I was notified that I had 3 free gifts waiting for me. All I had to do to claim the gifts was to go to www.readersdigest.com/3free. I can't get anything using that e-address other than a group of other complaintents. Since Readers Digest notified my by sending a card within the magazine itself, they obviously have my mailing address. I have attempted to claim the prizes as instructed. Now, I want them...whatever they are....
