Pampers has a program called Gifts to Grow and every time you buy Pampers diapers, training pants and wipes for your little one you collect points.

Once you’ve become a member of Pampers.com, you can start collecting points. Just find the Gifts to Grow code inside each package and enter the code online at Pampers.com. You can redeem your points anytime you choose from the Gifts to Grow rewards catalog. This program has been extended to March 2010.

The codes you find on Pampers products are only good once but I’ve collected a few Pampers points that everyone can use. Enjoy!
