    I answered an email for Gevalia coffee where you could get two free mugs and a stainless steel tall air thermos (hot or cold), and 2 pints of whole beans to try. You all know the Dogman loves gimmicks, rewards, and invitations (other than any invitation to the White House - arooooo!).

    The site is wwww.gevalia.com

    I HAD used a Gevalia ad about a year ago - to get their KRUPS coffee maker.

    Today, I got home and saw a large box from Gevalia - I opened it and took out the stainless steel termos, two mugs, and coffee - and saw they had charged the cost of $10.00 total to AMEX.
    Everything was in fine condition and both the mugs and the air thermos are NICE.

    SUSPENSE.....GULP.....

    I then opened the mail, and there was a letter from Gevalia. They were SORRY but their records clearly revealed that my address had received a "prize" in the past, and another was not forthcoming. I was stunned! Declined by Gevalia coffee accounting!

    I nearly weeped as I put the packaging from the new stuff into the trash - aaaaarrrrrffff!

    I will be enjoying the fresh roast coffee in the am, served in my new mug. Who knows - I may use the new air thermos to keep the coffee hot! Arooooo!

    these paws refresh - dogman

    So now you feel compelled to send the mugs and thermos back, right?

    Hey, I just got an email offer for the coffee pot free, if I buy two - 1/2 lb. bags.

    The coffee is excellent .....

    Ground the beans, brewed the coffee with cold water, and poured it into a Gevalia mug.

    emmmmmmm...aaaarrrrffffffffff.

    Andrew, I never would return a product that I have used first....this holds true from a suit to a coffee mug and thermos - or even a TV for that matter, LOL!

    waking up now - dogman

    Well Dogman, I personally think you should write Gevalia and let them know that Swiss Colony gave you a pre-approved $300 limit plus a discount on the Merry Christ-mouse. The least Gevalia can do is give you two coffee mugs.

    Hey Curiouser.....

    good memory - just think in another 9 months or so we'll see if the Swiss Colony raised my Christ-mouse
    limit....

    hope you are great - best regards - dogman
