Free Bear Grylls Book with Persil (text message required)

Just had an email from Persil as they are offering a free book with any purchase of their products. By entering you are also getting put into a prize draw for a child (and one of their friends) to win an adventure day with Bear Grylls himself.


To enter, simply:
1. Buy any Persil product
2. Text PERSIL, plus the last 4 digits of the barcode to 57782 (I have the following codes courtesy of my laundrycupboard - 8167, 1308, 1894, 2098 - hope this is okay, I guess they are generic codes).
3. That's it; you're in the draw!
Plus, we'll text you back with a unique code, which you can use to order a FREE Bear Grylls adventure book!

Book is ordered via a web link. For full details and terms see https://www.persil.co.uk

Not sure if I've done this right, this is my first time sharing, though I am a long time lurker.

    Has anyone else sent a text and had a response code yet? I sent a text a few hours ago using the second four digit combination mentioned above but have had nothing back yet. Also do you think there should be a space between PERSIL and the code, as it doesn't say.
  • I tested it with PERSIL all in capitals followed by a space and then one of the four digit codes, the response text came back immediately. Hope you have had a response by now though but if not maybe try it with a space.

    I used the second code too and got no response- I'll try again with one of the others :p
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:
  • I used the first code (8167), but all four are from Persil boxes I have at home. Hope you are able to get a code back soon.

    I completed the form online for the free book but it wouldnt submit, page wouldnt budge.

    Sent an email to Persil they have replied asking me to phone them to discuss the problem as treating it as a complaint!

    All I want is a BG book

    :(

    Tried twice with two different codes. Got no reply from either, but just got this message "Sorry, but you have reached the limit for the maximum number of times you are allowed to enter the PERSIL Bear Grylls promotion each day. Best of luck though! What?!
