Recently Returned category

When CashDuck was started, the New Offers category was one that I just put new offers (and offers that had come back up) into by hand. Now, the New Offers category is a feature that actually pulls newly added offers from any category on the site, without me having to do it, which is pretty neat. It means that you always see the newest offers, but newly returned offers don't go in there because the system is counting by when it was actually added - and for some of these offers, they've been up and down the entire time CashDuck has been open! So I put in a new category, Recently Returned, for offers that are "new" in the sense that they weren't there yesterday. :)

No more stuffed duckies.. but maybe tote bags?

So I was sad to find out that the company that makes the really super cute stuffed ducklings that I've been sending out, doesn't make them anymore. I've searched all over and can't find another stuffed duckling that I like as much (and that isn't really expensive.) I'd been thinking of getting another new prize in the feathers prizes - with shipping costs going up, it's very important that it be easy to mail! The water bottles were very popular, but they actually now cost more to mail than they cost to buy. My thought now is tote bags, but I'm not sure what kind. I'm looking maybe at either the polypropylene ones (basically like reusable shopping bags - they are durable and somewhat waterproof) or cotton canvas ones (softer and washable, but don't hold as much.) Any thoughts?

Disney Dollars Delays!

Extra duckies!

I added two of the duck cartoons to the top logo.. I love these little guys and think they add a certain silliness. :) These ducks actually came from a set of four duck cartoons that I purchased from some random cartoonist on istockphoto.com.. I did send this cartoonist a message asking if he'd be interested in doing some more ducks on commission, but never heard back. I think these ducks are kind of symbolic of the spirit that CashDuck has, and I kind of wish that this cartoonist could know how much mileage I've gotten out of those four little ducks! They are on the magnets and cards that we used to have, and they're on my official business cards and on the printable checks that I send out. Maybe someday I'll get a tattoo. ;)
