Acadia: I don't think anyone would disagree with what you said, also no one would expect Rendo to give away a voucher to every single member which incidentally is nearer 400,000 at the last count AFAIK.

I do think that some were misled by the promotion, offer whatever you want to call it by the simple fact it wasn't read properly including me I have to say [Oops] and of course that is entirely not Rendo's fault!

But I have to say there is also no reason that I can see to say Thanx to the merchants and I mean no disrespect here, there are many fine merchants here and I for one am exteremely grateful to them because I can't model "jack shit" to save my life and freebies are always welcome, but let's face it the better ones sell a lot of product and collectively we, the customer spend  shed loads of cash here and elsewhere on their products! I am very greatful for all the freebies all year but I already spend enough and more on merchants stuff and I don't feel I need to do extra at Christmas, there are other places I prefer to support like our local Childrens Hospice for example!

As for me, well I have given stuff for free too, maybe not terrific stuff but I know they've been used, do I expect thanx? No I don't, i do it because i want to and I bet if you asked, most of the merchants would say the same!

I mean no malice here, i think the whole thread has arisen due to confusion because either it wasn't written well or some of us didn't read it properly, who cares really, there are far worse things happening in the World!!!

Injustice will be avenged.
