Run to Win

Update: The 15% offer has now expired, but you can use PCHoliday187 through December 18^th to save 10% off of your order.

I received the following message in my email this week. I have written before that I wear my Road ID wherever I go, and every Christmas they offer savings for people looking to get Road IDs as gifts. This year they are offering the discount a month early:

Hello Blaine:

I know it’s a bit too early to wish you “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.” But, that won’t stop us from offering you (a previous Road ID customer) a great Holiday Special. Order from RoadID.com by 11/30 and take 15% off your entire order! Simply use the following coupon code to get your discount: PCSaveOurHair7

Why are we offering this coupon so early? We’ll, last year everyone here went completely bald from the stress of trying to keep up with the Holiday orders. Some of us are just now sprouting new hair and would love to show it off to our families this Holiday Season. By ordering early, you’ll not only save 15%, but you’ll also help save our hair.

ALSO, we have a whole NEW product line to show off. Now, every Road ID is available in an “Interactive” version. What’s “Interactive,” you ask? Well, go to the website and check it out. I think you’ll be impressed!

As you already know, a Road ID is the perfect gift and training partner for the runner, cyclist, triathlete, or active person on your gift list. If you can’t speak for yourself, your Road ID will. If you don’t know exactly which Road ID to purchase, just order a Road ID Gift Card or an online eCard.

Road ID: It’s not just a piece of gear – it’s peace of mind.

Safe Sporting & Happy Holidays,

Edward Wimmer & Mike Wimmer

I do not know that I would bother getting their “interactive” road id. You get a free year’s worth of the service but then there is a charge to keep it going. You could duplicate the same sort of thing by putting a website address on your Road ID that contains your emergency info.

I stand by this product, having bought 4 of them in the past. I’ve gotten 2 for myself and 2 for my wife (pre- and post-marriage and house acquisition.)

2007 Update: This year’s code is PCSaveOurHair7.

Just like last year, Road ID is extending their Christmas offer with a new promotion code. Use PCHoliday62 until 11:00 PM EST on Sunday, December 17^th to get the 10% off.

If you want to get your order in time for Christmas, though, you will probably need to use some sort of expedited shipping instead of their budget shipping option.

2007 Update: This year’s code is PCSaveOurHair7.

I first bought a Road ID a few years ago. I have now bought and used four of their dog tag style IDs. I bought one for myself way back when, and then got one for my girlfriend for Christmas. Last year, I used their holiday promotion to get a gift certificate, and then bought a new one for myself after I bought a house. My old one had out dated contact information anyway. After I got married, I bought another one using what was left on the gift certificate to update my wife’s Road ID.

I still wear mine most days, although I do not always wear it every time I leave the house anymore. Any time that I am going to the gym or going out for a run, though, I make sure that I have it on. Having been hit by a car before, and having worked out with a friend who had a seizure while we were at the gym, I have no desire to be a John Doe.

It is once again December, though, which means that
Road ID is having their annual holiday promotion. You can get 10% off of your order by using the following promotional code: PCHoliday6. I am starting to notice a trend in their annual promotion codes! Clicking any of the links in this article should automatically apply the code when you arrive at their website.

The promotional code is good on orders through Tuesday, December 12^th. They guarentee that any orders placed by 11:00 pm EST next Friday, December 8^th, will arrive in time for Christmas using their 99 cent shipping option.

Besides their actual dog tag style IDs, they have other IDs that you can wear on your wrist or shoe. They also offer safety equipment such as lights to warn traffic that you are there and wallets that attach to your shoelaces. If you are ordering something that is less than $20, or you miss the December 12^th deadline, you can try using coupon #ARR5271 instead. It will give you $2.00 off of your order until the end of the year as long as you spend at least $10.

I have not yet tried any of their other products, but I certainly recommend their dog tag style IDs (which they call their Fixx ID). They are high quality, easily read, and easily cleaned. The only problem that I have ever had with mine was that my contact information changed and it was out of date.

2007 Update: This year’s code is PCSaveOurHair7.

I know I just wrote about Road ID, but since this promotion ends on Thursday I thought I would share it. Any order placed with them by Thursday, December 8th at 11pm Eastern time will get 20% off and guarenteed shipping in time for Christmas. When you check out, use the code PCHOLIDAY5. Shipping is free. (www.RoadID.com)

Update: The promotion has been extended to next week, December 15. Use PCHOLIDAY52 until then.

An added bonus is that if you buy something from them you will help to support this website.
