The Bluesmart carry-on is being touted as the world’s first smart, connected carry-on. I wrote about it last month and it really does look like an intriguing piece of luggage that moves that category into the connected world. I mean, your bag knows your trip plans? Pretty cool!
– Bluesmart Indiegogo Product Link (this is my referral link – I will get a $20 refund and you will receive a $20 refund upon preorder as well!)
Even though the bag sounds amazing by itself, something even more amazing is its funding. It was seeking $50,000 in funding through Indiegogo and has since hit the $754,000 mark – and it still has 21 days left! That definitely shows that their is demand for a product like this. Not only that, but the price is a very reasonable $235. I say reasonable because that is really a little less than the average price of a carry-on – and this one has a lot of features built-in. If the quality of the bag is high enough, this could become an even hotter product than it already is.
But, it is still $235 for a product that will not be shipped until next August. Fortunately, they have a referral program that will give $20 in a refund back for every person that you refer and purchase made. Plus, they will get a $20 refund as well! I have included my referral link above. If you are interested in purchasing one, I would appreciate it if you used my link and then you would have one to use as well (as well as getting a $20 refund). It would be cool to see if I could get a bag for free with referrals! 🙂

@ Charles: I am still confuse on how this work. I have some questions:
1. so in order to get the bag for free, I have to get 12 people to buy the bag?
2. The person that use my referral has to buy the bag in order to get $20 and I also get $20, right?
3. Do I have to put an order and buy the bag in order to get the $20 credit? same thing if I set the referral account by myself?
1. That is correct
2. Yes, they would have to purchase through your link to get the $20 (and you would as well)
3. To get the $20 credit applied, you would need to purchase a bag.
Unlike Kickstarter, Indiegogo does not allow you to cancel your contribution so you could not buy now and cancel later if you don’t get enough referrals. However, I am not certain as to whether you need to purchase the bag first to get all of the referrals.
I can’t seem to click the referral link on the article. Can you repost it?
Hmm, that is strange. I saw that some had clicked through so it must have worked at some point. I will redo in the post, but here it is as well – thanks!

Ah, stupid me! I put it in the top of the post but not in the Link part! 🙂 Thanks for pointing that out!
