    A new one for me this year - I got a free 200g box of Lindt Lindor milk chocolate for being a member of 'My Lindt Rewards'. I don't like them but my parents polished them off pretty quick.

    Has anyone else not received the birthday Swag Up email from Swagbucks? I've got it every year, but this year got nothing. I've tried contacting them, only to get an email that I've got to provide government issued ID before they can look into it!!?!

    I haven't got the Disney Store voucher this year - I'm sure I usually get it at the beginning of February.

    I e-mailed them and apparently I've unsubscribed from Shop Disney e-mails (which I don't remember doing) and so I didn't get the birthday voucher code - but they did say if I hadn't had my birthday yet I might still get the code.

    My birthday deals have started coming in- I've had a voucher for a free 4 pack of Morrisons "The Best" brownie type items in the app (can't eat dairy so the small boy has bonus holiday goodies). I didn't see this on the main birthday freebies MSE page

    I've got my discount email, but nowhere near the £100 now for PayPal, so doubt I'll use it :(

    I finally got the Disney Store 15 % off voucher (along with a 20 % off one which they would probably have sent off anyway) and the free Costa cake (I still can't use it because i have no interest in using the app). Other freebies include points in my Nintendo and Sega Shop accounts.

     That will probably get 3 freebie small bags of optimum dog food (400g) never remember getting them in the past so maybe because I paid for the 3 year discount plan
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • My husband and I were both surprised to see that we both got a free pad Thai from Rosa's Thai for our birthdays.
    They give you a generous 41 days to use it (meaning ours overlapped) and require no other spend, so all we paid was 3.45 for service charge. All you need to do is book the table in advance and make sure you have codes handy.

    They also harass you to spend it in case you're forgetful!

    I've received my reminder about my treat from Costa and an email from hotel chocolat. Anything else I should look out for?
