    I’m a member, but strangely it said I am not able to participate at this time – what is that?

    • Brandi H.

      I’m having the same problem.

    • Nicole

      Me too. “Sorry, you are not able to participate in the sweepstakes at this time”

      • mel

        In order to get the sample, you MUST go through your personal email link. If you read her post instead of clicking, it says to ck your inbox for the email.

  2. rn30032

    i’m a member got the email and clicked through it and still said I could not get it

  3. Vickie H

    Received Email, but when I tried to get it (received Sorry, you are not able to participate in the sweepstakes at this time)

    • vweber

      Vickie, Same with me. What is with these emails, and promos. Received the email clicked on the box and said not authorized. Another one weird.

  4. anna

    Worked for me through my email.

  5. macey

    ^^^Ditto. Oh well. They look yummy

  6. Becka

    before I even filled out the form it told me I wasn’t eligible but i’ve been a member for years

    • Becka

      It works through the email! Anna is right!

    • Erin

      I’ve been having a lot of trouble with links provided in blogs. For months I’ve had to use the emails . . . unfortunately, by the time I received them, they were often expired. Not today, though! Got through on this one first thing this morning!

    • Starla

      It worked through my own email that they sent me also. thanks Collin

  7. trina

    Same with me, I am also a Member and it said that I was not able to participate at this time.

  8. fran

    Hi Ladies,
    I got the same thing when I first tried. I kept refreshing and the form would appear, then disappear. Then I went back to the email and clicked the link again and I was able to successfully fill out the form. GL!

  9. Shawn Williams Naticchioni

    Looks like you can’t get to it unless you click on the link from your email I had problems yesterday with the pillsbury one and once I clicked on the link from my email it worked.

  10. rn30032

    woohoo….just tried again and it worked!!

  11. Brandie

    It is doing the same thing to me as it did yesterday 🙁

  12. shalini

    can anyone resend me the email? I can’t seem to find it. my id is biscotti27 at gmail.com

    • erin

      The email links are one-time use.

  13. mom2five

    Got an e-mail yesterday and today! Thanks Collin 🙂

  14. Maryann

    Going through the email didn’t work for me either, until I back arrowed to the page. I think it worked. (Unlike with the Pillsbury one yesterday.)

    • Jean

      Thank you – that worked.

  15. steph

    Couldn’t get it to work.

  16. Claudia

    The first two times I went from the link in my e-mail, it didn’t work. Then I guess the third time is a charm because I closed it and clicked the link again and then it worked. Weird. I don’t like the way are doing this now.

  17. mizmamie06

    I didn’t even get an email 🙁

    • Mrs

      I didn’t get an email yesterday with the Pillsbury offer (and Yes, I am subscribed to the newsletter according to my account settings) and I have not yet received the email from Box Tops). Hopefully I’ll receive an email before the samples are gone.

  18. Autumn

    No email here either. Hopefully we get it soon (before I have to leave) 😉
    I didn’t get the Pillsbury one yesterday either though.

  19. Karen

    as mentioned above you have to now go thru the links in the emails to be eligible for these freebies. if you get them late i would put them in a separate folder if you can and esp put them on your white list so they come through. and use gmail instead of yahoo.

  20. Tera @ Adventures in Mommy-hood

    I’m glad they made this change in giving out their samples–that you have to click through your email in order to get it. Seems like the samples would always be gone even before I got the email saying they were available. I did have to click the link twice to get this one–I had to sign in, then go back to the email and click the link again to get to the sample.

  21. tina

    This really sux I didn’t get either email yesterday or today so wasn’t able to sign up for either one….this new system is horrible

  22. Diane

    I’ve been a member for a long time, but I didn’t get the email. I checked the settings on my account and I am subscribed, so I’m not sure why I’m not getting emails. I checked my span folder and nothing was there either. 🙁

  23. Bruce

    Will I get these if I sign up for monthly newsletter? Or do I need to sign up for the the weekly one too? I’d really prefer not to get a weekly email unless I need it to get the free samples.

  24. Tarri

    Of course I got the Pillsbury one but was out of town, so did not get the sample, hoping I get this email.

  25. Suz

    Thanks for the tip on going to the email. I did not think I had it so I would tell others to look at any Box Tops email and scroll down to see the offer. I had missed it but rescued it from the Trash folder.

  26. Elizabeth

    never got the email 🙁

  27. Migdalia

    I never got the email.Probably will get it tomorrow just like the pillsbury one.I can understand going thru the email link but its not fair that it is not sent to some of us until after its over

  28. Karen

    i thought there would be a freebie from Betty Crocker this morning…they usually do them Tues-Weds-Thurs midmonth. We had Pillsbury Tues, Boxtops4Educ on Weds. I thought they would have it for BCrocker today.
