It’s kind of the double-edged sword of r/freebies and similar pages: you want to share deals with the homies but the more people that participate, the less likely the deals will be fulfilled or available. Not exactly for this “deal”, but just in general.
Our website displayed an error during our Black Friday sale and made many of our loyal Wheel Watchers think we were giving away free hoodies!
Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. However, we’d be thrilled if you spin the wheel with us again and save 15% on your next order by using code HOODIE during checkout. Simply enter the code before you checkout when you shop with us next!
For further clarity; Wheel of Fortune Shop (the officially licensed retailer with whom you are corresponding) encountered a technical error in which our system displayed a $0 value for our 2XL sized hoodie for a limited period of time during our Black Friday Sale. During the aforementioned period of time, other unofficial sources publicized the error as an “offer”. This was simply not true, and was never advertised as such in any way by this store or its official sources.
Rather, those additional sites exploited the system error and encouraged unknowing consumers to take advantage of this. As we value our customers greatly, we have extended the offer above to each of you as a gesture of sincerity and encouragement to make a valid purchase with us.
Thanks so much for your understanding as a valued ‘wheel watcher’.
I just got an email explaining the situation as to what happened. I’ll just copypasta it below:

Yup They sent me an email explaining it was an error and basically was “computer fraud”. Seemed more like legal posturing to avoid paying out what they advertised. Lawyers.

Bankrupt audience groan.
Still have yet to receive my email from them
Edit: Just got it, sad day

But at least they took all of our information down so you know…great
Blame that one guy, that other guys friend, and that other dude.
Thanks to that one dudes friend who ordered 2,000
They’re on to us, scatter!
I figured that would be the outcome, but I don’t regret giving it a shot. I had nothing to lose by trying. Oh well, on to the next one.
I found my cancelled order email in my spam box. I think Pat Sajak is the one who stopped all the freebies from going out!

My 1 million hoodie order shipped. I can’t find my house anymore. I can’t find my family. All there is is hoodies. Help

This was probably an accident on their part…not an actual freebie unfortunately
Bweeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooo.
If only you guys had ordered in the form of a question, none of ours would be in… jeopardy.
My gf and I got our cancelled emails as well. We expected it but that would’ve been a dope house hoodie.
Do they get to keep all our personal data now?
Got mine this morning 🙁
Mine still says it’s confirmed.
Just like when the PS3s were $40 from Target over one weekend in 2011. They always cop out saying error on the website or whatever.
There was one guy on twitter the day it was live and ordered 1million
Same
Same! Bummer!
They probably got bankrupt
I received my cancelation email earlier today as well, better luck next time folks
Yep, me too. Was hoping it would slide thru, but oh well.
Same here, was expecting it anyway
Mine too
i knew it. i received the email yesterday.
I got my email this morning. Now I have to buy one more Xmas gift.
We can’t let them get away with this
I just got the cancelled order email myself lol.
Should have known that was TGTBT.

How unfortunate
I was hoping they’d be cool and send them out to anyone not asshole enough to order more than one.
