Some rumours have been surfacing on in the forum, mentioning that TD Bank will soon and once again offer a free iPod shuffle or nano if you transfer your account from another bank to theirs’.

I couldn’t verify this news, but considering the huge success of this event last year and the year before, I wouldn’t be surprised if TD Bank offer this promo again. If anyone works at TD Bank and gets more info please let me know and I will post it here.

If you want to prepare for this event, first step is to open an account at another bank. PC Financial is a good choice since they offer accounts with no annual fees.

Here is the information from last years’ event

This has been one of the most popular freebies on the forum so I’m sharing it with my blog readers too 🙂

I posted this a long long time ago so thought I’d post it here again for those who missed it the first time round.

So you’re not a student but you still want to make use of the loads of shopping benefits the Student Price Card (SPC) offers? Here’s the solution:

Subscribe to Lou Lou magazine for 1 year for $17.95 here and you’ll get an SPC VIP card. On this VIP card it says “Student ID Not Required VIP”.

Even for $17.95 (instead of $10 for the regular SPC) I still think this card is worth it. You’ll also get Lou Lou magazine which in my honest opinion is one of the more interesting and useful magazines out there. I think it’s much better than Roger Publishing’s other fashion magazine, Flare.
