I was just about to go to bed-I guess I’ll have to wait!
I thought the same thing/..it said it is having issues!
The website will not load for me……any luck for others?
Imagine that, site won’t load. Looks like they are out or the site crashed. Oh well, tha ks for the heads up. Good night! Hoping for colorful dreams instead! 🙂
we DO crash alot of sites,don’t we? 🙂
LOL! Yep 😉
YEP..!
I feel sorry for the IT people 😉
wont load for me either
It loaded for me 3 times, but I can’t get past the submit-it keeps crashing. I’m too tired to worry about a can of free paint-good night all.
Taking forever to load!
nope
Nope… it didn’t and hasn’t after about 20 tries.
200,000 is a lot. Hope its working better in the morning and not all gone!
I can’t get on the site 🙁 It loaded at 1st, but there was no where to sign up for the free paint, so I tried hitting refresh and nothing happened. Is anyone getting this to work?
Wait for the video to finish.
I got it to work!!!
Umm…where is it?
still won’t work so good night everyone and good luck for those who’ll stay awake 🙂
when are these companies going to learn?? If your site can’t handle that amount of traffic, don’t invite that kind of traffic to come over and play!
I think it’s difficult for any site to handle this type of traffic. I think they’d be better off doing a drawing.
I agree! However. My blog partner and I often have this conversation. These companies obviously want things to go smoothly. But even if it is a Fail, traffic and attention have been drawn to their site. Good or bad, at least you thought about Glidden.
Freebie websites are good and bad. Did I know that “glidden” was hosting? Nope. I just knew that I could get a free gallon of paint.
Do you remember the Darth Vadar kid from the Superbowl? I bet you do. But I also bet (without googling) you can’t remember which commercial it was for.
But not all publicity is good publicity.
it wont load for me either.
Sigh, same stuff we always run into when going after a good deal. The facebook page says they’re trying to resolve the difficulties. I’m sort of on the page but have a really really fast spinny fan looking thing saying it’s loading but, well, it isn’t loading. I’m hoping that with them having fewer than 4000 facebook fans maybe the 200,000 cans won’t go too fast and we’ll still get in there. My front door needs some love. 🙂 Thanks for the tip!!
Loading forever >.>

Oops sorry for double post. It is 12:23 in the morning ya know! 😉
Unfortunately, it made me think about them in a way that will probably lead me to avoid them in the future. Oh well.
while yes it is frustrating, i cannot imagine thinking poorly of a company that is giving away thousands of free product. i have been denied by other freebies a million times, but it’s not like i did anything special to deserve their free product, so i just give up. it’s luck of the draw, and some people get it, some people don’t! personally i don’t blame the company.
Got through! Try again
It won’t load for me either….I saw the post at 12 and clicked on it then and it wouldn’t load. They should have done like others and offered the 200,000 in smaller increments over a few days
I got to the site after about 5 tries but I see nothing that leads me to register for anything anywhere. I clicked on a few links and they wont load at all. Oh well… I just bought 5 gallons of glidden paint in the past month anyway; it’s a little late for me.
The main page should have a revolving set of pictures, one of which says you can try it for free or something like that. I’ve noticed they’ve reverted back to their old page a few times but when I hit refresh, it comes back up as the new post 12:01 page with the link over. Or you can just try to go straight here: https://www.glidden.com/color/color-visualizer.do?promo=true
Click on “Let’s Get Rolling” and it will take you to the promotion.
i got lucky and got one!!!!!!!! my husband keeps trying to get online (for my parents to get a gallon) and has had zero luck.
Do you have to pick your color or is it just for a voucher of some sort?
Here it is 12:20 and the web site will not load. As much as I would like to get this, is it worth the wait???
I had to hit refresh a few times but finally got in!! Thanks Collin!!
When you say “got it” where did you go? I couldn’t find where to get it. I signed up for the mailing list.. It was too confusing and the site kept going down.
I registered at 12:27 and gave my email. Bu t I don’t know if that was the right spot to register because the site was not working right and they didn’t specify where to register. They should have planned that out better.
Got mine!
Its a quart not a gallon
I got through it did take a lil while but I got it in under 30 mins so not too bad!
Got mine, thanks!
Thanks for the heads up! I was finally able to get a can and so did my Daughter!
I was able to get mine, however my husband not so lucky .. ; ; XD
I am not finding the free paint link on there site? Any help plz
Try this… https://www.glidden.com/color/color-visualizer.do?promo=true
I got mine! Each time the screen freezed, I continued refreshing (F5) until the page loaded, eventually I got to the end.
Same here. I either hit refresh or back button then submitted that page again. FYI, you do have to pick a color on the spot but there aren’t thousands to pick from so the choice isn’t too tough really. It’s free, it’s fun and hey, I’m finally going to paint my front door (although I think it’s interior paint so I’ll be hitting it with some polyurethane over the top of it).

I got through! It took a lot of refreshing, but it went through. Wasn’t sure if it had until I got an email confirming I got a quart of paint. Just keep trying because from the sounds of it on their facebook page, they are not where close to being gone.
Got mine but had to refresh many times…. keep trying people.
I got one! Thank you for the tip!
Got it with no problems. Thanks 🙂
Took one hour but I got it!
Took exactly an hour, and many, many tries, but I got mine. Thanks for the tip, and be patient everyone – if you have the time to spend, just keep trying! 🙂
Got mine! I ordered steel blue. I have little samples of light green and yellow. Now I have to decide what to do with all of these free paint samples. Hmmmmm . . .
Just got me email too! Yay!!!
Took a few times, but I finally got the page to load and got the sample. Thanks!
I posted a direct link and some tips. Hope it helps!
