50 Free Holiday Cards Update – Mea Culpa!

photo_cards11

I have to say – yesterday there were 4 other freebies from SeeHere that I had codes for, but I held off on posting them because the SeeHere site was either down or running so slow.  Now I’m glad that I didn’t post them!

If you took advantage of the recent 50 FREE Holiday cards offer that I posted, you probably have received an email from SeeHere stating that the code was part of a promotion that was intended only for customers who purchased a Santa photo package at the mall and that they are cancelling orders.

I apologize for any misinformation that I (and many other websites) gave out.  Please know that none of us knew that these codes were not intended for public distribution and the fact that the orders continued to go through for everyone made us confident that these were valid offers!

Additionally – while I wish that SeeHere would have caught and “pulled” the codes earlier, I don’t want anyone to think that this was any sort of “bait & switch”.  This may be just another case of a company not completely understanding/appreciating the viral nature of The Internets until something like this happens.  I doubt that they will make the same mistake again.

FYI – the 100 FREE prints offer (not including shipping) when you sign up for a SeeHere account is still a valid offer

    I did the 50 free photo card deal on Sunday and when I read that they were not honoring them I signed into the account. Mine says shipped?? Not sure if they actually shipped or they marked them all shipped to put them on hold. Hmmm I guess if they dont show up in the next week or so I’ll have to make them again somewhere else.

    I didn’t get any email so who knows.

    Same here, Kelly. I just checked the email that I used to order, and it says shipped. I ordered mine last Thursday, so maybe our orders were shipped before they realized what had happened. I guess we’ll see.

    Mindi,
    It seems that you are like a reporter, and it is difficult to keep the facts straight. This is the second deal this week (the other being Target price matching the TRU-or not so much) that is falsely reported. Unfortunately, this is your reputation that comes into question.

    thanks for all your had work mindi-i benefit so much from this site!

    Barb – to err is human. Perhaps you’d rather spend several hours a day trying to find deals on your own.

    I too love this site and have benefited from it so much. Thank you for all you do!

    Just an update: I had ordered my cards last Thursday (11/12). They arrived FedEx yesterday, so apparently I got my order in before SeeHere realized what was happening. Anyone else that ordered at least by Thursday can probably expect to receive their order.

    Just another update: I ordered mine on Sunday 11/15 and used the code newbaby and received my cards today. Talk about FAST! Well even if it was unintentional to give them all free I am happy with my order and would go back to their site.
