Got this email offer today from Sparks.com:

"When you purchase at least $20 of cards, flowers, gifts or gift certificates at Sparks.com, we will enclose a free gift certificate with your order.*

Spend $20, and get a FREE $10 CDNOW Gift Certificate *LINK*
Spend $30, and get a FREE $20 Borders Gift Certificate *LINK*
Spend $40, and get a FREE $50 Spafinders Gift Certificate *LINK*
Does this mean that if you buy $20 in CDNOW gift certificates you will get an additional $10 worth of CDNOW at no additional charge? Yes, it does. So you can sort of buy $30 cash for $20? Yes. If you want. Offer good only while supplies last, or until September 1st, whichever comes first. If we run out of one promotional gift certificate, we will substitute another offering, such as a Blockbuster gift certificate, with the same or greater value until we are out of all of them."

I bit on the Border's GC offer. I did not see any mention of a free GC in my shopping basket or on the homepage, however. Will check with Customer Service...

Thats a damn good deal if it works out. If I spend $90, I will have enough in GC to buy that Stanely Kubrick Collection on DVD that just came out. Thanks man :).

How do you get the $20 free GC...I can't seem to get it up, I added 3 $10 Borders GC's to my cart and it doesn't show up. Help!
OH yea, EVEN TO SWEETEN THE DEAL MORE, there is a $10 off $25 coupon. You'll have to get that from another...*cough* dealcatcher.com...site.

I got the same e-mail. My order didn't show the free GC either. CSR said that the free GC would be added automatically at the warehouse at the time of shipping. She said no limit on how many times you can use this offer. However, the part that bothers me is that the free GC offers lasts till
Sept 1, or "till supplies last".

2 things...

1) can offers be combined? can i use the 10 off 25 coupon and still get the free gift certificate?

2) if i do use the coupon, spending 30 and getting 10 off, is it possible that i don't get the $20 gift certicate to borders because i didn't spend $30 in cash?
