    Sounds like yet another deceitful Mail offer then. Their offers appear to be as untrustworthy as the 'news' they present - but hopefully not as poisonous.

    You get a £5 chicken for 500 Mail points.

    Since 2000 Mail Points normally equals £5, it's not a bad deal. And remember, it is free.

    People who buy the paper anyway will benefit, or Waitrose card shoppers who would normally spend £10 on a weekend and get the MOS free

    Is there really any need for this in the opening post?

    "And of course M&S have all the trimmings to go with your chicken, from tender vegetables grown by farmers they know and trust, to deliciously rich gravy and British potatoes that make wonderfully golden, crispy roasties.

    That seems like a blatant advert for M&S to me:huh:
    You can get better vegetables far cheaper at your local farm shop or market.;)

    ....

    The OP is a straight copy and paste job from the Mail Rewards website. Of course, it's an advert for M&S! Why else do you think M&S have signed up to give away free chickens to MoS readers?

    P.S. And if there's "no need" for it in the OP, why quote the whole darned thing all over again in BOLD type? Do your work for the M&S marketing dept, or something?:)

    Such a blatant and outrageous breach it drove you to bump and post a second advert but this time emboldened!

    It doesn't really matter that I linked to it, because it had already been done.

    This is not the MoS though, so why has someone copied the advertising blurb in the OP when all we needed was the info about the chicken.
