I’ve realized that most of my readers are not interested in sharing their personal Facebook profile in order to receive a freebie but fear no more. Here’s how to remove a company application from accessing your profile after you’ve signed up for a coupon, sample or freebie:
- Go to your Facebook profile page
- Click ‘Account’ on the top right
- Select ‘Privacy Settings’ from the drop down menu
- Click ‘Edit your settings’ on bottom left
- Click ‘Edit settings’
- Click the “x” link next to any applications you may have inherited via a sample, coupon or freebie (no need to delete Events, Photos etc.) to remove them from accessing your profile.
- Done! Pretty easy huh?
After signing up for a coupon, sample or freebie, I personally plan to allow them to access my profile for a day or so and then remove them from accessing my profile (and possibly “un-like” them) because I’m not completely sure if they plan to take care of my request right away, in a couple hours or the next day. But it doesn’t hurt to try signing up then deleting their access to your profile right away?
(Thanks so much @CJ)

I posted this on your Facebook yesterday, but no answer. 🙁
After I click on Application settings, I do not see Company Applications.
Any ideas??

they arent under company , recently added or allowed to post perhaps, just look- thanks this was great help I got rid of many things I had just blocked
Thanks…cleared out a bunch of them!! To think they were just hiding out over there.
thanks for letting us know about the pringles. and how to remove them, i was trying to find out how to do that, so i can remove any group periodically.
I can't find anywhere on my account where it says application settings.
I get stuck at the 6th step. There isn't an option for "any applications you may have inherited via a sample, coupon or freebie"…it's not listed there.
I did, however, discover a number of applications that I wanted to remove.
I love this article.. I have it bookmarked! Thanks CouponPro! 🙂
Pretty easy huh?
wat?
