Saw this on TV today:
Purchase General Mills’ cereals and use the secret code inside to get one of many free books. The books gets mailed to you free of charge (no shipping fees :-)). You can also buy several cereal boxes and get more than one free book. Find more details on this promotion in General Mills’ BiteIntoBooks website here.

I just went and checked all my cereal boxes and not one said free book, however i eat general mills products every day, so i will be looking for the free book banner as i am an avid reader. Sincerely yours Susan Battle
To Whom It May Concern,
I found the website and code inside the cereal box, however, I have been unable to locate the place to enter the code that will allow me to choose my free book.
Elizabeth
note: I enjoyed the cereal with the fruit.
Susan, thanks for your feedback 🙂
Elizabeth, here is where to enter the code:
– Go to http://www.biteintobooks.com/main.asp
– wait until the intro ends and you get a bookshelf.
– click on “Choose My Free Book” and you will get a page to enter the code 🙂
Elizabeth, your web browser must have flash installed to see the page. If you can’t see anything on the page you need to go to
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
and download and install Flash
Hope that helps 🙂

Hello Michelle
I don’t work for General Mills so I can’t really help solve this problem. I think the best solution is to phone them and hopefully they’ll be able to help you out.
The General Mills phone number is:
1-800-767-5350 between (9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET, weekdays)
Hope this helps you out and please let us know how things go 🙂
hi i have just entered my secret code. then when it came to the instruction that ” I HAVE TO CHECK IF I ENTERED THE RIGHT CODE”, i checked on it and it is missing the first two letters. so i re-encoded it again and it did the same thing. i hope there won’t be any problem that would arise.
thanks and i hope to receive my free book by next month.
You’re welcome evelyn 🙂
I don’t think this error will cause any problems and I hope you get your book soon. Let us know when you do 🙂
I cannot read some of the computer-generated codes on the cereal boxes. Is there a pattern so that I can guess at the letters or numbers. I’ve found that this is the case in about half of the cereal boxes I’ve bought.
Thanks,
Nat
How frustrating this is!!! I get to the bookcase, click on choose a book, then just get a page with like a starburst on it!!! Is it me or my computer?? I tried to click on “help” but can not!!! All this for a free book!!! Will try 1 more time!
Hey there I just finished reading the girl who loved Tom Gordan. Very good book sad ending however. But in my opinion there are no other good free books. This has introduced me to the great writer Stephen King. I highly reccomend anyone to read this book if they haven’t already.
7 Habits of highly effective people
Zin! Zin! zin! a violin
Deception Point
Thank you for the opportunity to get some free books. From all our eating Oatmeal Crisps it is great to be rewarded!
This does give the rite to share the email address with ANYONE!!!!!
I received my 2 books that I ordered. It was great. what a wonderful idea. I wish they would do something like this more frequently. I had no problem with the website.
I had no problem with the free book website, however, I ordered my free books on Oct 10/06 and I still have not received them. I hope I get them soon.

Where do you put in the code to receive your books..
I ordered a book from the “adult” selection and received it. However, I am having problems with a code from the children’s books. It says that the secret code that I enter has already been used (when I know that it shouldn’t be since I just opened the box)!
Has anyone else had this happen?
