I got that too! Spent it on the Rainforest Cafe!

Color me suspicious. There was no Rice-a-Roni or Turtle Wax in that haul, nor Castrol GTX motor oil.
Madge the manicurist is spinning in her grave.
PYLdude:
The only thing they gave my Millionaire group was T-shirts, but when I tried out the most recent time they had a couple of nice freebies including a refrigerator magnet which I still have. (I gave the shirts to my dad and brother and haven’t seen them since. The shirts that is.)

October 1986, nighttime WoF: Each of these was to send me $25 of either their product or something "equivalent"...
Beeman's, Blackjack, and Clove Old-Fashioned Chewing Gum
Aapri Facial Scrub
Glade Light (one can, sent via UPS, plus a portable CD player)
Lipton Cup-a-Soup (they sent a pot and pan set instead of soup)
Cutex Nail Polish Remover (along with some eye shadow and perfume "for my pleasure")
And finally, Krackel... which they never sent, claiming it would melt.
I was also eligible for a new set of parting gifts when my show reran the following summer, but I was out of town and wasn't able to return the claim form in time, thus missing out on such delectables as Castleberry Beef Stew and Sarne Handbags, among others.

I received a $120 per diem for my appearance on Battle of the Generations and a night's stay in a hotel which is walking distance from the studio in which we filmed. No travel as I was local, but I know they did fly contestants in who were from outside the greater Toronto area.
