Free Microsoft POLO!

[AmRivlin]

Everyone wants a T-Shirt, but this is a polo, even better!

Recently at my work I was digging through old Microsoft catalogs and found a free polo offer. It is for OEM specalists only, but aren't we all, and who wouldn't want a Microsoft logo shirt they can draw a circle with an x through!

First go here:
https://oempub.microsoft.com/scripts/oemapps/register/register.asp?la=EN

Then confirm here: http://oem.microsoft.com/crn.htm

I actually waited for mine to come to post the deal! Also I gave them my fax number and they actually called to see if I wanted to order, they mailed me and asked if I gave the wrong # and how glad they were to have me aboard! Good Luck to everyone.

Who couldn't use a clean shirt!? With all the free shirts going around I don't need to wash clothes anymore!

how long did it take to receive the shirt? hopefully not as long as it's taking for me to get my surge protector and numerous other freebies..

Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks a ton...my first experience with this board, too.

[AmRivlin]

Delivery came Priority Mail, I believe they flushed their mail system and tried to get all orders out quick, I got it like 2 1/2 weeks later... I think. Pretty nice quality too. I guess OEM people deserve top notch customer support!

__Update__
I will not let my great deal fall to the bottom hehe! Just makin sure everyone has a fair chance..

I signed up thrice, but it still doenst seem to take, and when I login, it no workie, and when I use the lost password thing, It says it cannot find my email.

[AmRivlin]

My experience, it takes Microsofts servers 2 hours to update... kinda funny since active server should be instantaneous in NT5!

And thank you everyone for your interest, specially APEX, I was thrilled to see my post make the Page, Now I just have to get my name along with it, and look I am even a senior member!!! Hip Hip Horray!

though everyone makes fun of microsoft customer support, they do have one of the best, when you can find them that is. I had a broken Intellieye Explorer and they replaced it (twice) at no cost, no questions asked. =)

[ChIcKeN_HaWk]

[olddvd]

[skyjuice]

[MD2B]

Thanx AmRivlin!

[jeproks]

I'm wondering if anybody else got a call from Microsoft? I got a call today and they want more info about the company I work for. The guy was asking on where did I learned about the promo and how many PC's are we building a month and who do we buy the Microsoft OS from.

[CiViC]

Maybe they call up people who ordered more than one? (You know, you people who probably ordered 20 of em ).

[MD2B]

I got a call from them too. I just filled out one survey/polo offer. If they got the time to call and verify each one--then more power to them. They can keep the shirt!

DOn't worry I didn't squeal on you guys!

[Tazsoft]

i got the call as well.........fortunately i gave all the correct answers (i hope) and my oem builder pack will be coming soon.....

i honestly think microsoft cares about us... calling to check on our "companies" hehe

[DizzyT]

I got a call from them yesterday, they left a message for me to call them back on my answering machine.... i dont know what to say??????

[AmRivlin]

It appears they have recieved numerous requests...(I wounder why?) I recieved a call from a distributer of their products welcomeing me, I believe all you have to say is that you are a computer builder, and are looking to in the future to use their services. I am not sure what they are asking, maybe they found this post, but i don't think it is too big a worry, yet, I didn't sign up 20 times... Only once, I only have one body to wear the shirt...

[Hydrox]

For once...I think I can say it's a Customer Service issue.

Two years ago, when I actually *was* a System Builder, I signed up for the program, and got the same follow up call.

No sweat, they're just verifying their databases so that they can hone in on their marketing. Expect to get a LIFETIME of Microsoft OEM System Builder info via email.

AmRivlin: Where did you say that you saw this originally? I need to return their call.
