The best way to request free samples (also known as freebies) and coupons is directly from the manufacturer or company that makes that product. Another good rule of thumb is to look at the website name which typically has the actual manufacturer’s brand name before the .com in the web address. For example DelMonte.com.

Using non-brand name web sites can put you in a position where your information is sold or shared, exposing your email account to Spam (spam is when you receive unsolicited emails). A simple tip is to set up a free email account with an email hosting company like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo so that if your free email address IS spammed, your main “personal” email account remains private and secure.
