Mixbook – Free Hardcover Photo Book + Free Shipping – No longer available!

Update: Sorry guys – it looks like the code expired early as they didn’t expect to have so many photo books ordered.
Wow, this is a great photo deal – today only, Thursday June 30th, Mixbook is offering a FREE hardcover photo book with 20 pages + FREE shipping, so it’s totally free! Make sure that your book is 20 pages or less, though, in order to use the coupon code: FREEBK to get your FREE photo book.
Here’s how it works:
- Head over to MixBook
- Under “Photo Books”, choose “8.5” x 11″ classic landscape hardcover photo book
- Uncheck the blue box at the bottom of the page which says “Give me a book that’s almost done”. If you keep this checked, it will not allow you to change the number of pages. You have to have 20 pages or less to get this book for free!
- Make sure you delete the pages to get down to 20 pages or less
- When you’re done creating your book, head to checkout & use the coupon code: FREEBK
- Your total should drop to $0 + Free shipping
The site is running a bit slow right now since this is a popular offer, so be patient & hopefully it will get a bit faster as it goes along. I’m also hearing that it might be faster if you have your photos uploaded to a different site & are uploading from there such as Picasa or Facebook. I haven’t tried this myself yet, though. Let us know what works best for you!
Thanks Hip2Save!
site REALLY slow
Is the offer good until midnight? I’m at work and want to take advantage when I go home!
I can’t get photos to upload from anywhere, computer HD, facebook – nothin’!
They are extremely quick to upload from my picasa web albums. :)
I just uploaded all my pictures to a picasa album and voila! Works like a charm. Thanks for the tip!
Right now, I’m wishing that I knew about this deal a day ahead of time. Maybe that way I could have just logged in and ordered it today instead of working on it for hours without a single photo loading. Pretty bummed out!
Lindsay – Sorry, I didn’t get advance notice about this, so posted as soon as I found out about it.
Mical -I’m not sure if it’s midnight est or pst – i’ll try to find out.
Well, I’m finally done with mine and it says the coupon has exceeded usage limits (1500 times) and it won’t honor it. So, for those who want to wait I don’t think that will work. Sorry!
I created an account and went to work on the book and this message popped up
We had a popular promotion this morning so our engineering wizards are currently making some site updates to support our new users. At this time the creation of new books is temporarily disabled to allow our users to finish and order their existing projects. We anticipate that our site will return to normal within 24 hours. Thank you for your patience and have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Jonathan, unless someone else (besides me) linked you here from your form, then I know you’ve received/read my form! Will we receive a response telling us whether we qualified or not? We as customers have no way to tell what time a project was created. I believe I started mine before the 10:30 deadline, but can’t be sure as none of my photos loaded for quite some time!
UGH. Spent all day making my book look fantastic, then came back to this page to get the code again only to see it was gone. I attempted to put the code in at check out, just to see what it said.
Coupon has exceeded usage limit (1500 times).
Hope that my book will save for awhile and they will do it again. Don’t really want to pay $40 for a book when I thought it would be free. However, I do have to say out of all the photobook sites I have used, this one is by far my favorite. So many choices, options, and even embellishments.
