Update - March 3, 2012
Unfortunately it looks like the latest CCR update removed the link to those promotional carts.
I'm hopeful that the update that gives us the ability to link all our Gypsy carts to CCR will fix that problem.
But for now - the info below doesn't work. Sad face.... :(
I'll update when I know more. :)

When you purchased your Gypsy it will have come pre-loaded with 2 carts - Gypsy Font and Gypsy Wanderings.
Last year there was a promotion where if you registered your Gypsy by a certain date (I think it was around October 2010) you received five free downloadable cartridges. They were Blackletter, Christmas, Indie Art, Printing Press and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.
PC had a further promotion where you could receive another downloadable cart - Smiley Cards.
So which ones can you cut with CCR?
Provided you have used Cricut Sync to make sure your Gypsy is up to date the following carts will be available for you to cut with in CCR:
Blackletter
Christmas
Indie Art
Printing Press
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More
Smiley Cards
Currently CCR won't allow you to cut with Gypsy Font or Gypsy Wanderings. We'll have to wait for an update by PC for those carts to be linked to our Cricut.com account before we can cut with them with CCR.
Any digital carts you purchase from Cricut.com will show up as linked in CCR automatically. They will also show up on your Gypsy as a linked cart once you connect your Gypsy to Cricut Sync and update the cartridge content.

Good to know, Narelle. Thank you. I rarely use my gypsy, so now I will get her updated so I can have access to these in CCR.
Thanks for all the great information.

This is great to know. I haven't used my Gypsy in quite a while, so I will have to try to update it and see what I can use in CCR. Would really like access to Gypsy Font and Gypsy Wanderings as those are great cartridges.
I have updated my Gypsy to the latest version, in the hopes of getting the carts mentioned above. They are now on my Gypsy, but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to cut in CCR. You do state "Provided you have used Cricut Sync to make sure your Gypsy is up to date the following carts will be available for you to cut with in CCR", but I don't understand how to make them available in CCR. When I use them, I told to insert the cartridge. Would you please explain further?

I'll update this post with that info. Hate to think I'm misleading anyone! :)

I have updated my Gypsy regularly and I never got any of those carts. I already owned a few of them but I don't have Printing Press or Smiley Cards. How can I get them for my Gypsy?
@Kimie, Your Gypsy had to have been registered by October 2010 to receive the free carts. If your was registed by that date and updating it isn't working then you'll need to call PC customer service.
My original Gypsy was registered before Oct 2010 but it was replaced in Jan 2011, that must be why I didn't get the updates. Thank you.
