Food Lion ~ Promo Food Lion: text for free coupons (exp 12/16/09)

I got the RedPlum mailer (really just an ad wrapper) today, and there were 3 separate offers to text to FL to get coupons for free items - Nestle Morsels 10-12 oz bag, 2 liter 7-up or Canada Dry, and Folgers Gourmet Selections Coffee, 11-12 oz bag. This offer expires 12/16/09.

We tried just one, with the 7-up, and the response requested that we text our MVP card #. The next text asked for a phone #, and the next confirmed our address. I think that there was only one more, confirming our entry in the sweepstakes. The ad says that coupons will be mailed.

If you pay for text messages by the message, this could get costly. We have unlimited, so not a big deal.

I have scanned the ad wrapper, you can view it here Food Lion text for free coupons (My first try at scanning, uploading and linking!)

This is a new way of going about things.

Thanks! Have a question, I have unlimited texting, texted, got message back that said Premium Messaging has been blocked. What's premium messaging?

I'll probably call Verizon this week and ask.

Sounds like a Verizon thing. The ad says "standard messaging rates apply". I just checked my Sprint account, and no extra charges showed up. :shrug7:
