Samples for new members only

I don't understand why new members get all the free samples. What about members who have backed Betty Crocker for a long time? Why not post members only samples , say, here in the message boards? I see "free samples" in all those freebie boards and I can't get any of them since I'm already a member. I would like to be able to try new things withput having to buy a large size that I might not like...Thanks.

Thank you so much for your comments EJP22. I have passed them along. Thank you again...

I agree 100% I am always looking for new things to feed my crowd and would LOVE samples.

I agree that although it's nice to award new members with samples, it is the current membership that supports the website, and who better to reward than your supporters? And here's one for your to reflect on; some either new members and/or old members may not have a printer, or may have run out of ink at an inopportune time, or for some unknown reason may not be able to print the coupons. . . is there some way we could have them mailed to us instead?


And when you say samples for new members, areyou merely talking coupons?  I sure missed out on mine when I signed up, but it'sok because I really do use the website andhave gotten my share's worth in recipes and cooking information, and I just appreciate being able to have a recipe box on-line that doesn't clutter my counter-top! So whatever the debate ensues, I do want to say thanks for being out here!

Well, I guess I missed out to, I don't remember getting any free samples when I signed up!?! I did get the 2008 calendar and am loooking forward to this yers, when are we going to be able to sign up for the 2009 calendar or will we get it because we got one last year? I can't print either, so if you have to peint it from the site, I'am out of luck,:-(. I do love this site and enjoy reading all of the post! Keep uo the good workB.C.

I sadly, have to agree with your comment. Some member's only samples would be great too.

Samples?   You mean that us "newbee's" get "free samples?"

11/18/2008 9:17 PM

I just signed up. How can I get free samples and the calendar?

11/27/2008 7:56 AM

I agree with you & the other people . I don't remember getting any free samples or a calander . Also I can't get coupons the stores around here don't accept them. I just compleated a survey on this site saying I liked everything about this site sure wish I could go back & change that. I hope who ever is in charge will change the policy. thank you

Good Job EJP22!  I've been frustrated by the new members only getting for years.  Thanks for speaking up!

11/27/2008 8:27 PM

I also agree.  I like the sites many helps, however, it would be nice to receive perks of some sort.  I have not received reward or sample.  I was supposed to get a free sample of potatoes which I never received.  I told a friend of mine about this site, she signed up, and she received the potatoes.  So I don't know it must be hit or miss.  She was just one of the lucky few.

I HAD TO REQUEST MY FREE SAMPLE OF POTATOES THREE TIMES...FINALLY GOT THEM


OTHER THEN THAT I DO LIKE THE PRINTABLE COUPONS, YET ONLY A FEW STORES ACCEPT


COUPONS THAT ARE PRINTED

I agree with you 100% on members receiving free samples. It would show members that "Betty" values their support and therefore create good will with the consumers that stand by them on an ongoing basis. It is also a good way to entice new members to receive the newsletter. Unfortunately, when I signed up for the newsletter I too was offered a sample, which I have yet to receive!!!?! So, perhaps "Betty" should take a lesson from Walmart and their position on samples! Just a thought. thanks, me

I am a new member and I did not get any samples. How do you go about getting samples?


How is every one on this nice cold snowy night.I agree with the Old members they should get something for being so faithfull to Betty Crocker . I do not know much about  what goes on here. I am from West Virginia I love to cook and try out new recipes.

My children are  pickie eaters  they will not eat everything  I cook

I'm a new member and not getting any free anything!

2/5/2009 7:32 AM

I agree 100%!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Smile It all just depends. Not all free things are given to just new members. I just did a quick mention of it here (where you can still order your Betty Crocker 2009 Calender with recipes!) Heh, I love to talk about free things... like the latest Betty Crocker iPhone App!

If things are being given away for free to exsiting members- I hope to be talking about it here on the boards.

I for one, am grateful to for everyone and their "eletronic footprint" this site! I read your reviews- and I look forward to your chatter in the community.

Sincerely, Cate

3/12/2009 8:32 PM

I'm A new member i want to get some samples
