Oooh, free cookies.

Yeah, that got my attention, too.

Since I've been paying attention to freebies on the web, I've seen oh, lots of offers that provide some kind of incentive if you'll enroll in a company's email newsletter program. Mrs. Fields cookies have upped the ante with this offer, though. See, they don't just want you to sign up, they want you to enroll your friends and family, too.

Now, before you get offended, keep reading: you're just referring your friends – none of them will be enrolled in the newsletter program without their permission. They'll get an email asking them to confirm.

Now the fun part – the more people you refer who confirm, the better your reward. Maybe you get your boyfriend to enroll – you'll get a discount code for 10% off your next order through MrsFields.com. But that's just one person! Say you get six people... now you've earned a gift basket with 24 Nibbler cookies and 18 Brownie Bites and 2 frosted cookies – a $27.99 value! Say you get 100 people... you get a cookie and brownie basket with 72 delicious confections, worth $109.99!

So you see, the more you enroll, the more cookies you earn! This is a delicious offer... and here's a thought: if you have to, you could offer to share the free cookies with your friends. It only seems fair, right?

Heh. I know, I didn't offer to share, either. Mmmm, cookies.
