    Who are the best companies to contact? I tried Walkers and didn't get anything free, I only seem to get freebies when I complaining, only genuine ones though!
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
  • The other day I went into McDonalds and there was a hair in the BigMac (Yuk.) so I complained via email, and got a nice email back saying they were sorry, etc, sorry sorry blah blah blah. And that was it... I did give my address, but they aren't sending me anything. Have I done anything wrong in the email?!
    Any tips?

    I like to think I'm quite good at complaining :D

    I got a free meal (for 4, I think) from Pizza Hut. We went to one of the two restaurants near us and the staff were too busy messing about behind the counter to even seat us so I wrote and got a letter back about how they were reviewing staff training in that branch, plus the voucher (which we used at the other branch!):beer:

    I also got a free night in TravelInn on two separate occasions, once the maid let herself in without knocking while I was still sleeping, and another time the towels were not washed properly. On the first occasion I complained to the duty manager and was refunded my money, the second time I got no joy from the girl at the desk so I wrote a polite letter and got a free night voucher.:T
