Yes, I'm sure you all heaved a giant sigh of relief when our Breakfast Cereal Magazine Offer Code Redemption Saga was happily resolved back in June. In fact, I reported here that we had received what I called "Cereal Satisfaction."
But wait - not so fast!!! (okay, three months is not exactly fast)
Apparently, the MORONS at General Mills have lost our address!
Yes, after we successfully redeemed a book for the big kids ("Frindle") AND a mini-magazine subscription for me ("Canadian Gardening" - surprise, surprise), and countless follow-up emails from me, they no longer have our mailing address to send Naomi Rivka's subscription.
Yes, the one I promised her back in MAY.
Here's what they said. Notice how they sign off with a jaunty "Cheers," like this is something businesses do all the time. "Cheers; we lost your info!" "Cheers; we disappointed your preschooler yet again!"
Cheers. Morons.
Also, the reply-to address was NOT an official General Mills address, so - deeply suspicious - I emailed them back asking them to verify that they are indeed associated with this stupid promotion. Grrr...
