Vista Print and free business cards?

11 years 11 months ago #227512 by Soccer Mom
I'm needing some business cards and just came across VistaPrint.com that claims I can get free business cards from them. This sounded a little too good to be true so I did a quick Google search and I'm finding some mix reviews. Some are complaining about getting a ton of spam from them, others saying they charge you for things they shouldn't. Then there are the good ones, satisfied customers.

Honestly I'm tempted to just go ahead with it, but was hoping to check here first. Anyone use these guys for your business cards?

Canon 7D, 18-55mm, 55-250mm, 70-200mm L f/2.8, 100mm and 17-55mm f/2.8

I have gotten two batches, one for myself and one for my wife. In both cases I opted for the premium cards (glossy stock so I paid about $10 or so. My first order on the sire was confusing and got stuck with mailing labels that I couldn't use (about $6) because of the process and the way I switched mail and name on the card so my labels had my email on them then address. Still a good deal and decent quality. You get about an email a week trying to sell you another product (invitations, etc.). If you don't like the "spam", create a new email for order like that (gmail) and use that to order.
My wife used a "standard" format and I used my own photo. Both turned out very nice.
here's a scan of mine.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

:agree: definitely go with the upgrade, the free cards are very cheap in my opinion. The cost to the premium cards is worth the upgrade

You do get offers regularly but that`s no problem for me.

I paid a little extra for the nicer cards too without the vistaprints website on the back. I have a friend that gets stuff from there all the time too.

They'll send you the business cards, but they look like free business cards. I've been using Overnightprints.com Under $50 for 500 beautiful, thick, full color both sides cards.
