TRY ME FREE HUNT (Expired offers)

[silverlady]

Has anyone found any other Try Me Free products in shops? So far I have found !:D :D

Ainsley Harriott Tea Bags ( Tesco ) ends 30.04.2004

Candia long life milk ( Sainsburys )

Sunnybisk like weetabix ( Tesco ) ends 31.05.2004

Nestle Sveltesse Yogurt !ends 30.09.2004

Ski Dessert Recipes !ends 31.01.2004

Flash Orange Degreaser ends 30.05.2004

Thatchers Cider ( Tesco ) ends 30.06.2004

Kaliber Alcohol Free Lager money back if you DON'T like it ends 15.09.2004

Please remember with all these you need a till receipt to claim, so if buying more than one at the same time get till receipts for each.

Also, it might seem obvious but these are all one application per household, so I ask and use friends/neighbours/relations addresses (who don't want to claim themselves ) and get several of each item free.
Enjoy ;D

[silverlady]

Found Bachelors Savoury Rice in Asda this morning

Answer to one application per household.
Joe Smith at flat1 yr address.
Anne Jones at flat 2 yr address.etc until you run out of names or courage.

[TREVORCOLMAN]

LOL. What happens when you get to Flat ZZZ!



Trev

[TREVORCOLMAN]

Or when you try to cash a cheque in the name of Joe Bloggs??


Trev

[gritts]

If you can, use your work address. ;)

[chaos2]

Everyone at work using the same work address? !

[gritts]

hmm.... yes, depends how many your work employs I suppose??? Also, I don't think too many people take advantage of Try me free offers? Not including MSE's of course.

I said that as I got to cheques from Sacla this morning. One to home and one to work.


I like the flat A idea.

[Andrea]

Theres a try me free 350g shaker of Solo Low Sodium Sea Salt, price £1.69 in Tesco apparently.

Also, the Batchelors savoury rice are in Safeway too.

[silverlady]

Thanks Andrea
Found it today, save money and be healthy, bonus ;D

Can you give me with address for the "Kailber try me free" - I had bought it for the drivers over the New Year period and it tastes pretty poor! ???

Thanx ;D

[silverlady]

The application I think has to be on the official application form i.e the outer packaging of special packs.
You need to say in 15 words or over why you didn't like the taste and send it together with your till receipt to

Kaliber Money Back Taste Offer
Dept 2469
PO Box 77
Aylesbury
HP19 9RP

only one application per household

I thought it tasted ****

[redrobbo]

A possible answer to the flat 999 problem ....
give your house a formal sounding name.
Something relatively meaningless and trivial
"Martin House" ?? ;D

You could then have a substantial number of flats at that address (think BIG, think high-rise) OR a substantial number of company names with a large number of employees 8)

How about:
Joe Bloggs, Dept. Quality Control, MS Experts, Martin House, Upmy St., Upsidetown, Deadfordshire...

[silverlady]

Most of the refunds are cheques so you have to use your own name to be able to cash them. I find using friend and relatives best, most don't bother with 'try me free' or free samples so are quite happy for me to use their names and addresses. They give me the cash and put the cheques into their accounts. I think they find me amusing or sad

[Smartasss]

You could use your own name, together with your friends addresses, then when the letter arrives (addressed to you), they'll know its just another of silverladys sad wheezes, and redirect the envelope to you.

[silverlady]

I agree that would be easier, but I wonder how many people do claim their money back? Would the same name turning up say 10 times be noticed? I wonder.
Also I get a cuppa tea or coffee and a chat when I visit to collect ;D

[TREVORCOLMAN]

Can you send the stubble back too?


Trev ;D

[tonyivb]

Regarding using your own name...

If you have a name that has spelling variants or shortenings then use those. I have a very unusual surname (in 't Veld-Brown) and my first name is Anthony so I have a multitude of options!

Many British institutions' databases cannot handle my surname so I get a varity of spellings (Veld-Brown, Brown, inni Velo Brown???) along with the more normal variants of Anthony (Antony, Tony, Toni etc) and I have never had a problem with paying the cheques into my account.

As previously stated by Mike, you could combine these with different flat numbers, but it depends on how much of a brass neck you have.

[silverlady]

Ecover biological washing powder 30 washes £3.93 in Tescos 'your money back if you don't love this ecover product' valid until 31 March one application per household,till receipt required.

Also, the Batchelors savoury rice are in Safeway too.

You have to send an sae to claim the money back on the rice, it's not a freepost address, so it takes two stamps to claim the money back and they only refund one. So it's not the try-for-free it claims on the packaging, but you only find this out after you've brought the product.

And you definitely need to get the try-for-free Solo salt to go with it, because it's tasteless stuff.

[tonyivb]

I looked for the Flash orange degreaser, and i found the last one with a special 'Try me for Free' label.

You DO NOT have to send a coupon/barcode for this, only the receipt & your name & address, so if you can't find a special pack, here is the address...

Flash Try me Free Offer, Dept 1112, FREEPOST ANG 8107, Diss, Norfolk, IP98 3SP

Just to make sure you have the right one... the product is '500ml Flash Ultimate Orange Spray' (called 'Flash Degreaser' on the front label, barcode 5413149095830).

Happy hunting!

ps Has anyone else tried the Ainsley Harriott tea-bags... I think that you need at least 2 bags to make a decent cuppa!

nice site :)

If you have all the products on one recipt, how dyou get round this???

[TREVORCOLMAN]

You out of luck and I guess your stuck.

A Poet.

>:(

[Smartasss]

@ mark b

Old Clever Trevor is a great poet, but not much help!!

Take your receipt back to the customer services desk and explain the problem.

They will give you official hand written receipts for each product to send in.

thank you ;D

[Lawnmower Man]

Here is a Try Me Free to add to the list.

Saw it in Tesco a little earlier (and bought it)

Swedish Glace Dairy free ice cream.

I have actually had it before and I personally think it is great.

Cheers

LM :)

[Andrea]

Ooh, ta LM. Pity I missed it when I was in there today - will have to look next time.

I spotted one in Tesco earlier too. I think it was Honey Nut Shredded Wheat but check for yourselves - whichever cereal it was, it says on the front of the packet something like "moreish or we'll give you your money back". If you try it and don't like it you have to send the form back saying why you didn't like it and I think it said they'll refund the price and the cost of a 2nd class stamp.

I didn't buy one myself as my kitchen's overflowing with cereals at the moment thanks to the Eat for £1 offer so I'm just trying to remember the details off-hand.

[heleen]

Sorry guys, but it's IMPOSSIBLE not to like the Shredded Honey Nut ;D

[Mancunian]

Please post any Try Me Free offers that you find in the shops on this thread. Thanks.

http://www.actimelmoneyback.co.uk/ (This one now closed.)

NB: I've been tipped off that they dont actually video evidence, like the TV ad to prove you did actually feel better!! hehe

about the offer on Wilkinson Sword Quattro razors, do you need to buy a special promotional pack to get your money back?

- Thanx

[silverlady]

I just got Fairy Power Spray in Tesco

You don't need the special neck label to take part in the offer. you just need a receipt. here's the details for all you who can't find the special packs;

po box 10
DISS
Norfolk

hope this helps :)

[Mancunian]

fao Heldaz...

yes you do need the special Wilkinson Quattro pack.. with the red card around it. There was a special discount as well last week,,,it was only £4 odd.

I suppose this doesnt matter if your just buying the one.. but I have 3 available addresses to claim on...so I'll buy 4 packs ,, claim on 3. I'll have 8 blades and a handle to use them.

[Mancunian]

anyone seen, heard or claimed on Oil of Olay Regenerist?

The TV ad says see special packs for a money back offer but only seen the normal packs...and seems quite expensive.

(Not for me obviously! hehe)

[heldaz]

Thanx mancunian, thought it might be something like that as i couldnt find any promotional ones (just my luck) lol

[silverlady]

In Tescos I found they still have

[JackieClarrie]

I just want to thank everyone for these tips. I have never noticed these try me free offers before but I have now written a list out and will definitely have a look for them all next time I go shopping. And I will see if I can spot any more. Cheers ;D

[Smartasss]

I found Big Tom in Safeway.

***************

I also had a problem with Nestle.

In the end I rang their customer service dept (international freephone 0080063785385).

They seemed to know their handling agent is useless, as they sent me a cheque direct (and for a little more cash than the original claim!)

[luci]

Pearl Drops tooth polish, try me free. !Don't know expiry date. just saw it on TV.

[Andrea]

Cactus - if you're looking in Safeway have a good look round the whole fruit juices and waters aisle. I couldn't find it either when I first looked because I was looking where the fruit juice cartons were. It was actually at the other end of the aisle near the bottles of flavoured water. :)

[mhawkshaw]

I've had the money back for all of these except the Sveltesse Yogurt and Ski Dessert. Has anyone had a refund for them?


I sent off for the Nestl! Sveltesse offer back in December and haven't received the refund! I called Nestl! Consumer Services (00800 637 85385) and after taking my details said they would contact the promoters and chase it up. I'll wait and see... :-/

[Yoga Girl]

Rachels organic yoghurt 450g tub - try me free offer in Sainsburys.

They're pulling your leg.

Nestl! UK Ltd is the promoter of this offer.

This is in the smallprint of the offer:

Promoter: Nestl! UK Ltd, St George's House, Croydon, CR9 1NR

Get back on to them and ask them to now pull the other one!

(I had a result after asking for a manager on that freephone number - he arranged a cheque direct from Nestl! within days, and he rounded it up!!)

[Leothecat]

??? ??? ???
Sorry if this is daft. I have been following this thread with great interest. Yesterday I went off to do my shopping in Tescos, determined to find the 'Try me free' items.
I searched and searched but could not find ANY!! I had no baby with me and was able to take the time to look really really carefully. I was there for nearly 2 hours!!!!
Where are these? How do I find them? Are they clearly labelled?

Thanks for any help.

[shelly]

Of course it's not a daft question! They can be any product,and any where in the shop.The product might not necessarily say "try me free" in large letters though,it could either have a ticket stuck to it or a bottle could have a label round its neck.If you read it it will say something like,"Ty me free,just send off your till receipt with this label and get your money back".I have never done it myself,bit know alot of ppl who do it all time.Don't forget that if you buy a few in one shopping trip you need to pay for those items individually because you need to send the till receipt off and you may not get it back.

[silverlady]

Hi JanetRose
I find it helps me if I write down a list of Try Me Free items others have found. Then as I do my shopping I watch out for them.
Sometimes I think the offers are only in specific stores ie Tesco,Sainsburys or Asda.
Where I live the offers always seem to be a week or two after the larger towns or cities.
Just keep looking, I'm sure you'll find them. Sad I know, but after a while it becomes second nature to scan the shelves looking for offers.
Good luck, :)

[Leothecat]

;D
Thanks Shelly and Silverlady.
I shall keep my eyes peeled next week.
I'll let you know.

[silverlady]

TAKE CARE, I have just been shopping and found Glist dishwash tablets Try Me Free in Tesco Extra, only one problem, the offer finished 31.12.03 nearly got caught out ???

[svmitche]

I know yoga_girl posted the general item, but more info on the Rachel's Yoghurt promo:

http://www.rachelsorganic.co.uk/news/articles/031.html

New Tetley Plus teas at Tesco, 79p. Return the coupon inside marked tubs with till receipt & your comments on the tea for a refund of cost + postage up to 99p. Offer closes 31/7/04. May be available elsewhere but I've only seen them in Tesco for the first time today.

I use the same address but add a or b right the way through the alphabet. Its a bit naughty, but it's worked so far. If you still want the item when you've got all the way to z, then try aa etc. It's worked for me. ;)

I wouldn't want that Kaliber again if they gave me double my money back.

[silverlady]

Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpolish.
It looks like an ordinary pack, but when you look at the back of the pack it reads,
Pearl drops will help whiten and brighten teeth in three weeks or we will give you your money back.
Offer applies to Pearl drops Icemint/Sensitive 50ml and is restricted to 1 claim for one product per household.If after three weeks you are not satisfied with the results send your original till receipt, with the carton base and a letter explaining your dissatifaction.

[flossy_splodge]

Be aware that the Ainsley Tea bag offer does in fact say you must give a reason of MORE than a certain number of words. If you don't meet this requirement they send your paperwork back and you have to resubmit! I know it happened to me. Normally expect such things to be 5 words or less or similar so read the detail carefully!

[silverlady]

Hiya

Does anyone know if you have to say why your asking for your money back on the Flash Orange Degreaser ?

Or do you just send reciept and name and addy details?

Thanx

- Heldaz

[Andrea]

No need to say why on that one Heldaz. :)

[plumpmouse]

Heldaz,

(I had a result after asking for a manager on that freephone number - he arranged a cheque direct from Nestl! within days, and he rounded it up!!)


I contacted them again after not getting anything after my last call and a result! They posted me a cheque for £3 as a goodwill gesture. I didn't complain or say that I had called previously. I just said politely how I had not received anything and the person on the other end said how they'd had trouble with the company doing the promo for them. ;D

[houseofpat]

I sent my receipt away for Flash Orange Degreaser months ago and I have received nothing. I called the customer care number on the Flash bottle last week and they put me through to the company who were dealing with the cashback. the woman checked my address details and said they had not received anything and there was nothing she could do. I complained that I didnt have another receipt to send and she wasnt very helpful Eventually she said I could write in amd gave me an address. I havent bothered as it means another stamp and I still may not get anything under their terms and conditions.

Has this happened to anyone else?

[mhawkshaw]

No - received my refund after about a month.

[Yoga Girl]

How long does it take to get your money back from these try-me-free offers? Havn't received anything yet.

[tomek]

RE: Yoga Girl

Most of the offers specify the refund time in T&C
The most common one is 'Please allow 28 days from receipt of application for receipt of refund'

But usually between 2-3 weeks

;)

[Yoga Girl]

Thanks conan
Hope my cheques start arriving soon!

[silverlady]

Gillette Venus Razor for Women in Boots

Saw this today, if you buy Venus razor you also get a Satin Care shave gel for free (worth about £2.99 I think) They still had the TMF promotion pack razor. :D

???

For the Swedish Glace Dairy Free Ice Cream do you have to buy a special pack as I can't seem to find any?

If not do you have an address to send to and what is the closing date?

[silverlady]

Swedish Glace
The pack with the promotion have a round sticker on them. You need to send this sticker together with your till receipt and say in a minimum of 15 words why you selected Swedish Glace and which store you bought it.
I found the promotional packs in Asda about a week ago.
The offer ends 31.12.04 so there's still time
Good luck

[silverlady]

Herta Scooters
I haven't heard of them but they seem to be hot dog sausage balls,saw this one in Asda.
Closing date 30.04.04.
You don't have to buy special promotional pack.
To apply write your name and address in capitals on a plain piece of paper, together with till receipt (highlighting your purchase of Herta Scooters) to

A friend has set up a freebies website that it still under heavy construction but has a forum specifically for Try me free offers.

The part i really like is that when the site is up and running properly you can set notifications up around the site differently so that you can be informed about Try me frre forums posts and not about others e.g. prize draws etc. 8)

I'll post a link in the referals section - keep em peeled

[Andrea]

I have a feeling this isn't going to be my day.

Has anyone else received a letter from MKM Marketing & Promotions about the Big Tom TMF offer?

They're saying they can't process my application as they require the original till receipt. If they didn't receive my till receipt with the tag how on earth did someone know to write £2.29 on the inside of the tag (which is what I paid)? >:( ::)

I can feel a strongly-worded email coming on. Especially considering I bought a second bottle because my husband really liked it. ::)

[mhawkshaw]

I'd read the instructions carefully for the Big Tom TMF offer. I included the tag and the receipt with the item highlighted. They'd better send me a refund - I hated it! I ended up throwing half of it away! Fortunately buying it pushed my shop at Safeway over £30 allowing me to get a 3p off a litre of petrol at Safeway petrol stations.

[Smartasss]

Tesco's have some promotional packs of Honey Nut Shredded Wheat with 50% extra free in the pack (still with TMF offer Andrea originally posted) - goes towards combatting the irritation of having to send them some back to get your money back!

[Yoga Girl]

James White apple & elderflower fruit juice, 75cl glass bottle, try bottle for free offer but offer expires 31.3.04. Found it in Sainsburys amongst fruit juices. Til receipt and claim form required.

[silverlady]

Seems to be a distinct lack of TMF offers, any one seem any? :'(

[terrierlady]

thats because all the brands now know your about to gen us all up silverlady, ;D thankyou for all your leads.

[silverlady]

Hi terrierlady
My pleasure to help save a few pennies. ;D

Has anyone found any other Try Me Free products in shops? So far I have found !:D :D

Nestle Sveltesse Yogurt !ends 30.09.2004

Ski Dessert Recipes !ends 31.01.2004

Nestl! has been telling people that the one per household offer applies and only sending out a refund on one of these.

But there's nothing that says they are the same offer and even the close by dates are months apart.

If you phone the Nestl! number that's listed above, though, you should be able to get both refunds on both.

[heldaz]

Hiya

Just had this in an email :-

Veet hair lightening cream..... it states .... were confident youll be happy with the results, were offering you a money back guarantee no questions asked.

I pressume theres something on the packaging that states this.

Ha ha ha, Andrea just stuck one on the Major.

Good one ;D

[wirm]

In my local tesco i found tipex and Pentel pens that you can claim the money back all you have to do is send away the recipt along with an attached form.

Not sure what the chances or getting my money back are though.

[Andrea]

I've just read on another forum that theres a TMF on Youngs Frozen Cod (packs of 4 large fillets). !Apparently theres a coupon on the pack that you have to send with your receipt and you'll be refunded up to £3.89.

You have to look out for the "money back guarantee - taste challenge packs" in the freezer section. !

:)

Just seen them in Tesco this evening and the offer expiry date on the packet was 30 March 2005

Gillette Venus Razor for Women in Boots

Saw this today, if you buy Venus razor you also get a Satin Care shave gel for free (worth about £2.99 I think) They still had the TMF promotion pack razor. :D

i spotted one of these today & to get the refund you have to send back the razor handle...so its def a try me rather than keep me offer as it were.

[silverlady]

Rach, you still get the shave gel for free worth about £2.99. ;D

[jo_b]

Is this offer still around? I was looking at the venus razor in my local Boots yesterday and saw no mention of free shave gel.

Didn't bother buying it in the end because you have to send the handle back. Although I suppose you could leave it right up until the deadline of the offer and send it back when it had started to get a bit manky!

I was in Boots and they have taken the signs down, so I am not sure the free shave gel will be going thru, I did see the razor handles with the try me free offer in Asda though.

I got my cheque thru for the razor handle just the other day, great freebie!

;D ;D ;D

[luci]

Is TMF on all packs? I saw this in Safeway the other day, but didn't notice a TMF sticker or anything. Is it in tiny writing on the back?

Just wanted to remind people to look closely at the expiry date of the offer. The box I've got says 30/04/04 which is coming round soon. I noticed that earlier posts said the offer was valid until a lot later, so maybe safeway have an old batch! ::)

[heldaz]

Hiya jo

Maybe yours are older as you say, ive checked mine and it says 31 aug 2004

So far Ive only looked on line lol but im going shopping today so ill get some then :)

[terrierlady]

safeway have the fish on offer at 2.99 dont know if thats the cheapest but all boxed branded with try me label :D

[Angela]

The typhoo teabags are still on offer at sommerfields BOGOF with the taste challenge money back guarantee on them.

I saw an advert today for So Good soya milk (I think it was the tall, thin pack that is in the fridge with the fresh milk, not the shorter, fatter one thats with UHT milk) where if you "really don't like it" you can get your money back. IIRC it has a big flash across the front of the pack telling you of the offer

This is my first posting on this board..... I didn't know whether to or not as the saving is only .79p but here goes.

The Calming version is free by redemption at Asda stores, they DONT all have redemption labels so be selective when grabbing one.

[pipe]

On the back of Surf sunshine washing powder

'We guarantee to remove the 99 stains listed on this pack but if you are not happy you can get your money back by calling the Surf Careline.

You have to give them the code off the box, tell them where you purchased it and what stain it didn't remove.
No receipt needed.

Make sure you buy a large box!

[Angela]

Did you see the thread on grab it while you can.
Surf is on offer at Co-op this week for £1.49 for 3.3kg
box.
So buy 4 boxes and then phone up and complain and with any luck you will get the full retail price back of the 4 boxes which is £3.59 each.
We need to come up with a stain that is not listed,and if we all use the same stain they will definately think it doesnt remove it.
Any ideas?

Anyone know it?????Isn't there a webite that compares the weeks best prices ?????

[Andrea]

Hi

This thread is specifically for products that offer your money back via a cheque when you try the product, making them completely free.

Rose999, when you have time, could you repost the Hills offer on the Grab it.. or Your Tips thread as its a good one and more people will see it there than on here?

Papadak, I think the site you're looking for is Fixture Ferrets (http://www.fixtureferrets.co.uk/index.asp).

Just to let people know that the special trial packs of the Wilkinson Sword Quattro razor are still available. I got a couple in Sainsbury's (Forestside, Belfast) tonight. About £6 for each pack of a razor handle and two blades, which is extortionate really, so they can't blame us for making the most of their 'best shave or your money back' offer!

[gritts]

I got my money back for Rachel's organic yogurt today (i didn't buy the greek yogurt).

Plus 20p postage.

Amoy relented, and sent a very apologetic letter to me, with refund, due to a change of policy. Originally I had been refused, but not in time to resubmit by the closing date, after I had not managed to find 15 words to say about the product. I guess someone had their hand slapped for making customers hostile towards the brand name!

TAKE CARE when applying for this TMF.
When you fill in the form attached to the neck of the bottle it appears they just want name address and email address, but if you read the terms and conditions 5 it says "Your claim must include your name and address, SIGNATURE,and proof of purchase"
Point 7 of the terms and conditions says "Incomplete applications will not be processed"
So don't forget a signature.
Is this a crafty way not to pay? :-/

Has anyone found any other Try Me Free products in shops? So far I have found !:D :D

Ainsley Harriott Tea Bags ( Tesco ) ends 30.04.2004

Candia long life milk ( Sainsburys )

Sunnybisk like weetabix ( Tesco ) ends 31.05.2004

Nestle Sveltesse Yogurt !ends 30.09.2004

Ski Dessert Recipes !ends 31.01.2004

Flash Orange Degreaser ends 30.05.2004

Thatchers Cider ( Tesco ) ends 30.06.2004

Kaliber Alcohol Free Lager money back if you DON'T like it ends 15.09.2004

Please remember with all these you need a till receipt to claim, so if buying more than one at the same time get till receipts for each.

Also, it might seem obvious but these are all one application per household, so I ask and use friends/neighbours/relations addresses (who don't want to claim themselves ) and get several of each item free.
Enjoy ;D

I don't believe that! And I really don't believe that it is worth £2.99 - I tried it and it's horrible! :-X

Was this written on all of the labels, as I didn't notice this! I tried the 'Chardonnay' one. I know it's alcohol-free, but I've tried some very good alcohol-free wine in the past, and this wasn't one of them!

I will be very annoyed if they don't refund me or at least return it to me for me to sign! >:(

In Superdrug today SOME (about half) the packs of Gilette Venus women's razors had a band with a "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" promotion - think you have to write and tell them why you didn't like their razor to get a refund.

[Mancunian]

Missed the mention of the LISTERINE 6 DAY OFFER but they sure are plugging it now everywhere.... see special packs for details. They have a web site bit not much on it: www.listerinechallenge.com.

Just posted my OLAY REGENERIST claim off today... need the £19.50 back I can tell you and my wife looks no younger! ;)

Years ago my late husband tried to get some new razor blades from Gillette,he was a poorly paid erk in the RAF so he wrote saying how great their blades were and how one blade had lasted him 3 months .They sent him one blade by return and said have another three months supply.

I believe the Actives along are about 70 or 80p so an added bonus.

I have just done a quick reccy at TESCO in Wimborne.

Using Silverlady's numbers from the other TRY ME FREE posting ...

3. Sunnybisk - store had item but no promotional packs (did not note price)

4. Nestle Sveltese Yoghurt - store had product but no promotional packs (1.39)

6. Flash Orange Degreaser - store had this two weeks ago, I claimed money and banked cheque earlier today (1.79)

7. Thatchers Cider - store was out of product so could not check if they had promotional pack (1.29)

8. Kalibur Alcohol Free - store had product but no promotional packs (2.45)

11. Solo Low Sodium SEA Salt - store had product, so might buy this next week and apply for refund. (1.69)

14 Tetley Tea Plus - store had product but no promotional pack (0.79)

21. Youngs Frozen Cod Fillets - store only had haddock and no sign of the promotional offer (3.99)

26. Eisberg Alcohol Free Wine - store had product with promotional label - bought a bottle and am about to send of (signed) appication form (2.79)

34. Discovery Instant Marinade - could not find this in store although they plenty of other items in the Discovery range.

[silverlady]

Hi David
Sorry you did not find all the TMF offers you were looking for.
I find that although the offer is valid sometimes for several weeks or even months the promotional packs are only in the shops for a very short space of time.
Also, I find the larger busy stores seem to have the promotional packs before smaller quieter stores.
As you can see from my original post I found Sunnybisk etc back in January.
I just watch out for the offers and buy as soon as I see them.Not forgetting to get separate till receipts for each offer.
Good luck

[silverlady]

I sent one application off for this and have received my second refund cheque today, i'm still not sure if it was worth it ;D

[gritts]

I got my application and receipt back from Mr Muscle Multi Task Cleaner with no cashback cheque as I had only written 14 words about the product instead on the required 15.


Grrrrrr. I added a word and sent it back. It cost them a first class stamp to tell me this (and it cost me another stamp to resend it , grrrrrrrrrrr).

[moobox]

I got my application and receipt back from Mr Muscle Multi Task Cleaner with no cashback cheque as I had only written 14 words about the product instead on the required 15.





I'm always amazed these large companies want to be in danger of souring their customer relations with such pettiness. I hope you gave them a well-chosen word!
;D

[gritts]

Hi moobox,

I added the word 'stains'. Which I thought summed my opinion of their pettiness towards their customer service.

The lesson is to follow the terms and conditions to the word. 'Stains' in this example.

I haven't had my refund from Rachel's Yoghurt. They haven't replied to my attempts to contact them about this either. I used to eat their yoghurt regularly but I am boycotting it until they pay up.

[Crana]

I had my receipts back for the Sveltesse yoghurt, the Swedish Glace and the Tetley plus :)

haven't sent off my venus razor yet i am still using it :)

I thought I'd found a new try me free that hasn't been mentioned (I've been scouring the shelves every time I shop!)

Kronenborg 1664 Premier Cru premium lager 500ml bottle found in Asda today at £1.99.

It wasn't until I got it home though that I realised this one is not exactly a try me free. You send in till receipt, neck label and name and address and you don't get your money back instead you get a voucher for another bottle? Still worth a try I suppose.

You also get entered in a draw for a holiday in Paris.

Good luck!

Found these today, and the TMF was also on the green beans. It's a pity they don't have a freepost address because they only refund the sae cost. This may sound picky, but the product only cost 49p and it costs 20p to apply!

[Andrea]

Found by someone on another forum.

There's a Swiss Delice chocolate bar in the sweet section at Tesco with a Try Me Free sticker on.

You have to give your opinion about the chocolate on a piece of paper (minimum of 15 words). Send it with your till receipt with the choc bar circled to the address on the back of the sticker. The cheque will cover the stamp and the pack price and will be sent within 28 days.

:)

SVeltesse Yoghurt try me free - are there special packs to buy or is there just an address to send off to. I bought bogof in Safeway but not mention of try me free??

[sarahllord]

Sveltesse was a case of sending your receipt to an address on the box - it took ages but I did eventually get my money back! (This could have changed now of course).

[gritts]

Received the cash back for Discovery Instant Marinade this morning. It was very quick and they send out postal orders. :)

This may already have been posted, but Another try me free is the soya icecream, Swedish Glace. My Mother-in-law gets it from Waitrose, but you can get it in Tesco too.

Kronenborg 1664 Premier Cru premium lager 500ml bottle found in Asda today at £1.99.

It wasn't until I got it home though that I realised this one is not exactly a try me free. You send in till receipt, neck label !and name and address and you don't get your money back instead you get a voucher for another bottle? Still worth a try I suppose.

You also get entered in a draw for a holiday in Paris.
And the good news is, there is no limit on the number of times you can claim!

I noticed in the T&Cs on the paper collar that there was no mention of a limit of one per household, or even per individual. So I phoned the promoter, Scottish Courage (0131 528 1000) today and they confirmed that you can claim the voucher and enter the competition as many times as you like. (Or as many times as you can find a bottle with the promotional collar, as you do need this with your receipt.)

And it can be Try Me Free, if you take your voucher to Asda or another store that accepts vouchers without you having to buy the product.

Hoorah!

Having said that, I haven't tried mine yet. I might hate it. Still, a free beer is a free beer, (less the cost of your stamp, of course).

[soolin]

Re the Kronenborg. I sent my voucher and receipt of almost a month ago now and haven't heard a thing :-(

Soo

[Marigold123]

I think it's the usual 28 days thing. !If they've had a big response I guess it could be longer. !Hang in there. !I'll cross my fingers mine don't take that long. !I sent them off today.

I've started a list, stating what date I sent off for which refund. !That way I can keep a track of anything that needs chasing up. !Pity I didn't think to note down how long each one is supposed to take, though! !::)

[mhawkshaw]

I sent one application off for this and have received my second refund cheque today, i'm still not sure if it was worth it ;D


Well, I still haven't received my refund for the Eisberg Non Alcoholic Chardonnay. If it was over not signing it (it certainly wasn't stated clearly) then I don't understand them from a PR point of view. Even if I had of liked the stuff, I certainly wouldn't buy it again now as they won't honour their offers! >:(

[Marigold123]

If you feel it's taking longer than expected, I'd suggest you get in touch with them, and ask if there's a problem with your application. It might just help to nudge them in the right direction.

(Tia Maria x Baileys sort of stuff in the blue bottle.)

Small box with 2 x miniatures of Tia Lusso, for 99p - ALSO CONTAINING a voucher for £1.00 off a full sized bottle of same.

Found these in Asda, Croydon (Beddington really). Grabbed all I could see, (25 in all), but sadly they haven't re-stocked. They must only have had a limited supply, or perhaps I caught the tail end of the offer.

Spent half the vouchers in Asda already, will spend the rest soon. Result - 50 free miniatures of Tia Lusso to give at Christmas, drink, pass around, etc. (Oh, plus a profit of 25p!) 8)

Vouchers expire on 31/08/04 - if you can find any more of them, that is.
I've put this in the Grab it While you Can section, because it is likely to disappear very quickly - if it hasn't already gone.

1001 No Vac carpet freshener - expires 31.12.04

I'm sure I saw this on this thread, but I now can't find it, and couldn't find it using the Search facility either. Has someone removed it?

It is certainly in my Asda, with a sticky label on the cap, which peels off easily and opens out into the claim form and offer details. You need to provide a till receipt, and complete the form with a statement about why you were satisfied or dissatisfied with No Vac. (Note: it doesn't say you can only claim if you don't like it. They just want to know what you thought.)

The instructions say you need to enclose a 15 word statement. (15 words exactly?!) But when you turn over the form, there is a space for you to write your reasons, and it says,

"Please state why you were satisfied or dissatisfied with 1001 No Vac in no more than 15 words."

ALSO

1001 Spot Shot
"Dissolves Stains Instantly! Without Scrubbing"

Same offer details as the No Vac. Also in Asda.

[jo_b]

Don't worry, Marigld123, you're not seeing things. I spotted the original posting as well and it has disappeared! :o

Will keep my eyes out for these vac offers. Am off to Wilko's later so will post if I manage to find it in there. Thanks!

Nope, don't see anything difficult about that. Enclose packaging, (to make sure you didn't take it back for a refund - as if!) till receipt, (standard), and application form. No problem. Cat or dog, not both, expected. Reasonable length of offer - good, one per household, (standard, - but we all have relatives, or at least long-suffering friends, right?) ;)

Thanks Vanoonoo, Good one!

Get your napkin tucked in Tiddles, I'm off to Asda. (She's not really called Tiddles, but hey! :D

[Marigold123]

Just been to the Purina website. !The application form for the TMF offer isn't available yet, so hold onto your purchases and till receipts, UNTIL you have been able to download the form and read it through, just in case you feel you can't meet the criteria for saying you're not satisfied. !(Tiddles, Rover, you'll just have to wait!)

It looks like you may have to do a certain amount of writing to justify your dissatisfaction with the product. !

[Sorry, my cat isn't healthier after eating your food, etc.
(i) She was in perfect health with glossy coat and a cold wet nose already,
(ii)My cat was sick and had diarrhea, etc.]

But we're all intelligent, creative people, aren't we? Follow the instructions to the letter and you'll be OK.

NB: A thought. !They may have taken steps to prevent you from downloading more than one form, (photocopied forms will not be accepted). !

If you think you may need to download more than one application form, for your friend to use, for example, then you may need to get that friend to register using their own name and address on a different computer. !(Or do it for them using a different PC, at work, for instance.) !Or you may be successful if you delete your cookies and re-register using your friend's details. !

They will probably use the site registration details to approve the applications when they come in, or you may find the forms are downloaded already containing your individual details given in the registration process. !It's quite a high-value offer, after all.

Thanks Marigold123 and Highland_Lass ;D ;D ;D I thought I'd ticked the box to be notified of replies but didn't get any. I thought this thread had been a bit quiet so thought I'd take a look! I've phoned them up now and (after being shuffled round departments) I'm waiting for a call back....

[Marigold123]

I think your reply selections get reset if you delete cookies for any reason on your PC. It happened to me after I had to make a website I had registered with think I hadn't. *Ahem*. ;)

[jo_b]

Savee, got the Glade Bathroom TMF today in Safeways. Am a bit confused by the wording on the label. Does it want you to send in an extra SAE for the cheque to be refunded?

Also found the 1001 carpet freshener TMF in Wilko's yesterday. Lovely stuff! Now my house smells wonderful.

Looks like it. they do not say how much they will refund. My guess is that they will only send the cheque for the cost of the product and make you pay for the postage!

[mhawkshaw]

I wondered about the wording, but it didn't ask you to include a "self addressed envelope" but a "stamped addressed envelope" (as the address to post to is not a FREEPOST one). Plus it asks you to write your name and address on a piece of paper and enclose it. Why would they need to do that if you've enclosed a self addressed envelope? ??? ???

[gritts]

The best tasting milk guaranteed......

Cravendale milk are confident that they have the best tasting milk and if you disagree they will refund you money.

See promotional packs / offer closes 01/10/04.

I saw this in an advert in a mag, I haven't seen the promo packs yet but when I do I can feel a try me free claim coming on :) ;D :D

More on the toilet duck fresh brush TMF posted by missbusy above.

Although the pack says you need to register a claim by phone first, and you will then be given an address to post off your claim, this is just a waste of time and not necessary.

There is no need to phone, (they don't take any details), and they just tell you to use the address on the package to return the proofs of purchase.

Alternatively, this address will do, and is freepost:

nice one :)

I was just wondering, in this case, as they are all from the same manufacturer and receipt and labels probably all have to be sent to the same place, do you think you could get away with buying all the products at once, and sending all the labels with a single receipt in the same envelope?

[Emmacw]

Got my very first TMF cheque today! ;D Mr Muscle cleaner.
Looking forward to finding those TMF chocolate bars. They will taste so sweet knowing they will be free! ;D ;D

[Pieman1972]

Our Tesco's didn't have the TMF on the Nestle bars (however they were 2 for £1.60!!!)

but right next to them was Lindt Brownie bars TMF.....Littlr round stickers on them

[stu_c]

I read in a Marketing magazine last week that a new Nestle TMF offer Is due to start on the 16th Aug 2004, similar to the offer at the top of this post. Will check again. :)

Edit --

Note that this has now appeared elsewhere on the site
check the following post:

Aero milk 125g available with the TMF in somerfields also on offer 2 for £1.50.

And I definately dont like it.
They have changed the shape of the pieces, the bubbles are bigger and it doesnt taste like it used to.
But what does.

[FieryBlondeScot]

;D got my first ever tmf refund today of 1.98 for the mr muscle multi task cleaner, which is very good by the way, it takes me ages now in tescos between rummaging through the marked down food, organising my vouchers, hunting down bogofs and tmf's. im sure ive been followed by plain clothes store detectives on occasion as i dilly dally around examing tins of peas and boxes of teabags! ;D

[creme_brulee]

Found the 1001 Hot Shot at Asda which I have been searching for - for ages! Also found the Cravendale tmf at Sainsburys (which we buy anyway-esp as Sainsbury feed their cows gm products so their milk is gm) so, am off filling out tmf forms tonight!

[spidystrider]

I would love to buy the Nestle chocolate bars, but can't find them. I've tried my local Tesco, Safeway and Spar, but no luck. Will try Woolworths, Somerfield and WH Smith tomorrow. Like steeev, I was also wonderong if you could buy all the bars at one time and send away one receipt or do you have to have individual receipts for each bar and post them back one at a time?

[Marigold123]

That's what I was wondering too. Does anyone have a bar of Aero to hand, so we can find out?

[flyer]

I can answer that one, cos i got some Aero on Saturday. According to the terms and conditions, you can apply for up to 11 diferent types on the one application, but the usual "one application per household" still applies. Whether you would find the 11 different types in one store is a different matter...

[dawnylou]

many thanks! :)

[flyer]

Dawnylou, you don't need to say anything for this offer. Just send your receipts with your name and address.

[dawnylou]

excellent thanks, will be on the lookout in my local asda in about 30 mins! lol

[spidystrider]

Still haven't found even one try me free bar. I've been to Safeway, Tesco, Spar, WH Smith and Woolworths. Has anyone in Scotland found a bar yet?

[dawnylou]

I just bought the 1001 No Vac.
Will use it tomorrow after work! can't wait!

Already filled in the form for my money back! lol. :)

[mhawkshaw]

Does anyone know if you have to send the try me free label with the Mr Muscle Multitask cleaner back to get your refund? I bought a bottle today, but it didn't have a TMF sticker on. ???

If not, and all I have to do is write 15 words about the product, then does anyone have the address I should send my receipt to? Cheers

[jo_b]

Sorry, you need to fill in the form attached to the bottle for the multitask TMF. :-/

While I'm on the subject, I picked up the Moo milk TMF in Safeways yesterday. You don't need a special pack for this offer but you do have to apply for your money back within 14 days of your purchase.

They also had the Cravendale moneyback offer. You need to send the promo label back for this one.

[dawnylou]

Well I posted off the 1001 No Vac TMF this morning....

Went shopping and found:
medium mint aero
Double choc bar
tetley calming teabags - got 2 :)
the bathroom glades - got 2 :)
and the toilet duck fresh brush! :)

as well as loads of other bargains! :D

[jo_b]

Be careful when buying multiple TMF's. Most will only allow one application per household.

[spidystrider]

Well my first venture into Try me free was a total failure. Finally found the Nestle chocolate bars. I bought a few small ones which are fine but forgot you needed a receipt for the large ones, so: 3x Double Cream, 5x Double Chocolate & 5x Double Berry, all on the same receipt. Thought I was really clever getting relations to let me use their address! Serves me right for being greedy but I had planned to share it with them. :-[

[bagby]

Glo care Colour Catchers £2.99 plus postage Try me free - found at N.E. Co-op. Im not quite sure what it does to your washing but hey its free

[creme_brulee]

Hi Dawnylou-check the tetley calmimg bags as the tmf offer on the ones I got expired on 31/7/4 !

still can't find any of the tmf choccy :'(

[morgan73]

Woo Hoo, first time I've found one that's not already on! ;D ;D ;D

Intuition Simply Lathers ladies razor. I found it in Boots at half price but it came up on the receipt at full price with the saving at the end of the receipt. Was £6.25, now £3.15. (And triple points.)

You need to wait for 4 weeks before sending it off though. Just send the handle.

[dawnylou]

Hi Dawnylou-check the tetley calmimg bags as the tmf offer on the ones I got expired on 31/7/4 !

still can't find any of the tmf choccy !:'(

I know it's shocking!

To be honest I'm still going to send it with the receipt that shows I only just bought them.


And for the choccie, try post offices! ;)

[jo_b]

Found today in Safeway - Quorn mince (frozen) TMF.

You need to send token from packet, answer some questions and send receipt for refund. This has to be sent WITHIN 14 DAYS OF PURCHASE! :o

Somebody else mentioned TMF Quorn sausages with the same conditions on a different thread but haven't spotted these yet.

They did have the Berry and the Double Choc Nestle bars in Safeway today. Yum. ;D

Will have a look out for that razor offer when I'm in Boots this afternoon. MY local one's only a small one so doubt they will have it. Got my money-back from the Venus offer this morning so need a new razor! ;)

[Emmacw]

Had to buy a second bottle of the 1001 Spot shot - I'll use the in-lawas addy to get my money back again;D ;D ;D

Have to say, I would pay for this without the TMF as it is absolutely brilliant. My teenage daughter had got foundation and eyeliner all over her carpet and it had been there for months. She went away yesterday and I took the opportunity to have a good clear out.

Half a can of 1001 Spot shot later and her carpet was as good as new - thoroughly recommend it! :D :D :D :D

[bagby]

Glo catchers - when I went to get a refund found expiry date December 2003 - so lost out there but Im still going to send it off and try my luck but you cant win em all.
