I posted this trial offer once before and wanted to actually do the whole thing myself to make sure it worked before posting again. Nicole’s Advantage is a savings club that offers promotional codes and prescription savings.
.
They are running a promotion for new customers- join and you get (2) $25 gift cards of your choice. You will pay $2.95 for the first month and $9.95 for the second month. The service costs $9.95 a month and you can cancel anytime after the 30 day trial period and still get your gift cards. How it works is you register for the first month at $2.95 and right after that month ends you are charged $9.95 for the second month. I received a postcard in the mail almost exactly 30 days after I registered. You send the postcard back with your choice of gift cards (postcard is pictured below and would be easy to toss out if you aren’t looking for it.)
I chose (2) Visa gift cards for $25 each. Once the postcard was in the mail (about 10 days into my 2nd month) I went online to cancel. It literally took seconds to cancel. Then I just got my (2) gift cards in the mail! They will also send you a membership card and other things to use the service- I didn’t receive the cards which is why I cancelled. Many people might find they love the service and at $9.95 your first 5 months are essentially free after gift cards.
So all in all this worked really well for me but do keep in mind this is a trial offer. When I signed up you didn’t need to pay for the second month and they changed the terms. So I paid $2.95 plus $9.95 and got $50 back. It would be a good idea to print copies of everything just in case, but I did not have any issues at all- it is a very easy company. You can choose from Target, Starbucks, Visa and many other gift cards. Click HERE to check it out. (I started on July 10th and just got my cards so expect a 60 day total turn around time).
EDITED: Nicole’s has raised the prices since I joined. It is now a 7 day free trial with $14.95 a month. You will pay $14.95 and make sure to cancel before the 30 days are up and you should still get your gift cards. It says they are yours to keep after the 7 day trial period ends. Just to be extra safe I would print that first page.

Charlene, I know you said you did this so I have a question for you. I signed up last night. My card got charged the $14.95…when I try to log on to cancel it says it's the incorrect member member ID or password however I know it isn't. Is your email address your member ID login or do we have a special ID number that comes on the card? I thought I would have received an email from them once signing up but I didn't. HELP! Thanks 🙂
I canceled my membership before the end of the first month over the phone but my account still recieved charges. So I called and they took the charges off of my account no problem. It was annoying but they were very nice about it. I got their phone number from the original charge to my account. It's 888-779-6757. I recieved my gift cards on Tuesday.
You shouldn't have been charged $14.95. That is odd. You can email them here to see what the heck is going on: https://www.nicolessavingsadvantage.com/contact
I emailed a few times and got a response within 48 hours. Let me know how this works out for you!
OK I take that back. It looks like the changed the monthly fees to $14.95 🙂 So you get a 7 day "free trial" and then pay $14.95. It says the gift cards are free to keep after the 7 day trial so I am assuming you need to actually pay the first month's charge of $14.95. They are on to us because this used to be just $2.95 and then it was $2.95 plus $9.95 and now it is $14.95. I'd hurry and get in before they raise it even more. Also make sure to print the terms and conditions just in case!
I am sorry I reported the wrong monthly fee- but it is not a huge difference as I paid $12.90 and you will pay $14.95 total. Just make sure to cancel before the 30 day period ends- maybe 27 days from now send an email.
Oh that's ok, I don't mind that I paid $14.95 if I will get 2 $25 in the mail…I am just trying to figure out exactly when I am supposed to cancel so that I won't get charged again but will still get my gift cards. In 3 weeks you're thinking?
It says after the 7 day trial so you will probably be safe cancelling at 8 days but personally I would try to get as close to the 30 mark as possible just because I am a very skeptical person 🙂 I would think Oct 5th or so would be good.
THANK YOU Charlene, you're always such a huge help. October 5th it is 🙂
I did this 3 months ago and still have not received my gift card 🙁 Dunno if I'll ever get it!
I haven't received my gift cards either – and it looks like my card is about to be charged the second month?? What is the site that I can log into my account at?
Just log in to the link above and click on Contact Us. Like I said it was several weeks for me- I got the postcard right around 30 days and then the giftcards about 30 days after that. Just email them if your postcard hasn't arrived. They were very helpful to me.
