You know the majority of people who use foodbanks aren't homeless, right?

This is a terrible argument and I think you're misunderstanding why Heinz are offering this. It's not charity and it's not out of the goodness of their hearts. They're a multi million pound corporation trying to expand their business further. They'll offer this free sample to a business in the hopes that they will want to use them as their condiment supplier. The loss they make is very deliberate and is purely to make more money going forward which is completely fine because, hey, that's business. You can still argue that it is morally wrong for people to take advantage but it is in no way comparable to defrauding a charity.

Not that I care for Heinz or anything but why do HUKD allow things like this to remain up when the OP is clearly encouraging people to break the T&C of the offer? We're all here for deals but I really don't think it should be allowing things like this.

Mind you, you're not going to get them anyway, look at term 10.

1. Entry is open to UK pub, bar and restaurant owners, aged 18 or over except employees and their families of H.J. Heinz Foods UK Ltd, and each of their group companies, their agents or anyone professionally connected with the promotion.

2. There are 1,500 Heinz Branded Filled Caddies to be given away, each with a retail value of £10. Each caddy will be supplied with 1 x 220g Heinz Classic Barbecue sauce, 1 x 220g Heinz [Seriously Good] Mayonnaise, 1 x 220g Heinz Yellow Mustard and 1 x 220g Heinz Sweet Chilli sauce.

3. The caddies will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis in relation to the order in which the Promoter receives the business entry details.

4. Each successful business will be able to claim a maximum of one caddy. The giveaway includes postage and packaging of the caddies to one address in the UK. The prize does not include the replenishment of lost/stolen or damaged items. There is no cash alternative.

5. To apply please text “Heinz” to 87085 with your business name and address OR go to http://www.heinzcaddysample.co.uk to fill in all required fields and submit your details. (Texts will be charged at your standard operator rates.)

6. The closing date for receipt of applications is 23:59 GMT on 31st August 2016 or when stock of caddies runs out. Please note that the offer is available whilst stocks last. This means that the closing date may change.

7. You will be contacted by email within 14 days of your entry by the Promoter if you are unsuccessful as a result of the caddies having been already allocated, the closing date has passed or for any other reason that results in an unsuccessful application.

8. If you are successful, a caddy will be posted to the address supplied with your application within 14 days of your successful application.

My conscience won't allow me to do this. It's just not right.

"Thankyou for your claim. We'll get your Heinz caddy sample to you as soon as possible"

Nice

Love your ginger cat!

Well I hope We get ours we love this at work :-)

I'm disgusted at John Kerry's anti Vietnam Vet stance so in this case I applaud any person who gets this freebee.

No other communication. Says expired now on post. It seems unlikely that it will be honoured but we shall wait and see!

I have just one thanks for your claim email..
have others received further communication than that?
I would love to receive one as my kid loves the ketchup, mayo and I am a fan of heinz mustard....
hope i receive mine.

Good point. We are happy to lie to get a freebie and as you say we would probably be disgusted if we were treated like that.

He does have a valid point. It is arguable that it is morally wrong to "lie" to get a freebie, Maybe not on the same scale as lying to a charity, but it is nonetheless a lie. I think his second example of putting a mars bars into your pocket at WHSmith is an apt comparative. (Personally whsmiths losses are smaller than Heinz here, as mars bars cost pennies to produce, here Heinz is producing a metal object and posting it out to 1500 people).

Just because it's easy to do (low risk of security guards and police getting involved) don't lower the gravity of the lie. It is still detrimental to a business and is costing them a small amount of money, that they set aside to generate them revenue in the long term.

Someone earlier replied "grow up" to this comment. Now Ask yourself this, would your stance change if this were your business and you set aside £50k of your money for a promotional campaign to get 150 businesses to sign up to your products exclusively. Then 1500 of your samples were taken by people 'claiming' to be businesses? How would you react?

Are you homeless though?:confused:

So defrauding a business is ok, but defrauding a charity isn't? Still fraud isn't it? Your post clearly states, as does the T&C that this is an offer for businesses. The OP has clearly suggested a devious way of circumnavigating these terms & conditions. HUKD posts this up as a deal, fair enough as it could be seen as a way for a food business owners to snap up a freebie. But the contents of the OP's post (ie the bits suggesting users to lie on the form ie "Make up a name") are what get me. That is pure fraud and IMHO should be removed from the post.

If people choose to make things up, that is not HUKD's problem or mine. But promoting it openly is not good practice.

I'm not a pub or restaurant owner otherwise I would have it.

Nobody will get one as long as Heinz adhere to their own terms and conditions, which I imagine they will. Unless you actually do fit the criteria of course.

heat!!!!!!! hope we all get one :smiley:

just ordered one. waiting for email now

I've put an order in, so we'll see. Be nice if it comes :smiley:

Just ordered it, looking forward to get it

Thank you OP

cheers

There are 1,500 Heinz Branded Filled Caddies to be given away

gone .... gone

Yeah, good if we get it, but if not, it hasn't cost anything!

Thanx...Just ordered. :laughing:

Me neither. I'll leave it to Heinz to check who they're giving free stuff too.

Probably not. Do you really think just because they sent you an automated email that you are likely to get one? C'mon!

I've done it but those people 'eagerly waiting' are deluding themselves. Pleasant surprise if it arrives.

Surprising that anyone can be bothered to do a little cheating to get this.

Time will tell. I don't see a problem with claiming. Every one deserves a treat occasionally and there are precious few of them around these days.

Thank you too

I just put yes as if it was asking me if I was one???

Nice find op, thanks for sharing

Good one! It's worth it for the caddy alone and just in time for BBQ season

Heat added, thanks

maybe not,
'Hi ,

Thank you for your claim. We’ll get your Heinz Caddy Sample to you as soon as possible.

Heinz Heroes
'
That was the email, it specifically says 'claim'. Seems like an automated email for everyone, and applications could still be rejected if they look for evidence.

Totally dishonest to defraud by lying about being a company. Leave for genuine companies to get.

Thanks op just had confirmation email through

Foodbanks are not just for the homeless they are for the low paid My wife and I had the misfortune to use this amenity to our shame we would rather starve than go through that again don't get me wrong the people who run them are saints and help in other ways too.

So are you saying that even though we are told one will be dispatched ASAP, we will not now get them?

I Just put N/A and they are sending me one.

brilliant, thanks OP

I just put in home

Got mine....well its on the way

I just did GAME as the distributor and they're sending me one. Brilliant :smiley:

Cheers OP, this'll add a bit of flavour to my foodbank food which I get because I say I am homeless

Worth a look!

The name you can rely on.

Thanks OP

I'm sad I chose such a boring business name, such a missed opportunity

My conscience won't allow me to do this. It's just not right.

Ok fair enough. Sharing is caring lol

Thanks i did it and got confirmation email

OOOh, saucy.....

Just noticed OP doesn’t have a single like. C’mon OP make a comment so we can give you some likes for this great deal

:sunglasses: Thanks

Only Heinz will do. Budgetbeater

Years ago a mate listed my flat as a night club on google as a joke, perfect for this deal LOL

Cheers OP! :smiley:

Thanks order mine

Web site seems to have gone down now, or it may be because i'm using a work pc.

Just filled in the form...had a confirmation e-mail...says.."Thank you for your claim. We’ll get your Heinz Caddy Sample to you as soon as possible."...so hopefully will get one :-)

Just ordered. We run a business (machinery!) , so hope we get a freebie!

Awesome. Hope it comes through. Thanks!

thanks op filled form out and just got confirmation email through, looks like they don't check the business out either :smiley: added

hehehe one for me family and one for the folks.

HOT HENIZ HEAT ADDED!

thanks ordered a couple.

Just ordered fingers crossed

sweet thanks OP ordered thru my work :sunglasses:

i did apply for one, but i doubt i was in time :disappointed: good find though OP!

There are 1,500 Heinz Branded Filled Caddies to be given away, each with a retail value of £10.

You scoundrels have probably bled them dry by now. However, I've applied. Thanks.

The food bank may ask for a proof of address!!

Received email confirmation just used Bookers as suppliers

Excellent. Not sure why "Three Salty Seamen" was the first business name that sprang to mind but whatever.

Great post. Cheers OP

What invalidates your point is making the assumption on members of this site's lifestyles.
You'd suspect quite a lot of members are tight up for cash (I was when I started using it) and are looking for a cheaper way to get by.

It's not your position to judge or shame people.

Just applied, fingers crossed, love freebies x

Nice one, perfect for bbq season!

Grow up.

Then change "homeless" to "low income". What difference does it make? Find a grammatical error if you're the type that believes these things invalidate the point.


So what's your threshold where it becomes okay? Fight for your right... to cheat a company out of four small condiments? Why not some ketchup packets as well, who knows how daring teenage life can get.

At any rate, I don't think you're following. My main objection is that petty fraud is *always* an option. Freebie: Hide a Mars Bar in your coat pocket at WHSmith. Well yes, obviously. Or a Bounty. Or Snickers. Submitting these things is unnecessary clutter. It's irritating to open a deal to find it's not a deal at all, just a con that could apply, broadly, to anything at any time.

Cool OP :sunglasses:

done cheers

You know the majority of people who use foodbanks aren't homeless, right?

​Yeh because pubs are on the same line as food banks joker

what do i put in at distributor

Cheers

Nice one! Fingers crossed on arrival :smile:
