Does Similac know something I don't?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

B has been off of formula for about three months (since right before his birthday), and hasn't used name-brand Similac in probably three times that long. We actually switched to Up&Up because we no longer got coupons.

So why, after nine months of not giving them money, has Similac decided to send me $30 worth of coupon checks in the past two weeks ($15 of which came just today, in two separate envelopes)? I never got this much mail from them when I had a kid on formula. Not to mention they sent us a box of sample formula (two cans) about a month ago. For the love people.

We will be donating the cans to a shelter around here (when we find one) and I guess I'll save the coupons for SIL since she's TTC now and they have extended dates on them. But really, Similac, could you maybe think about updating your mailing lists before my kid heads off to college?

Contemplating the snow.

    We randomly got an invitation from Similac to join a rewards program in the mail. And I BF for 11 months. I probably only bought 6 cans of formula, ever. And I certainly am not buying any now. I agree, Similac is working off a mailing list 2 years old!

    I'm with you. My child was breast fed, but Similac kept sending us the checks. We have about $70 worth of them now. I think I'm going to use them to save up for our next baby or give them to the newborn twins next door.  So weird though since we've never bought from Similac!  And they sent my sister-in-law 4 free cans of formula and she doesn't even have children!

    I'm sure it's because of the recall.  They are trying to keep their "loyal" customers.  At least someone will benefit from the coupons.

    I got two separate packages of samples this week, with over $50 worth of checks.

    They must assume that once your kid is approaching two, surely you must be pregnant again..

    Ummm...

    If T's playgroup is any indication, then this is probably not far from the truth.

    Yeah I have no idea what is up with Similac's mailing list.

    About two month ago I got the 2 can sample package. Last week I got the new mom booklet/coupons.

    Tommy just turned a year old and they are finally sending out our samples and coupons... THANKS SIMILAC!

    Ironically we have not gotten any new checks or cans of formula, and DS is still on formula...

    I got that too today. One of them was welcoming me to Strong Moms which I joined when Owen wasn't even born. Then the other one had info in it about adjusting to a new baby. Strange. I said the same thing, maybe they are telling me I should have a baby. I gave the checks to my friend.

    This happened to me.  When I went in to their website and looked at my profile it changed DD's birth year from 09 to 10 so they thought she was just born.
