To encourage more people to an account in their site, they are now giving away free silver coin to all those who open an account for free. Moreover you can also have a chance to win free gold coin daily when you open an account and write a slogan.

As said above, Arthamoney which is a new personal finance management portal from The Times of India. This is said to be first financial supermarket in India which is said to deal with all the financial products from stocks to insurance, income tax to loans. But I wonder I have seen many sites offering these too! But after analyzing I found that they offer even services than a regular financial portal do offer like credit cards, foreign exchange, tax filing and even bill payment. Now, I am convinced that this is the first of its kind financial management portal which deals with all your personal financial needs.

Okay, coming back to this offer. For a limited period they are, to let more people to join them, offering to open an account, whereas the annual fees of Rs. 299 for a silver account and Rs. 899 for a gold account has been waived off. This I have even confirmed with them personally by calling them. And what more you will get a free silver coin if you open an account before August 15, 2008. They have not mentioned about the weight of the silver coin that they are giving for free. But the gold coin is of 8 g weight and 22 carat gold.

To open account, you cannot actually register at their site, instead you need to call them through their customer service number at 46 000 000 and they will send a money manager to your place to help out in opening an account. You will need to submit your PAN Card photocopy and address proof photocopy and two photographs to facilitate account opening, just call and confirm it with them what else you actually need to open an account, I am exactly not sure entirely. As soon as you give these and fill out the form to open the account, he will immediately hand you over the free silver coin. And also a contest form where you need fill out the slogan and the best slogan will be chosen to win the gold coin for the day.

I saw this in ad in the news paper in Chennai, where I live, but I am not entirely sure whether this offer is valid across India. Though when I asked the person (the money manager) who called me book an appointment to open the account, he said it is available across India. So you can give it a try by calling this number 4600 0000. Or you can SMS ARTHA to 58888. Or even email them your queries at customer@arthamoney.com.

Again Shop at Half Price at FutureBazaar with Giftmate

As you might all have know that there was an offer of getting a Giftmate gift voucher by paying only half the amount and utilizing it fully at Future Bazaar. This offer was available in June end and they closed it then once the required number of users that was reached. Which I have blogged about it here. Now that Giftmate and Futurebazaar have introduced this offer again. Through which you can purchase Gift Mate Gift Voucher at half the price and redeem it for the full value at Future Bazaar only.

You can read the details of how to use this offer in my previous post about it in this page which is all the same.

Since the offer details is all the same from that of their previous same offer you can read it from the above link.

Only changes from that offer is that once when you have used up that offer in June, you cannot avail it again! This is a major drawback of this offer and hence makes it useless for those who have availed it. Although this could be a golden chance for those who have missed it to use it at that time and hence can try it this time though. But should be brought before July 31, 2008 which actually is the last date for this offer. This offer is also valid only for the first 2500 people who buy the Giftmate voucher using credit card or netbanking and use it to buy anything from Futurebazaar.

This gift voucher should be redeemed before July 31, 2008 itself and should be hold for future use. And as said above only those who have not availed it previously in June can avail it this time.

I personally feel that this is an excellent offer considering you can get a good gain of 50% fully in Futurebazaar as there is no hidden charges like shipping cost or other charges applicable for many products there. You can as said in my previous post try redeeming it for Big Bazaar gift voucher and can use it there to get full benefit from this offer.

This offer was shared to me by Senthil Kumar and Rishi Mittal. You too can share any of the offers you have or seen elsewhere to me so that I will blog about it here for the benefit of all. Just mail it across to me.

This offer is only valid if you buy the Giftmate gift voucher through this page.
