Yes, you read that headline correctly! I couldn't believe it. In my last issue of Runner's World Magazine I flipped to a page that said $500 Gift Card from
RedStar WorldWear. RedStar is a new company line trying to make a path for themselves here in America. I read the advert in the magazine and detached the credit card inside. I read all the instructions and looked diligently for fine print (I didn't find any). So, without further ado, I entered the website in to my search browser and perused the site for about 1 hr, learning and reading. I eventually settled on 5 pair of glasses, for me and Ashley, upon check out I received a pop stating that because I used my gift card for glasses only, I was entitled to a free watch of my choice (the only offered 2 at that time so it was easy). I placed the order, received my confirmation email, (figured it was all a ploy but decided to play along) and completely forgot about it... until yesterday.
I went to check the mail at my parents house, saw a unusually large box with my name on it. Thinking I had purchased something on eBay and forgot about it, I wasn't really overly excited. I opened the packaged and noticed all of the glasses I had ordered some time ago (the initial order was placed 7/5/2011). I was elated, very impressed that these people were actually serious! At the bottom of my invoice I was placed in a market study analysis program, I was to write a review of the glasses over the next 3 months and email all the goods and bads of my RedStar experience... so far so good! I don't like all of the glasses, but the ones I do like I love and the watch is pretty awesome, not worth the $180 price tag accompanied with it, but a nice watch nonetheless.
