How I Didn't Win A Charmin Sweepstakes Even Though I got A Winning Email Notification

 
On December 16th I received this email notification that I had won a year's supply of Charmin. I was so excited and posted it all over the place. Soon though people saw my posts and started commenting on them that they got the same emails and a few hours later they got another email saying they actually didn't win anything. I hadn't received that email...yet.

But the next day I did. Oh, I was mad. So I called the company and complained and told them that they should have to honor the winning email that was sent out. The customer service rep was rude to me, kept sighing and said because I didn't actually win anything and the email notifications were sent out on accident, all she could offer me was a $6 off coupon. Then she asked me if I had any feedback for her team, oh yes I sure did. I gave her an ear full. 

The next day on the 18th I got this email. So I filled out the form and I should get these coupons in 6-8 weeks. We'll see. I guess calling them and complaining got their attention a little bit. I still think they should have honored those winning emails they sent out. They're a big enough company that they could have eaten the cost. This will have to do I guess.
