Darn – this is over already. 🙁

Head on over to Michael’s.com where you can currently snag up to 5 FREE Holiday Card Samples + FREE Shipping when you enter the promo code 5FREE at checkout! Just click on the card(s) you’d like to order and then click on the gray “Order Sample” button and they’ll be added to your cart.

Keep in mind that these free samples cannot be personalized and will arrive exactly as they are shown online. With that being said, keep your eyes peeled for cards that are generic with no personalized names displayed on them, or look for cards with initials that match your own. Sounds good to me!

(Thanks, Free Stuff Times & V!)

    I am not seeing the 5 free cards? cards have minimum 25, what am I missing

    • Kara

      choose “order sample” underneath the drop down box where you choose how many 🙂

  2. Catie

    How do you select just one of each card?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sorry for the confusion – just updated the post with more details. Be sure to click on the “Order” Sample button for the 5 holiday cards that you’d like to order. Choose 5 of the same or different cards.

  3. Sarah

    Click order sample next to each card

  4. bhink26

    I got it! Had to refresh the “cart” page a dozen times but I finally got through!

  5. Alea

    Promo code no longer available. 🙁

    • Ashley57

      I was able to get it to apply – I haven’t gone through checkout yet, but I think it is still valid.

  6. Suzanne

    Wow, Thank you Collin! Bring on the Holidays 🙂

  7. shalini

    You can choose the multiples of the same card , they don’t have to be all different.

  8. jennifer e

    got it. thanks!

  9. Katie

    The website was extremely slow and gave me an error twice. I was able to get them finally after refreshing a few times and probably 15 minutes of processing time.

  10. Diana

    promo code no longer avail

  11. Kathy M

    Anyone know if you are you able to personalize 5 free sample cards?

  12. Melgie

    I was little confused at first but I figured it out. Yay! I got 5 different Christmas Cards. Thank you, Collin:)

  13. Joy

  17. Heather

    It just worked for me at 4:02pm Central Time, it was just really slow. Thank you Collin!!

  18. Renee

    did anybody have to enter payment information?

    • fran

      No, not at all!

    • Heather

      Nope, no credit card need! 🙂

      • Renee

        Thank Fran and Heather. Every time I click on the link to Enter payment information, it keeps giving me a message about internal server error

    • Kayla

      No, I didn’t have to enter any card info!

      • Renee

        Thanks everybody. It finally went through for me. Appreciate your updates.

        • fran

          You’re welcome, Renee. I have a suggestion for when an offer does ask for a CC#. If you have any debit cards with little or no balance, use those. I’ve often read on here where readers used a debit card with no balance and their order went through (I’m referring to a “free” offer).

          • Renee

            Good idea. Thanks Fran.

  19. Kara

    Got mine to work! First time when I was checking out it said I owed $10, then I went back re entered the code and it went through the second time 🙂

  20. Kayla

    I got them! Thank you!

  24. brdavis55

    Whew. Got my 5 free cards, took a few min. guessing the site is getting hit hard. Thank u Collin, love to get free cards. Haven’t seen these free cards posted in awhile.

  25. Betsy

    Michaels website if horrible, even when it’s not getting a lot of traffic. I don’t want to waste my time anymore. I tried four times to no avail.

  26. Mama6

    I hate when you have to put in your credit card info for something free. I’ll pass. 🙁

    • Renee

      You don’t have to enter any credit card info, when you click on the button it processes your order and shows the zero balance. Try again. It took a while but it finally went through for me.

    • v

      I missed a step first time around and went back and entered the “code” and didn’t have to enter any payment source info. It asked for billing info at the bottom of the page..I clicked on that and it simply took me beyond having to enter a payment source. I entered mailing info later on. I got a confirmation showing “$0.00” due. It repeated my mailing address in the billing address confirmation info. But no billing source had to be used.

  27. sarah

    I got a confirmation number from the website but have not received a confirmaion e-mail.

    • DC

      Same here!!

  28. Diana

    Yay! Thank u!

  29. DC

    Site is running very slow, but it does indeed work! Thanks so much – never can have too many holiday cards! Cute ones, too! 🙂

  30. deb

    Site is slow, but be patient plzzz. it does work. got my email confirm. thanks so much! I luv Michaels <3

  31. Nikki

    Site says “Promo code no longer valid”.

  32. Jan

    I’ve received samples cards before (Tiny Prints?) and there were watermark company logos or the word “sample” on them so they were of no use. Not sure if this will be the case with Michaels.

    • evapory

      When I had cards that said “sample” or “your company name here” on them, depending where it was on the card, I just covered it with a pretty Christmas sticker or design.

  33. Jen

    Yeah, I wouldn’t bother spending a ton of time on these as most will probably have something like “your company name here” inside the card.

  34. Sarah P.

    It froze on me while I was processing checkout and now says the promo code is no longer valid. 🙁

  35. mikeB

    WOW!!!! this isnt worth iit….

  36. Colleen

    Finally got everything in my cart and it says the promo code is no longer valid

  37. Katie

    Promo code no longer valid for me too! Darn (although if they do have “company name here” on them, they might not be that great anyways….and only a few I saw without family pictures on them).

    Must be too late.

  38. Kathy

    got message “promo code no longer valid”

  39. Ella

    No longer available..wierd because the ad on michaels page said the promocode should still be ok until the 28th?

  40. deziree

    Says the promo code is no longer valid. 🙁

  41. Beaux

    Promo code no longer valid 🙁

  42. Tinamarie Cox

    Just tried this and it says promo code is no longer valid =(
    Got so excited about this too….
    =(

  43. HR

    It worked for me, website was slow and the email took a good while to come through…then about 20 minutes later it seems to no longer be working when my sis tried – “Promo code no longer valid.”

  44. Karen

    I tried 4 times to checkout. It lost it every time! I think the server got overwhelmed. Now the promo code is not valid

  45. jeanne

    SITE SAYS PROMO CODE NO LONGER VALID

  46. HW

    Got – No longer valid 🙁

  47. meggie

    Getting the message “promo code no longer valid”

  48. berda

    i couldn’t do it coz it’s said no longer valid. or system error

  49. Becky

    I get an error message saying the promo code is no longer valid…

  50. Theresa

    I went in to order right after Collin posted. I got all the way to checkout and then the screen froze. I kept refreshing and finally managed to get my name and address entered. Then, everything froze up again. After many attempts to get past that stage, I gave up on it. I just checked my email, and apparently one of my attempts worked. So, if you got as far as I did, you may still get the offer. Also, I noticed I had to use 5FREE (meaning caps) and there is a box under that you need to check…something like you read the official rules.
