3 free golf balls when I bought a set of clubs. Pathetic.

but surely as a golfer you are always in need of balls?

Yep but the free item value to purchased item value ratio was insulting
My best "free gift" was a Breitling watch. Bought it for myself a few years ago in New York when the dollar was 2 to the £ and it has never appeared on my credit card. I consider this a free gift from Amex.

It's not too big - heavy though

NB - with the exchange rate it would have cost me nowhere near the price shown

I can't fathom spending that much on a watch!
My car only cost a shade over that!

As I said - it was going to cost me nowhere near that much with the exchange rate - plus no VAT to pay either.

I know but I'm sure someone somewhere has spent that on it
I didn't say I can't belive YOU spent that much on a watch.

It's not all about you battered

It IS all about me. Some people spend a lot more - there are watches in Harrods and other places that sell for ten's of thousands.

Well those people are idiots

Depends. If you've worked hard it's up to you how you spend your money. If you have purchased it at the expense of feeding you kids that is entirely different

You're an idiot

that's pretty sweet!

Yep. Amex never got in touch about it. Neither did the retailer (who had my details for the warranty)

sweet
on a lesser scale, I got a free raptor tshirt that says Clever Girl on it because Wiggy ordered the wrong size and changed it, but they sent both anyway. I gave the free one to my friend so we could be raptor buddies.
