    I Emailed Kraft regarding some Mikado biscuits i bought that had a couple of burnt ones in them. I didn't expect anything back but i got a really nice letter and 3 quid of vouchers. The biscuits only cost about 50p as they were on offer!

    I Also emailed Ubisoft (games company) to tell them how much i liked their games and they sent me a load of tshirts and promotional artwork books!! Did the same to nintendo and they sent me loads of little goodies too (lanyards, sweat bands, keyrings, etc)

    I haven't received any samples from letters or e-mails recently so I'm feeling a bit :( about that!

    However, I e-mailed Walkers crisps yesterday stating that I am hosting a children's birthday party and will need to buy loads of packets of crisps, so could they, you know, help me out with that a bit...

    I'm not really expecting any great joy, but we shall see....

    I am thinking of using the same trick with Coca Cola, although I can only find a postal address for them and I have no stamps left :rolleyes:.

    Any luck with walkers or coka cola?

    I complained to Catherdral City Cheese that I could not print the 50p off voucher form their website and please could the post me one. They sent me a voucher for a free 200g pack of cheese!! GOOD RESULT!

    I also complained to Bernard Mathews about a bloody taste in their Turkey Burgers! And they sent me a £3 voucher for their products! (used them in Tesco's and didn't even buy £3 worth of products!!)
