CSN Rewards: $15 Credit + FREE Shipping!
UPDATE: Sorry, guys! It looks like they are now canceling orders and there was a mistake in the promotional credit. All I can say is that I’m very confused and I’m not really understanding what the problem is. In the email I received it states I have $15 in rewards–with no minimum purchase listed.
Wa-hoo! Here is yet another great online deal! Currently, CSNStores.com is offering up a $15 purchase credit! Plus, many items ship FREE! To get in on this deal, go on over here and sign up for CSN Rewards. After registering, you’ll be emailed a $15 off code to use at checkout.
Once you get your code start scrolling through all the items they have available and keep your eyes peeled for products that offer FREE shipping! One item that’s available is a 6-in-1 Wood Game box (just type that in the search box) priced at $14.99 with FREE shipping! After the $15 credit, you’ll be paying $0 out of pocket! Sweeeet!
(Thanks, SavingMoneyInToledo!)
yup cxl.. order this early am
The status of my order has changed from order being processed to “at warehouse.” No cancellation for me so far. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all you do Collin! There are always going to be a few rotten apples in the bunch;)
I just got an email confirmation stating that my order has shipped via FedEx. I ordered a light fixture that was around $17.50 with free shipping. After the $15 cpn it was only about $2.50. My email had a tracking number and everything. I’m crossing my fingers. This light was on clearance down from almost $70. I needed a new light fixture in my hallway. Thanks for all the great tips on this site!
Yup- canceled mine as well, so I called and he basically told me that they were getting a high number of fraudlent orders ( did not answer me exactly how they were fradulent) so they cancelled everyones orders, and offered a 20% off your NEXT purcahse- meaning you had to pay for what you ordered and could use it next go round.
It’s not that I am upset because I did not get “FREEBIE”- it’s just I think it is rediculous a company has a promo like this, and then back peddles. I recieve an email shortly after my confirmation offering me to refer other people- and that they “would recieve a 15 dollar credit for shopping, as well as I would recieve a 15 dollar credit once they paid” it even stated ” everyone wins!” – I asked about this, and he said the entire promo had been cancelled.
whatever 🙂 lol….
I saw this somewhere else last night, so it’s not Hip To Save’s fault that the deal didn’t work. These codes are all over the internet.
My order show shipped with a UPS tracking number and everything. Yay!
anon 12:30…
how about you go find your own deals 🙂
I just did this and it worked! Good thing ‘cuz I spent a bunch of time finding something that was $15 and had free shipping. Which I did — got some white LED Christmas lights — always handy! Got a confirmation — so we’ll see. Thanks Colin!
I am in total agreement about rude Anon 12:30. Seriously….that’s like getting mad at the mailman when you get a letter saying you’ve won something! Get a life and search for your own deals. This site is FREE and only passes along info she receives. So DEAL WITH IT when you spend a few precious moments of your time to work so hard on a deal that you really don’t even need that ends up not working.
And just on a side note people….most deals that state there’s going to be a mass give-away of anything of significant value (more than $5) typically are too good to be true.
I would definitely report it to the BBB. Even if a company claims they made a “mistake” – by the fair trade comissions rules, they are not allowed to “bait and switch” you – ie offer a $15 credit for any purchase and then change it to a $15 credit for a $50 purchase. It is a classic scam that is considered a very serious offense in the advertising world.
My order was just cancelled…
Ugh…they did cancel on me! Here is what I received:
I am writing to confirm that we have cancelled the following items from your order # at CSN Stores:
1) Guidecraft – Drivetime Signs (3 Pack) (Qty. 1)

Here is the response I received:
Hello XXXX,
Sorry for the confusion with this order. We have cancelled because the promotional code was used in violation of our Terms and Conditions. We have a $50 minimum per order and only one order per household is permitted on this promotional code. These are also for new customers only. Unfortunately, we have had fraud issues with this promotion and this has forced us to take appropriate action.
If you have any more questions or concerns, please email me back or give us a call at (800) 593-5251. Thank you for shopping with CSN Stores!
I was able to place 2 orders – in amounts OVER the $15 discount, but far less than $50 – and have received shipping confirmations/tracking numbers for both. Originally they did send a cancelation for 1 of the orders, but I called CS and they agreed to ship it with the discount. That was a lovely gesture, but overall, what a marketing nightmare and CS this has been!
Just got off of the phone with CSN. They will not budge. $15 credit is gone. Only thing they offered was my item at 20% off. So frustrated because I purchased an item over $15 that did not have free shipping. I didn’t do anything wrong. Grrr!
well i just wanted to say that i got a letter today saying my order has been SHIPPED! so thank you collin all i had to pay was for shipping soo woohoo! guess i got lucky
so take that anon at 12:30.
Mine has shipped as well. Ordered 15.99 product, pd about $7 oop. Thanks so much, HIP!
