Did You Receive the FREE Advil Coupon in Your Sunday Paper too?

UPDATE: If you received this offer, the site is finally working to request your FREE coupon!

Well guess what? Smack dab on the my cover of today’s (8/21) Sunday newspaper wrap was a coupon with a unique code redeemable for a FREE bottle of Advil vial mail when you go to Advil.com/freeoffer. I’m not sure if this was released nationwide so be sure to let us know if you scored this coupon as well. 😀

(thanks @Jess)

    Nope we didnt get one in the Tulsa OK area or Muskogee OK area. We get both papers.

  • Jennifer August 21, 2011, 3:43 PM

    Nothing for the LA Times recipients in So Cal…

    • Roland August 21, 2011, 3:54 PM

      That’s strange because I get the LA Times too. Check again!

      • Jennifer August 22, 2011, 12:28 AM

        Nothing there. Perhaps I should specify Inland Empire. And if I was supposed to get one I wouldn’t put it past the carrier to keep them. Yes I said it. It took that person 4 days and 10 phone calls to replace my rain damaged papers a few weeks ago.

  • joann August 21, 2011, 3:53 PM

    We did not in Fort Worth, Tx

  • Lisa August 21, 2011, 3:53 PM

    No, not in my paper in Michigan.

  • Kathleen August 21, 2011, 3:59 PM

    None with the Houston Chronicle.

    • MAndy August 21, 2011, 10:29 PM

      I got one with the Houston Chronicle this morning. It was in a pouch on the front of the plastic bag the paper comes in.

  • Shannon August 21, 2011, 4:00 PM

    I got one with my Houston Chronicle.

  • shana August 21, 2011, 4:03 PM

    Yes – in NC, the card was on one of the papers I get. BUT…LOL… their website is not accepting the code I received. Oh well… 🙁 It’s causing quite a stir over on Advil’s Facebook page. Some people think the offer has already been depleted. I guess it’s possible, since the free Dentek sample code that was in my SS wasn’t accepted either stating they were all out of samples already. (just received the paper today…)

    • Pat August 24, 2011, 10:54 PM

      I am in NC and starting trying on Sunday after I got the coupon in my newspaper and it keeps telling me it’s an invalid number. I don’t think they had any valid numbers to start with

  • susie August 21, 2011, 4:05 PM

    Nope nothing for advil we also didn’t get any coupons in our paper at all. In the Kingsport Times News.

  • Amy August 21, 2011, 4:08 PM

    Not in the St Petes Times in Fl.

    • Nancy Stafford August 21, 2011, 7:56 PM

      It was in my St. Pete Times in Clearwater, Florida. Got the Saving Please wait early this morning, left it, went to church, came back many hours later and it was still spinning. I may try again another day.

  • Kim August 21, 2011, 4:22 PM

    I have LA Times too.. no advil in there =(

  • Gina August 21, 2011, 4:30 PM

    Not in the Chattanooga Free Times

  • Jessica August 21, 2011, 4:40 PM

  • Nancy August 21, 2011, 4:48 PM

  • Terri Emmendorfer August 21, 2011, 4:50 PM

    I got mine in the AZ. replubic paper today. At first I tryed to enter the web site it had on the card but it didnt work then I came across this and clicked on the web here and enter all 4 of my codes ( I get 4 papers every sunday for coupons ).I got through on 1 code but just to the mailing address part still waitting for that to go through. T.E

  • Ann August 21, 2011, 5:00 PM

    I got a coupon, but couldn’t get it to work. I put in the code & it said “saving, please wait. 10 minutes later, it was still “saving”, so I gave up. I hope it wasn’t some scam that was hacking my computer during that 10 minutes.

    • LUCY August 21, 2011, 7:14 PM

      MINE IS DOING THAT “SAVING” THING RIGHT NOW – BEEN DOING IT FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES!!

    • MaryAnn LaBella August 21, 2011, 7:18 PM

      Same thing happened to me – it is still saving my code I think this is just a scam – why did’t Advil just put a coupon in the paper

  • Denise Donahue August 21, 2011, 5:18 PM

    None here in Dixfield, Maine 🙁

  • Carter August 21, 2011, 5:42 PM

    We got 3 sample boxes of cereal.

  • Joe August 21, 2011, 6:16 PM

    Got the coupon but just like many others, have had no luck trying to redeem it. The website just says “Saving. Please wait.” But 20 minutes later it was still doing that. I tried a different computer, but same problem. They either don’t have enough bandwidth for the traffic they’re getting or they only had a few to give out and they were gone instantly. Either way, lousy job on Advil’s part. Something like this should generate good PR, not negative.

  • Lori August 21, 2011, 6:20 PM

    The card was attached to our paper here in Keizer, Oregon. However, it doesn’t make it through to the next stage after entering it in to website box it and clicking submit. Either too many people are trying to submit it or they have exceeded their quantity of coupons.

    • Lori August 21, 2011, 6:25 PM

      After spinning for over 10 minutes I finally got through. There just must be too many people trying to access the website today. I completed the form, selected the Advil Coupon I wanted, and then clicked submit. Now I am back to spinning trying to send in the form.

  • xylo August 21, 2011, 6:57 PM

    received insert in my paper in pa. went to advil website. it told me the free coupon offer is over. the site told me to print their $2 off coupon. seems as though this offer was too good to be true.

  • Mary August 21, 2011, 7:07 PM

    The coupon was in the wrapper of the paper….not in the paper itself.

  • Sara August 21, 2011, 7:22 PM

    We got it in the Denton, TX paper but the website must be overwhelmed. It got stuck on ‘saving your code”. I’ll try again later.

  • Alyssa August 21, 2011, 7:36 PM

    I also received this coupon and it continues to just spin and do the saving please wait thing. I tried using Mozilla Firefox and also Internet explorer to make sure this wasn’t an internet browser problem. I guess no one is going to be able to get this….

  • Kristen August 21, 2011, 7:46 PM

    Nothing in WI

  • MaryAnn August 21, 2011, 7:47 PM

    Is this code different for everyone who got it?? We didnt get it
    here in Tx.

  • Theresa August 21, 2011, 8:31 PM

  • Candace August 21, 2011, 8:52 PM

    I received it on the wrapper of my Sunday paper (Cincinnati Enquirer). I haven’t tried to enter the code.

  • Jenny August 21, 2011, 9:53 PM

    I received one in the wrapper of my local Anderson Hearld today. So far i’ve not been able to find any coupons for free Advil & Advil P M! ?????

  • deborah higgins August 22, 2011, 8:31 AM

    left my request for 24 hours and it didnt go through. bad pr from advil they should not send this coupon if they can not support the deal. i use advil but i will find another product that doesnt have a false ad

  • John August 22, 2011, 9:31 AM

    Received in newspaper bag, but like other responders have had no luck getting Advil website to accept my info. I have gone from neutral to negative on Advil….

  • steve August 22, 2011, 10:18 AM

    I got mine Sunday and it would not go through, today it’s said invalid code.

  • Gayl August 22, 2011, 11:21 AM

    Coupon was in the Tucson Daily Star. I have spent two days trying to get through. Yesterday (Sunday) it was as described by others. Couldn’t get past the “Saving, please wait message.” Today it refused to accept either of my two e-mail addresses, saying they weren’t legit. I tried calling the Advil 800 number but a recorded voice said they had more calls than normal (no kidding!), to call back at another time, and hung up on me! Advil surely needs to gets its act together! No way to treat customers!

  • katherine August 22, 2011, 11:24 AM

    its ok i didn’t get my paper yesterday called had them re deliver the guy shows up but no coupons inside what so ever so i call back he was suppose to redeliver another one one with my dang coupons and did he nope he never showed up so i payed for a paper that i didn’t get tell 2pm and with no coupons. i was mad i think he took them it wasn’t the first time ether

  • Crystal Greenland August 22, 2011, 11:54 AM

  • Pat Rothe August 22, 2011, 4:42 PM

    Recieved it with the St. Paul Pioneer Press, but like the others, have had no luck entering it.

  • Kayte August 22, 2011, 7:41 PM

    Got the coupon in Youngstown, OH, but the website is “being renewed”. HA!

  • John August 23, 2011, 10:52 AM

    Just completed the form successfully, although the “type the two words” security code at the bottom is a little tricky.

  • Patti August 23, 2011, 11:10 AM

    We got one in our Bradenton, Fl paper. But can’t get a free coupon

  • steve August 23, 2011, 11:25 AM

    I got a hold of customer service yesterday and she said the web page would be working today. Well guess what it’s not. Code still says invalid.

  • Jennifer Saele August 24, 2011, 8:40 PM

    Didn’t get anything in the Chicago Tribune. Too bad.

  • erica August 24, 2011, 8:49 PM
