I received this awesome email from reader Rachel Gibson! She was able to score a ton of coupons for free or discounted stuff simply by emailing companies and letting them know what she thought about their products! I was AMAZED at the awesome response she got so I had to share! Hopefully some of you other readers can have the same outcome!
Rachel – “My advice is to be honest with them. If you like their product, tell them! If you do not like it, tell them, but try to be nice about it. Keep it short and sweet but make sure you get your point across. Make sure you fill out the address field on ALL contact forms you fill out so they can mail coupons to you. And if they don’t mail coupons, don’t get discouraged! Good Luck!”

Here’s an example of what Rachel wrote for a product she liked:
“I recently purchased your Kellogg’s Krave cereal, chocolate flavor, and I just wanted to take the time to tell you that I really enjoyed it. I was somewhat skeptical at first because the packaging appealed to me as a “kids” cereal but after tasting for myself, I was very glad I did purchase it! In fact, I grab a box or two just about every time I go to the grocery store! Yum!! —– This is actually what I wrote to them and they sent me 2 coupons for any Kellogg’s brand product up to $5.00!!”

Here’s an example of what Rachel wrote for a product she DIS-liked:
“I recently purchased your All Mighty Pacs Free & Clear Laundry Detergent because I saw them on sale and wanted to try the new concept of mess free laundry packs. The price was awesome at less than $1.00 for a 10 load package but I wasn’t very impressed with the results. In fact, my daughter spilled a glass of milk and I used the “mighty pacs” to wash the towels I used to clean up the spill. After washing and drying the towels, they smelled like spoiled milk. Needless to say, I had to re-wash the towels with another detergent. My family has used ALL Laundry Detergent for some time now and while I trust your name, I probably won’t be purchasing the “mighty pacs” in the future. However, your ALL Small & Mighty Liquid Detergent is AWESOME! —– This was my actual email to them and they sent me a coupon for a Free ALL liquid or powder detergent up to $6.50!”

I contacted Entenmenns last night and I just received a call from them saying that they appreciated my email and that they were going to send out some coupons for me!(:
HelenaL says
@laura_ashleyyxo I did the same thing and just received them in the mail today. I didn’t get the coupon for the free Entenmenns product though… just the two $1.00 off ones. But hey, I am not complaining! I do love the cheese danishes.

Hey Cher wanted to give you an update on all the companies I’ve contaced. I have recieved several coupons, I have recieved (3) $1.00 off 2 jars of Vlasic Pickles, (2) .75 off any Welch’s products, (2) coupons for FREE Raid products up to $5.00, (1) coupon for a FREE bag of Ocean Spray Crasins, (1) $1.00 off any Downy product, (1) $1.00 of any 3 Duncan Hines products, (1) coupon for a FREE Secret product, and (2) $1.00 off any Plus White products, also Jonson and Johnson sent me an entire booklet of coupons for their products. I would say it was pretty successful! I gave them my honest opinions on their products and shared personal stories about how their products make an impact on my family’s life. I’m still awaiting word from other companies, thanks for the heads up about this.

Last fall I wrote Suncore Products in reguards to a new cookie product called, WhoNu? cookies. They are very nutritional and taste great. Like the chocolate chip or chocolate with vanilla creme. I wrote them once and received — two coupons for free boxes and three $1.00 off coupon for future purchases. I wrote them again one month later about how much I loved their cookies and they gave me two more free boxes of cookie coupons plus three more $1.00 off coupons. I can only find them at Kroger stores.I use to at Walmart also.

I got an email back from Tide!
Mariapaluch says
In their reply email, do they tell you they will send coupons or do you just get something in the mail?
BritnyFonseci says
@Mariapaluch
I am unsure i have the same question, several companies have sent thank yous by email, and only one stated that they would be sending a coupon.
BritnyFonseci says
I have gotten several emails back saying thank you for the feedback but only one stated that they will send a coupon… :/
sstevens0023 says

I contacted a couple companies listed above and one was Entenmann’s and I think I did it around 6-6:30 pm and at 7:18pm I got a call but was outside with my dog but I received a voicemail from someone saying that they appreciate my comments and that they will be sending coupons. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!
BritnyFonseci says
Which companies did you contact? I emailed some of them as well and only got one reply back so far…??
KaitlynLuyster says
@BritnyFonseci I have contacted so far Entenmann’s, Tide, All, Kelloggs, Coca-Cola, and Purina. But I have only received email thank you from them and none of the emails said anything about sending me coupons. But Entenmann’s did call me like an hour after I submitted my feedback saying that they will be sending me coupons.
