Free Mars triple choc for O2 customers

Toto

Hi, I've just had a text offering me a free triple choc mars bar at the CO-OP. What do I do? show them my text message when I go in? or do I need to get a coupon from somewhere?

I've googled and found this info:

The Co-operative Group has partnered with Mars on a campaign using O2 Media’s location-based texting service, You Are Here, to offer customers a free Mars Triple chocolate bar.
Following the success of a trial earlier this year, in which The Co-operative gave away free bottles of Dr Pepper, the retailer is giving away free, limited-edition 52g Mars Triple chocolate bars to O2 customers within half a mile of around 2,800 Co-operative Food stores. The promotion runs from today until 5 October.
O2 customers who have opted in to the O2 More service will receive a text message offering them a free 52g bar at their nearest Co-operative store. To facilitate the scheme, virtual perimeters known as geofences have been set up around Co-operative Food stores. The service is triggered when a customer comes within the area bordered by one of the geofences, sending an MMS message with the offer and the address of their nearest store

I'd love to get this to work; I was IN a Co-Op food store today, with an iPhone with the app on it but never got any SMS offering me the chocolate.

You need to be registered for O2 More to receive the texts I think. Link here.

What is the difference between regular mars and this mars? I brought one yesterday and it seems like the same.

I think there's something up with their boundries. I got my text while sitting in my office at home a good mile away at least from the nearest co-op. My husband got one at the same time, only he was in Ohio (USA) at the time. I haven't been in to pick it up yet, I can bet the staff won't have a clue what I am on about.
