Earn free FarmVille Farm Cash in promotions with Pepsi, Zumba et al.

Zynga doesn't care if you're too busy crafting Pink Carnation Tea, because there is free Farm Cash to be had. Three more FarmVille Sponsored Links were discovered recently by FarmVille Feed thanks to Pepsi, Zumba and American Express. While not all of them will be available to you at the same time, consider this a primer on all the free Farm Cash that's bound to head your way soon enough.

First, remember that all Sponsored Links are endorsed by Zynga, and they're found underneath the FarmVille game screen. Clicking on each link will open a pop-up window with usually a short survey to complete before you're rewarded the Farm Cash. In most cases, the Farm Cash posts to players' Farm Cash totals within the hour of completing the small task, so sit tight.

Zumba!: 3 Free Farm Cash

This promotion, to generate buzz for the new Zumba game set to release on all major consoles, features a video advertisement and a short series of questions. All in all, this is your standard shot at some free Farm Cash.

Pepsi Refresh: 2 Free Farm Cash

Pepsi took a slightly different direction in its promotion. While a similar video advertisement will play for you, the company asks an open-ended question: "How would you refresh your world?" Then, you're provided with an open form to type a genuine answer into, and you must share the answer with your friends in order to earn the Cash.

American Express: 2 Free Farm Cash

The ubiquitous credit card company also takes the road most traveled with is promotion. After answering some simple questions next to a static advertisement for the company's reward program, you will have completed this task and will soon be 2 Farm Cash richer.

FarmVille: Free Crab Shack with any Farm Cash purchase

While the "free-gift-with-purchase" feature in FarmVille has continued to grow, giving users a way to stock up on extra animals that they may have missed in their original releases in the game, until recently, that's all the feature has been: a way to earn animals. Now, though, we're starting to see trees and even buildings come into the mix.

For example, the latest offering is the Crab Shack, which was originally released during the New England event way back in July of 2010, and then again in the Birthday Classics even earlier this year. Interestingly, this is one building that cost coins during its previous releases in the game, but if (for whatever reason) you never picked one up, here's a chance to earn one for as little as $1. For that price, remember you'll also earn 4 Farm Cash.

The reason this building is so significant is that it basically screams to be added to the Lighthouse Cove farm, which all players were given access to earlier this week. And since we can't (as of this writing) pull items out of storage from our others farms into the Lighthouse Cove, this is as close as you're going to get to having any of this theme on your land for the foreseeable future.

As usual, this free Crab Shack offer will only be around for a limited time, so make sure to login to your farm sooner, rather than later, if you want to take advantage of this deal.

Will you purchase a Farm Cash bundle as part of this free-gift-with-purchase giveaway? Would you pay Farm Cash to access your "other farm" storage in the Lighthouse Cove? Sound off in the comments.
