FreebieShark HOT Offer Text Alerts

Thursday, October 18, 2012

Posted by Jason

I am very pleased to announce yet another awesome new FreebieShark.com feature! Have you ever missed out on a HOT freebie, coupon, or deal? Yeah…I am sure most of you have! Well now, you won’t ever miss a deal again…You can sign up to FREE FreebieShark HOT Deal Text Alerts! As most of you know, we do post many offers daily on FreebieShark. You’ll only receive text message alerts for the HOT time sensitive offers (such as first 10,000).

Sign up by texting Follow FreebieSharkHOT to 40404. You’ll immediately be signed up. The next time we post a HOT time sensitive offer, you’ll be alerted right away via text! Depending on the day, you may get anywhere from 0-4 texts. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying back “STOP” or “OFF”.

Standard text messaging rates apply, but the text message alerts are 100% completely FREE!

If you are having trouble signing up by the texting method, here’s an alternative way of signing up. Head on over here and either log in or register for a Twitter account. Then click the “Follow” button on our Text Alerts Page. After doing so, click the icon located to the left of the “Follow” button, then click “Turn on Mobile Notifications”. Then simply follow the quick instructions to sign up! (Thanks for the tip, Sherry!)

    I signed up for this an hour ago and it said something welcome to twitter then i had to sign up I guess but read your thing about ignore it so I did and you have posted 3 things and haven’t receive any text alert. So I am taking it that I need to sign up for Twitter then?

    • FreebieShark

      Hi Bonnie! No, you can ignore that. I didn’t post a HOT offer yet since you’ve signed up. You’ll get a text the next time a HOT offer is posted :) Hopefully soon!

  • Mery

    I tried to sign up but came back as: The username FreebieSharkHOT” was not found. Did you misspell it?

    • FreebieShark

      Try again..make sure that you don’t have any spaces! “Follow FreebieSharkHOT” to 40404. It should work fine.. no one else had this issue! :)

      • Mery

        Thank You Jason!

  • BellaRose

    So cool. Unfortunately I have no data plan, but if I did I would sign up. Just love this site. :-)

    Mine went to Twitter!?!?!? Confused!!!

    • FreebieShark

      It’s a service powered by Twitter. Ignore the first message you get from Twitter.. Did you get a second message after?

  • D

    REALLY appreciate the text messages for the hot deals, but am getting some texts for posts that aren’t time sensitive (e.g., Sunday mail call). Not a huge deal but some of them are sent very early in the morning (must be in different time zones?) Any way to change this?

    • FreebieShark

      Hi D! It seems like you are subscribed to the main FreebieShark text alerts, which includes ALL of our posts.
      Be sure to text “Follow FreebieSharkHOT” to 40404. I believe you left
      out the word “HOT” originally and that’s why you have been getting all
      the texts

      • D

        I’m pretty sure I typed in the whole thing the first time, but I re-subscribed just in case. Now I’m not getting things that are time sensitive like swagcodes :-/

        • FreebieShark

          I don’t include Swagcodes in the Hot offer alerts at this time, but I am considering doing so. Primarily this is for the hot freebies that are very time sensitive! It should be right now!

  • Tiffany

    THANK U!!!!! LOVE THIS SITE!!!

  • Brianna

    can I cancel alerts anytime?

    • Amanda

      Yes

  • nycmulan

    awesome new feature! thanks!

  • cking

    HI Jason

    I also had the same issue the first time I tried I received a text that said welcome to Twitter, so I sent the full text again and it said: The username FreebieSharkHOT” was not found. Did you misspell it? So I then sent it again using “Follow FreebieSharkHOT” and nothing this time…am I doing something wrong?

  • Andrea

    How do you stop texts so we will know for future reference?

    • Amanda

      Reply STOP to the text message

  • frebbie lover

  • aj

    how do i stop getting texts? they are taking up my minutes, and I don’t want to get them anymore. i sent 2 emails, and i don’t know if they even went through. thank you.

    • FreebieShark

      I never got your e-mails. Just text back “STOP” to stop getting text alerts.

  • tina

    Hi

    I signed up and still not getting alerts, help.

    • FreebieShark

      What error did you get? Try again..make sure that you don’t have any spaces! “Follow
      FreebieSharkHOT” to 40404. It should work fine!

  • andi722000

    How do you unsubscribe, too many texts!

    • FreebieShark

      Just reply back “STOP” to the text :)

  • topcat

    signed up for free text alerts sended me about joining twitter ????

    • FreebieShark

      It’s powered by Twitter! :)

  • NOEMI ROMAN

    I am going to be charge for the text?

    • FreebieShark

      Standard text rates do apply, but the service is free.

  • http://www.facebook.com/millie.johnson.925 Millie Johnson

    I am confused about the “text messaging rates apply”, I have unlimited text on my plan — do I still have to pay for these msgs. from you????

    • FreebieShark

      No- our messages are FREE. If you have unlimited texting, you are fine! :) No charges, ever, from us.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Gunpackinggirl ‘Lisa Laird Osborne

    I do not twitter so will I still get the text alerts?

    • FreebieShark

      Yup!

  • http://www.facebook.com/megan.fisher.9883 Megan Fisher

    Why am I receiving “Top Tweets?” I only want to receive your latest time sensitive giveaways..that’s the only reason I signed up… thanks !!

    • FreebieShark

      Hmm that is odd. Try using the alternate method of signing up and let me know if you still are having this issue.

      ~Jason

      • http://www.facebook.com/megan.fisher.9883 Megan Fisher

        Thanks for the reply! I haven’t got any more “top tweets”, but I haven’t got any new time sensitive giveaway text messages either. I saw that I missed a campbell’s giveaway…thanks!!!

  • mariposa72

    Hi. I also got the “twitter message”, but I ignored it s well so I hope I still get the offers. Especially the one when the Venus goes LIVE tomorrow. I waited for hours today and the second I thought it was safe to do something else real quick… gone.

  • ladymorgan222

    HI, I signed up for your texts and started getting them a few days ago, however they stopped coming to my phone …didn’t get any of todays!! HELP!

  • psyjax

  • joyce

    I’ve tried the twitter and I’ve tried the text message and I do not get any of the hot texts or tweets wish you had just a app for us with smartphones

    • gugiebug83

      You guys should definitely make an APP :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/marybeth.gallagherconkle Mary Beth Gallagher Conkle

    I did this and started getting texts in Spanish from cnnMex

    • FreebieShark

      Weird- try replying “STOP” then try signing up using the alternate method provided in the post above :) That should fix it! Not sure why you had this problem :(

  • doreen stowers

    Receiving tweets from “Top Tweets” Received 4 tweet from them in a matter of minutes!! I only want to get them from Freebie Shark!!

    • FreebieShark

      Weird- try replying “STOP” then try signing up using the alternate method provided in the post above :) That should fix it!

  • gugiebug83

    Hi Jason, thanks a lot for your work here! I have one question about this option: do we need to sign up again in order to always get the alerts? Because I’ve seen sometimes people saying they just got the alert for a freebie when I did not (but fortunately I was in my PC and looking at my interests list). Please let me know what can I do and thanks in advance for your answer.

    • FreebieShark

      Hmm that is odd. No- you only need to sign up once. Try replying “STOP” then try signing up using the alternate method provided in the post above :) That should fix it! Not sure what is wrong exactly!

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000471591979 Betty Reyna

        Thank you! I will try that ^_^

  • cdrawls

    ummmm I just got a text for scotch restickable shapers samples for 5 days ago….not a good heads up lol

    • FreebieShark

      Did you just sign up? When you sign up, you’ll get the latest hot offer text alert sent to you automatically, even if it is expired. Wish I could remove that, but I can’t!

  • http://twitter.com/cherminn1951 Cheryl Minnis

    How do I unsubscribe from text message alerts? Thanks

    • FreebieShark

      Hi- Simply reply back “OFF” or “STOP” to unsubscribe.

  • http://www.facebook.com/robin.oakley.1614 Robin Oakley

    Great

  • vicki

    i’m signed up but all i’m getting is top tweets . I went to the head on over page and think I messed everything up from there. I don’t know who or what im signed up for or who or if im following anyone. getting very discouraged

  • http://www.facebook.com/rseibt1 Renee Seibt

    Hi. Thank you so much for your site. However it seems when I get a email from you and go into some great deals its already expired, your email just came thru too.

  • http://www.facebook.com/cousinsp Pauline Cousins

    I am not on twitter. Do I have to? I am new to this and don’t understand. sorry

  • http://www.facebook.com/cousinsp Pauline Cousins
