Ok, so this isn't the GREATEST rewards program out there, but it is nice to have the opportunity to get something back for all those diaper changes, even if it isn't much. I only use pampers, so of course I decided to participate. It gives me a little (and I must stress LITTLE) something positive about all those boxes of diapers I buy.

The rewards aren't the best, and there aren't tons to chose from, but I can usually find something fun to redeem my points for.  You have to check the site often because the rewards come and go like clockwork. I have learned not to get my heart set on redeeming for a particular item because it may be gone by the time you save enough to get it. The shipping isn't too bad for each item, I have done ebay in the past and know that shipping can be ridiculous, so I don't even flinch at that. On the items I have gotten so far, I have gotten them at about a 50% discount off of retail price if you count the shipping as cost. We have gotten some really cute things too. I got her a lego train, a sorting house with stacking pieces, also by lego, and some board books. The turn around time is great as well, I usually received my items in about 3 to 5 days.

My biggest complaint is that when I first had my daughter, I threw away tons of packages without knowing what the code inside was for. I wish that they had a little more promotion or advertising for this program so that I would have known what it was. If I hadn't have been told to sign up on their website to receive coupons, I would have never have known what those little stickers were for. Hmmm, wonder how many other goodies I could have gotten.

So, if you are buying pampers anyhow, this is a great bonus, but it isn't anything to specifically buy that brand for. Just think of it as a little extra perk for buying diapers.

I think a lot of rewards programs are not advertised to save them money...I could be wrong but it sure seems like it. ;)

Seems silly doesn't it, to not advertise this to increase sales. That must be why they get paid millions to come up with this stuff and I pay millions to buy it! LOL!!!

I know how you feel I had no clue that was what those stickers were for till you told me and sadly all the parents at the daycare didn't know either!
