I know I've been doing them on FB But when I sign in to send myself a copy of it, it asks me to pay. Before I was able to send myself a duplicate with no problems. Hum????

I can't even send postcards now to people who are not my fb friends!! Anyone has that problem?? Like mine MAKES me put one of my fb friends name on it, and then they'll send a request for an address. I can't even type my own friend's address there already.

Touchnote knows about us. They caught onto our lil inmate mail scheme here already, people! >:/

Yes, that's exactly the same problem I was having as of last week. I thought maybe it was just my account, because I had sent too many....but I tried setting up a whole new account, and it was still the same!
I just sent one last postcard and paid for it. It cost me $1.50.

Oh well - it was great while it lasted!

You can send card out to people that are not on facebook.

For example where it says First name......

and you want to send out a card to Joyce ( a non fb friend) and you do have a friend called Jolanda o fb. When you type te J and O it will show Jolanda. (still following me haha) but as soon as you continue on the original name Joyce that will stay there. (The Joyce that is) and Jolanda no longer pops up. and from there on you can continue with the adres (last name etc etc)

It is still free of charge and I just send one out a couple of minutes ago without a problem.

yeah because I just tried it again and now I get the same thing - onlyfb friends...talk to them every day so they do not really need a card huh haha. I did email the lady that had told me sometime last week that it would be possible through the fb-app foc till the end of the month. I doubt it will be turned back but as you said, it was fun while it lasted

I have also send them an email asking them why the rules of this promotion keep changing all the time. I don;t think we are doing any thing wrong, they offer free postcards and we are sending them, so why change the offer? Besides even if I did want to send one of my facebook friends a card, I would want it to be a surprise, but you cannot even add the address yourself, touchnote will send your friend a message asking them for their info, how strange is that haha.

I asked them what part of "free of charge" did I misunderstand haha no just kidding.

Us Dutchies are too down to earth to understand any of this "logic" hahaha

Is even the FB promotion over now ? I just went on to see if I could do it since I haven't sent any yet via FB and I can't see anywhere that we can send them still. I went to the website and it says all the free postcards have been sent.

Hehehe... it says they hit their 'limit' in just 3 weeks... I wonder how many of those can be attributed to 'prison'?
It was great while it lasted... I did manage to get approximately 130 postcards sent before they stopped doing it

Doesn't make any sense though, they do not have any more free post cards to send, but yet you can still send them foc to your fb friends and they will send them to their home...so I guess they just did found another stack of free cards but only if you are sending them to someone who has facebook...??

owwww well my bf is used to a letter a day so is having a ball with the tons of cards he has been getting on top of that so he said it has him smiling till the next Olympics when they have another "send out a free card" hahaha
