Free Dr. Pepper Coupon

It's 11pm on November 22nd, 2008, and things are already a little shaky with Dr. Pepper's tech team. They had been told that they should probably upgrade their servers to handle the huge traffic for the next day, but it seems like someone did not give enough credit to that idea. Millions of people are already flocking to the Dr. Pepper website trying to get their free Dr. Pepper, but it's down. That's the story so far of the "Free Dr. Pepper Day" , where Dr. Pepper had promised to give a free Dr. Pepper to every american because of the release of the Guns and Roses album before the end of 2008.

So how can you get your free Dr. Pepper? Well, there are a few options, none of which are too difficult, but first try to understand the situation. Dr. Pepper is a soda company, primarily interested in making drinks. Odds are they don't have a huge tech team, and they're website doesn't get much traffic on a day to day basis. When's the last time you visited drpepper.com? Unfortunately they were unable to handle the huge volume on their website today. But you should have options.

1. Call Dr. Pepper at 1-800-696-5891. They should be able to register you for your coupon just like you would on the website, especially if you complain about not being able to access their website. They'll send you your free Dr. Pepper coupon in the mail.

2. Try the website tommorrow. They could, hopefully, extend the promotion so that everyone affected can get their Dr. Pepper. The promo officially ends at midnight, but that doesn't mean it can't be extended.

3. Call or email their support team, possibly another day. If you can't get through to a person on the phone, why not call back sometime? Companies like to have your business, and if you complain that you could not get to their website, odds are that they'll sign you up for the coupon anyway.
