Does anyone know what the promo code is for the Plain Protein site? I just tried to place an order with the code of December, then DECEMBER and both were invalid.

I used "december" 2 days ago and it worked for me. But on another thread of the same topic said the order had to be a certain amount. Hope this helps !

I didn't know they had a code..I just placed my very first order (vitamins) and they are already here. and i'm in AK. I'm impressed.

December works with a minimum of $75 purchase. Hope this helps!

Thank you to each of you, I appreciate the information. Yes, when I raised my order up to $75, december worked.

Just a heads up, any sales of Ideal Protein on the internet is not regulated. The sites, if they are a legit site, is actually breaking FDA regulation. Since IP is only sold in medical clinics and is FDA label approved, which includes approval for Canada boarder crossing into the US, any internet sales have not been approved. I already heard about two clinics being shut down by the FDA for internet sales.

I would not buy on the internet, as many of these sites are either stealing, copying or selling adulterated product. Just a big warning, but I would only go to the clinics. It is the same price and you are protected under the labeling and the clinic.

I checked the shipping location of this website and it is shipping from a false location, as it doesn't even exist. Meaning, they know they are selling illegally and do not want to be found by both the FDA and Ideal Protein.

Just some food for thought. If you want more proof, call Ideal Protein's main HQ (which I did), and get their response on internet sales. Not a good idea when you hear there response.

What exactly is "FDA label approved?" There is no such marking on any of the IP products. They are produced in Canada so I'm not even certain of the relevancy of a US agency approval. In any event, the US FDA doesn't approve or disapprove of protein supplements. That's beyond their purview; they are neither inspected nor regulated by the FDA.

That's the wonderful thing about a free market society. You can buy (or choose not to) from wherever you'd like. As far as the last sentence regarding the products being the "same price" that is blatantly false, particularly in terms of the supplements. The price variation for exactly the same commercial off the shelf products is dramatically different.

I'm not sure of the "proof" you're alluding to, but it doesn't surprise me one bit that they'd be unhappy about another company squeezing in on their market. That doesn't make it a bad thing for the consumer. Actually, quite the opposite, IMNSHO.

Good point! LOL. Guess the last poster resurrected this thread just to bash the company.
