I won $20 voucher for being one of the first to answer the T&C questions at work.
I did better than that years ago by winning a Nortons product from using PressF1 here.:rolleyes:

No I didn't call that a win that is why I put the :rolleyes: there although back then Symantic hadn't had much time to stuff it up.

1269594 2012-04-12 05:21:00 You guys do realise this is just clever marketing, right?
A shaver itself costs significantly less than the blades themselves, which is where they make most of their money from, free shavers = more who spend money on the blades...

Just like hownyou used to get a (and still probably do) a free printer from hp, dell, et al whenever you buy a computer... You're hooked on getting cartridges...

Sorry for being a killjoy cynic. :(

1269595 2012-04-12 05:46:00 My Current one is a schick, and yeah the blades are not exactly cheap compared to the actual shaver. Its looking a bit old and tattered through years of usage, so a new one was due anyway, it was " I'm gonna do it one day" type of things :) wainuitech (129)
1269596 2012-04-12 05:52:00 I got a packet of rocket seeds for the garden thru Yates on Facebook.

I did however signed up for those limited offers free $200 vouches or what not at DSE or asking me to like KFC to get a free voucher - which were all fakes and the KFC I cannot take it off my like list (!).

And here I thought they were trying to convert a Gillette man. :)

1269598 2012-04-12 06:16:00 I missed the days when you could take your old razor into the supermarket and get the latest model :)

The last deal they did that afaik was the Gilette Mach 3 or whatever. I had to buy my Mach Fusion :cry: and there's already been a few newer ones since that. I got hooked into Gilette from Form 6 when they gave us Gilette Sensor for free.
