Originally posted by michh For the free Tums t-shirt - does anyone know if they have to be particular products? It says you need to send in UPC's from participating Tums products. I went out and bought two small rolls of Tums and was wondering if they would be adequate.

I'm pretty sure they have to be the large bottles that sell for around $3.99. I saw some at Sobeys yesterday with a sticker on them for a contest that's also on the site. So I just assumed those were the participating product. I never bought any and if anyone knows differently, please clue us all in.

I was just wondering if anyone who registered for this contest received an email on May 31st? I did register but didn't get an email so I don't know the captions. Today is the first deadline for entering pics. So I guess I've missed out on this one. I can't even find an email address to ask about this.

Help!! My friend is pregnant & I can't find the baby thread we had.
I was loking for the State Farm (I think) book that they were giving away for people who are pregnant. It was a pretty big book.
Anyone remember this??

Here is the link to the "Baby and Child" thread: http://www.goldfishlegs.net/bowl/sh...2554#post322554 It just scrolled off the page.

My understanding is that State Farm no longer gives out the baby book (or the wedding or retirement planners, either) It was probably far too costly since it was originally intended for their customers but ended up on every freebie board in North America with the codes.

You can sign ypur friend up for all sorts of other samples, though. The big baby food/diaper company freebies never go away.

Thanks so much!

Has anyone heard of the Bristol Group? Their 1-866 number has been on my phone 4 times in 2 days. Just wondering what they might want. Don't know if it might be a survey or some kind of solicitation. Just curious.

I was wondering how I can join Pinecone Research. My understanding it is by invite only during certain times on banners on certain websites. If this is the case can someone be kind enough to PM me when they are accepting applications. I see that they pay members for surveys and I would love to join.

Greetings All!

Wondering if anyone has any PIN #'s available for the Canada Dry Contest?

Thanks...

Are you talking about the "Living Well Contest"? PIN #'s are individual and can only be used once. If you don't want to make a purchase, to get PIN #'s see the rules -- you can snail mail for them, but requests must be received by June 25th. Hope that helps! Good Lulck!

Did you try calling the number to see if there what it says (sometimes when you call it says this is a call center...)

Hey all, I wanted to ask for your advice...

Twice in the last little while I won contests & the prize was not exactly what it should have been, should I mention it or keep quiet?
I'm happy to have won it's just that I think I should get what they advertised what I should get.

My Bacardi Breezer tent arrived today, I've already pitched it in the backyard, it's exactly like it was pictured BUT it is a 3 man tent NOT a 4 man like the conformation page stated.

The Witchcraft foot spa basket I won last month was SUPPOSED to have been worth $150 but the letter that accompanied the basket said that it was valued at $100.

What do you fishies think I should I do...if anything?

*I've had trouble with prizes before, in Oct 2005 I won an Anne Cole swimsuit from Essie & it NEVER arrived , I sent a few emails but no one got back to me & nothing ever happened...& a few books I was supposed to have won never arrived...

what i do if a prize is not exactly as posted in the rules. I do not come off miserable in any way..I approach with a nice manner..from a place of gratefulness for winning their contest and the prize and then mention it is NOT what was advertised and wondered how come this happened and if there was any way to get the correct one and or receive an extra supplement in lieu of..some companies will respond as they are generous..some do not..and I would after trying the contest person who notified you..if they are not responsive..ask to speak to someone higher above them..that usually works. Once when I was not getting a response from a marketing person..I went right up to the CEO of the company! nonetheless to say..I got that prize very quickly then! You should get what you won..it is fair..so you need to speak up for yourself..if it means several emails..several phone calls or going to someone else in the company if you get no satisfactory results..but do it in a nice way..people will deal with you the same..if you come off as bitchy ( sorry people )..then you might get ignored more..so there you go..i hope this helps!

It is so personal whether you choose to put your energy into following up, I too have been disappointed at times with either not getting prize (they blamed it on postoffice) or not at all what I expected or had so many restrictions contrary to rules. But I am glad I never bothered to followup, I now just pay more attention to who offers the contest and am much more selective in which ones I enter. That being said, I never got a cd last year from a magazine company win and gave up on them after a couple of emails to address the problem, and yet this year from same magazine won a wonderful trip and found them to be really efficient, flexible and helpful in arranging for the prize! I have also found quite often that companies will upgrade or extend prize if you don`t use part of the prize such as one of the persons not being able to go on trip. Once I couldn`t go on trip as quick as they wanted so contrary to rules saying trip would have to be forfeited they checked with their lawyers and issued a cheque for $10,000 although technically they could have given it to someone else, and i actually enjoyed the money tax free much better than any trip!
