Earn 5 free FarmVille Farm Cash in MasterCard promotion

Note: Some farmers are reporting only receiving two Farm Cash from this promotion, rather than five. If that happens to you, contact Zynga Support and they should be able to help you.

While we may see frequent giveaways in FarmVille for two free Farm Cash, it's not everyday that we see one for five Farm Cash, so pay close attention farmers! A new promotion has launched with MasterCard. This promotion is called "Overwhelming Offers" and it can be found underneath the FarmVille gameplay window in the sponsored link pictured at right.

This activity is fairly simple, and asks you to answer a pair of questions about shopping deals. Once you answer these questions, you'll be introduced to Mastercard's Overwhelming Offers program, but you'll also automatically earn your Farm Cash, thus ending your requirement to do anything else. This isn't the first time that we've seen these cross-promotions last longer than it takes to actually receive your reward, so make sure that you're not wasting time by doing things you don't have to! There are crops to water and harvest people!

Zynga discounts FarmVille 2X Mastery Statue, still about four bucks

And that could buy four full-blown games on your iPhone. Hey, we know that an item that grants FarmVille players double Mastery for a whole 48 hours is just plain awesome, but just consider the options before dropping about two Red Bulls on it.

Zynga has cut the price of the 2X Mastery Statue from 25 to just 20 Farm Cash, which slashes about a buck off of its price. However, keep in mind that 20 Farm Cash could nearly restock your Fuel tank, or buy a slew of attractive Trees or Animals.

Alright, the statue stays on your farm even after the effect wanes. Well, if that's worth 20 Farm Cash to you, then pick it up by all means. But this price cut only lasts for another five days, so run--don't walk!--to your nearest credit card/Pay Pal/Wal-Mart.
