Apart from Humans (Friends, Family etc) what are the best things you have gotten for free? Products, Events, Experiences..............Go!

A Janet Jackson song.

Not at all a coincidence that's where the topic title came from :lol:

I needed a knee reconstruction a few years ago, which I was fortunate to receive for free on the NHS.

In 1994...

It's going to be tough to top that. :lol:

Merch from F1 teams in the 90's, it wasn't completely free per se as getting stuff cost me the price of a stamp, but that's just a technicality really.

I still have my team issued 1997 Benetton Renault Mild Seven F1 Cap.

a 2nd copy of TLoZ: Twilight Princess on the Gamecube which GAME sent out alongside the copy I actually ordered.

89p for a can of larger.

I've never received anything for free.

I did get a cool Wrecker figurine though and a nice Mando mug. Also a porg plush which is cute and then some absolute tat plastic creature. Not bad for free.

You just got Moggy'd for free Zilnad.

June 1994 so before Definitely Maybe. That would have been a great time to see Oasis, right on the cusp of them really breaking through.

I saw The Strokes at Leeds Festival 2001 which was just after their debut album Is This It launched. There was so much hype and so many people trying to cram into the tent they had for the second stage that they had to be moved over to the main stage.

Got a 4k chromecast and stadia controller for free after Google refunded everything

Yes, they released Shakermaker the following week. His n' Hers and Parklife had been out for a few months... good times man. :toot:

I paid for the lightsaber which would technically make the above items complimentary, not free, despite my use of the term 'free'.

I will not allow you to shame me in this way.

No one gets Moggy'd for free.

He charges us for the service. :cry:

Not sure if it counts because technically I paid for a ticket (cattle class, naturally) but I once got upgraded to business class on a long haul flight from Tokyo. I was the first to arrive for check-in and they apologised because the flight was overbooked and asked if I minded being upgraded to business class for free, like I was somehow going to say "no" to that :lol:

Oh if upgrades count then my honeymoon in the Maldives was pretty damn boss. Got a free upgrade to a private villa with our own pool. Once in a lifetime kind of thing.
