I’m usually not a big fan of paying for coupon books since I always forget to use them, but here is a way to get free access to Entertainment Book Online. Just visit this page, and enter the Access Code OPADINE08 (looks expired), or try OPADINE. You don’t need to provide a name or credit card number. Via SD.

After joining, you are allowed to print coupons for 10 “Premium Discounts” per month, which is often something like Buy-1-Entree-Get-1-Free or 20% off your bill at participating restaurants. I never seem to like any of these restaurants, but it’s worth a quick search by zip code. They seem to restrict the easy searches to Dining, but you can go to their regular page and find all their offers. Then go back and run a text search.

One option is to run a search for “blockbuster”, where you can print out a coupon for a free 12-month membership to the Blockbuster Rewards program. Retail value is ~$10, and includes one free Non-New Release Movie rental coupon each month.

Added: You can get another 3 Premium Discounts per month at this page. You’ll need to sign up as a new member again, but it is easier to search through non-Dining offers on this page for some reason.

Right now you can get $10 off your next Amazon.com order when you sign up for a free 1-month trial of Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime gives you free 2-day shipping on any purchase with no minimum order, so you don’t even need to get to $25 for the usual Super Saver Shipping. For example, you could order something priced at $12 for only $2 with free 2-day shipping. Via SD.

Promotional offer valid until July 28, 2008. Customer must sign up for a new Amazon Prime Free Trial by July 28th, 2008 and redeem promotional credit before August 28, 2008.

This offer is for accounts who have never signed up for Amazon Prime, trial or not. So if you are already logged in under another account on your computer, you may not see this offer. You will need to logout and either login into a different valid account or open up a new account. The cool part about Amazon Prime trials is that you can set it not to auto-renew ahead of time, so you don’t have to remember to cancel. Here’s how:

1. Click on Your Account.
2. If you’re not there yet, scroll down and click on Subscriptions Management > Manage Your Amazon Prime Membership.
3. Look for green text. Click on the Do Not Upgrade button and you won’t automatically be charged $79 anymore. You’ll still get the entire 1st month of free Amazon Prime shipping.

To get your free Schick Quattro Razor, visit ShaveRyanNyquist.com, click to Enter the site, and vote on which facial hair design you want him to have. When they ask you if you want a free razor sample as well, click on “Sure Man”. If it tells you “Sorry, no more samples. Next time pedal faster”, try again later or with a different web browser. It appears to be a little hit and miss, but should come through eventually. Via FW.

First a razor giveaway involving a weird pillow fight video, now one where you get to influence an X-games athlete’s facial hair. Where do they get these ideas? I almost want to tell them to lay off the pot.

Y’all know how much I like them free razors. And this one comes with a trimmer! Via SlickDeals.

• If you’re at work, turn the sound down. Although not obscene, this involves is a pillow fight with lots of girls squealing. My wife was very curious as to what I was doing online…
• Now go to TrimFlixx.com and enter your birthdate (must be 18 years old to get the free razor).
• Upload an image when asked, any will do. If you need one, try downloading this to your Desktop first for some laughs at the expense of the world’s richest man.
• Finish and play the movie, and then click on the Save button on the bottom. Check the box “Throw in a Free Sample while you’re at it.” and fill out your info. Hope it comes!

The NY Times reports that Starbucks has a new rewards program where you can get free soy milk/syrup, free same-visit refills on drip coffee (hot or iced), and two free hours of WiFi per day. It’s free to sign up, but you will need a Starbucks gift card to do so. In addition, if you sign up by July 14th you’ll get a coupon for a “free handcrafted beverage”. Might be worth buying a $5 gift card next time and turning this into a buy one get one free offer.

This isn’t bad for me. I usually use the Starbucks as a place for reading/studying and often drink the house coffee anyway, so now a $2.50 coffee also gives me free refills and internet access.

Still more proof that recession is upon us… Sports car maker Saleen is offering folks a $25 gift card for test-driving one of their speedy but expensive cars. Pictured above is a Saleen-modified Ford Mustang S281 RF with 465 horsepower, 425 lb-ft. of torque, and an MSRP of $50,000. Not a bad weekend idea if you are vehicularly-inclined and have a dealer near you. Via Slickdeals.

I still had a fun time when we got paid $50 worth of steaks to test drive a $150,000 Maserati, now I’m just waiting for someone to pay me to test drive a Ferrari!
