UPDATE: Sorry, all! 🙁 It appears Tide is postponing this sample until a later date.
At 9PM EST today, March 28th, Tide will be hosting the Tide Challenge on its Facebook page. If you’re one of the first 100,000 people to register for the Tide Stain Release Challenge, you’ll be able to reserve a FREE sample for yourself and three of your friends. Good luck!
(Thanks, Megs!)

100,000 people?! LOL! WOW………….Shouldn’t be ANY complaints about not getting this one! LOL!
Thanks!!!
do you think it will be posted on that challenge page or will it be posted on their wall?
I think it’s going to be posted in the “The Challenge” tab.. I’m already having trouble getting it to load, though and we’re about 20mins away haha
this is off topic but i was wondering for those who have done the aveeno/clean clear deal at rite aid this week. the aveno coupon in this sundays paper says excluding trial sizes do you know if the single aveeno bars would be concidered trial size?
I am not sure..if they are regular size bars then they should count towards the deal. I’d just ask the cashier nicely if she could run the transaction through with no coupons at first and see what ups print…then return it all and redo the transaction with your coupons. I’ve had a cashier do that for me before – it was a slow day and I asked before I made the purchase. HTH!
I am trying to go to the page but i keep getting this message
We’re sorry, but something went wrong.
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.
well TIDE is already having problems. Oh well. Maybe it will be fixed soon
Site is already crashing? Think I’m going to skip this one. =-P I’ll check back @9:30.
yeah, bummer. Hopefully it will be up @ 9. We’re sorry, but something went wrong.
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.
Its not even 9 yet and the site is already broken! Hopefully they get it figured out by then.
Yeah me too. already getting an error messagre. Darn…
Curious to see how this will work out; 7 minutes to go & the site is still down. “We’re sorry, but something went wrong. We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.”
Also, 100,000 samples is great; however, since it’s for “you and 3 of your friends” that means it only takes 25,000 people signing up and sending samples to 3 friends for them to all be gone. And they have over a million FB fans, so it has to be a huge undertaking to try to prepare their servers. Of course, I will be doing my part to help the crash along! 🙂
That message is there b/c the link isn’t live yet LOL
its still there 🙁
yep! I saw the message over an hour ago, but with the influx of people on their page, crashed their server!!
Ridiculous!!!
Way to not work LOL
It’s still giving the message that something has gone wrong and they are going to look into it, so who knows when the site will actually be working. Oh, well, maybe next time.
it’s not working 🙁 BUMMER
WOW what a fail – still not working!
Only 5 minutes in and already 2000 angry comments on their wall–yikes!
I got to the page to fill out the form and I did and it didn’t go through.
same here. 🙁
Well I got through to the sign-up form twice but both times after I hit submit it went to an error page 🙁
I got to finally fill out the form, but then when I hit submit it went back to the same “somethings wrong” message. I guess I’ll keep refreshing. And hey, if I don’t get it, I’m not going to worry, I was lucky enough to get a tide stain release spray a month ago, so I’m already loving tide!!!
I got to the sign up page. I filled everything, pressed submit and got an OOOPS on my screen!! How frustrating! Guess no Tide for me!
Tide ruins my clothes. Doesn’t anyone else have problems? It leaves blue/purple spots on random clothes. I finally was able to link it to Tide after several years of it staining expensive clothes. I googled it and many other people have had it happen too, so dang frustrating!!
I have actually had this problem many times with Tide. I stopped using it also.
try this link https://apps.facebook.com/tidesr-prod//canvas/entries/new?type=coupon…it kept giving me the error and then i’d just hit back and resubmit. finally it told me i had already submitted an entry..so i think im good to go. i thought it was worth a try to share!
i got through but they want access to all your info. no thanks i’ll pass on this sample.
Keep getting We’re sorry, but something went wrong.
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.
just keep hitting the back button and resubmitting. you wont have to fill out any of your info again that way, but it will eventually tell you that you’ve already submitted an entry.
thanks for the tip. After about 15 minutes of hitting back and resubmitting, I finally got that message.
I’ve filled out the sign up page 6 times just to get oops. I already use this stain release and will continue to, regardless of the outcome of this.
@8:22 CDT: “Once again, we apologize for the delay. We are still experiencing technical difficulties that we are working through. Thanks!”
??? – “Please accept our apologies for issues experienced with the Tide Challenge tonight. To make it fair to each of you we’re postponing the launch until we’re sure that ALL technical issues are fixed, and will be increasing the number of Tide Stain Release 10 count packs up for grabs to 150,000!! Stay tuned for a new date & time. Sorry for wasting your time – it’s truly unacceptable. Thanks for bearing with us!”
I don’t understand how some ppl can get the form up & submit, while others get the error message page when they click on the link!
I have refreshed it like 40 times at each step. I have filled out my info 3 times, but keep getting the error. I guess I’ll hit refresh another 8 million times to see if something happens. Lots and lots of error pages.
i thought I missed the give away…lucky me!!!
It finally worked for me! When I filled out the info and hit submit, I got the error message…..but when I tried again (a million times!), it finally came up and said “welcome back”, and that I was already registered and entered in the giveaway. So I’m guessing that means I get the sample too!?!? I hope so! I did the polls for 2 more entries in the weekly giveaways and grand prize…..but I don’t understand how we reserve the sample for 3 of our friends….I didn’t get anything like that. But that’s ok. I’m done with it now. 🙂 Don’t give up!
btw, I was clipping coupons while I was refreshing the site….so I didn’t get too frustrated and feel like I was wasting my time. 🙂
Tide Hi Rose – we just learned that a few people managed to get through to register for their free Tide Stain Release sample last night. We are sending out confirmation emails in the next 24 hours or so to those who successfully completed their request. Look out for an email in your inbox!
Good to know! Thank you! 🙂
45 minutes of stalking and I’m going to bed! Good luck to those of you with the persistance to wait! 🙂
I filled it out so I hope I am good to go.. If not I guess its not big deal =]
Refresh Refresh Refresh! After refreshing like a zillion times, form FINALLY went through!
I had fun reading all the comments that people left on Tide’s page lool The challenge button is gone, and I don’t know if any of the forms I filled got through.
I got my confirmation page & took a screen shot after registering!
I also got the welcome back message, so I hope I get sample. Tide’s site seemed to not have enough support for all the traffic to it’s server.
postponed until a further date 🙁
Tide will be reposting this in the future due to all the problems, plus they will increase the enteries to 150,000. wow!!
Grrr.. I actually finally got through! 🙁 Now watch and see, they will postpone it to a time that i cant participate!
comment tide sent me when I posted I got submitted and another person said it woyld not be in theu=ir data bank.

Like someone else posted they are going to move it to another day and time, increasing the total number of freebie slots to 150,000.
If you got through or register after this you won’t get entered into the system- the database is saving NO ONE’S information right now.
Everyone will need to try again
response to me from tide today!

I would NOT use that stuff again if they paid me to! I ruined a good tee-shirt trying to remove cooking oil splatters. The shirt got bleached out and the oil was still there! I had to bleach a white dress shirt to remove the orange stains from the Stain Release! I never have problems like that from “Shout.”
Good news! I just received an email from Tide saying my sample from last nights Facebook giveaway was on the way! 🙂
I got this today 🙂
Got mine today! Woot!
