Dove offer US only?

  I hear that some WGT member have been getting lots of free golf balls.

  This is really taking the piss WGT. Dove products are available worldwide, why not this offer.

  The US players get all the surveys and other good offers, and now this.

  Why are they so favoured. The rest of us spend dollars on here.

  If offers like these are not available for all players, they shouldn't be available to anyone.

  Sort it out.

  I totally agree with what you are saying,maybe wouldn't of worded it that way :0).When the dove balls were made available and i enquired as to how to get them a US member i was playing with didn't realise Dove was a worldwide product,on a lighter note maybe Dove thought the US players needed educating on neutral ph products so dangled a carrot in order to get there attention (JOKE) b4 i get chastised lol

       In regards to your last comment,we have a saying in England....what's good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

  Hi

  unfortunately, this has been discussed at length. personally I do not know for sure how this is done but I suspect, Dove USA is running this promotion, hence targeted it for USA players only.

  not much we can do on our end

  I can understand that. I have been on here long after to see how this works. WGT shouldn't be running this unfair promotion, so there is lots you can do. Don't WGT have any control on what interfaces with this site.

  BUT listen carefully and pass this message on to those that can do something about this.

  For a significant number of WGT members the offers and surveys don't work for us. Unless WGT continue to be generous with some free ball offers then anyone outside the USA will continue to be overlooked.

  While this is great for a lot of your players this sucks for the rest of us. It is unfair.

  This may upset those that are benefitting from these offers, but something that is free should be available to ALL or not be available for anyone. It's galling to see Americans responding to people complaining about surveys etc. when they get all the perks.

  Another solution is for WGT to get some of these offers working outside The USA.

  For longer than I remember this is the list of Get Free Credits offers I have had available, and some of them I can't use outside of the USA anyway.

  Australian Jade

  Crowdflower - 8 laughable credits, why not remove it.

  Mundo Virtual - 8 credits - see above

  Grassroots Soccer

  Busted Tees

  Buy clothes thingy.

  Serenaflowers

  Retel

  PC Repair Clinic

  Advance Registry

  PC Repair Clinic

  & a Sampilicious that has got me screened to never comply with a survey.

  Completely useless to me. Seeing as I don't know anyone to buy flowers or sports equipment for, I don't need to waste money on computer clean up stuff, I don't want any Jade.

  I might donate to African football kids, but that is beside the point.

  If this is all anyone got, then fine. But that others get substantially more from surveys and offers applicable to them really sucks.

  TBH. We buy a fair few Dove products. Probably at least as many as those in The USA taking advantage of this offer.

  I don't even mind that US players get these offers as long as someone throws us a promotional bone once in a while.

  There doesn't seem to be any country specific rules in place when we are buying their credits with our credit cards. Pass the message up Icon and ask for some universal offers to be looked into. It's 2011, get Global FFS.

  I am American, too.
