Of note, if you walk into a store tomorrow, and they have remaining inventory, they will give them away to anyone (T-Mobile customer or not).

Source: me. I do it every time I can’t make it on Day 1.

What cool things have you gotten?

Spatulas. Water Bottles. Baseball Hats. Bags. Football shaped platters.

Really? I’m going to try this tomorrow, I could use a new car blanket… it mysteriously disappeared after a lake day

It looks like it’s designed to use on grass for a picnic or something. I’m going to keep it in my trunk.

u/ShyVoodoo 18h ago

That’s what I was hoping! The one I wanna replace was similar to this and it was so convenient always having it in my trunk.

It might seem obvious, but this is exactly what it says it is. Useful for the right person, but if you don’t have a need for it you might just find yourself with closet clutter

They’re good for keeping in your car. You’re always ready for a picnic, sports event, or lawn concert. Plus you can protect your clothes when changing a tire and protect your seats in a pinch from stray pets and messy materials. They’re better than nothing if you get stranded in the cold and can make decent shade too.

A full ass bucket list of how to use this thing

I won’t be able to make it until the end of the day. Does anyone know how long these freebies last before they run out?

u/Faile-Bashere MOD 1d ago

They don’t run out in the Atlanta market where I live. Have never had an issue even going the day after.

In NJ they run out by early afternoon

Depends, I normally don't bother w these freebies but I thought I'd go get this one. Took a nice bike ride up to my local store mid-afternoon and they had a sign saying they were out of stock at their location. Not sure it's worth driving to another store to bother.

u/Economy-Government60 1d ago

u/Jeskid14 23h ago

Depending how popular your store is

u/JDubblemint 22h ago

Unfortunately, they ran out at the store that I went to (Chicago suburbs.)

Does mint mobile count?

u/lawschoolmeanderings 1d ago

Just got 3! They're actually quite big!

u/NoDatabase6799 1d ago

Are they thin? From the photo it’s hard to tell

u/smackythefrog 1d ago

It's a T-Mobile blanket. Pretty sure it'll leak heat the way T-Mobile leaks our personal info.

u/Faile-Bashere MOD 1d ago

Hey-oh!

u/MegaPorkachu 1d ago

It’s the thickness of 3 sheets of paper

u/AnteaterUnusual3299 1d ago

Do you happen to know the dimensions?

u/mynipples 1d ago

Thank you!

u/Narco_Bi_Polo 1d ago

Yes. I mentioned that. Twice.

Doesn’t make sense to post if it’s only for T-Mobile users

u/Narco_Bi_Polo 1d ago

Well, the mods and plenty of users absolutely disagree with you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/freebies/search/?q=T-mobile

And as moderator /u/Faile-Bashere mentioned, non-customers may also have luck scoring the freebie the next day.

u/quesobaeritto 1d ago

Ok? Still doesn’t sense

28

u/Narco_Bi_Polo 1d ago

I’m sorry you think that, but the post will remain. I’ll go ahead and block you so you don’t have to see it anymore.

23

u/Faile-Bashere MOD 1d ago

Agreed. The post will remain. :)

u/ikindahateusernames 1d ago

What doesn't make sense? Rule 8 specifies "Please make sure at least 100 people can get the freebie" and it's safe to say that at least 100 people who lurk here are T-Mobile subscribers.

I will say I understand how needing to use T-Mobile goes against Rule 5. However, given how widespread cell phone usage is nowadays, it's likely that money is going to be spent regardless of if the freebie is offered or not.

At that point, might as well make the PSA and let those who have access make use of it.

All you had to do is read the title of the post. It literally specified "for tmobile customers".

Once you see that you can then NOT click to go into the thread and waste your time.
