    Did anyone get given scratch cards to win free tickets for Elton John's day at British Summer Time. They were handing them out at the end of Hard Rock Calling in London last night and I got one and I was wondering about legitimacy of it or whether there were any catches:

    I was at Hard Rock Calling and on Sunday night while walking back to the station after Springsteen was given one for the Elton John gig too. I've had a look on-line and it seems genuine enough but being as I live up North I won't be able to make it.


    :heart:Thanks to all those lovely peeps who post comps! :heart:

    I check offer oasis everyday but never usually find any freebies that havent already been posted on here to be honest which is the same as most of the other freebie sites.

    I get the Magic email and find most already on MSE/Hotuk and loads are competitions anyway.


    Are people finding that they are not actually receiving freebies these days? Don't know if they are overwhelmed or what?

    (Colgate interdental never came, Ilumi curry late, Pork pie coupon late and others)

    Why is Factfinders website not working? I've been trying to get on there for the past week or so but the page won't show.

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Edit: Sorted, they have sent an e-mail, their address has changed.

    Has anyone suggested a Free Kindle Book thread to avoid the constant new thread every time there is a kindle offer?

    yes but it wouldnt work well unfortunately because people would have to trawl through pages of expired books to try and find which ones are still free.

    If they are posted seperately, they can easily be moved to the expired board when they become payable.

    Hope that makes sense.

  • Why does this forum (not the expired sub forum) still have freebies that expired (and were marked as expired) ages ago - including ones from all the way back in 2006:eek:

  • I'm not sure if i've exhausted all the options, but where have people got all of their baby freebies from?
    Seen people get baby gro's and all sorts!
    I've signed up for most of the baby clubs, emailed a few companies for samples, but getting a bit addicted to the idea of getting free bits for him!
    Any suggestions? xx
