Free Bluetooth Earpiece from Tiger Direct

Tiger Direct has the Samsung HM1000 Bluetooth Headset (Pink) for free today, after a $20 mail-in rebate. Use the code DIC12568 to get an additional $2 off. If you change your shipping to EconoShip (4 to 9 days), which is $1.99, it'll balance out correctly with the rebate so that your final cost is completely free. Faster shipping will cost you a about $2-5 depending on the speed.

Turn this free deal into a money maker by using either Shop at Home (5% back) or eBates (5% back). New members to each site will get an additional $5 over the 5%.

Disclaimer: I've never made any purchases through Tiger Direct.  However, through personal experience with both Shop at Home and eBates, I feel confident in companies that advertise on both sites.

Longest Black Friday Line Can Win You a Free iPad

The private airline security company, Clear, is all about helping you shorten the line at airport security. In honor of Black Friday which often hosts the largest lines of the year, they are giving away a free iPad to the person that shows them the longest line.

CLEAR is dedicated to helping you skip long airport lines and in honor of this commitment CLEAR is launching a Longest Line Ever sweepstakes starting today, November 22nd. With Black Friday around the corner and holiday travel in full swing long lines are appearing all over the country. To enter the Longest Line Ever sweepstakes participants must send @clear_me, a Twitpic of the longest line they can find including the hashtag #longestlineever and follow CLEAR on Twitter. Additionally, CLEAR's Facebook page has a simple upload tool for the sweepstakes and is hosting a gallery of all the images submitted.

Each week CLEAR will select one entrant to win a iPad and one entrant to win a free CLEAR membership, valued at $179 until December 31st, 2010. Even if CLEAR is not in your local airport your membership will not be activated until the winner uses their CLEARcard for the first time.

As for the value of Clear, I have seen it at the Orlando Airport a few years ago and it's basically like a fastpass lane through security. Instead of having to show your license and wait for it to be verified, Clear gives you a card with a computer chip. The chip stores your fingerprints and retina (eye) scan. A few seconds at their booth and your identity has been positively confirmed so you can walk right over to the metal detectors.

I can't say if it's changed much with the tighter security we see, but they do still claim to speed up the security process. It's currently only offered in Orlando so unless you travel a lot through MCO it's not worth the annual fee right now. They will be opening up soon in Denver, so keep an eye out in the future because if they spread to more airports it might be worth the money if you are a frequent traveler.

Is Walmart Really the Best Place for Black Friday?

Walmart has posted a press release regarding Black Friday. While they might be offering price matching, I'm not sure if its really the best store for the time crunch of Black Friday.

In fact, Walmart is one of the only retailers that will price match competitors’ ads on “Black Friday.” Customers simply bring in competitors’ ads and Walmart will match the price of any identical product right at the register, making Walmart the easiest place to save this holiday season.

While it would allow you to do all your shopping in one store, please consider the other parts to this equation.

1. Does Walmart offer comparable service plans to other, specialized, stores.
2. Will you still need to shop at other stores? Are they clustered together like a mall or all over town?
3. What are the time limits on deals? Walmart will probably only match "valid" deals so don't expect to show up in the afternoon if a competitors ad had hours listed.

If the items you want are specifically Black Friday deals at Walmart, it might pay to pick up the other stuff there too. Just make sure you're not going there only because they're offering price matching.

For anyone planning to shop at Walmart on Black Friday, head over to Walmart's website and check out your local ad.  Once at the ad, you can click "click here to get your map" and print out a map of the store showing where all the major Black Friday deals will be located.
