This Week’s Featured Deals

Deal 1: Limited-Time Vudu Promotions

Vudu currently has two promos on vastly different categories of streaming movies to download and rent:

• There’s only a week left in Black History Month, but while it lasts, you can get 25% off dozens of “True Stories” titles including Selma, Straight Outta Compton, The Loving Story, and Glory as well as popular TV series, movies, and documentaries like Black-ish, Roots, Confirmation, and The African Americans.
• For those who like to have the bejeezus scared out of them (not me), check out this psycho offer to mix and match 3 HDX videos for just $14.99—including the original Psycho.

Deal 2: Anytime Gift Cards from Amazon

I just discovered these recently, but you know those times when you suddenly need a birthday or thank you gift and you’re stuck for ideas (or, more often, time…)? Well, Amazon now has these greeting cards you can buy that come with a blank gift card that you can just have on hand and then add value to when needed from their website or mobile app.

The cards are currently priced at $2.99 for a 3-pack (same design) but I’m not sure if that’s a time-limited offer or not. This seems like such a great idea I imagine they’ll have more types of cards in the future (congratulations, anniversary, etc.) but here are the ones currently available:

• Birthday
• Thank You
• Blank with Floral Design
• Blank with Smile Design
