Is there anyone who's got one yet?

Cos I haven't.

Me neither.

The cynic in me suggests there was never intention of sending them, it was merely a way of gleaning marketing info. :roll:

Yes, I also did not get one, and remember reading somewhere else about others that had also sent off for it, only like us to get nothing!

Well yes I agree that's what happens, so what sort planner/plonker does this, and suggests it to the management, as a good idea, we amongst many others have been scammed in a marketing operation which ends up giving the company a bad rep, which is not good P.R.

If they are going to be genuine with these give aways, then they should plan with many more of these items to give out, and earn a good rep.

They should be aware of the power of the web, after all they are using it as a marketing tool, and they must have experts who advise them at board meetings.

It's not hard to do, you know how many you're willing to give away, you know how many are being applied for, so you set the website to say "offer closed" when the two numbers match.
That way no one expects to recieve something they never will.
