I crafted a nice reply and their email address the notification was sent to is bogus. I received a bounce back message so I went the extra mile and also sent it to a MillerCoors customer service email address I found quickly via quick search. I doubt it will get a response but it is worth a try. Below is my reply with my email addy edited of course :rockin:

Seeing as I registered right after the promotion became available and it remained available via your site for others to register to receive the glasses for days after, this appears to be a ploy to capture email address and contact info to use for another purpose and or sell the contact information to the highest bidder. Apparently MillerCoors has no real intentions of sending the glasses to any who signed up while the promotion was active and were told via your web portal upon completion of the request, would receive the promotional glasses. I respectfully request that you honor the promotion to those you indicated would receive the promotional glasses upon signing up for the promotion. Failure to do so will certainly result in many patrons including myself filling their glasses with another brewers product on St Patrick's day and beyond.

Sincerely,

A very disappointed longtime customer

It's clear that everyone is excited for St. Patrick's Day! Our "Get Your St. Pat's Pints" glassware offer was a big hit. In the last few days, we saw a lot of unexpected and unusual activity surrounding the promotion and we went through our supply of George Killian's pint glasses even more quickly than anticipated. Unfortunately, we got your code after supplies ran out. Thanks for drinking Killian's. Cheers!



Sincerely,

The George Killian's Team

Yup I as well received the email stating sorry we ran out of glasses....they should have made the website to quit accepting requests after a certain amount.

Got my e mail too. I feel like I've been had. Especially since they told me my glasses were on the way.

+1 on the confirmation that my glasses were shipped. Somebody in marketing really f@cked up!
I'll not "enjoy" their product again, that's for sure. I can certainly brew better beer anyway!
 
My "sorry we ran out of glasses" email showed up in my gmail spam folder. Since I do not use this email account for much it will be readily apparent if they start using the info from the form to start spamming me. Will hold my hate mail until then.:(
 
I'll be very curious to find out if anybody out of all of us actually gets the glasses.
 
I took Toga's lead and sent an email as well. Here is the response I got from MillerCoors:

Hello,

You can call the customer service line for brand promotions at 800-253-6666, they are open Monday-Friday 11am-8pm CST. They are who you would need to speak with about the promotion.

Thanks,

I just recieved a e-mail from tem saying that they weren't going to send me mine because they ran out!
 
I got on the website on the 19th and filled out their form. Yesterday I also received the "you are not going to get free glasses" from them.
 
I got the message in my spam folder also. I also sent a pretty nasty email back requesting that they delete my information from any mailing list or database (yea, right) since they did not follow through with their offer.

Havent got an email back, yet.

Where I come from, this is how we say F**K YOU

:rockin:

I wouldn't recommend anyone waste time calling...........I personally wasted enough time giving them my info and sending an email to which I got no response.................Shrug it off, brew something tasty, and move on :mug:
 
I received an email instructing me to click on the unsubscribe link at the footer of their email. Then when you scroll down there was no footer.

I emailed back and told them that I was embarrassed for them and that they must be drinking too much of their product!
 
I got a response from them after my nasty(ish) email. Here’s what they said (my email is below). I might take them up on this offer and call them about it just for S&G. I X'ed out the case #.

Thank you for contacting MillerCoors.

We are sorry for the confusion. Due to the immense interest in this promotion due to unaffiliated third party sites publishing promotion codes, we saw a dramatic and unexpected spike in requests through the promotion page over a short period of time and went through our supply much more quickly than anticipated. Emails have been sent letting consumers know about the huge spike in interest and whether we got their code before supplies ran out. We understand your frustration.

We assure you that we only asked for contact information to allow us to ship glasses to those who submitted codes in time. Our Privacy Policy provides that we will not use or share your personal information for any other purpose without your consent.

We would like to have an opportunity to gather additional information from you and would appreciate your calling us at 1-800-645-5376 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday or between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Thursday, excluding holidays. Please reference case # XXX when you call so that we can better serve you.

We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

MillerCoors Consumer Affairs Department

Please delete the personal information that I provided in exchange for the glasses. I find it offensive and obstructive to offer a free item offer and mistakenly count your supplies vs. requests. Your offer website was open for many days after my request was made, so you have many other peoples personal information as well.
