Scan Your Photos with a Discount

If you have analog slides, negatives, or prints that haven’t been digitized yet, now is a great time to have those photos scanned. And one convenient solution that I’ve used with great results is ScanMyPhotos. Even better, you can get a discount of up to 50% off various scanning services from ScanMyPhotos by using coupon code TimGrey at checkout.

Use this link to learn about the various scanning services available from ScanMyPhotos (and don’t forget to use coupon code TimGrey at checkout):

ScanMyPhotos offers a variety of convenient options, including pre-paid boxes that you can fill with slides or prints to get scanned at a flat price. Note that there are currently discounts being offered that are built into the promotion, in which case using the TimGrey coupon code won’t apply an additional discount. But by using the coupon you’ll ensure you’re getting the best price possible for digitization services.

ScanMyPhotos was recently featured on an informative CBS Evening News segment, discussing the importance of digitizing important photos. You can check out the video here:
