Restaurant Freebies ... An Ongoing Saga Continues

I've been bemoaning the fact that most restaurants stopped giving out freebies for completing a customer service survey, and instead enter you in a monthly drawing. Since neither I, nor anyone else I know has ever won a monthly restaurant drawing, I decided to track how long it takes until I get lucky.

So far, no winning tickets for restaurant monthly drawings. This week I completed surveys for Lowe's (yes, I know it's not a restaurant but a $2,500 home improvement gift card would be a nice win nevertheless), Panera, Sizzler, and Radio Shack, which I ducked into to buy a phone line splitter. When I paid, my receipt showed I would be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 drawing. In addition, by completing the survey I got a coupon good for $10 off my next purchase of $40, so that's a good deal too.

I'm still looking to win my first monthly drawing, and I'll let you know when I do. No luck so far...
