TIPS What I did when freebies didn't come . . .

I have had several freebies not come. For some of the ones I really wanted I sent an email to the company saying I had requested such and such and never got it. It has worked for some. What do you do?

ETA: This is my first poll ever . . . it was easier to set up than I thought.

I sign up for so much that I rarely even remember what I have signed up for. I have never gone back and asked for anything that didn't come!

Me too! I usually am surprised when one arrives because I don't remember asking for anything. And for others (like those Folgers coffees) there were so many signup sites that I had multiples coming & wouldn't have known if one were missing or not.

Default Re: What I did when freebies didn't come . . .

When companies do not come through with the freebies that THEY offered, I just mark on my list of freebies that I send for that they don't honor their offers. Then when I'm in the store and I have a choice of buying their product or another manufacturer's product, I never buy the one who did not come through with their freebie offer.

I chose other.. usually I have no clue.. and am thankful for the ones I get..

but I am now tracking what I fill out.. when they come in I mark it.. that way I know if my time spent is worth it KWIM

I usually forget what I sign up for and am surprised when something actually shows up.

Nothing. Like the other I sign up for so many that it doesn't occure to me that I didn't get something.

Default Re: What I did when freebies didn't come . . .

it's one thing if it wasn't sent...but for most of mine I don't think that's the case..I think it's the post office...if I find a good freebie..I'll pass it along to my mom, friends ect....

so if there's comes and mine doesn't, then it wasn't the company...

but I agree..most of the time I don't have the slightest clue cause I do so many...it sure makes getting the mail an adventure!
