City Rewards Network

"Print coupons and save at favorite stores, restaurants."

Cityrewardsnetwork.com
This is probably the biggest coupon site, at least in terms of traffic. Since they offer an affiliate program, many smaller sites direct you to swfloridarewards.com for coupons.

Once inside swfloridarewards.com, you'll find a selection of coupons. For example, in May 2007 they provided a total of 48 coupons for our sw Florida, all for "Restaurants".

cityrewardsnetwork is actually more than a printable coupon site. They are a hybrid. There are links to other "savings", though these are nothing special. You can probably can not get these deals yourself.

International reply coupons

An international reply coupon (IRC) is a coupon that can be exchanged for one or more postage stamps representing the minimum postage for an unregistered priority airmail letter sent to another Universal Postal Union (UPU) member country. IRCs are accepted by all UPU member countries.

UPU member postal services are obliged to exchange an IRC for postage, but are not obliged to sell them. I checked swfloridarewards.com for the coupons I do not think they have them yet.

The purpose of the IRC is to be able to send someone in another country a letter, along with the cost of postage for them to reply. If the addressee is within the same country, there is no need for an IRC because a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) will suffice; but if the addressee is in another country an IRC removes the necessity of acquiring foreign postage or sending appropriate currency.

Sell your coupons online

For a long time people have saved money by clipping coupons. Now people are selling coupons on the Internet to make an extra income. They sell coupons they clipped out of newspapers on auctions sites like eBay and Yahoo. Now with the power of the Internet you can find many more coupons quickly and easily. In fact, you can have them mailed to you home free! We want to help you to can start making some extra cash today.


Years ago, finding coupons involved the time-consuming job of searching through newspaper advertisement sections for deals and discounts. You'd search for the coupons you needed and clip them out with a pair of scissors. Coupon clipping was tedious work back then and remembering to take clipped coupons along on shopping excursions was difficult for many people. Still, paper coupons provided good savings and many people used them.



Today, more and more individuals are turning to online coupons for saving money. Instead of fooling around with newsprint and scissors, they are using computers to find coupons and coupon codes. The Internet offers a wealth of coupons, and savvy users can save a bundle using them. Best of all, there is no clipping or storing involved and you can search for online coupons and codes anytime you need them.



Wondering how to find new coupons? It is surprisingly easy. First, think about the online stores and websites you frequent on a regular basis. Most of them probably offer some type of online coupons. Each time you are considering a purchase, check the online store or websites you normally patronize for coupon deals. You will likely find at least a few coupons this way.



Next, check out sites that offer online coupons and coupon codes. Such sites are often a bargain lovers dream, featuring discount codes and coupons for everything from baby powder and diapers to clothing and fine jewelry. In fact, there are so many available coupon deals that you are actually doing yourself a disservice by paying full price for just about anything.



Online coupon sites are set up in a variety of ways. Some compile coupons under specific headings. For example, some online coupon sites list coupons for DVD players under the heading of electronics and magazine coupons under the book and magazine heading. Some online coupon sites place discount deals in easy to use databases, while others use links to advertise coupon deals.



Many online coupon websites list coupons according to brand or manufacturer names, while others supply a daily listing of the best coupon deals. Let your personal shopping style directly influence your online coupon search. If you're a person who likes to dig and search for deals, you might like one of the coupon sites that throws hundreds of coupons together and lets you search for deals. However, if you prefer to have your deals and discounts provided for you, with little searching required, you might prefer one of the websites that sorts online coupons and coupon codes for you by category, brand, or manufacturer. You may also find it useful to peruse a few different coupon sites and bookmark those you like best for regular use.



You can find online coupon sites that feature coupons for hundreds of products or sites that feature only a specific type of product. For example, you can find coupon sites for electronics only or sites that have coupons and codes for electronics in addition to just about anything else you can imagine. Some coupon sites allow you to select the types of coupons you wish to view, enabling you to target your coupon search and avoid viewing online coupons in which you have absolutely no interest. There are even some websites that offer automatic e-mail notification of new coupons from particular stores or in certain categories. Automatic e-mail notification makes finding and using online coupons practically effortless.



Many people think online coupon sites are limited to coupons, deals, and discounts made only for the Internet. This is a misconception, as many sites feature coupons for use both on and off the Internet. For example, you may find a Gap coupon that can be used online, as well as in your local Gap store. By contrast, most print coupons cannot be used online. Online coupons can be easily printed for use in brick and mortar stores.



In addition to online coupons, many coupon sites feature product reviews. These reviews are typically provided by average consumers and can give you valuable insight into items you may wish to buy. This is especially true of items like electronics, which are manufactured by many different companies. Product reviews can assist you in choosing such items wisely.



Do yourself a favor and forget about clipping coupons. Wash the newsprint off your hands and toss your scissors in a drawer. All you need to find great coupons and online coupon sites like swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com and your computer and access to the Internet. Saving money has never been easier.

Coupon Comments!

I thought I would post some e mails I received from other coupon people.
Years ago, I clipped coupons. I'd gleefully stuff them into my coupon envelope, thinking how much money I'd save next time I went to the store. But what I discovered is that 99.9% of the coupons stayed in that envelope. Why? Because a) the products that were being promoted were not ones I usually buy or even wanted to buy (i.e. they were unhealthy, didn't taste good, etc.); or b) the savings were illusory (i.e. I was getting 20% of a product that had been marked up 20%).

Since then, I've put more effort into just finding stores that carry the lowest prices on things I actually want. Because when you think about it, why would a store or manufacturer keep issuing coupons week in and week out if the practice didn't ultimately INCREASE their profits?

Comment Two

Coupons have the magic power of making me spend more money than I otherwise would. If I receive a coupon that gives me say 20% off all of my purchases at a particular store, then I immediately head over there and buy something(s)More than I expected. My point being that if the coupon had never showed up, I would never have gone into that store and spent money. Instead of saving me 20%, it's costing me the price of the items less 20%.

Advertising You Restaurant Florida

Restaurants don’t usually have the resources to launch huge advertising blitzes in multiple media formats. In fact, even if you are already in business, chances are you don’t have an extensive cash allocation earmarked for promotion, or you’ve tried many different advertising approaches and vehicles and haven’t hit on a really successful campaign yet.
Advertising is extremely expensive. Despite adequate funding, even large national companies often find it difficult to develop successful advertising campaigns. And, with an increasing number of companies advertising through every imaginable communication avenue, it is becoming increasingly hard to attract the attention of consumers. We have found that working with swfloridarewards,com and cityrewardsnetwork.com has had the best response.

However, there are internet approaches to promotion. They generally require less money to implement and are often more effective. You don’t have to distribute coupons in print advertising or in big direct mail campaigns. You can hand them out on the street corner, at trade shows, or just about anyplace else. You can send a few to your best customers, or you can include “next purchase” coupons in customer orders. Or add links from your website to swfloridarewards.com.

Coupons can be “quick and dirty” to design and print because their selling point is price, not image. To assure your chances of getting an additional sale or establishing an ongoing relationship with your customers, make your coupon offer exceedingly generous. Always ask you SW Florida Media Group sales rep for a list of best offers. Naples,Bonita Springs,Estero,Fort Myers,Cape Coral,Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda,Venice Florida.

Carpet Cleaning coupons

There are several companies ins Naples,Fort Myers, Port Charlotte that have legitimate coupons and special offers for carpet cleaning like swfloridarewards.com. Unfortunately there are many more that have offers that are just too good to be true.
You may have seen an ad in a local paper or received a coupon for carpet cleaning with several offers. These may read "One room-$4.95" or "5 Rooms for $24.95". Many of our current customers have tried these so called 'deals' in the past before turning to us for service.

The question you are probably asking is "How do they do it?". Equipment is expensive, soap and cleaners are expensive, employees aren't free, so just how can a company clean your home for less than what it costs to rent a machine from your local hardware store?

The truth is 'bait and switch'. These coupons are meant to reel you in, get you to call and then slowly find out the truth about hidden charges. You may pay extra for travel charges, two man crews, preconditioning, scotchgard, sanitizing etc.

While scotchgard is a great idea to protect your carpet keep in mind that these companies need to sell this to you and in some cases may require it because they need to charge you what the really need to make, not what the coupon says.

Upon arrival a carpet technician may explain to you that your carpet is much dirtier than expected and preconditioning is a must. Measure your home and you will find out that the same 5 rooms of cleaning now costs $160, not $24.95. That may not even account for the travel charges and 'sanitizing' or whatever extra charges they may try to tack on. Closets, hallways, entry ways, all of these will probably be considered rooms so make that clear too.

And don't forget about stairs. This is usually left out of an ad as some companies may charge you 3 or 4 dollars for each stair to make up the difference for that coupon.

Once they are in your home you will feel pressured and possibly too embarassed to say no. Ultimately what you will find out what we already know, you cannot clean a whole home properly for $50 and remain in business.

Finally, The equipment and materials used in cleaning your carpet are crucial for good results. A high quality soap can make the difference not only when cleaning your carpet but it staying clean. Cheap soap is sticky and your carpets will resoil quickly. Good equipment and a good technician make a big difference as well. At the end of the day you will realize that instead of saving $50 you just threw $100 out the window.

If you are currently holding a coupon in your hand we ask that you chesk cityrewardsnetwork.com.

When not to use coupons! Florida

Know when NOT to use coupons. When is a coupon not a good deal? Knowing this can be as helpful to you as the coupon itself. In most cases, the generic version of what you're buying is cheaper than the more expensive counterpart even WITH a coupon. You may be asking yourself, "So why even bother? Why not just purchase generics?" You will need to become coupon-savvy in order to recognize when coupons are a good deal and when they're not. Coupons work best when they're combined with another deal or are doubled. Carry a small calculator in your purse to help you calculate the price per unit when you're shopping.always check swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com daily for new online coupons.

Organize! Make coupons easy to file and easy to use. I used to have my coupons clumped together in an envelope in my purse. I could never find the coupons I needed, and I ended up throwing out expired coupons I could have used. I use a large plastic index-card box for my coupons now. I have it divided by categories such as: canned goods, baby products, cereal, baking, dairy, etc. After serious couponing for a few months, you will discover which categories work the best for you.

Use Coupons Florida

What is a Coupon?
A coupon is a certificate with a stated value if it is used when purchasing a specific product or service. The consumer presents the coupon to the restaurant or retailer selling the product at the time of purchase. The restaurant will reduce the cost of the dinner by the specified amount on the coupon.

Coupons are issued by businesses to give consumers immediate discounts on the purchase of the specified items, which may be virtually any product found in retail stores.

Most coupons are distributed to consumers in internet on swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com.



How can I use coupons?
It’s easy to use coupons. Simply print them off of the internet or other source, and present them to the cashier when you purchase the product specified on the coupon.

You will get an immediate savings in the amount of the value printed on the coupon. The restaurant of the dinner absorbs this cost. So go out to eat Naples,Bonita Springs,Estero,Fort Myers,Cape Coral,Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda,Venice.


Persons purchasing coupons have often been associated with organized criminal activities. They often purchase the coupons as one aspect of a scheme to defraud the coupon issuers/manufacturers, usually by seeking to redeem coupons without purchasing any products. Individuals selling coupons to such crime rings have been charged with and convicted of criminal violations.



Can I buy coupons?
No, there are good reasons not to purchase coupons. You can get them for free on line at swfloridarewards.com or cityrewardsnetwork.com. In addition to being in violation of the manufacturers’ policies, it simply does not make sense to pay for something that is given away for free.
