Free Winnie The Pooh Book - Grolier

I received a preschool family 2006 chequebook from my daughters nursery this week and it has loads of great money off and free offers. One of them is to claim a free Winnie The Pooh book.

You need to call 0870 607 7017 (charged at the national rate - sorry not 100% free) and quote reference CGZ. You don't have to sign up to any offers or anything. I just called and ordered mine and was asked whether I would like to stay updated on future offers so you can politely decline if you like.

Just having a rifle through the little chequebook to see if there are any other relevant freebies to share with my fellow MSE's and will keep you posted!:j

    Thanks!

    What's the book called? Is it the same one you get for free on the Grolier Pooh book club trial?
  • A BIG WARNING ABOUT THIS COMPANY!!!!

    Check the small print. As well as the free book they will also want to send on a regular basis other books for your approval. Once you start this it can be very difficult to stop them.

    I had threatening phone calls as they said I never sent them back (and you have to pay the postage). Lot and lots of people I know have had problems with Grolier and their so called free offers.

    DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT EVER TOUCH GROLIER WITH A BARGEPOLE!!!

    They basically run a form of legalised extortion. Before you know it you will have run up a massive debt with them and will receive a seemingly unstoppable deluge of books you didn't order but will have to pay for!!!

    AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!
