Great find! Are you finding Chiquita fresh cut fruit products in California? I see Dole around here (Oregon) but haven't really paid much attention.

Half hr for a finance course and itunes

Agreed - you'll want to do it alongside something more interesting, as it takes a long time to complete a course (but very worthwhile for kids to do, as the courses give sensible advice). It worked. Thank you for the advice in the above posts

Has anyone tried using the different credit union sites to see if you get a code for each course at each site?

In Southern California Ralphs, Vons and Food4Less all acrry the Chiquita Apples with the iTunes promotion on them. I am at 3 winners on 6 bags. They also have a coupon on the display at my Ralphs for .75 off.

These are great for kids lunches!

To hell with the kids, *I* love apples (w/peanut butter) in my lunches.

Since Vons is part of the same chain as Safeway, these should be showing up in the Pacific NW.

Congrats on your winnings!

I just completed the 'buy a car' course at the link above, for a completion certificate with a code for FIVE itunes. This course wasn't as long as the shoping one, and I'm glad I tried it. Thanks to the original posters

Yeah, I've noticed that the course lengths vary quite a lot, which is why tabbing browsing is such a good idea.

I've gotten one 5er, loads of one-spots, but got several 2-fers today! Can't wait til they add more courses!

Sure would be nice to find another 10-tune giveaway ala Driving Skills for Life.

If you did all of the courses, I'm guessing most rewards were 1 itune, with a few 2xs and the 5x reward. The 'buying a car' would be worthwhile at 5 itunes, and so far the rest have just been 1 per course. The Save & Invest Short Term (1x) was okay while the Balance a checking account course took seemingly twice as long for the same reward.
The above two courses are only recommended if you are patient and don't mind the time to complete

Special thanks to the OP of the 'http://gti.cuna.org/28251/index.htm' link. I completed the first 5 courses with a prize of one song. Upon completion of the 6th course I received a certificate for 10 songs!

I've done all 11 courses. Some through the Penn State and some through Arlington and I got 1 per course the whole way through.

That said, free iTunes is free iTunes!

Man in Black here I come!

Seems like the prize amount is random. Did all 11 courses for a total of 13 songs.

Sorry about the bum steer... I did the abovementioned course again in the name of Mrs BB and received just 1 itune, but can stil recommend it.
You can always do the course and nominate your friend/spouse's e-mail and they may get the excellent reward of up to ten itunes. Great courses!
