  • Great Web Hosting Deal from Netfirms

    Posted on June 29th, 2007 Lewis 2 comments

    There is a great web hosting deal going on right now from Netfirms. They are offering one year of hosting plus two free domain names for only $10. No, I did not forget to add another digit, it really is only $10!

    I actually signed up for this deal about two months ago but didn’t get a chance to do anything with it. I figured that for $10 it didn’t really matter if I only got 10 months use out of it. To get this deal go to www.netfirms.com/max and enter the code MAX.

    Netfirms offers a few useful tools like Joomla!, Wordpress (only version 2.0 is supported), PHPbb, eCommerce solutions and a shopping cart. The support is pretty good as well with a live 24 hour chat available (which I have used many times - thanks Bob!)

    This deal ends June 30th, 2007 (but will probably be extended) so book it soon! The best part is that you don’t need to have your domain names picked to get the hosting. You should have the first one but the second can be registered at any time.

  • CIBC Aeroplan Point Giveaway

    Posted on June 27th, 2007 Lewis 1 comment

    There is another banking offer available for Canadian consumers that looks pretty attractive.  CIBC is offering up to 30,000 Aeroplan miles for switching your account from your current bank to the CIBC.  Each action will gain your 15,000 miles.

    Step 1: Switch to a CIBC Unlimited Chequing Account using the CIBC Express Switch service. (first 15,000 miles)

    Step 2: Apply and use (which means you need to be accepted) a CIBC Aerogold VISA Card (second 15,000 miles)  Remember: this card has a $120 per year fee attached so take that into account when planning your flight or other point purchases.

    The offer ends on September 28, 2006.  For more information please visit CIBC Aeroplan Point Giveaway.

    This one looks like a way to combat the Free iPod Offer from TD Canada Trust.  There is a whole lot less involved in this offer and you do not need to have the $5,000 cash for the top bonus.

    If you sign up for the program, take a great trip and send me the details!

  • Free iPod at TD Canada Trust

    Posted on June 27th, 2007 Lewis 3 comments

    It must be summer again because TD Canada Trust is having their “Free iPod” event.

    You can get one of the following free iPods:

    1. 1GB iPod shuffle in one easy step

    Personal banking customers must switch their personal chequing account to TD Canada Trust using EasySwitch and set up one direct deposit or two pre-authorized debits.

    2. 2GB iPod nano

    Customers must switch their personal chequing account to TD Canada Trust using EasySwitch and set up one direct deposit or two pre-authorized debits AND either get a new TD Gold Visa or deposit $5000 into a Guaranteed Investment Account for 90 days.
    3. 30GB iPod

    Do all of the above.

    This seems like a great deal if you happen to have $5K sitting around doing nothing. For a 30GB iPod (retail $249 US) it may be worth it!

    Visit http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/accounts/ipod/index.jsp for more details.

    Let me know how it goes.
