    I wrote to Monster complimenting them on a motorbike display I saw at a music festival that they sponsored. THey replied saying they were sending me a bag of Monster goodies...it never came despite me giving them a nudge. :cry:

    I did get some vouchers today from Aunt Bessie's after emailing them to say thanks for making my Xmas dinner less stressful. Here's what I've had over the last few weeks (have posted some before I think):

    1 x £2 Richmond Sausages
    2 x £1 Kingsmill/Allinson Bread
    3 x £1 Quorn
    1 x £1 Volvic
    1 x Free tub of Ben & Jerry's
    1 x £1, 1 x £2 McCain's

    All just from sending them emails, I hardly ever put letters in the post now.

    Right...I'm off to the supermarket to spend my vouchers! :j

    Has anyone wrote to Red Bull and got anything back? I have wrote twice once in 2008 and the other in 09. Still not a word back.

    Anyone.......?

    I wrote to Red Bull probably about 6 months ago, they sent me 4 free cans :)
    I just said that i really like red bull and it helps me with essay deadlines as im a student.

    Hi, I just emailed them telling them how good their drink it is, and ask if the had any merchandise they could send me. The adverts they didn't air are quite good aswell.
    Good luck:beer:
  • I emailed Golden Wonder about some transform-a-snacks which tasted wierd, and weren't as crunchy as usual, it was like the bag had been opened.. anyway they sent me a postal order for £2
    Could do with winning something.. Haven't won anything since Aug '09!

    i emailed Haribo last year and complained about the tangfastics and i got 2 big bags of Haribo in the post? They may send something in the post aswell, some companies email, and when you think you havent got anything you recieve a surprise in the post :D

    but how do you recieve a 'surprize'? do you have to give your adress beforehand?
    :pWoooo...It's Freebie time...:p

    whenever i email a company i always include my name and address, that way they may send you something, if not, its just like writting a standard letter :)
    Good things come to those who wait!
