Free Samples

In the last couple of days I registered for about 35 different samples. I'll wait 6 or 8 weeks and see just how many I get and report. This might give us an idea if all the hassle is really worth it

...maybe you could tell us which ones? That might make your study more valuable to everyone.

I don't keep records of what I send for and what I receive; seems like too much record-keeping for me, but, I do know that I get free stuff in my mailbox at least a couple of times a week. I send off for practically everything I see on FT. The one thing I can think of that I haven't received, and it's been at least 4 months, is the luggage tag from Cutter & Buck.

I just joined and not about to keep records of this! But will let you know if I find it worthwhile.

Hopefully you use a SPAM e-mail address for everything that you register for; otherwise you will see a large increase in SPAM e-mail. Good luck.

Yes, I do.
I learned my lesson about this the hard way a long time ago.

Most are already listed here on SPAM by other posters, scattered around the board.

I received the Cutter & Buck luggage tag, but didn't receive the Travelocity one. The Cutter & Buck one was a tan color, IIRC.

So far I've received:
2 golf balls
1 pair Hanes panties
some "photographic" Post it Notes
1 Byways map

I know there are more, just can't remember them. I can likewise not remember what I've sent off for and not gotten. So I imagine this really is not much of a help to anyone.
