Nina wrote in again to let us know about another Mix-n-Match badge offer: if you purchase any two Mix-n-Match badges retiring February 16th, you’ll save 10 gems. The code to use is RETIREFEB10 and it expires February 15.

To take advantage of this coupon code, visit the Mix-n-Match badge page and either sort by “Retires” or click the Retiring Soon tab. Any of the badges set to expire on February 16th are eligible for these savings, whether you purchase them for yourself or give them as a gift. Like the last promo code, you can only use it once per transaction.

Thanks again to Nina, our favorite new contributor!

NINA45_ wrote in with some information on a new coupon code that will enable you to save on a Mix-n-Match badge! If you use the code VDAYGIFT25 when purchasing a gift Mix-n-Match for someone else, you’ll get 25% off that badge and get a 25% off a Mix-n-Match for yourself! This is a great way to save a few gems and give a gift to someone for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday! If you don’t want to share the love, you can always gift the extra badge to yourself! Pat let us know you can use the code to purchase two Mix-n-Match badges for yourself, as a gift, or one of each.

This offer will expire on 2/15/10. (Thanks Butterfly!) We’ve received reports that you need to add both your badge and your gift to your cart before using the code. It doesn’t work with Limited Edition badges, such as the Valentine’s Day badge. As with all Pogo promotions that we hear about through the rumor mill: your mileage may vary! We can’t provide support if the code doesn’t work for you.

Thanks Nina!

Update: ellen520 sent us an email to share her experiences. “Just tried it and you do not have to buy a badge for yourself plus a badge as a gift for someone else…you can just buy 2 badges for yourself and the code works. Also, I was able to use the code repeatedly…just put two badges at a time in the cart and enter the code for the discount. As I said, I used it 5 times without difficulty, ordering both new and old badges.” Thanks Ellen!

Pogo has a nice way for you to support earthquake relief in Haiti: gem donations. You can purchase any of three special Red Cross t-shirts for your mini with gems and corresponding dollar amounts will be donated to Haiti Earthquake Relief. In addition, at the end of February your t-shirt will turn into a “surprise”! To purchase these items or get more information, visit the Mini Mall!

Help the Red Cross Haitian relief and development efforts by putting your Mini in a Red Cross Tee! And at the end of February that shirt turns into a surprise!

You can donate 50, 170 or 350 gems ($3, $10, $20) (or all three!), which will go directly to the Red Cross Haitian Relief and Development Fund. That’s right– 100% of the donations will go to Haiti Earthquake Relief! Want to donate more? Pogo will match your donation dollar for dollar to the Red Cross up to a guaranteed maximum of $20,000! When donating on the Red Cross website, click on the “Donate Now” button, choose the “Haiti Relief and Development” option.

Thanks widow and Kathy for letting us know about this way to support those who suffered the devastating effects of the earthquakes in Haiti.

Update: This particular promo for 3 months of Club Pogo for 50 points has now been removed from the RecycleBank web site.

They have added replacement offers for Club Pogo, but they require more points for redemption. 3 months of Club Pogo can be redeemed for 125 points, 6 months for 200 and a year for 275. We’ll keep you posted if we find bonus ways to earn points beyond their regular recycling program.

Mama2b111401 wrote in to let us know about a program for getting a free Club Pogo subscription! RecycleBank is a web site that rewards households for recycling and right now just for signing up they’ll give you enough rewards points to redeem for a 3-month subscription to Club Pogo. Here’s how to do it:

• Visit RecycleBank.com and register for a new account.

• Sign in and you’ll see a “Registration Bonus” of 100 points has been added to your account.

• Click on Get Rewards and choose the All Rewards tab on the left sidebar. Choose C and scroll down to choose Club Pogo.

• Add a 3-month Club Pogo subscription to your cart. Choose View Cart from the upper right hand side of the page and Checkout. (You cannot add two subscriptions: this program only allows you to redeem points for one 3-month subscription every 6 months.)

• Once you’ve checked out, you’ll be given your reward code on the following page as well as in an email. Full instructions for redemption are included.

Since there is a limit of one subscription per 6 months per household, you’ll want to come back in June to try to redeem your last 50 points (if the promotion is still active.. fingers crossed!) for another 3-month subscription.

If you have any questions about RecycleBank, or earning and/or redeeming points or your free Club Pogo subscription: contact RecycleBank via their Support web site.

MomsBassetHound, our resident MyCokeRewards expert, wrote in to let us all know that the amount of points needed to redeem a free Club Pogo membership has changed with the new year’s extension. Here are the new details:

75 Points – 1 Month of Club Pogo
Reward code must be entered by January 31, 2011

200 Points – 3 Months of Club Pogo
Reward code must be entered by January 31, 2011

570 Points – 1 Year of Club Pogo
Reward code must be entered by January 31, 2011

The 3-month reward was reduced by 50 points and the one year reward was increased by 20 points more. In addition, the Pogo rewards have been extended for another year, through January 2011.

For those of you unfamiliar with the promo, here are some details:

You can earn MyCokeRewards points for entering codes from Coca-Cola brand products at the MyCokeRewards web site. Once you’ve saved up enough rewards points, you can turn them in to get free stuff — like Club Pogo subscriptions. (For what it’s worth, a 12-pack of Coke products will earn you 10 points, and bottles are worth 3.) When you use your points to get a Club Pogo subscription, they’ll send you a Club Pogo pass code via email with instructions to add the time to your account; like all Club Pogo passes, the time is added to the end of your current subscription.
