I agree to the Terms and Conditions
i would like to get a free t- shirt
big fan fare about free t-shirt-open specially marked box NO CODE INSIDE ! what a joke!
i would a free signature t-shirt.
no code found
no code found
I saw this advertised on the box in a grocery flyer this week. I checked online for more info & I came across the old promo for vintage shirts I missed out on that one. How strange that there’s no code inside these specially-marked boxes. They’ll probably be getting emails about this since people aren’t finding codes inside these boxes.
daughter saw the box would like t-shirt
the format of the code shown on the website is not matching with the format in the box.
Can’t understand why everyone having a problem entering for t-shirt just look on the inside of the box cut it open that’s where the code is!
Found the code in the specially marked boxes and had no problems entering the code. The tees look great and kudoos to generalmills for this promo!!
looks totally canadian
hi!!!!!!!!
I love my new T-shirt very much thank-you
code invaled hi….
BS..code on box is not accepted at their website…sounds like a scam to me!
Got to the site could not open to enter my code????
Unable to enter code
Could not enter code
if you read fully you can find everything you need I submitted no problem thank you I just love the t-shirt
I filled out the form and got to step 3. Every time I fill out the form and press CONTINUE, I get sent back to step 3.I checked all of the info and made sure it was properly filled out, still no luck-HELP!!!!
no code in my box!!
I could not complete the info asked about my grandaughter,who is 11 years old, so I ordered her one under my name in medium, and it went through.
thanks for this offer. Red is my colour
I guess if you read the instructions properly it is easy to get your free t-shirt, duh!
How can you tell if you received my order???????
My code got accepted…but how about answering the various concerns above on line.
I love the cereal very much and got excited about the free shirt. But I can’t find the order form for the shirt.
Someone forgot to put it on the website.
Where do I put the code number?
Jim.
no problem filling in the form and finding the code-can hardly wait for a free t shirt—thanks
What a scam! My daughter wants this T-shirt in the worst way. We could not enter the code in the “enter it now” box.
practice patience and perserverence when entering codes online. Sometimes there are technical problems and you might have to try again. I entered for two shirts with no problem
i would a free “signature t-shirt, for an adult -x-large.
I think its very origanal idea as the maple leaf is made up of signatures.I will love to wear it on Canada Day .I was unable to enter my code as well as the size which would youth Lg.or ladies small.Thank you very much General Mills.
A real good idea
Great Idea
Umm.. I opened the box and step 1 says to go to the website and enter the code. and under step 1 is a large box… there’s supposed to be a code in it right? Cuz i don’t see the code ANYWHERE!!! D<
Bought 4 Boxes: 3 out of 4 boxes DID NOT have the CODE INSIDE, 1 Did though!!! WTF General Mills, someone from the company needs to find a solution or your going to have lots of returns.
my box has no code inside,
It’s my b-bay sunday, 12 iwould love a T
I think supporting the athletes in everyway possible is great. wearing red, following them on their journey…..
thought I was going to get a t-shirt but said my email address wasn’t right. It’s the only address I have so what kind of boloney is that. I would have been nice, what kind of contest is this?
is a great pleasure two suport our athletes.
I didn’t get confirmation on my entry. please reply
like how do u put ur code in
Any concerns should go directly to General Mills. Sounds like some of the boxes may not have codes inside as per Chris who bought 4 boxes and only had a code inside 1. ** DEALCETERA ONLY INFORMS YOU OF SPECIAL OFFERS AND DEALS AVAILABLE **
I could not enter the code????
I had no problem entering the code, why is everyone having problems?
Go to to link under “To claim your free T-Shirt” & follow the steps, I have done this 3 times with no problems
Be sure to use Capital Letters when entering your code & dont forget to click “Accept these terms” when completing
I wish I could order 2 more for my daughters.
How can my e-mail not be in the correct formatt?
NO CODE IN BOX.. what the heck.
Wow, great idea. Too bad there is no code provided. Do you need a special magic box? Got any plans on rectifying the problem?
please sent me one of the nice t shirts
cool FREE t-shirt…WHY NOT!!!!
THANKS
i would like a t- shirt . i love canada

I TRIED TO ORDER A T SHIRT AND IT WOULDNT ACCEPT THE CODE THAT WAS ON THE INSIDE OF MULTI GRAIN CHERRIOS WHY DO THEY NOT PUT THE CORRECT CODE ON THE BOX
how doenter because I can`t get on the sumit board,anybody?…………………………………………………………WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!(for god sake!)
I would like support our athletes
I woula love to support the athletes on every team
i want to get the free tees……
i would love to have a t-shirt.
Hi Our code box was blank! I looked everywhere on the box but no luck. Could you send me a t-shirt. Thanks
opened the box and NO CODE what’s up with this promo.
please note order for robert reid should be sized at 48 thankyou
THanks!!!
please send me a t-shirt
size mens large
please send me a mens large t-shirt
you make no mention on the box as to codes only in special boxes. i think this is grounds for false advertising and open to litigation
So much for your FREE “Signature” T-shirt, there’s no code inside the box, this is SCAM! and I’m NOT impressed and this smells of false advertising. No where on the advertising does it say only certain boxes will have a code, it makes you think EVERY box would have a code. What a serious disappointment.
No code found
Wish I could have specified a men’s t shirt. They are more comfortable than a woman’s x- large
Please send me a women medium t-shirt
bought 2 boxes, no codes inside, what gives!?
No Code inside!
thank you for the tee- shirt
I put the size as adult large. Why did it change to a youth?
I would be inclined to return the cereal if there is no code inside the special boxes and get another one until I got one with a code. Obviously, there has been an error made at General Mills.
i love the t-shirts and i cant wait till mine comes
got to the site and then i couldn’t enter my code…clicked on the link and nothing happened..what the heck??
I would like to have a free t shirt, but unable to enter the code…
Says E-mail address not right format. Don’t understand as that is my address Code is [removed by admin] would like xl ladies [removed by admin]
Had no problem finding the code or submitting it.
If you don’t have a code contact General Mills and tell them.
M8N40-2T5H0-F575
You are probably missing clicking the box in the agreement, you must scroll down. Check your error messages.
I gave u a valid code, just finished the box of cereal, and u tell me it is already used. How many boxes of cereal have the same code. How unfair. Go through all that touble and for nothing.
Not impressed at all.
NO Code in BOX… Along with putting TSP in their cereals which is a powerful cleaning agent used for toilet bowl cleaner and many other types of anti mildew and floor cleaners… they scam you on t-shirts too.
I have the code and I’m on the right site. It tells me to “enter it now”, but clicking on the button does nothing. Can’t enter my code!!! What’s the deal with that.
form will not take our postal code so can’t send
won’t let me enter the code, what’s the deal ?
big waste of time, I’ll avoid there products for a while. I didn’t print an invalid code, they did.
i what a free te srit
i don’t have a code either what the heck ! that sucks so much for the free shirt !
Awesome Honey nut Cheerios . Love em with milk or in my yogurt
I have a code inside the box, but it consists of 25 digits, when only 14 is allowed. Short size I would like: XL (XLL best)
I had no problems with ordering, so for those who did, I am wondering:
1) Did you look for the code printed on the inside of the box, not in the bag?
2) Did you enter the code, as well as the security code at the bottom of the online form, EXACTLY as printed? …such as O not 0, A not a, f not 1 (sometimes the letters/numbers are hard to read!)Try again!
I wish all the athletes good luck in the olympics
I can’t put in my e-mail. Keeps saying it’s in the wrong format. How very Canadian. You get nothig for free in Canada. You just pay. General Mills. Very Canadian.
Very frustrating but finally got it.
Love to have a T shirt
I would like to receive a T Shirt Your cereal has agood flavor I eat it for breakfast every morning
how do I sign up for the T shirt
Eat this cereal every morning for breakfast . Very good
this ceareal is the best
Terrific idea, would like to have a T-shirt to wear, but there was no code in our box!!
I too would have liked to get a shirt - bought 2 boxes, neither had a code - what a rip-off
I bought a box ofmulti Cereal and inside was only a square box, no code. I would like a shirt too in size med, ladies. Thank-you.
yes thank you I would like to receive a t-shirt
strange(easy as 1-2-3)call me ill guide you through come CANADA lets go
where do I enter the code
I also had no code: I love your multi-grain cheerios
i bought 2 boxes and no code. what’s going on? you can explain to my 7 yr. old son. multi-grain cheerios are his favourite he was disappointed about the t-shirt
Would not let me enter my code for the t-shirt. Code #[removed by admin]. I Men’s Large T-Shirt please
Would like one (1) youth small
code [removed by admin]
What a rip off! You can’t even enter the “correct” code from the cereal box!
What are you people trying to prove buy false advertising to all of these customers, that can’t even get a free advertised item! Not very smart, if you want people to buy your product again! I think NOT!
Holy Lordy! Again, Dealcetera only provides Info. on Deals and Special Offers available. This should be taken up directly with General Mills.
Why are some putting their codes on here?
I’ve order two shirts now and no problems. Here’s a tip, when putting in your code make sure that your caps lock is in.
I came onto the General Mills site to order a T shirt, and when I pressed “enter now” nothing happened. Why is the site not allowing me to order my Olympic T-shirt??
VERIFICATION CODE IS REJECTED ,EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TRIED A NUMBER OF TIMES.IS THERE A SYSTEM PROBLEM?
I went to Step one and filled out my info and got the message the my email address was no the correct format. I tried three different email addresses that I have and none of them were accepted. I have read a lot of negative comments on this web page. Is this a scam???? or poor web design??? or just plain dishonest???
Love General Mills cereal,we had no problems entering our codes. We can’t wait to get our t-shirts. Thank you!
wow u dont get this offer tht much in life<3

Had no problem. Thanks
For all of you that are having problems when entering your code. I was having the same problem as most of you, it would not except my postal code. enter it in capitals and when i was entering my code, it rejected my code and said it was invalid. Enter your code in lower case, including the letters. after i did this my code was excepted.. now i sit and wait for my t-shirt to wear proudly.. thanks general mills..
It will not let me enter the code.

BUT THEY KEPT SAYING MY POSTAL CODE

I enjoy waking up each morning to have my Multi Grain Cherrios. Love them. Bought one box entered code and I had no problem with the order. I bought another box and found no code inside! Very disappointed I am trying to get one for my husband and two teenage children, supporting the Canadian Athletes is a great way to show how proud we are of them.
won’t confirm….poor promo for kids…
there was no 6 digit number in my box to complete the application.
Just wondering! There is regular and multi-grain cereal. Can we do a poll here? If you received a code .. did you buy regular or mult-grain? It is possible General Mills omitted to put a code in one or the other by error. Would be interesting to see what everyone says. Maybe we can figure this out.
Has anyone called the General Mills Customer Services Line @ 1-800-516-7780 to find out what’s going on here?
honeynut cheerios is my favorite cereal.It is delicious tasting and is very healthy for you.
I would really like to get a T-shirt, I am really looking forward to watching the Olympics on TV in 2010.

wish you luck team Canada. I hope I can receive my t-shirt soon. I love to eat multigrain cheerios everyday. The code on my box of multi-grain Cheerios is:
D9CRCR23184704 A. My size is: Youth-Large, My address is: 3128 Silverthrone Drive, Coquitlan, B.C. Canada V3E 3B1.
There was no code inside my box either. I called, they took the information, said there must have been a printing error, and gave me a code to use. This code was incorrect and not accepted on the website. Whatever. If it were for something more than a t-shirt, I’d try harder but I don’t want the shirt that badly.
Yes I found only a blank box where the code was to be found for the free tee????
I had no trouble entering for the free t-shirt. Followed the instructions and wala shirt will arrive in 6-10 weeks. I agree to the fact that some boxes DO NOT have code but look at box it is probably OLD STORE STOCK I too have the right cereal but no code.JUST LOOK FOR THE SHIRT PROMOTION on front of box before purchacing.GOOD LUCK
WHY? Would you have a promotional deal available to the canadian public and not have the site available to receive our codes which I have found one in my box of cereal. I have tried several times to enter my code. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?????
Both of us will be very proud to wear
the ‘T-Shirt’ that your company has to
regonize or ‘GAMES’.
THANKS
multi.grain cheerios are the best they are better then the original
I have Cheerios every morning with frui. It is simply the best.
If you don’t have a code, call:
1-800:767-5350.
Customer Service will give you the number!
Bought 5 boxes of cereal out of which 2 did not have codes.
Unable to enter the code. It would not accept any of the codes & I must have entered the correct code several times as I kept trying with each new code sent.

i love generalmills cereal
P.s
Love your cereal
I AM A CEREAL KIND OF GUY
i followed all yhe instructions but the information would not go foreward—- Is this a scam or what????????????
I riped my cereal box apart and I couldnt find any code. I thought it may be hidden under the glued flaps, no such luck. I entered every “code” i could find in the box (even the upc) and nothing worked. I guess I got a dud. Very disapointed. I promised my daughter that we would order the t-shirt when she finnished the cereal, and now I get to let her down. Not happy General Mills.
Great Offer!
Great Offer!
great cereal
Got same problem re: email address.
Not Happy.
Tried to enter 2 different codes, both codes came up as invalid code. What a scam this is to get you to buy their cereal.
I have ordered two shirts for my grandson and I have received confirmation numbers for both of my orders. I plan to have the shirts framed and will hang the two shirts in his bedroom. He is only two yrs old but this will be a great memento for him when he gets older.I can understand the frustration some of you out there are experiencing as I had the same issue (invalid code) when I placed my first order. Once I realized that I was misreading the code number on the inside of the box and made the recessary corrections, the order went through without a hitch. The second order was easy as pie!! Read the codes carefully (the font used is rather illegible)and capitalize all the letters in the code and you should get things done.
I followed the instructions, i.e., entered my code but the reply was “code used”. It was the code that was on the cereal box. What gives??
they didn’t ask for the code
when is it gonna arive
Hi I would like the free t-shirt
I tried filling out the from but it kept saying that my email format was incorrect and I couldn’t move on. I would love to have my free T-Shirt. Thank-You.
Excuse me,but i take offence to asking for date of birth. Age should be sufficient which is also questionable.We purchased your products and wish to participate but cannot for the above reason. we have three codes to enter but will have to refrain. you require too much personal infomation. Consideration will be given as to further purchases of your products.
can’t wait to receive the t-shirt. thanks
nothing exept eximent
where do I enter the code?
I am a Special Olympic athlete so know how hard the Olympic Athletes have to train
Would love to have a T shirt so my wife and I can wear them at the same time
I have redeemed 4 codes so far for friends and family and they have been accepted with no problems.
HEATHER … CONGRATULATIONS on being a Special Olympics Athlete. I wish you well! (Interested in knowing what sport you participate in).
would like a shirt code M5F00-2N1W7-W811
MSFOO-SPOW8-H712
THIS IS MY ENTRY CODE—
AM I TOO LATE TO ENTER FOR A FREE TEE-SHIRT,TODAY’S DATE IS AUG6th2009
It’s a great idea,but after”numerous” attempts to enter the passcode(which by the way was not the most legible)I was denied entry.
What now??
They’ve just added a new style of t-shirt in addtion to the red there’s now also a white with ‘2010′ on th front.
I phoned regarding no code on the free tee shirt promotion and was told to cut out the barcode and send it to General Mills Canada. Guess its not completely free after all, hope i get it.
There is no code any where on the box, I entered every number I could find and still nothing. I’m really disappointed in companies that say you can get something for free and then when you do, you don’t have all the info to complete the task then we end up here complaining about them, do they even get these messages or read them. I hope to get an answer and then I can get my T-shirt.
I have bought the correct cereal box only to find the code was not printed in the box. What to do now?????
No code in my cereal box. Very disappointing.
I ordered my shirt 4 weeks ago when the promo started - still have not received it…I am not pleased with this ‘free offer’.
Your free “Signature” T-shirt will arrive in the mail in 6 to 10 weeks.
I have to agree with everyone else. I opened my box of multigrain Cheerios and there was just a blank box. NO CODE
I would really like my free T-Shirt too.
Is General Mills making this right?
Do we still get out T-Shirt? We did our part and purchased the cereal.
great cereal
I have a valid code for a free “signature” t-shirt. Would you tell make how I can recieve a free t-shirt since you site would not allowed me to enter my code. Thank you.
how do I get to write the code.I cannot get into the website
no code marked inside the box - what is the deal here , only include din a random number of boxes - FALSE ADVERTISING
i just received my T-shirt and it is AWESOME! Good quality cotton.
Thank you!
and thank you to all our Canadian athletes. Let’s remember to support them in every way we can.
I ordered my t-shirt on July 2 and it arrived today…that’s about 5 1/2 weeks. It’s good quality, a nice shirt…if you don’t mind the fact that it says “Cheerios” on the back!!! ![]()
…as well as “Vancouver 2010 Official supplier”.
Cannot enter the code
cannot enter click on enter no response
Cannot enter code!!
Out of t-shirts already?!
would really love to receive a t-shirt for myself and share the dream with our olympians.
tried to enter the code and can’t do it what is wrong??? am not the only one as I can gather - I would like a size medium for adults. Thanks, let me know if I am ok.
I found the code but could not find where to enter the code
I would like the women’s large please.
BOUGHT 2 BOXES OF CEREAL, SO BOTH MY DAUGHTERS COULD GET A TSHIRT. NO CODE-WHATS THE DEAL? I NOTCE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING. PLEASE BE KIND AND SEND 2 SHIRTS -YOUTH M&l TO MALLORY’S 7 SPRUCE CRES. ST ALBERT AB T8N 0H4. I AM DISSAPOINTED IN THIS FALSE ADVERTISING.
To all the people who are trying to complain or order t-shirts here: I’m pretty sure you should be contacting generalmillspaintthetownred.ca, NOT this website. General Mills can’t correct the problem umless they get your message!
Julie - Is this not the generalmillspaintthetownred.ca?
No, this website has info on all kinds of ‘deals’, General Mills being one of them. When you type in the website listed on the cereal box, choose the top listing (at least it is on my computer) that says ONLY “C’mon Canada! Let’s Paint the Town Red!”. All those other sites merely refer to the GM offer! On the GM website I see there is a Contact Us section at the bottom, with a toll-free hotline: 1-800-516-7780. The offer is good until October, so I hope all those who have been disappointed so far can still get their free t-shirts! No I don’t work for GM, just trying to help, so if anyone has questions call that number!
We bought the cereal with the red t-shirt on it and entered the codes with no problem. Go team Canada.
really like the oatmeal crisp with the berry’s
great stuff my breaky in morn.
Julie - Thank you for directing us to the proper website. With your kind help, I was able to order my shirt.
I alexis thank you would like a t shirt for my granddaughter
Would like a t-shirt adult men XL I DO HAVE A CODE FROM CEREALS. wHERE DO i enter
I am trying to get shirts for my grandsons, I ordered one putting in my code, but think I forgot to enter his last name,the order was accepted, I got his accepted code number but am wondering if it went thru O.K. I tried to resubmit the order but could not because I had already used my code. So far I have mot gotten an acknowledgement of the order in my e-mail. Hope the order went thru alright. How do we make contact when we feel we have made an error in ordering?
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiii people
found the code# went to yhe web page but could not get it to open so i could enter the code #
My daughter got a t-shirt.WOW, It is a really nice gift from General Mills. I had no trouble getting a code or entering the code. Thank you General Mills.
No problem with my order…how do we receive confirmation of our order ?
can’t enter my postal code. Every time I try, it changes then tells me I’m entering an invalid postal code, so I can’t continue
my computer won’t let me do ANYTHING so i can’t go on, and my dad has a computer and won’t let me use it for ten minutes evan though he knows how much i want it! every time i ask him he starts complaining about how stuff does not work on his computer, but i KNOW he’s lying. i know 3 times more bout computers than him and he thinks i’m dum anough to believe it. it’s a new vista and everything works but he keeps it away and only uses it himself and it’s a $1,400 COMPUTER! he only looks at harleys evan though we live in an apartment and he has no job and we scrape for money. if the doller store soled food we would never see another store again. the computer i’m on now is 6 years old and bearly starts up without something hapening to it. it’s like this computer makes it’s own viruses and plants them on the desktop. if you read this thanx, i’ll go back to watching t.v and wasting my summer in my room.
thanx
Kid that is sick of his computer.. Awe! We hear you hun. So sorry to hear your computer is on the fritz. I think many of us can relate to not having their computer every once in awhile. You’re lost without it! I see you managed to get on here for a little bit though. I hope you will get more opportunities to come on here and maybe even get another computer for yourself someday. Is there not some other things you could do to help you pass the time?
Love them toasters

The library has computers that are free, the library has games, activities and books that are available to use for free. you only have to be an honest person and return the materials you borrow from the library. magazines are also available to borrow for free just return everything before the due date otherwise you will owe them money.

I would like to get free t-shirt for my brother ..
don’t tell anyone … shhh!! it’s a secret
Bought four boxes of cereal as soon as it was on the shelves(and it was on sale!), entered the codes (had to go through the process four times for four t-shirts) and really had no problem. I seem to recall an issue with my email but I can’t remember how I resolved it as this was back in early July. The t-shirts are very nice and pretty good quality. If you have a box with no code I would direct inquires to General Mills. Seems there are quite a lot of you. Good Luck.
got my shirt ,thanks if you put the code in properly it may work
I really enjoy your cereals
received my t-shirt but my mom’s didn’t arrive.entered codes on the same day.was it because i used my e-mail twice,she doesn’t own a computer.

Ihave been saving here is my ordermjtopor1805747 youth large mjk3t58125n832 youth med.mwk3t517×57013 child small.. *personal address removed*
I submitted the code (M8F8K-2ROTS-NO88) and ordered a large t-shirt in August. Still have not received the shirt.
a free t shirt
what the hell, the offer is over now..my girls really wanted the shirts.. I bought 2 boxes of cereal and now cant get my 2 shirts for my girls…very disspointed..
I entered my code for the free t-shirt a long time ago & it has not arrived to date. Is there a reason for this?
cinnamon toast crunch is my favorite and hope to get my tee shirt for the end of january
I love honey nut cheerios, eat them almost every day. Would love to have a paint the town red t-shirt.
Bad Quality and bad cotton
It’s not fair that they are still advertising the T-shirt on the cereal boxes when the offer is expired…
I want my t-shirt…
I agree that it is not fair to advertise for such a short time on this T shirt deal. I would like a T-shirt for my daughter too…
I have recently bought two boxes of cereal that had the T-shirt ad on them and I have two codes and wanted two t-shirts, one for each of my sons. I came on line today to order those free t-shirts but when I attempt to enter my codes the computer screen is blank. I am not very pleased that I can not acquire the two free t-shirts today. If you can help me, please contact me by phone 705-*****1 or email me at da******ut@sympatico.ca as soon as possible. I think that it is very misleading because you did not put an offer expiry date on the box but you had one I can see now that I have accessed your website of Oct. 2009. If there was an expiry date then that should have been placed clearly on the box so we would know that when we purchase the cereal (cereal that is quite costly these days). Thank you for your time and I hope your help. I will hang onto the codes in hopes that I will hear from someone soon who can help me to obtain these two t-shirts. Mrs. Darilyn Dickhout
