Reminder about freebies for companies etc

Options
Hi guys

Just a reminder to all my fellow freebie grabbers. I know it's easy to get carried away in the excitement, but try to remember only to apply for freebies you genuinely are entitled to.

If it asks for the name of your company then it's a good clue that it's only aimed at companies. If you'd still genuinely use an offer then great but if it doesn't apply to you then please don't or you could get into trouble.

Take care

Andrea :)

    May be we could bump it now and again.

    People tend not to go back to the guide once they have read it and some never think of looking at it all anyway. People may look at it if it's on here.

    May be someone could undertake to bump every month?

    Totally agree.
    The 'company' that offers samples might only be small - struggling to get
    genuine new customers. Best not to take advantage of them.

    if a bump is invisible is it allowed?!

    No:p It's in the guide to the freebies board now anyway:p
    :hello:
  • Thanks for looking out for the users of the site, and the site itself of course, Andrea.

    I also think this year people should resolve to only apply for freebies they're genuinely interested in (even though they're entitled) because getting a freebie for the sake of it may mean someone else who really wanted the item misses out. I mean when people order dog food when they have no pets, or nappies when they have no kids...come on!!
