Back in January, we saw Zynga partnering with Nabisco to offer two free Farm Cash to users who participated in an Oreo DSRL promotion, and now, thanks to the folks at FarmVille Feed, we've learned that Oreo is back again, offering another two free Farm Cash to farmers.
This new promotion, as usual, can be spotted underneath the FarmVille gameplay area. If the promotion is currently active on your account (remember, you may have other incomplete promotions that are blocking this one from view), you'll be able to click on the Sponsored Link [pictured] and take part in a short activity where you'll share your family's favorite Oreo and milk moment "with the world."
Completing this short step will see you earning two free Farm Cash that should be added to your overall total automatically. If you don't see it, a quick refresh of the game should force your Farm Cash total to update, where you'll be two Farm Cash richer!

Earn 3 FarmVille Farm Cash in Dr. Oz Show promotion
With all of the Halloween decorations and limited edition animals released in FarmVille recently, I wouldn't be surprised if your virtual (and real-world) wallets were hurting from all of the spending. In order to help ease the pain a bit, Zynga has launched a cross-promotional activity with the Dr. Oz Show in order to offer all participants three Farm Cash, absolutely free.
Don't worry - this activity has nothing to do with self-discovery or embarrassing health issues; it's simply a poll that you can answer in absolutely any way you'd like to receive your free Cash. This promotion, like all others, can be found underneath the FarmVille gameplay area, at the bottom right (usually, depending on your broswer). You'll see a preview for Dr. Oz's show, and will be able to answer three questions about what you do to stay healthy, and what sorts of topics you'd like to learn more about. Again, it doesn't matter which way you answer these three poll questions, so just blow through them to get to the end.
At the end, you're asked to click on a link to send Dr. Oz a question (technically, the button sends you to his website), but don't click on it! I mean, I suppose you can, if you're genuinely interested in the content, but for the sake of our promotion, all of your work here is done (you'll know it when you see the "You've earned your Farm Cash" text in the top right corner of the activity window.
When you close the window, you should automatically receive your free three Farm Cash, but if not, just refresh the game and that should set things right. We'll make sure to let you know when additional Farm Cash activities launch, so keep checking back with us!

FarmVille: Plush ornaments coming to Best Buy December 4 [UPDATE]
[UPDATE] It turns out these animals will cost $9.99 each, or $0.99 with a $25 Zynga Game Card purchase. They will be available exclusively at Best Buy locations, and you can find out more about them in our extended preview!
And the love affair between Zynga and Best Buy continues. On top of re-launching a cross-promotion within CityVille, Zynga and Best Buy have partnered to offer FarmVille players a chance at real-world ornaments for their Christmas trees next month, along with bonuses in-game.
A player named Theresa sent FarmVilleFreak pictures, and a bit of info, concerning these ornaments, which will be a sort of real world "Mystery Game." There will be eight different animals available to receive, and each animal ornament is purchased separately. You'll only know which kind of animal you've received after opening the package back at home. We know that along with each animal, you'll also receive 10 Farm Cash and an in-game virtual animal, which will likely match the one you've received in the real world.
As for new information, we have personally contacted Best Buy and have learned that the promotion is not technically live yet, either in the game or in the stores. However, that hasn't stopped players like Theresa from seeing them in her stores. Think of this as a sort of "breaking release date," that you sometimes see when retailers sell movies or video games before the street date. That being the case, you won't be able to redeem any codes or items you receive as of this writing, because the promotion technical hasn't started.
We also learned from Best Buy that the official start date for this promotion will be December 4. On that date, all Best Buy's should start carrying these animals, but if you're lucky, you can of course grab some now from those naughty Best Buys that have broken the date. The price point is expected to be $12.95 per animal, although upon further investigation at my own personal Best Buy, I was also told that they might cost $15.00 each. I suppose we'll just have to wait until December 4 to find out for sure.

Have you spotted these FarmVille plush ornaments at your local Best Buy? Which animals did you receive inside? Will you pay $12.95 (or $15) for a single ornament?

FarmVille: Earn a free Monkey for playing Adventure World
Apparently, the 19 million people already playing Adventure World isn't enough for Zynga, as the two teams behind FarmVille and Adventure World have teamed up in a new cross-promotion, aiming to get people to try out the company's newest game for more than just a few minutes. To be specific, the next time you login to FarmVille, you'll likely receive a pop-up letting you know of the new promotion. Note: the pop-up will likely have a broken image on it; apparently the FarmVille team didn't test the pop-up before pushing it live. The text, however, is intact.
The rules of this cross-promotion are simple: you'll just need to follow the in-game link to Adventure World and reach Level 5 before October 5. If you can accomplish that, you'll receive a free FarmVille Monkey. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned broken image, we can't see exactly what this (hopefully cute) monkey looks like, but the fact that he's available for free makes me want him either way (I'd imagine I'm not alone).
If you've yet to try Adventure World, make sure to check out our many guides for the game's Expeditions and story quests, so that you can level up to that Level 5 milestone as quickly as possible. For everyone else, who is already a Level 5 Adventurer, you'll only need to sit tight and wait for your prize to arrive next month.

Earn 4 free FarmVille Farm Cash in Capital One promotion
At this rate, perhaps we should just rename FarmVille "Capital OneVille." Why? Yet another cross-promotional activity has launched in the game, allowing users to walk away with 4 free Farm Cash. Unlike the Capital One farm and goat, or even the Capital One free gift that can be sent to friends, this promotion is found where most other free Farm Cash promotions are located: underneath the FarmVille gameplay area.
This promotion is a fairly lengthy one. Once you launch the activity window, you'll need to watch a full Capital One trailer, and can then answer some quiz and survey about what you've seen or the Capital One brand in general. Don't worry - these "quiz" questions are incredibly easy, and if I had to make a guess, it likely wouldn't matter which way you answered; you'd still likely get the Farm Cash at the end.
After manually answering one fill-in-the-blank question, the activity will finally be complete, and you'll be the proud owner of 4 free Farm Cash. This is double the amount of Farm Cash we normally see released in such promotions, so at least it excuses a bit of the additional time it takes to complete this particular activity. As usual, you'll want to complete this promotion as soon as you see it pop-up underneath your game; there's no telling when it will expire, and you will have missed your chance.
Have you seen the Capital One promotion appear under your gameplay area in FarmVille? What will you do with your four free Farm Cash? Sound off in the comments.

FarmVille: Visit the Capital One farm for a free Capital One Goat
As we told you earlier this week, Zynga has officially launched a three-part cross-promotion with Capital One that sees the brand returning to FarmVille (and also making an appearance in CityVille and the Pioneer Trail). For FarmVille, we see the Capital One farm being added to our neighbor bars, and an incentive being offered for actually visiting said farm.
Once you visit the Capital One farm (don't worry if it doesn't show up in your friends list; an in-game prompt will appear allowing you to access it), you'll find that you don't really need to do anything here, except take in the scenery and click on the "Help Out" button that quickly appears. This sees the Capital One Goat (you'll know it's him as he's wearing sunglasses) harvesting crops and boosting animal storage buildings before being given to you as a gift.
What's more, if you agree to visit the Capital One Facebook Page, and then "Like" it, you'll receive one free application of "Capital One Grow," or instant grow for your farm. On top of this, there's also a Capital One Gift available to send to your friends on the FarmVille free gifts page, that can contain all sorts of goodies, so make sure to send some while you can. It will only be available to send for the next nine days.
Any and all of these prizes will appear in your Gift Box when you return to your farm, so make sure to check them out!
What do you think of this newest Capital One promotion? Will you save your Capital One grow for a Double Mastery event, or will you use it right away? Sound off in the comments.
