Last week we finally recieved our coupons for the Stash Tea Bed & Breakfast Offer. We learned about the offer last year when we went on vacation and stayed at a B&B that was part of the promotion. You buy 3 boxes of Stash Tea, send them in with $3.95, and they send you a coupon to buy one night and get one night free at a participating Bed & Breakfast.
Very nice.
But a couple weeks ago we had our offer and $3.95 check returned. The reason? “Promotion has ended” what? I thought it lasted until April 2005!
Michael called them up and it turns out that they are starting a new promotion in May and didn’t want to keep giving out the older coupons. When Michael told them we had plans and wanted to use the older ones they apologized and sent us TWO coupons! So now we have two coupons that we definately won’t be using before April of 2005. We’ve asked a few friends if then wanted to come with us but everyone is busy.
Too busy for a lovely bed & breakfast stay in Maryland? Yep. We planned our Bed & Breakfast weekend away for March 25, 26, and 27. Easter weekend. We didn’t even realize it. We’re so silly.
We’ll be staying at the place that told us about the promotion in the first place, The Castle in Western Maryland. And in the same room as before, the most expensive one in the place with the most wonderful comfy bed. We’ll be doing some hiking, and Michael has been looking at local and nearby WV things to do for the weekend we’re over there. And we have reservations at a couple really nice restaurants in the area for our evening meals. I’m so excited, it’s less than 2 weeks away!
