Not sure of the price of these in shops, but have found them online for £1.30. You need a receipt or invoice to qualify, so you could purchase them online.

Buy a promotional pack of 10 BiC® Cristal® Medium Black pens between 1st April and 31st December 2010 and keep your receipt or invoice .
Use all the ink in your BiC® Cristal® Medium so that theres none visible in the cartridge, and the pen can no longer write.
Send Bic your pen! It's got to be at least 30 days after the date of purchase, but by 31st January 2011. Make sure you include the receipt or invoice, the completed application and the empty BiC® Cristal® Medium black promotional pack pouch 10 packaging too.
Theyll send you a cheque for £10 for each pen within 28 days. Only one claim per address. You need to register with the site to download an application form.

Website is www.challengebic.co.uk/

Get scribbling! If you have a WH Smiths card they are offering £5 off when you spend £12 (received by email) on stationery so you could stock up with biros!

P.S I have not "nicked" this from Hotukdeals, I am Savvylady on there!

    Does that mean that if you use up all 10 pens, then as long as you send them all in together you will get £100, but then you can't claim again, or is it only one pen per adddress???

    Just checked the terms and conditions and it states
    1. Only one claim per household allowed. No third party claims will be accepted.
    2. Only one claim per office allowed however up to 10 pens can be submitted at one time.
    Also this

    Providing the guidelines above are met, we’ll send you a cheque for £10 for each pen within 28 days. Only one claim per address.

    So not sure if only office claims can send 10 pens in. Perhaps Martin could seek clarification of this from Bic?

    I think it will be limited to one per person as the office one is paid via a cheque to the company and specifically says "send your pens" whereas the individual says "send your pen"
    ...even so a good deal

    ...have you seen the drawing video on the BIC site by James Mylne...it's amazing...and a bit worrying that there's so much ink in the pen!!

    Wow, cheers for this! It's exam period so if I stick to the same pen when I keep copying and condensing my notes it'll be an easy tenner! Thanks.

    I should buy a pack for my teenage son who regularly manages to work a pen or two into the washing machine- that'll help to get it emptied that bit sooner! :D

    This statemnet from the T&C' ""BIC reserves the right to amend or cancel the terms of this offer without notice." is good enough reason to not bother.This is the kind of thread that stays at the top of the forum for ages,& BIC arnt going to be able to honur this ,Self bankrupcy

    I don't think it'll be very easy at all. I'm always losing pens and I don't recall EVER having a biro thats run out of ink - dried up maybe, but not run out. Good luck all you takers, I'll stick to my value range biros as I know I haven't a hope with this one!
