This is a deal that seems too good to be true. Send someone 18 roses for free? I actually tried it and it works!
“Footballentine’s Day” is totally a made up holiday by 1800Flowers, but it does have some merit. A lot of wives will find themselves ignored on Sunday while their husbands watch football all day. In my house, it’s the other way around…so I may need to send these roses to my husband!
Fake holiday aside, you really can send a bouquet of 18 roses for free. Visa has launched a new “Visa Checkout” where you set up an account with your credit card and can just enter that information when you make purchases rather than your whole credit card number. You can create that account when you make this purchase.
I went through the whole process and here is how it works:
Shipping and handling for me was $14.99. That is really not too bad to pay to send someone a box of roses.
- Click on the link for the Happy Footballentine’s Day Roses offer.
- Select the regular 18 roses (you can upgrade for a fee)
- Add them to your card
- Choose delivery date of September 5 or 6
- Choose to pay by VISA checkout
- Add a message to you card about anything you want
- Create a VISA checkout account that uses your…VISA card
- Put in the promo code VISA63 (they do not autopopulate this)
- Pay shipping and handling.
What will you do with your $15 roses? Send them to a friend or family member “Just Because”? Use the opportunity to get cheap flowers for someone without them knowing they are cheap?
