The first  was a Tropicana promotion number for a competition. Attempting to enter the number, he was informed that it  was Invalid, though the expiry date for the competition was weeks away and the product freshly bought in Sainsbury's.  

He sent an email to complain, but as expected, has heard nothing back. 

Last week the attraction was  a promotion code for Dorset Cereals bought at Waitrose 
This time the number was flatly rejected as a number repetition.
Again he wrote another email complaining, but again, as  expected, has heard nothing back.

Noticing today that Haagen Dazs was also on a promotion scenario, he went through a quite a complex business here which involved joining up,  agreeing to to take marketing mail from all the participators,  giving an email and a password and entering the four letter one number two letter  one number two letters code three times. Each time to be told to log in to enter a code. Each time he logged in, it t repeated the message to log in to enter.

BUT HAAGEN DAZS REPLIED!!!
Someone checked with the Development Team and t the websites are currently fully up and running. However, Coinks® websites rely on specific internet settings to help you to navigate around. It sounds like a 'cookie' relating to Coinks® in your internet browser may have become corrupt which would result in the website forgetting that you are logged in.

You'll need to clear your cookies. Actually Gaberlunzie would rather not loose his cookie links that are vital for some work feeds.  But he does agree his  browser and his particular computer both needs be brought up to date.

Coinks® websites are produced and tested within the latest versions of the most popular browsers; Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome. To up date your browser to its latest version, simply search for your browser in a search engine and it'll usually be the top result!

He does have to take his hat off to great food and drink corporations. They all have a great product lines. But he's really, really impressed by the response from Haagen Dazs and will continue to be a happy ice cream customer, though he's abandoning fruit juice and muesli and reverting to fresh fruit and porridge

He just can't help but wonder who ends up creaming those other prizes?
