Possibly get FREE Seventh Generation Tampons and Pads & Other Goodies! Login or register, then click your dashboard and scroll down to look for the offer that says “New product trial opportunity!”. You may also have an offer for a FREE bottle of Seventh Generation detergent.
@fivetalents That sounds like a viable option.
We need a free Kindle master thread like on FW. So we don’t have FS clogged with all of the Kindle freebies, of which many are vanity press, or what fivetalents stated above.

Please PM me with any concerns or further discussion on this matter
Why??? I’m leaving the mod staff to intervene instead. Already alerted them. Decision is theirs, I’m done.

How about we keep the comments on topic, I think questions as to it being posted here early (True by the way) are better served through private messages
You brought that up here, not I. My point it that it is irrelevant, it should not have been brought up at all.
I would also suggest quoting other boards (mine was a reply to your reference to another board) also doesn’t usually serve this board. I know it was usually not tolerated at FW
I simply mentioned I saw it earlier on H4F prior to seeing it here. And then pointed out that the the freebie stated 100,000 & there is no choice. There was no “quoting of other boards”,did you see quotations marks or a direct quote from H4F? FW disallowed full mention of competing boards, acronyms were always allowed. You could say “SD”, you could not say S_______ D____s. I’ve use H4F for many years on FW, never had an issue with a mod.
Please PM me with any concerns or further discussion on this matter
How about you either agree that my interpretation (and pretty much that of H4F & multiple other freebie boards) is that the T&C states that giveway ends when all 100,000 valid entrants have been claimed (therefor “1st 100,000” is accurate and should be in title), or you don’t, in which case you need to contact a mod to move this to “Contests”, since if it’s not 1st 100,000, it’s a random giveaway that is in the wrong forum.
There isn’t anything else to discuss, it’s either “1st 100,000” which belongs in the the OP title, or the entire post belongs in Contests.
@tuskers The language is in the T&C: “This offer covers one (1) free .85oz of hello sweet mint or charcoal fluoride free toothpaste, including shipping costs. Approximate Retail Value: $0.50. This offer also covers eligibility to receive a free year’s supply (4 tubes) of 4.2oz of hello sweet mint or charcoal fluoride free toothpaste, including shipping costs. Approximate Retail Value: $12.00. OFFER IS AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.”
They are giving away samples to everyone who signs up, the offer applies until supplies are gone, with up to 100,000. Everyone wins a sample, 25 random folks win a year’s supply. That’s why other forums are saying “1st 100,000”.
“Offer term: October 31, 2017@ 9am EST through November 31, 2017 @ 11:59am EST, or until 100k users have been confirmed as winners.”
This is pretty standard language, they have to verify the submissions that are legitimate. Many discard submissions from a bot, multiple submissions from the same source, incomplete submissions, etc. Once they have reached 100,000 legitimate entries, or 11/31/2017, whichever comes first, giveaway ends. It’s that language that makes this a FS post, If it was random picks of 100,000, out of all submissions, this would be the wrong forum, and it would belong in a sweeps/contest forum.
You made the comment, “H$F posted this at 4pm, 40 minutes after it was posted here.” What is the point? Why bring it up? There are 100’s of freebie boards, blogs. FB freebie groups, etc. Everybody posts at different times, and everybody posts stuff from other boards. Also, note that these same freebie places are in different time zones, so you can’t always go by time stamps. The people following the various boards don’t care if a competing board posted it 40 minutes earlier. It’s not important to post to state that you posted it first.
If people prefer a particular board, such as SD, or H4F, and one posts before the other, the people following one risk missing out if the board posts later than a competing one. Most know that, hence they follow more than one board. The comment comes across as smarmy, because I stated I signed up through H4F earlier. I visit H4F more than here, Michelle does this full time, and in most cases, her blog gets the earliest post. I don’t care that you allegedly posted it 40 minutes earlier, it circumvents from the point I was making.
If you don’t believe the T&C wording indicates 1st 100k gets the sample, then why is it in FS? You either agree that it does, and it belongs in the OP, or it’s a contest with 100k being randomly given away, and you posted in the wrong forum.
@tuskers Is there a posting war as to who posts it 1st? Why does it matter who posted 1st?
I don’t check PWF as often as I do H4F, so I did this when I saw it there. On FW, 1st 100,000 or 1st 100k would typically be in the title, the inability to choose which would be in the body of the post. It’s about making informed posts. The point being made was about having needed info in the posts, not about who posted 1st.
The info comes straight from the sign-up page, “we’re giving away 100,000 samples of our awesome fluoride free toothpastes”, is right at the top of the form. At the bottom it says, “*please note we cannot guarantee which of the two products you will receive.”
Did this when it was up on H4F, it says ‘1st 100,000’, and you don’t have a choice as to which they send.
@my4mainecoons I buy, I’m always buying. Many things I buy I find on amazon 1st, but the price is the same or cheaper at eBay. So eBay gets the purchase; with eBay Bucks, Cashback from BeFrugal and often cheaper, if not free, shipping - eBay is the better deal. I have received PayPal coupons in my account in the past.
No love for me from eBay, wonder what criteria they use to determine who to send these to?
I really need to sell a few things, eBay keeps reminding me I have $23 left from the credit I got as a result of a class action lawsuit. I’ve only sold one item, a NEST thermostat I got free, as I got another free, and don’t need two.
