Coupon: Free Herbal Essences Shampoo

Posted on 10.02.2009 by Goob in Body Products, Coupons, Facebook

EDIT: Okay, so now they are saying to RSVP at the link below and then go to this link where the submit form is. Only problem is that their server is overwhelmed right now, so you’ll have to ~~keep trying to reload the page~~ just be patient and let the page load.

Alright, the details on this are still a bit vague to me, but here’s what I understand so far. At 2:00 EST on Friday, October 2 through Tuesday, October 6, you can have a chance to get one of 50,000 free Herbal Essences coupons for a free 12oz. product. That means they’re giving away 12,500 each day and the first giveaway starts in about 2 minutes. Go to the link above and click on the RSVP option over on the right hand side.

The rules don’t say whether or not you have to also become a fan of Herbal Essences on Facebook, but it can’t hurt I guess. You know what else can’t hurt? Becoming a fan of HIF. However, dropping a giant box full of books on your foot most certainly can hurt. I think it was punishment for not having read half of the books.

The link isn’t working. Not your link. There’s!

#2 AnaMarie | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:12 pm

Neither of the links are working or they’re overloaded….

#3 Goob | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:14 pm

Its not working for me either!

#5 Goob | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:17 pm

I can get the form to load, but submitting it is turning into a pain.

Are y’all even getting the form to load?

#6 Goob | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:21 pm

On the bright side, there are tons of people on Herbal Essences’ Facebook page saying it’s not working for them. In fact, I haven’t seen one person say they got it to work yet. So chances are this will still be available once their tech support irons out the kinks.

#7 nicky | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:24 pm

not getting through either ;(

btw, Goob, I am still having to do a hard refresh everytime I come to the site(HIF)…and I cleared all my cashes & cookies and whatnots!!! I am having trouble on all three on my puters ??????

#8 Jamie | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:28 pm

I’m getting some “our website is overloaded please come back later” message…so it’s still a no-go for me

#9 Goob | October 2nd, 2009 at 02:33 pm

Nicky, what browser / OS are you using?

Jamie, I’m getting that message as well.

#10 KFM | October 2nd, 2009 at 03:37 pm

Yeah, I’m most likely gonna miss this one. Still not letting me through.

#11 Gloria Walshver | October 2nd, 2009 at 04:04 pm

I’d like the coupon for the shampoo.

#12 Barb | October 2nd, 2009 at 04:32 pm

Yeah, I keep getting the message that Safari can’t connect to the server. Same thing with the address Goob listed in #3. And like Nikki, I still have to refresh on both my Mac laptops. OS 10.3.9 and OS 10.6.1

#13 anne | October 2nd, 2009 at 04:43 pm

Finally, got in, filled out form and got a confirmation. Hang in there!

#14 Debbie | October 2nd, 2009 at 04:58 pm

#15 Janet Kalisch | October 2nd, 2009 at 05:02 pm

Ok so here we go. I would love to win this since my hair really needs an overhaul. The summer sun has taken a toll on it here in SC! Here’s hoping I win! Good luck to all.

UPDATE as of 1:37PM EST on 10/5

We apologize for the technical issues that have gotten in the way of the Herbal Essences Gorgeous Giveaway. While we have worked through the weekend, there are several issues taking longer than expected to resolve.

We want this to be a good experience for everyone, and so we are building in some of feedback we received. As a result, the event will now run 10/8 (11:30pm ET) through 10/12 (11:30pm ET). And because you’ve stuck with us, we’ve increased the number of coupons we’re giving away to 75,000 total (18,750 per day). And if your form was successfully submitted, rest assured that you will receive your coupon and there is no need to resubmit.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
