A similar offer from them was around about a year ago but this one appears to be new.

Thats probably because you get a "chance to win one of the 10,000 2G Absolüt Arnica Gel Samples."
More contest than freebie : (

No, even tho they say "win" it really is a freebie/giveaway. It's also one of those get-a-penny-give-a-penny arrangements. Not quite sure why they worded it that way. Some legal thing I guess.
I did receive the sample last year.

It's not a draw... If you're one of the first 10,000 you get the sample.
They are just covering their behinds... They use the word "chance" because if you are entry #10,001 you don't get the sample.
Since nobody knows how many people entered before them, if they send you a "sorry" email, you have nothing to go against them.
I just put in my request! :)
Thanks OP!
They're giving away a 2G sample... This box is 50!

If you want to skip the whole email registration thingy...
Copy paste the link below CHANGING THE EMAIL portion to whatever you'd like.
No guarantees doing it this way, but it does seem to get you to the final stage. (I didn't try it, as I actually went through their whole procedure)

It's uncommon, but not unheard of. You used to see it with some snail-mail freebie offers -- they'd actually send you a nickel, then you'd check a box that said "I agree to pay $0.05 for this offer/sample/whatever" ... but you didn't actually have to send the nickel back.
Some legal thing obviously that makes it a "purchase" rather than a "giveaway," I'm just not sure what the specifics of the legality are. The company is based in Quebec, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I just received an e-mail from them this morning, after signing up for this days ago:
'Important : After receiving your 7-day tips, we will send you an email to confirm your mailing address for your Absolüt Arnica sample!'
Seems like you gotta receive 7 newsletters before even getting a chance of confirming anything... so don't delete the emails yet!

I was just about to post this too.
The last 2 days, I never took the time to read their emails, but today I decided to see why they kept sending one every day.
Sneaky buggers!
