(Update: Many of the deals on this page are expired and therefore the links have been removed. This page is kept for reference)
As promised, here is the list for Cyber Monday Freebies, 2013. This list is not as extensive as the Black Friday Freebies 2013 list. Many of the freebies offered on Black Friday are intended to get customers into brick and mortar stores so that they’ll spend more. That tactic doesn’t work was well when getting people to make purchases online. Also, many freebies that are offered on Cyber Monday are not actually free since they often require shipping fees.
Capital One 360 Bank Freebies:
- Open an interest-earning free checking account for $125 free
- Open a savings account for $75 free
- Get $150 for opening a Share Builder account and making 3 trades (may require fees, $6.95 per trade, see their page for details)
- Fund a new IRA with share builder and get up to $1,000
- Get $1,000 off closing costs for home loans and a $250 Amazon gift card
- Also enter their sweepstakes for a chance to win $25,000
These offers were available starting Black Friday and they expire on Cyber Monday (Dec 2). Some of these accounts may require minimum deposits, but it’s still your money, so these deals are actually free. I usually advise against opening multiple credit card since too many credit cards can negatively affect your credit score. However, this is a checking and savings account, not a credit card account. Open as many different bank accounts as you want from as many different banks to get all kinds of bank freebies.

ThredUp, the used clothes online store, is offering $15 off any order with no minimum requirement and $3 shipping (not actually free due to the shipping, but pretty close. There are many items for $15 or less). Use coupon code CYBER13. There are many other codes that can be used with ThredUp; unfortunately the checkout only allows the use of one code.
Free Redbox movie rental today only, use coupon code YY55NMPQ.
Since Cyber Monday is predominantly an online venture, I’ll also include some web freebies (digital, non-tangible):
Amazon.com
These are available throughout the year. Check frequently for updates and new titles. If you look, you may also be able to find other free downloads through iTunes and Google Play.
For non-free deals on Cyber Monday check out the list at DealNews.com.
You can also try searching deals websites like Slickdeals.net for coupons that offer 100% off, such as “$10 off a purchase of $10 or more” (just change the amount with each search, $5, $20, etc.) and combine it with an online code that offers free shipping (I found one of these super combinations last year). If you purchased toys or apparel on Black Friday, keep your receipts. Shopping experts say that toys go on sale at even bigger discounts than Black Friday at two weeks before Christmas and you may be able to recover the difference. Also, expect to see a Super Saturday two weeks before Christmas where most stores in the mall will have a 70% off everything sale. Also, Free Shipping Day is December 18. Try to find online codes that give you 100% off the price of the item which can be used on free shipping day for deals that are actually free. For December, you can expect to see at least three blog posts: one on free Christmas Holiday activities, one about reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas, and one that details all the free Christmas gifts I got this year, which is probably over $500 worth, but the exact amount will be revealed later on (I’m not done calculating it yet, and I may get more freebies throughout December).
