Recharge your Mobile and get free coupons

Freecharge.in is the latest and new service with which you can recharge your prepaid mobiles available across India and for doing the same you can avail gift coupons worth the same or similar amount from either the Barista Lavazza or McDonalds. This virtually means that you are getting the recharge for free, well almost free though. The coupon will be delivered to your address for a delivery charge of Rs. 10.

With their recharge option you can recharge almost all the prepaid mobile services available in India except for Airtel and Idea Cellular at the moment and the same will be activated soon, according to them. You can recharge online using any of the payment option like credit card, debit card, bank accounts, etc.

For the recharge of Rs. 10 to Rs. 50 you will get a free coupon worth Rs. 50 either Barista or McDonald's. For prepaid recharge worth Rs. 51 to Rs. 100 you will get coupons worth Rs. 100. Similarly for recharge worth Rs. 101 to Rs. 150 one can get coupons worth Rs. 150 and so on and you can choose either the Barista coupons worth Rs. 50 each or can choose both Barista and McDonald's worth the amount of recharge. But you will be charged a flat delivery charge of Rs. 10 per delivery of any number of coupons to your address.

The coupons are valid against a minimum purchase of Rs. 50 and above and hence this virtually means that you get to buy worth Rs. 50 and you get the same valued McDonald's product or coffee for free.

Visit Freecharge.in for more details about this offer. I heard that they are going to introduce more and new coupons as against the existing Barista and McDonald’s coupons. It is a worthy offer as anyway you are going to recharge your prepaid mobile elsewhere but here you get coupons for free. But in my opinion they should introduce more options in terms of coupons and those coupons should be full gift voucher rather than a discount coupon.

This offer was shared to me by Naman Sarawagi (a regular reader of Offers Galore) who is the product head of this service.

Get a Free Sample of Cif household cleaner

Hindustan Unilever owns the brand Cif, the household and domestic cleaner. It can be used to clean all your household and domestic products. Now they are giving a free sample of Cif to all in India, although not sure whether available in all states or not. The free sample of Cif is said to be worth Rs. 27 and you can just request for the same by sending an SMS.


You will need to SMS CIF to 575758 and they will immediately call you back to get your information to send the free sample to your place. It is a premium number and it cost you around Rs. 3 to send the SMS though.

I sent an SMS to the above number and got a confirmation SMS as well as got the call back instantly, almost within a minute that I sent it (I was surprised with such fast response!) They will call you back to get your name, age, profession, contact number, and address to deliver the same, which I gave and was told that I will be receiving the free sample within 7 to 10 days from the day they get the info from us. They will also be sending you free home cleaning tips, as per their confirmation SMS.

My personal opinion would be to choose only those which you feel really is a worthy one and not a fake or that comes with lots hidden conditions and/or not an offer at all. Just visit the store well before the weekend to avoid getting stuck in the crowd which is surely expected on this weekend starting this Friday, at all Big Bazaar stores.

Get a Free Photo Mug with 35 Photo Prints

Konica Color Lab (Online store) is currently running an offer where you will get a free photo mug with each of your order for 35 photo prints. This is part of their Thank You day celebration offer which actually falls on August 12, 2010. This offer is valid only if you order 35 photo prints via Konica Color Lab online and not valid at their Photo Stores situated across Chennai. This offer cannot be clubbed with any other existing offers. This Thank You offer from Konica is valid till August 12, 2010.

Each print costs you Rs. 3.99 at Konica Color Lab and hence the total cost for the 35 photo prints would be around Rs. 140 to 150 including tax but you will need to Rs. 25 as shipping cost if you reside outside of Chennai and wanted to get those prints delivered at your place. You don’t have to pay for the shipping charges if you opt to pick it up from your nearest Konica Color Labs in Chennai. Else this shipping charge includes even for those in Chennai. So the total costs for getting the prints comes to around Rs. 175 and you will get a free photo mug worth Rs. 350 and hence considering the pros and cons of this offer, this is indeed a worthy offer to try only if you are anyway going to get your photo prints.

If you have a whole lot of photos to be printed and lying on your computer idle you can use this opportunity to do so and gain from it by getting a free photo mug and get the photo prints for cheap as well. Also save on the shipping cost by picking it up directly from the nearest Konica Lab.

Get Free T-shirt from Shorty Capone

Shorty Capone a leading accessories brand which is originally from U.S. has entered India and is giving away free T-shirts for all those who visit their Facebook page and “Like” it and then send them an email with your name and address to receive their free promotional T-shirts delivered at their address. It seems they are giving it away for all those who do it and not looks like a contest though.

But try it at your own liking as I am not exactly sure whether this works or not but according to their Facebook page, they are still giving away free promotional T-shirts to all those who are liking their page and sending an email. I have tried it and mailed them today and waiting to receive the free T shirt myself and hence I cannot guarantee about its genuineness, just ask them directly about it at their Facebook page about it. I am just sharing it!

Just try this at your discretion, but as a trial and error basis you can try it to get free t-shirt from Shorty Capone. They have their stores at major Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, etc. though. They have an online store at shortycapone.com as well.

Just visit their Facebook page and then like it and send an email to contests@shortycapone.com with your personal details to receive the free t-shirt.

This offer was shared to me via email by Sudipta who is a regular reader of my blog. Thanks to him for sharing this offer.
