A few minutes ago I did something so unlike me. I’m still surprised I hit the “send” button on the email I drafted.
A company that currently holds some of my debt is holding a promotion that if you refer people to them you get a tasty treat. Now, I’ve discussed this company in length on this blog because I borrowed money from them. It was a good experience for me and I’ve even done a guest post on a very popular personal finance blog about my experience with them (and that post was highlighted by an even more popular blog). I feel I’ve created quite a bit of “buzz” about their company from blogging about my experience.
Well, with this promotion and the chance to get a treat that I would never buy for myself, I spoke up. I wrote a nice email explaining that I have blogged about my experience with their company and I was wondering if I could get the treat without having to do the direct referrals to spread the word like they want right now. As I said, this is so unlike me and I am so surprised I hit “send” on the email.
I have no idea what is going to happen and now it’s a matter of waiting and seeing if they reply. If they do end up sending the treat, I’ll split it with one of you!! 🙂
