Do you think that they are trying to tell you something Elvis?

Try using a pseudonym - then they wont know it's you:)

Hi rwilts

I did get the Honda bag - and its smells! Really plasticky vile smell, its bright yellow with flowery bits - not ideal for a 34 year old male!

I never get stuff that everyone else seems to! Never EVER get any paper/stationery despite applying for them a million times, didn't get the Drinkpac, and loads more I can't remember!

I never got the pampers coupons, despite being pregnant, intending to use them for actually buying the nappies & applying using 4 diffrent people's name/addressess/emails etc.

Was this when registering with their website? It happened to me (over a year ago), I genuinely registered intending to buy nappies and didn't get the coupons, so I complained to them and they sent me, I think it was £5 worth (instead of £4, woohoo!)

I didnt get the Honda bag, althou those i told about it did (this was a nasty smelling plastic thing... I recieved it and it still smells :p)
I didnt get the DVD-R disc (no one did.. I don't think they are going to honour as it was aimed at resellers really)
I didnt get the Nasel strip (it's just some nasal strips)
I didnt get the neck strap (not sure wot one this was)
I didnt get the chewing gum (no one did.. american sites don't send to the uk (anything that mentions state has properly left country in acidentally)
I didnt get the jelly beans ( althou i was up at 1am ) (it's quite small.. Just keep trying)
Prehaps you are ending the address in wrong? You will get one in the end. It's important to remember some of these companies don't really like getting a huge response for these offers and so the real genuine ones finish quick.

Hi rwilts.

Don't take it personally! Most of the freebies you listed are renowned as being 'no-shows'. There are quite a few freebies that turn up time and time again after being advertised on other freebie sites but they neve send freebies out. :(

The honda bag was one of the freebies that did turn up so you were just unlucky there! As for the jelly beans, that's a long-term offer and you can get samples sent every three months (if you are lucky!)

Keep trying! There are lots and lots of good freebies out there! Just have a look at the 'Freebies You Received Today' thread at the top of this page for inspiration. :)
