Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Q: Does it cost anything to join the text club or receive any of the offers on this page?(No, you only pay your normal text messaging rates, so be sure to check those before you text. Unlike some other text services & contests, we do not charge extra fees to participate).
2. Q: How do I redeem coupons through these offers?(In most cases, shortly after you text the keyword for the offer you choose, you will receive a "confirmation" text from the webmaster with your coupon. You do not need to print out the coupon, simply show the message to the staff at the participating business-show them the confirmation message on your phone- to redeem the coupon or take advantage of the special offer).
3. Q: How many times can I take advantage of the offers?(Most offers will have a limit of one per person. However, some offers can have differing rules & conditions, so be sure to check with the participating business for more specific questions about the offers listed here).
4. Q: How many messages will I receive if I respond to the offers listed here?(Not many. In most cases you will receive an initial "confirmation" message that includes your "coupon" for use at the participating business, as detailed above. You may periodically receive other offers & messages that we think you will be interested in).
5. Q: How can I STOP messages from coming?(Easy. We're not interested in any unhappy listeners or customers. If you decide you'd rather NOT receive any more messages, there are several ways to tell us. To opt out of receiving alerts, you can: reply (text) the word STOP, then a space, then the keyword of the offer you originally responded to. For example, if you text in for an offer for discounted shoes at 'shoes985' and later choose NOT to receive advertisements from the shoe store, text STOP shoes985 to the number you sent the original text message to (usually 51684). Or, send an email to textclubhelp@firstmedianc.com with instructions that you wish to be opted out of email/text club alerts. If at any time you are unsatisfied with these avenues, call the station offices during regular business hours (M-F, 9am-5pm).
