Day 9: Energizer Batteries Online Movie Rental Reward Review & Giveaway

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!  Every day from now through December 11, a new giveaway will be featured!    We have many great prizes lined up so be sure to visit every day to enter each new giveaway! Please note that prizes are not guaranteed to arrive before Christmas.

The holiday season is here and if you're anything like me, that means it's time to stock up on batteries!  Energizer is running a great promotion on specially-marked packages of Energizer® Ultimate Lithium, Energizer® Advanced Lithium, and Energizer® Recharge AA batteries: receive a free online movie on demand rental reward code!  The online movie rental code is valid through 4/30/12 so there's plenty of time to use it.

I chose to try out Energizer Recharge batteries since we already have a set that we use and have found that rechargeable batteries are so handy!  And with two small kids and their toys and gadgets, is it even possible for me to have too many batteries?  No, no, it is not!

Redeeming my rental code was pretty simple, but I did make one big mistake during the checkout process on Amazon.com... but I'll get to that in a second.  Anyway, first I visited the Energizer movies page to enter the claim code from my package of batteries.  I had the option of choosing Amazon, Blockbuster, iTunes, or YouTube for my movie rental and I chose Amazon because like any deal savvy person, I just love them.  :)    Energizer then issued me a 16-digit Discover card code which could be used on any movie rental valued up to $4.50.  I thought it was smooth sailing from here because of course I'm an Amazon ordering pro, but I was wrong!  

The problem I ran into was that I did not enter my Discover card rental code into my Amazon account before clicking to rent my movie.  If I had read the instructions that came with my code, I would have known that this needed to be done first... so basically it was my mistake to not read the instructions!  Because the rental code was not in my account but I had a gift card balance already in my account, the rental was automatically charged to my gift card balance.   The good news is that I called Amazon and they were kind enough to refund my gift card balance, so now I'm all set to enjoy my free movie rental!
