Last week I posted an article titled Manage Your Growing Disc Collection, in which I talked about physical storage of home movies, music CD’s, etc. While researching and organizing my own collection I came across my copies of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (on Blu-Ray) and realized that I had not taken advantage of my FREE Movie Ticket offer. Realizing that the release of the latest installment of the Toy Story franchise was only days away, I immediately followed the instructions provided and, within minutes, I was printing our tickets to see Toy Story 3. As it turns out, there is more than one way to get these FREE tickets, and I want to share the details with the JumpstartMyPC.com audience.
Below is a list of ways to obtain your FREE tickets to see Toy Story 3. Before we get started, there are a few things you need to know about the options listed:
- These offers are not from JumpstartMyPC and we in no way guarantee the tickets, offers or programs.
- You are going to need a printer, or at least access to one, to print out the FREE tickets.
- You must take advantage of these offers and print the tickets quickly (most expire at the end of August).
Offer 1: Buy the Original Movies
If you already own Toy Story 1 and 2 (Blu-Ray), then go check your cases for the “Magic Codes” that might be included. According to the official Toy Story 3 Movie Ticket Offer page, the discs must have been purchased between 3/23/10 and 7/31/10, but I received my copies at Christmas and both copies came with the FREE movie ticket offer and a code.
If you don’t own the first 2 parts of the Toy Story Trilogy (on Blu-Ray), then there is no better time to buy them. Run out to Best Buy, Target or purchase them online from Amazon.com and have your codes well before Friday. Here are some prices we dug up from around the web:
- Amazon.com = $41.98 for both movies! – Purchasing both movies (Toy Story
and Toy Story 2
Special Edition) from Amazon gets you a hefty discount. $41.98 (and it looks like shipping is FREE) buys both movies, which include the following:
- Blu-ray copy of the movie
- DVD copy of the movie
- FREE Movie ticket offer
- Disney Movie Rewards points (earn points with Blu-rays & DVDs then use them for rewards from Disney)
- BONUS: Amazon is going to also give you $4 worth of eligible movies and TV shows from Amazon Video On Demand for each purchase. Buy both and you get an extra $8 to rent or buy movies and/or TV shows from Amazon.
- Target = $29.99 each – Target will cost you more than Amazon.com, but you would have the discs in hand today. These are the same 2-Disc Special Edition copies from Amazon.com, which include the Blu-Ray and DVD copy, but you pay more and you don’t get the $4 in bonus cash.
- Best Buy = $29.99 each - Best Buy is matching the Target pricing on this one. Same edition, same discs, same price. You can earn some RewadZone points with this purchase, but that is still a high price to pay when Amazon can have it at your door by Wednesday for much cheaper.
Offer 2: Energizer Battery Purchase
Who doesn’t need batteries? Whether it’s the remote control, the kids’ toys or hurricane season, you need to stock up. Energizer is offering FREE movie tickets for Toy Story 3 or any Disney/Touchstone movie with the purchase of certain Energizer MAX packages:
- Energizer MAX AA-10, AA/AAA-12 – 1 offer code each
- Energizer MAX AA-20 – 2 offer codes each
** Note that it takes multiple codes to equal a free ticket, but 2 codes will get you $6 off of your ticket price.
You’ll need to make sure these battery packages have the ToyStory 3 logo on the package, so ordering online might not be the safest bet. Here are a few local prices, to give you an idea on what you’ll be spending:
- MAX AA-10 = $7.49 (Best Buy)
- MAX AAA-12 = $11.86 (Sam’s Club)
- MAX AA-20 = $12.49 (Best Buy)
Offer 3: Kellogg’s Offer
Purchasing specially-marked Kellogg’s cereals can earn you points that you can redeem for great stuff, including movie tickets, inspired by Toy Story 3. There are about 14 different cereals that will earn you 1 point each and 6 points equals a FREE movie ticket. If you are a cereal eater, check your pantry and just purchase what you need to make up the difference in points. Much like the other programs, you only need to enter some codes online to print your tickets. This means that it is not too late to get the codes and get the tickets before the weekend.
If you would like to see more information on the Kellogg’s offer, simply head on over to their Free Stuff site.
