Topic Wiki

Update 9/1/16: If you're having issues with the new uploaded refusing to upload certain pictures, try this: create a share site and upload your pictures to that. The share site uploader will (for now, at least) actually upload all your files, and you can than use these pictures on the regular site as usual.

Whenever they have 101 prints free, only order 99.  At 100 prints, you enter the next shipping category. (so the additional 2 prints cost $2 or so shipping.)

Free book code knowledge base:
 
- These are available from time to time and will be posted either in this thread or on DDMS.
- The codes are generally for an 8x8” sized book and 20 pages (10 spreads). Extra pages are $1.
- Take note of their expiration date; sometimes they last a month or more, sometimes only a couple of days.
- The code does not include shipping.
 
How to maximize:

- You could use the codes in multiple accounts.
- Don’t wait for your book to be ready before applying the code; some codes are limited in quantity. Log in to your Shutterfly account and go to this page. Type the code into the box and click enter; your free book will now be listed under your “Promos and Discounts”.
- The code could be used for any size or type of book, and for any amount of pages. It will simply subtract the value of an 8x8”, 20-page book from your total.
- 30, 40 and even 50% off coupons are pretty much perpetual; use them to bring down the remaining cost of your book even further. These codes could be found in Shutterfly’s marketing emails, and often on their homepage as well. These codes will work on both the book itself and on any additional pages you add.
- If there is no substantial discount available at the moment you may want to wait a week or two. It won’t take long to appear.
- If the expiration date is coming up and your book is not ready, you could chat with them and they will generally give you a very generous time extension.
- It’s a good idea to always have a couple of books ready to go, so that you’re ready when a free code comes up.
- If a book is in one of your accounts and the code in another, you could create a Share Site and send the book between accounts that way.
- Code SHIP39 will give you free shipping on orders over $39, so could combine your book with a regular print order and save on shipping. From time to time there will be a free shipping code available for less than $39. Otherwise shipping on the book itself is around $10.

Yes. These codes aren't tied to any one book; they're just x amount off.

I just made a 43-page 8.5x11 last week for under $3 using an 8x8, 20-page code and a 50% off code.

Awesome! Did not know you can request an extension. I wonder if you can do that for a code that already expired?

Finished now ordering 2 books, and wanted to save a few for later. Unfortunately, the live chat has been off today and yesterday. It's much easier than PUTPAC.

That's really annoying. I called them, and they actually have a promt for promotion extensions (2, then 1). But all you get is a recording saying that all extension request have to be submitted by email to ccpromotions@shutterfly.com.

They claim that they'll respond within 24 hours.

Thanks, I would try that way, but the accounts listed with them, are not exactly individual email addresses to send it from...

Awesome, finishing a picture download to an account, and hope it's still there in a few minutes.

"Due to popular demand we actually extended the promotion for the free book. It will now be good through tomorrow evening (March 24, 2015) at 11:59:59pm PST. I apologize, but at this particular time we can not allow more time or offer an extension."

Let's HUCA and see what happens...

Getting skimpy? Usually I would get at least a month, but that extension till tomorrow will let me finish my 4th book in time.
