Wendy's - Buy One, Get One Frosty

Great find - thanks for posting. Just went there yesterday with my friend and the Coffee Toffee is delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
 
misleading title

The title sure is misleading: if I buy one I expect to get one. That's how commerce normally works. If I buy one and get two, that would be special, i.e. if I buy one then get another one for free.

I think he's saying the title should have read "Buy one get one FREE". The word free is missing, so he was interpreting it to mean that when he buys one, he will get the one he paid for, but he won't get a free one. I think he was just being pretentious.

I would watch out for this deal.

- It forwards to coupons.com
- It makes you agree to receive advertising
- It wants to download and install executable software (couponprinter.exe)

Maybe coupons.com and their "coupon printer" is something some of you have already installed in the past? If not, there's a possibility that running software on your computer and agreeing to receive advertising could be a recipe for pop-ups all over your screen. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Anyone know for sure?
 
I'm looking everywhere trying to figure out where you click... then I thought "Ahhh, Ad Block Plus!"

If you're using Firefox, disable ABP for frosty.com... otherwise you won't see the sign up!

You are just being a little paranoid. I have had coupons.com "coupon printer" installed for many years and have not had any problems or pop-ups from it. :)

The word free is assumed with a buy one, get one... BOGO... it's common "commerce" speak.:peace:
 
Watch out for the giant ink-draining image that gets printed after the coupon. Just stop your printer or force it to spit out the page after the coupon is complete.
 
Argh!

I installed the software, went to the page, and there isn't a coupon for Wendy's on there! just a bunch of Kraft products (which is owned by a cigarette company and so I don't support)
 
Is there anyone else besides me who HATES INSTALLING STUPID COUPON SOFTWARE on their computer? I wouldn't install a program on my computer for ANYONE let alone for a free frostie. Why don't these companies just get with it, and start printing a coupon right on the web page? What does it hurt that they get a few more customers that way?
 
There is only one flavor of frostie... chocolate.

As far as the coupon software goes. With the large number of windows users switching to linux and mac (which is actually linux), fewer people are able to run the coupon software installers. If the trend keeps up maybe they will just offer plain old web pages with printable coupons.
 
virtual machines for potential spyware

I agree... the person was being pretentious. I thought he was also funny in pointing it out.

Anyway. Yeah, I don't like installing stuff like a "coupon printer". Isn't my normal printer driver good enough for them? Ah, well. If a person is too concerned about it, might I mention they download VirtualBox? It allows you to run an operating system within your operating system. (It's like a separate computer running on your desktop.) So, you can load the printer on the virtual machine and never worry about it messing with your main system (you don't have to leave your virtual machine running.)
 
trying to install the coupon printer on a virtual machine may not work.
i was running Win7 thru Virtual PC, and when i tried to install a coupon printer, i got a warning that i could not install the printer to a virtual environment.
