*HOT* Get 6 months of KiwiCo crates for $21.97 after cash back (TODAY ONLY)

This is probably the very best deal I’ve seen on KiwiCo kids activity kits, especially if you want a longer subscription.

TODAY ONLY get a giant discount off a 6 or 12-month KiwiCo subscription PLUS 22.5% cash back on your purchase from Rakuten PLUS a $40 bonus when you make your first purchase.

This promotion will work TODAY ONLY (11/12). It takes a couple of steps but it’s totally worth the extra clicks. You may find it easier to do all of this on your computer instead of your phone.

Important: This will only work if you’re new to Rakuten (formerly Ebates) and this is your first purchase.

Here’s how to do the deal:

Go to Ebates/Rakuten here and create an account. This only works if you sign up through that link!

Once you’ve created your Rakuten account, search “KiwiCo” and go to the KiwiCo page on Rakuten. It looks like this:

Click on any of the “Shop Now” buttons on the KiwiCo page on Rakuten. It doesn’t matter which one.

Rakuten will now take you to the KiwiCo.com site. You’ll get a pop-up that looks like this for a few seconds:

Once you’re at KiwiCo.com, click the green “Get a Crate” button and fill out the information. This is the time when you’ll select which line (type of crate) you want.

Note you will pay more if you get the Eureka, Maker, or Panda crates. I don’t suggest you get the Panda crate. I thought they were kind of lame for the cost. Our family’s favorites are the Kiwi, Doodle, and Tinker crates.

When you get to the “how many deliveries” section, select either the 6 month or 12 month subscription.

Don’t add the book.

At checkout, click the “Have a coupon code” link and enter FAMILY to get $31.50 off a 6-month subscription or $45.05 off a 12-month subscription.

You will pay $79.95 for a 6-month subscription or $158.35 for a 12-month subscription today.

You will get the 22.50% cash back on your purchase PLUS a $40 bonus credited to your Rakuten account.

Your cash back will post to your Rakuten account the day after your purchase and the $40 bonus will post within a few days. Don’t freak out if you don’t see it right away. Cash back on purchases made now will pay out on February 15 by check or PayPal. Your cash back must be $5+ to get a check or the amount will roll over until the next pay period.

After all is said and done, here’s how it breaks down:

6-Month Subscription — Pay $79.95 after you use the code FAMILY
Get $17.98 cash back from Rakuten for your purchase
Get $40 bonus for making your first purchase through Rakuten
$21.97 after code, cash back, and bonus = $3.66 per box!

12-Month Subscription — Pay $158.35 after you use the code FAMILY
Get $35.62 cash back from Rakuten for your purchase
Get $40 bonus for making your first purchase through Rakuten
$82.73 after code, cash back, and bonus = $6.89 per box!

Yes, you’re paying “way” more per box with the 12-month subscription, but it’s significantly less per box than what you’d pay otherwise. You’re definitely not a dummy for doing the 12-month deal.

Now, this is really important — the math will not play out the same if you want to purchase a second 6 or 12-month subscription, but it’s still a really deal.

Here’s how the deal works on your second subscription:

6-Month Subscription — $79.95 after you use the code FAMILY
Get $17.98 cash back from Rakuten for your purchase
$61.97 after code and cash back = $10.33 per box

12-Month Subscription — $158.35 after you use the code FAMILY
Get $35.62 cash back from Rakuten for your purchase
$122.73 after code and cash back = $10.23 per box

Phew. That’s a lot of words but let me tell you — THIS IS AN AMAZING DEAL.

Please don’t try to get crafty and open multiple Rakuten accounts to get more than one $40 bonus. They will figure it out and shut you down. Just open one account.
