    Not sure if this is a common one:

    I emailed Nestle about a KitKat I had without any wafer inside.

    I got a cheque through the post for £2.50 after a request for my address via email, as well as an apology from Nestle.

    Suprisingly lots of people have had this problem.

    I did and they made the cheque out to the wrong name twice so I gave up.

    Emailed calpol asking for stockists of their ear thermometer and received £2 coupon.

    Complimented Nivea - £3 vouchers
    Complained to Ginsters - £6 high street vouchers ( genuine complaint!)
    Complained Warburtons - £3 coupons ( bread mouldy before use by date)

    I complained to Ginsters aswell....the last few pasties I've bought have had really large gristly pieces in them. Just received the £6 vouchers this morning which I wasn't expecting!

    I recently had a free make over done at Bobbi Brown and bought the lipstick the lady had used on me. However when I used it the next day the colour was hardly noticeable in broad daylight, as opposed to the store lights.

    I sent a pleasant email to Bobbi Brown HQ and got an email saying if they would send me another product to the same value so was happy with that. The lipstick cost £13 (it was a special treat!) so felt the need to write in.

    I have written a silly letter today asking Jelly Belly for some free samples!

    I am hoping that by playing on the company's good humour I will be able to get some freebies!

    I even wrote the boss a poem.

    I'll let you know how I get on.

    Has anyone had any success with McDonalds at all?

    I sent them a message complimenting them on their service at my local store and I was wondering whether I can expect any vouchers!!
