Vocal Point

I have been meaning to tell everyone about a program called Vocal Point. I wanted to sign up and see how it worked before I told everyone about it.

It is a great program. I regularly get free things and great coupons. I recently got one of the new Bounce Dryer Bars to try for free. They asked me to review it. It was super easy. You do not have to review items, but I try to review things occasionally. Today I got a sample of Kashi Cereal, a coupon for a free box, and several coupons for $1.50 off a box of cereal.

Sign up today to become a member. It may take a little while to receive your first surprise in the mail.

I received a $5 coupon off my next order of $5 or more for buying the Purex. I should have received a voucher for a free movie ticket for buying 3 Axe products.

I waited around while they tried to figure out why it did not print. They returned everything and rerung the order. It still did not print. There was a sign. They finally took my name and number and I was told they would call when they figure it out. It is Tuesday and I still haven't heard from them. I went back to the store today and all the signs are gone. I am not sure if I will get my free movie voucher or not.
