Multiple Freebie!

promotions for the same listings
2. There is not a single view to see total list of freebies on a particular listing
Points to Note for Freebie offer
31. Points to Note for Freebie offer
It is mandatory for sellers to ship the freebie item & primary product together in the same
package
Freebie item cannot be cancelled by the seller without cancelling primary product
Marking the primary product as RTS implies freebie item is also RTS
Once a promotion is created by defining a product group through
brands/verticals/price points, it cannot be switched to specific listing option
Seller cannot edit the start date after a promotion goes live.
