How To How to Request Freebies Responsibly

By , About.com Guide

Getting free stuff is fun, but we need to avoid the temptation to request every free offer we see. Think of it as conserving freebies resources.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Varies

Here's How:

  1. Don't request every offer you see. Only request those that really interest you.
  2. Abide by the stated rules such as "one per household" to be fair to others who wish to avail themselves of the offer.
  3. If an offer is made specifically to you because of a special membership or as a reward and not generally publicized don't send the information to all your friends or post it on the Web.
  4. If a comment field is provided in the form remember to say thank you in your comments.

Tips:

  1. Remember that there are many free offers out there and more are appearing all the time. You don't need to feel you have to grab all of them.
  2. Keep in mind that when you request freebies or do anything on the Net you are interacting with real people, not a computer or faceless company.
  3. Keep an attitude of gratitude. Don't fall prey to the mind set that things are owed to you.
