  • The radio they are 'giving away' - the Pure One Mi has an RRP of £34.99. I'm guessing you probably have to pay P&P. The Daily Mail is 50p so you aren't already a regular reader it seems hardly worth it.

    Yes, and you can get a Roberts Ecologic for £35 now, which has a built-in battery charger.

    DAB radio's have had their prices slashed in recent weeks so this offer is a bit pointless as it will probably cost you £30-35 to collect all SIXTY tokens!

    I would rather buy one for £10 in two months time when all the daily mail readers try to sell their freebie on ebay.

    This has got to be the worst 'freebie' ever.

    Seems like a nice deal until you read the smallprint. You are required to collect 60 tokens inorder to claim the radio.

    Daily Mail Price - 50p
    Number of "Tokens" required - 60
    Price of Radio - "34.99"

    Total saving - 4.99p Depending on wether you actually want the radio or are a regular reader of the Daily mail.

    The offer reads 20 tokens plus £26.70. Then there will also be a p&p charge of £6.70. it'll cost £33.40 plus the extra newspapers. seems a pretty pathetic offer to me...

    All I can say is it's certainly NOT my idea of FREE! wonder how many people have read the small print!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    two links 1)oh the irony http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/16/dab_promotion_fail/

    2) "Daily Mail free DAB radio, that's not so free
    Two schemes available, both will cost you more than just buying the radio"
