Mixbook: *HOT!* FREE Hardcover Photo Book ($29.99 Value!) + FREE Shipping
NEW UPDATE: Sorry, all! 🙁 I just heard word from the company that this promotion is now over! So frustrating, I know. This is what they stated in the email they sent out, “Thank you for participating in our free 11×8.5″ photo book promotion, we wanted to give you guys a new update. Due to the huge popularity, the coupon code FREEBK has reached it’s maximum usage and is no longer valid at this point.”
UPDATE: This code is only valid today, 6/30.
Wowza! Check out this *HOT* photo deal! Mixbook.com is offering up a FREE 11×8.5″ Classic Landscape Hardcover book ($29.99 value!) + FREE shipping!
Just follow these directions…
* Go here and choose the 11×8.5″ Classic Landscape Hardcover photo book.
* Make sure to un-check the box (that looks like the pic below). If you don’t, you won’t be able to edit down the amount of pages to 20 or under (and you have to have 20 or less pages to get the book for FREE)
* Delete pages (to get down to 20) by picking a page (not the front or back cover) and finding the Page Tools box to the right, then clicking on “Remove Page”.
*Start the checkout process and use coupon code FREEBK
*Your final cost will be $0 with FREE shipping… and that’s for a photo book valued at $29.99! 😀
(Thanks, Mojo Savings!)
Does anyone know when this expires?
mojosavings says it’s valid today only.
Today…
If you get more than 20 pages the cost is only $5
does anyone know if you have to use a credit card?
Yes, you do have to use a CC for them to process your order.
thank you!!
awesome!
Great book…thanks! Great backgrounds!
How do we know this expires today? Usually you have a few days to make the book. Not so with this deal? I’m just wondering how fast I have to make it
Do you need to choose blank canvas or can you pick a theme?
You can pick any theme 🙂 I did.
Did you include pix?
I added a whole bunch of pictures, changed the layouts, added text, added different sticker pictures they had where I wanted them. Lots of options. When I was done, had 20 pages oredered, entered code, credit card info (even though it was free…I spent all that time in it, so oh well) Said I’d get it by July 14th.
I love this one. It is really cute and fast to use! I picked the <3 birds!
Do you have to do a blank canvas or can you choose a theme?
Collin, can you confirm that this is today only?
please let us know… It’d be awesome if it was a bit longer. My 18 Month old is about to be a big brother and this would be an awesome idea for him too look back upon. 🙂
Don’t know about the time limit but in the past few weeks it seems like there were 3 or 4 of these deals at the various stores. So maybe it’ll be offered again close to Christmas?
Has anyone ever ordered through them? Did you like the product?
I ordered birth announcements and loved them. Great quality!
M friend ordered through here for their wedding guestbook. It was AMAZING!!! GREAT QUALITY!!
Does it have to be blank or is it okay to add the pix and choose a theme?
i chose the blank book, it only has 5 pages??? i guess i can add up to 19 and be ok?? it’s taking a long time to upload the photos.
mine is taking long to upload too!
Mine too 🙁
Does anyone know how to cancel an upload on this site?
IT SAYS 19 HOURS TO UPLOAD MY PICTURES…
my pics were taking forever 2 upload after a while i noticed 1 pic was not moving it was staying on 87% loading i just deleted that pic and the rest started loading quick good luck!
Mine too .It said 3Days to upload!! I think the deal would expire then.Lol
I will try it again later 🙂
Thanks for that tip! It really does help!
it might be stuck trying to upload ONE pic, try deleting that pic. I did that and now its uploading quickl
Where do you see a delete option?
Do you have to make your book today, or can you just get it setup and use the coupon code when it’s complete? Great deal but full day planned.
got mine! 🙂
good to know it is working–thanks. i know that the website says you can create and SHARE ONLINE FOR FREE. hoping this actually comes in the mail. 🙂
As much as I would love to do this, the editing is almost not worth it.
The pages are not laying out without a ton of work. Might try to come back to this, but the software needs improving. Either that or too many people trying to do it and the site is overwhelemed.
sigh. 🙁
I discovered that too. I thought I would have to adjust each photo to fill their layouts. Here is a trick you can click on all their layouts and delete them. That way you can fill a blank canvas.
Chris- I had the same experience with VistaPrint photobooks.. good deal but it took me HOURS to get the formatting right.
I can’t figure out how to upload FB pictures. Either I need more coffee or just let this one pass me by… 🙁 I just ordered a small brag book from the free Walgreens deal last week but this one is bigger, better and FREE S&H. Will re-visit during nap time. If anyone figures out the facebook connection, please let me know! TY!!!
Yes..I need help with uploading facebook pictures too..I cannot figure it out!
I had trouble too…but when I only loaded 5 at a time it worked. Now I’m having other issues though.
Awesome deal! code worked great and I’ll get my book on July 14! great deal for nice looking photo book with a lot of options!
I agree…been working now for 30 minutes and this is taking FOREVER! Going to find a better way to spend my day!
Do we have to upload our pictures online?
I am so excited about this freebie!!! Thanks, Collin!
Uh, my pics are taking forever to load, plus it says that some are going to turn out blurry–when I know they are good pics.
It said it would take THREE DAYS for 40 pics to upload. Nice. No wonder it’s free.
That is about what I got too!! Little frustrating…..
It is slow but I have already loaded 7 pictures in about 10 mins. I have 24 pictures all together to load so hopefully it isn’t much longer then 1/2 hour…. and I can deal with that for a completely free photo book for my niece’s sweet 16 🙂
I uploaded over 100 this morning…takes awhile for some. So there is a hide this option at bottom of the upload box. Then you can start working on your book with the pictures that have already loaded. Hope this helps!
That helped me a ton! Thanks!
Upload went on and on (after 15 min., I cancelled it). Just kept saying Processing, Processing, Processing. I only was loading 7 pictures. It failed.
i am in the process of uploading. first it says 2 days, then 22 hours, then 14, but now it is back up to 20. LOL. Maybe I can run out and do errands while the computer works on uploading and I can do it tonight.
Can someone confirm if the code still works if you change the theme? It says free “classic landscape” but Im confused if its just the classic landscape book or if I need to pick the classic mixbook theme too
I changed theme and it worked just fine! Picked the $29.99 landscape, hardcover and it was free!! Enjoy!
Thanks!!
can you change the theme? the theme i picked won’t lad.
Does anyone know if this is only for first time users or not? I have made Mixbooks before and loved them. I wonder if it will be free for a returning customer or not?
totally love the complaining from people when this is COMPLETELY free! Beggars can’t be choosers people. Of course the site is moving like molasses, it is a free photo book and this deal is all over the blogosphere!
not complaing. just saying that even free isn’t worth the frustration and time its taking to load.
Agree 🙂
amen.
I agree….I selected 7 pictures to upload. I left my house and went to the DMV of all places, got home and not a single picture has finished uploading. Definitely better ways to spend the day!
Thanks for this posting. I am super-duper excited!!
Time remaining to upload says 2 days 🙁 is anybody else having this problem?
Ya, this was a waste of time. Maybe later this evening the site won’t be so SLOW! It would only upload like 5 pictures and it wouldn’t upload the rest. Darn. I wanted to do this.
So after trying to stop my pics from uploading, and couldn’t. I then refreshed the page, it stopped it, but now it says that I can “contribute to “Tanisha’s Book”, who is Tanisha, and why does it show my book with me and hubby on the cover as her’s? I am so confused!
Ah, I wish I had my wedding photos!! We are waiting on the disc to be mailed to us with full rights to the photos!!
I got a tip from another blog awhile ago…when doing a free offer and you have to enter in a cc number, use an old or expired gift card. I have done this before and it works great and you don’t have to worry about entering your personal cc number! Hope this helps:)
like one of the credit card gift cards or can it be any gift card? And what do you put in for the expiration date?
mine is taking too long to upload also!!!!!!! 🙁
Their site is unbelievably slow. I tried to upload 32 photos and it told me it would take 19 HOURS! It also takes forever just to navigate through the site…i don’t know if it’s due to overwhelming traffic or not, but this is worthless. Conveniently, their “live chat” is not even available until 12 noon eastern time, so you can’t even ask themn what the problem is!
It says the time needed to load my photos: 3 days! LOL
Im done with making the book but now it says its saving my work… for the past 5 mins.
I have ordered a book from them and it is beautiful.
Just Curious! If its totally free then why do they need my credit card information???
Mine wasn’t doing anything with the pictures so I started over, (with about 40 pictures) and it is downloading pretty quick, it says about 4 minutes. Hopefully it works!
Just tried to upload 1 photo and it just keeps saying processing for the past 20 minutes now. I’m just going to patiently wait and let it load. Hopefully someone has a quicker way of uploading.
same here
Same here. Tried uploading 1 picture, it’s been processing for 40mins. Ugggh
Does anyone know, if i were to put layouts on the pages and leave the photos blank since it is taking awhile, can i add the pictures at home…. Like, are the pages the type of quality that you can add actual photos to?
Why do i have to give my credit card information if its totally free? just curious
Horrible.
this is taking forever to even load. – i haven’t even gotten to the option to upload pics yet =\
How sad! I got way too excited about getting this free and it’s not even working! I’ve been able to upload ONE picture in an hour.
i hope not. that is sad
I have tried to order 2 times everytime i actually get the book finished i go to order and it kicks me off the site completely…..i so want this deal but dont think i am gonna waste anymore time thankss though for the info on it
I found the fastest way to get photos on the site is to use my Picasa web albums. SUPER fast!
I was about to say my Flickr photos went super fast, from my computer is taking forever.
Been loading photos for a half hour now. On the verge of just giving up…or maybe waiting till later tonight.
I think I’ll try later, too.
Wonder if the deal expires Midnight, EST?
Good news and bad news…
Good news; hip2save posts another great deal.
Bad news; the whole world’s watching! (Can’t get through)
