It's free to everyone! Though this offer does expire after Sunday. :wink:

If anyone is interested in the history of Bejeweled and the Matching Tile games, there is an informative article here:

Hi there, Catty - I got the same result as you did, so I thought that maybe it was last years offer.

I did some research and found this current report:

PopCap Games today announced that will give all subscribers to its free monthly e-newsletter one copy of Bejeweled Deluxe, the biggest-selling casual game of the past six years, at no cost.

To obtain a free copy that can be presented to one's mother or grandmother, consumers simply sign up to receive The Fizz, PopCap's monthly digital newsletter, via the link on the company's homepage.

Beginning tomorrow and continuing through May 23, 2007, existing and new subscribers to The Fizz will receive an email with a special link and unique registration code for a free copy of the full retail version of Bejeweled Deluxe, which must be redeemed by May 30, 2007


After I looked at that, I did some thinking, and went back to the Popcap.com page and looked for the original Bejeweled - not the #2 version - and on the "buy now" page I entered "free4moms" in the coupon code, and I've now got a receipt for the game at no charge.

Will have to see what happens next. No where have I been asked to receive their newsletter, but that may be automatic.

Thanks Mark for alerting us to this. I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

Well, that was easy - there's a link on the receipt page, and it downloaded and though I don't have time to play right now, I'm hoping it's the full version and not just a trial. I'll look at it a bit later.
