Free activities when you buy a Kit Kat Easter egg

Hi,
Latest news in is that Nestle have agreed to pay Therapists for every treatment over the 3 free ones that they had agreed to do. This means that far more therapists will feel financially able to honour every voucher presented!
Hopefully this will also be the same for the activity vouchers too!

I dont buy nestle products after they let me down last year with there free activity vouchers on their cereals. our local baths pulled out of the promotion as they were not getting paid by nestle. i was left with 20 free swim vouchers but nowhere to use them locally. i did email and write nestle but they didnt reply. i feel cheated by them so would not buy their products. i am not surprised that they have dissappointed people with this egg promotion. nestle are untrustworthy cheats !

Hi,
Just called one of my local therapists for a pamper treatment and was told that the customers had the option to pay extra (about £10-£15) for a full treatments, instead of 15 minutes, 30 minutes. Has anyone had this experience? I would expect that if I book a pedicure, even if mini it will be a full pedicure, not "half" a pedicure, right?

I have 2 activity vouchers, but would prefer pamper ones, so in case anyone would like to swap, just PM me. -- ONLY ONE LEFT NOW

Hi,
The voucher entitles the holder to a 15-20 minute treatment. It would not be physically possible to fit a full pedicure into this time, so would therefore be a "file and polish".
I have been giving my clients the option to upgrade to a full treatment for £10 - which still works out to be half the price that it would normally be. So far everyone has been happy with this offer!

Hi,
I think that I should point out that Nestle are not covering the costs of the beauty treatments.
I can't speak for the activity vouchers, but as a Beauty Therapist who is taking part in offering the pampering treatments I can say that Nestle are relying on Therapists to offer a minimum of only 3 treatments each salon, free, in exchange for having our details on their website.
They sent letters to salons in January (quietest time for us) promising that loads of salons would be taking part, and all we had to do was to agree to give a minimum of 3 x 15 minute treatments per salon, and, in exchange, we would have their wonderful marketing and website to advertise our salons on.
I agreed to do this, as it is a great idea, but have now found myself to be the only Beauty Therapist to be offering treatments in my town!
I am doing more than three, and will fit in as many as financially possible (as I also have to make a living) between now and September.
I feel that Nestle have not thought this through properly and that this will reflect badly upon the Therapists who are taking part in this offer.

Tried to book some karting in Edinburgh and the company seem to be in a similar situation, excpept Nestle never even contacted them.

Seems to be badly organised - the company said they've been in touch 6 times with nestle and had no reply, the company is suggesting customers contact nestle direct and also watchdog!

Anyone in the edinburgh area book karting successfully?

Well I've finally managed to get booked on for my Zorbing!!! Turns out that the first company who were managing the bookings went under and the new one took over last Tuesday 25th and had a massive backlog of bookings to sort through. I am booked in for Sunday and can't wait!!

Guess you cant' expect everything for free....but you would at least expect to be able to get through to a phone number and not have to pay 3p a minute to wait on hold....would probably have worked out cheaper for me to pay for the Zorbing

Just got a cheque for ~£18 sent from Nestle. I complained early doors when I approached my local golf pro, who had been listed. and knew nothing about it. I phoned Nestle and got a phone call back on a Sunday from someone claiming to be a director and stating that they had basically got the whole thing wrong. The golf lessons were never meant to be golf lessons but were meant to be "golf tasters" which is something completely different. Long story short, I was told to go and book a lesson, which I did, £18 for 45 minutes, they sent the cheque.

Problem is I have 5 of these vouchers, bought when I thought the kids could use them as well. No idea what I'm going to do with them.

I bought an aero and a kitkat egg at the weekend, selling them off for £1 each in my local woolworths (Tamworth).

My boyfriend noticed them, i was a bit dubious thought - seems too good to be true & after reading these posts maybe they are! Will have a go & see what I can book though

They have added an adventure site just up the road from me in Cheddar. Need to find the egg left in the shops now!
