Free all day wrist bands for Mall of America rides

Today I figured out how to get free wrist bands for the amusement part at the Mall of America. I'm feeling rather proud of myself so this one, but I am sure there are people all over the Twin Cities who realized how to do this a month ago.

Here's the deal...

From November 27 through December 24, TOMORROW, MOA is giving away two free all day wrist bands to anyone who brings in a total of $250 in receipts spent anyway at the mall. Some of you are probably thinking, "Man I've spent that much and more." well others are thinking, "$250 for a couple of wrist bands, come on Esther, where the deal." Here's the wonderful little catch I learned today to make this a great deal.

On the lower lever of the West end, (Right under Rybicky Cheese and Best Buy) there is a Holiday convenance store. Yep, just like the gas station, but with fake pumps outside instead of real. At the store you can buy giftcards good at all Holiday locations. Simply buy $250 in giftcards, take right next door to the mall custmer service desk and ask for your free passes.

I realize you still need to put out $250, but everyone uses gas. Even we spend over $250 on gas each month with all Jason's driving to school. This is a great way to earn a little extra bonus on something that you usually don't get a discount for.

I haven't rested it with just one reciept for a $250 giftcard. My dad bought 2 $50 giftcards this afternoon to round out his $250 needed for the wristbands and had no problems at all. He recieved a reciept for the wrist bands. It can be redeemed at the park for the bands. The one slight catch is that it expires at the beginning of March so it must be used before then.

If you have a few last minute gifts left, or just want a little extra treat for buying gas head on over to the mall in the morning and grab your giftcards.
