide Web that you purchase products from websites that are reputable.

--When in doubt – don’t stress out – give a gift card. Yes, some say that gift cards are impersonal, but with the way gift cards are being marketed, they are getting more and more popularity votes by givers and receivers each year. Select retailers provide buyers with fun envelopes, 3D action cards, the option to personalize their gift card by choosing to add a picture or a heartfelt note, and this upcoming holiday season, shoppers will see not only gift cards that are eye-catching, but also nose-catching. Yup, you guessed it – scratch n’ sniff gift cards filled with the familiar scents associated with the holidays. In addition, you can buy cards in denominations that you chose – a perfect fit for what your budget allows.

Whatever the occasion, a little listening and observation will help give you clues on what to buy and DealPass will help you do the research while saving you money. Happy hunting, concludes DealPass.
