Free contact lenses for one month (or two...)

Searched the forums and scanned the first few pages of the board so hope I'm not duplicating - very excited to be able to post what I think is a really good freebie!!! :T

Received an email from glassesdirect.co.uk today with an offer for a free month's supply of lenses (whatever your usual brand is, daily, monthly or continuous wear). All you have to do is complete an 8 question survey - link here. They don't take any payment details and if, like me, your prescription isn't up to date they can still process via their Dutch site (I know, it's naughty to use an out of date prescription but I wear them very rarely and I can see with them fine).

But here's the good bit. As I use different lenses in each eye (one is toric, one isn't) I was struggling to work out how to apply for half a month's supply of only one eye, so I took a bit of a punt and used my second email address to set up a second account, which enabled me to apply for a month's supply of each type, using the same prescription in both eyes for each type (i.e. 30 pairs of toric all using my right eye's prescription and 30 pairs of regular using the left eye) and so far it seems to have worked. I played it safe and used my maiden name on one of the accounts but the same address and phone number. A bit cheeky, I know, but it might just work...

Hope someone finds this helpful, I think it's a cracking offer!

Oh, bother! Sorry to get you all excited about that.

And here was me thinking I was finally repaying everyone I've taken offers from over the years...
