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.

Newegg sent me a code for a free 8x8 book and 50 free prints for being a premier member, (which is free for three months with code prembl. If you sign up with a gift card, it must have at least one penny on it, as the system does a test). As usual, shipping applies.
Code didn't work.

Nice! Doesn't say so in the email or the t&c though. Did you test it?

Shutterfly.com homepage says it.
But yeah I plugged it into the cart and it took 50%. Unfortunately, it took 50% off AFTER the $20 Stonyfield coupon.

From what I understand they take off free products first, then $ off codes, then % off whatever remains.

Yeah seems like it. Gonna settle on $18 for an 8x11. Can't keep waiting for the magical free book code to come.

Well this is stupid. the 50% is off the base book only, not additional pages or anything else. That means that if you're using a free book code, you get 40$ off, not 50%.

Were you ever able to determine if the Stonyfield coupon stacks with the $20 Coke coupon?

I believe you are thinking of the $20 Visa Checkout stacking with Stonyfield. I don't have any Coke coupons to try.

I'd send you a code but I'm all out of caps at the moment. Did the Visa Checkout stack?

I didn't do the Visa Checkout yet, so I don't have one to test. I have a Stonyfield at home I could give you to try, but I'm not home till Sunday.

Thanks. I'll send you a Coke code in return.

Ain't magical till shipping is free.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I'm not here for entirely free books. I usually pay ~$10 for my books because of shipping and tax. IME a free book code (even 8x8) is the surest way to get the price down to that range.

I got a 8x8 code, but it looks like a one time use.

I think so. It was from newegg, not shutterfly. The last book i got was $20 from photobook America ($10 Groupon+$10 shipping) for a 40 page 8x11, iirc.

Update: Stonyfield, Coke, and Visa Checkout do NOT stack with each other :'(.
