Most, like 90% of companies said they did not have a mailing list, but they would send me out X# of coupons for contacting them, a lot said i could contact them again in 3-4 months and request more.

I got some good coupons

Starbucks (legitimate complaint) 2 Free drink coupons
Banquet (legitimate complaint) 3 Free products up to $7

Compliments:
Skintimate Free
Schick $3? off of refill cartridges
Mamma Bella frozen bread Free, no max value
Scrubbing bubbles 2 Free action scrubber refills packs, coupon booklet
Huggies 2 $2 off coupons
Benefuls 2 Free up to $1.99

Healthy Choice $.50/1

Purina 2 $2/1 coupons
Pampers $3/1 diapers and $1.50/1 wipes

I only directly asked for coupons for the Benefuls. The elderly lady that gives me her coupons every week likes to buy her dog those but has a hard time affording them. I said in my email that she's been feeding her dog Mighty Dog because of the FREE insert coupon (true) and that I'd love to get some coupons to help her out.

All of the other coupons were sent in response to compliments on the company's products

Colgate also sent me out an envelope full of coupons. Same ones listed above. I just sent them an email telling them I was a long time Crest user, until I received their Maxfresh free in a Walgreens deal. Told them I absolutely loved it and unexpectedly they sent me out (not a coupon book), an envelope full of really good Coupons for toothbrushes, softsoap, irish spring, toothepaste, Murphys oil soap and others.

Do you go to each individual company to make this request or send a blanket request out? Tell me more.

I emailed Arizona Tea, and complimented them on their great tea. I told them both my husband and I loved their product. They emailed me a thank you. I thought it was over. About 3 days later, I received a box. It contained 2 REALLY nice caps and a bunch of $1 off a gallon coupons.

I go to each company to make the request. It's a little time consuming however it's easier working off a list you know you more likly to see results from.

Lucky Leaf sent me two $1.00 when I told them I loved their products.
