Nescafe 'pick me up' scheme

jtcowie

Hi, I have collected some Nescafe 'beans' thinking that I would redeem them for a 'gift' from the Nescafe scheme at https://www.nescafe-pickmeups.co.uk. However, having looked at the items available they either seem to be crap or have so many restrictions that they are useless. What really puzzles me is that Nescafe are encouraging and posting feedback on the items - most of which seems to be negative! What is this all about?! And can anyone recommend a good use for these beans?

I have had the -

Dressing gown - Really nice and worth it
Slipper and towel - OK
Kitchen set - apron etc
Pamper set - Not worth it
All 3 books - OK
Radio - OK, is in my laundry room.
memo board - Not worth it.

May be something else but cant remember. Some of these may be old gifts as they change them sometimes.

I've just this minute received 2 of the robes and they are brilliant quality, towelling inside and velour outside.
I would definitley recommend them.

I got all my gifts before they started charging P+P

Dressing gown Fantastic, I reckon these would sell for £40 easy in the shops
Slipper and towel Towels ok, the slippers are very thin
memo board - Not worth it.Binned the board, just kept the magnets that I use on the fridge

Plant the magic beans in the soil, and a Nescafé tree shall grow forth, and thou shall prosper

I got the bathrobe too just afer Xmas but had to pay for the P&P, it did feel really nice but loads of little white bits were falling out, did anyone else find this?

If you've got a Vue cinema near you, the 2 for 1 card might be good, lasts a year and that's my next one to save me beans for!

I redeemed mine for Vue cinema card. If you don't want anything, you could always sell them on ebay.

Yes ... the bathrobe worth having. Also the towels are fine but the slippers naf!

Best of all though is that its only 6 beans to get a free dvd rental from blockbuster with no p&p. Shame its limited to 3 vouchers per household .... but do what i done and use family, friends and neighbours addresses. Collected 36 free rental vouchers so far this way and they dont have an expiry date on them!
