How long has this freebie page existed?

Wow, that page is really neat! It's cool how your pets 'pick' foods for themselves, although I have to wonder about my last three pets' tastes...

Cameron_Kirsten picked a Buttered Crumpet
Grace_Turner picked a Black Widow Truffle
Linden_Ashby picked a Black Widow Truffle
Sharon_Newman picked a Courgette Ice Cream

E-mail? Neomail? Didn't get a notice for either one... Hm. o_O

Thank you so much! I got some pretty decent foods.

I'm happy. A red dye egg, a sausage thing, and something else... can't remember. o.o I only have three pets, though, so I only got three items...

Hot Buttered Baguette, Snow Cake, and Sugared Meatballs. Plus the 2k. Thanks!

I got my 2K and something called a Nautilus, Meatless Meatballs, blueberry snow puff and Scary Soup.

I love this page! :hug:

EDIT: Oddly my pet won't eat the food it picked.

Hi there, arogance1!

We just wanted to send a quick email to let you know what has been going on with Neopets lately. Lots of new great games and features have been added over the last couple of months, and more are on the way!

This month sees the release of our Curse of Maraqua TCG set and storyline. Follow the adventures of Garin the Foolish as he attempts to re-discover the underwater city of Maraqua. There will be a grand battle for your Neopet to join in where they can choose to help Garin thwart evil pirates, or work for the dastardly Captain Scarblade.

Later on, a new species will be released. We are keeping it all rather hush-hush, but we can tell you it is reptilian, and is not cute!

Also, we've been busy adding great games such as :

Castle Battles - Medieval Castle-Smashing Mayhem
Ice Cream Machine - Back and tastier than ever!
Faerie Caves II - Fyora's latest puzzle game.
Check out New Features for the complete list of what has been added, and don't forget our Coming Soon page!

As a special bonus this month (because we are feeling generous), if you click on the icon below we will give you 2,000 NP and some free food for your Neopets. We know how hard it can be to buy from the shops

I can buy food!

Anyway, thanks again for signing up and we hope to see you in Neopia soon!

Yours Sincerely,
The Neopets Team

Ah. I got it now. Only you special Premium users got it, methinks.

I'm just a plain ol' normal user who has nothing better to do then stare at her computor all day...

Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:16 am

Really? I feel so unloved now...

Really. I checked my inbox, outbox, trash box, bulk box, cardboard box, plastic box, lunch box, and every other box I managed to find... and still no e-mail from them.

Maybe they just don't love me... :roll:

Mon Feb 28, 2005 9:40 am

I guess we just have to remember to go every month...

Mon Feb 28, 2005 2:19 pm

I realise that my pets got cheap taste and I dun think I can remember every month. I cannot even remember the half price day.

Maybe they didn't pick it for eating.

I got an email from them too and delated it. I thought it was someone trying to do a scam!
Though the freebie is good.

Mon Feb 28, 2005 3:17 pm

Hmmmmmm... could you enlighten me? Who received that? 18 y.o. or older USA residents?

If that is the case, this may be a test for neopets e-mail marketing. Soon they will be send offers from sponsors and such. You know, there is not such a thing as a free lunch... not even on Neopia. The number of visits to such page would be a great wevidence to luire partners to that particular form of advertising.

I can not see such act as something done without 2, 3, 4 hidden agendas.

We're sure you're aware of this month's nifty bonus or you wouldn't be here, but here's a rundown just in case.

Does that mean that its only for Febuary? Good thing I got it on the last day
