I am wondering how many freebies we can get for being nice instead of complaining?

The idea is to write a nice thankyou letter for anything you have found really good recently, and see if they send you a 'thankyou' for thanking them.

For instance, a few years ago I wrote to Walkers crisps saying how much I enjoyed their fat free crisps. I got a nice letter back saying they were glad I enjoyed them, and a £5 voucher to buy some more!

I am going to start by mailing my local Tesco to say how helpfull and pleasant I find their staff. Even if I don't get anything back, hopefully it will boost staff moral.

Sorry if this has been done before, but trawled MSE and couldn't find anything similar.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?

I think its a great idea, I wrote a letter saying what a wonderful job and how helpful a girl in my local bank was when I had no joy from everyone else. She got £50 bonus and brought me a drink some weeks later when I saw her again in a local pub, so I did get a freebie and so did she for being nice :T

One time when I was working, a chap needed help - he wanted a games console, but didn't know where to start. I spent just over half an hour going through everything with him, talking about pros and cons, games etc. He was so happy he came back an hour later with a big box of chocolates. It really made my day

Not freebies to ourselves, but in some places, if you sing praises about a certain SA, they sometimes get bonuses. With GAME, if you had good service from one particular person, they get a £10 voucher for a bunch of shops in thier paycheck.

Thanks Very Much.

Unfortunatly i've severely rarely had customer service good enough to praise

I decided a couple of years ago that if I received good service from anything I would write to them about it and if I received bad service I would do the same. Unfortunately after doing both I have only had one letter saying thankyou from National Express from the letters of praise and quite a few vouchers and freebies for complaining.

I wrote to Virgin trains about some exceptional customer service (- I know, I was surprised myself.) I wasn't after anything, just wanted the people's bosses to know how good they were.

Virgin trains obviously aren't used to people being nice, because I got back a questionnaire on how my complaint had been handled, and was I satisfied with my compensation?

Count me in

I have only just recently sent a nice email to Virgin Media praising the technician that installed my second V+ box and what a nice job and friendly chap he was.

Yes Your Officially In! Too "The MSE'rs Lucky 777's"

Either, E-mail Or Letter. Try The Big Companies, Like Mars, Smith-Kleene-Beecham, Lever, If You Use A PRODUCT You Buy Regularly & You Like It Just Find 7 Of Your Favorite Items & Say You Like The Product & have Been Brand Loyal For X Years & Wonder If They Would Send You Something That Could Be Given, Raffled, Donated To A Organization Or Charity Local To You Or A National Charity.

Basically You Can Do As Much Or as Little As You Like.

I Think If You Think About We've All Been At Rock Bottom With Debts & All Different Reasons But All Still Have A Computer & Hopefully A Roof & Take Our Freebies & Saved Money From Martin's Web Site, So Why Not Give Just 7 Minutes To See What You Can Give Back.
