Free stuff is awesome, and seeking out free items is part of the fun. Receiving it is the other Part. Many free offers have B2B restrictions, Please give the offers some thought before applying for them. If you don’t qualify, don’t request. Leave the freebie for someone that is eligible.Please Comment and leave your own tips, comments, or advice, The best advice is from someone with knowledge.

Please add:
Free Item where another purchase of some kind is required. (ie: Bath Body Works, FREE ITEM w/any purchase)
Free item that is subject to sales tax (where coupon or offer specifically notes sales tax is the responsibility of the customer) Some states do require that sales tax be paid on the selling price prior to coupon promo discount (New Jersey does for example)
Free Item based on prior purchase to earn free item: ie, Rewards Programs - Free 12 Pack of Coca-Cola with 10 cap codes. While the item is free, you have to spend a good deal oop to obtain the cap codes, thus it is not free w/o a purchase of some kind.
