Merry Christmas! 聖誕快樂!

Hi friends,

Merry Christmas from Taiwan!!!

Since I don’t want you to walk away from this blog post empty-handed, here’s how you can get a $4 Amazon.com Video on Demand (VoD) credit for free! (Source: www.mymoneyblog.com)

At Amazon’s Video on Demand store, click on any movie (such as Julie & Julia or (500) Days of Summer), then click on the link below the preview that says, “Have a promotion code? Redeem a gift card or promotion code.” Then, enter the code AVODGIFT. Then you’ll have $4 to use towards Amazon.com VoD. (Credit expires Jan. 2, 2010.)

Got it?

Wishing you and your family and friends all the best.
