[Boosterman]

I was glad to win something out of many orders I placed during this black friday giveaway. Thanks @Bulk Reef Supply !

So I ordered 2 things one of which I had to return because I recieved a duplicate from my secret Santa, that gift also had a bonus attached. I asked if I needed to return the gift that came with item I had to return as I was willing to do so and they said no. I am never one to brag and I have never recieved anything from them in the past. The fact that they even do this is a genius marketing plan and has happened every year. I guess I don't understand what all the whining is about. If you don't like the way they do things then don't play. I never expect to win anything and honestly would have been happy with the 10$ coupon. I guess I am just lucky for being positive and thankful that I have the ability and means to participate in such a wonderful hobby.

Me too (unless I'm still expecting a prize to arrive).

I'm not surprised as a couple of my orders had the coupon just inside the top flap with nothing holding it in.

So I am right in saying that you got a free gift on a order that you returned, whilst others got nothing, and you can't understand what the whining is about?

Again I will say, I am not upset about not winning, I am annoyed at the debacle in which this sweepstake was run. I don't like the way they do things, hence why I am not playing any more.

My final post on this subject (but I will continue to follow it up offline).

I did email BRS about my missing coupon card but did not receive a response.

Now this is going to sound like a whinge and I’m not losing sleep over this, but I have just received an order that did have a gift in it. However, it was a relatively low value gift that is of little use to me (a screen top feeding cover). This would be fine except that these gifts were given out on a day that I didn’t place an order, which presumably means that I wasn’t eligible for the ‘gift’ that I was ordering to be considered for. Also, as they remove the gift cards from the box, I’m now left with a low value gift that I can’t use, versus a $10 coupon card that I could use!!

First world problems for sure, but proof to me that this gimmick is just that.

HEY. There are dehydrated reefers in Africa that would be THANKFUL for a screen top feeding cover that they could not use.

Ok...my mom's tirade about eating my succotash when I was younger doesnt quite work for reefing.

Just tried to use the coupons before tonight's expiry date.

4 of the 5 cards that I had were invalid so I've lost $40. :mad: Unfortunately it has got to the stage with BRS that I'm not surprised.

I threw mine out yesterday. I thought it expired today but it turns out it expired in November.

What items were you trying to buy?

There’s all sorts of problems with the site tonight. Some of the items I was trying to buy might have been MAP restricted (which in itself is a joke) but some weren’t (e.g. BRS additives). They seem to have started working on their own now so I have managed to use them on stuff I didn’t really want or need.
