    Default So Called 'Free Offers'

    I've applied to god knows how many free offers and have yet to receive anything in return, off the top of my head theres been:

    Whiskas Cat Food (even got an email from them saying it was on its way)

    Free Cleaning Kit (the one with the free latex glove)

    Free Fox DVD

    Free Coffee Pods

    and numerous others.

    No doubt these fukin companies have made a mint on the back of my details, c**ts.

    I never got the Fox DVD either but I got all these;

    - Tetley teabag
    - Rich Italian Ground Coffee (can't remember where from now)
    - King of Shaves shaving oil
    - Centrum vitamins (x2)
    - Head & Shoulders shampoo
    - Nizorelle shampoo

    Might have been a couple more that I forgot to mention too.

    I didn't even attempt to get the cleaning kit with the latex glove cos it just looked a bit dodgy to me anyway :erm

    Well, I've not been coming here long and I've already had 3 or 4 things for free.

    But when it comes down to it, we all know that these companies are harvesting our details for resale, don't we?

    Plus isn't there a saying that nothing's really free?

    Yeah Ive had:

    Fox DVD - What Lies Beneath
    Centrum
    Head and Shoulders Citrus Mini Bottle - Perfect for the weekend I was just away.
    Nizorelle

    To stop the Junk Mail just tick the Box at the bottom mentioning you dont want any offers. The large companies (anyway) will definitely adhere to this and ensure you dont recieve any marketing rubbish.

    Im :erm

    I've had the following:

    numerous o2 sim cards
    Head and shoulders samples
    vitamins
    king of shaves samples
    coffee
    teabags

    probably some other things I can't think of right now and a $hitload of junkmail.

    i started sending off for these freebie offers a couple of years ago and have had all sorts of stuff through the post but not so much lately though

    things like..
    a few calculators
    parker pens
    enough shaving gel / oil from king of shaves to last a couple of years
    coffee
    head n shoulders n other brands of shampoo
    mouse mats

    other stuff i can't remember

    there used to be web sites where you could play various games to gather point's once you had enough points you could request a prize they were quite good one that springs to mind was speedyclick.com but they seemed to have dissapeared now
