Hi guys!
How do you translate this very common promo to English? "Two by one"?? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm In Spanish we say "dos por uno". Do you say "promo" too like in Spanish?

Re: 2 x 1
Aqui te envio algunas opciones: (ejemplo: HOT DOGS)
Como titulo, en vez de "promo" (se usa igual pero no es tan comun o no tiene el mismo impacto) puedes usar: Today's special.... Special offer! .... LO COMPLEMENTAS CON: HOT DOGS 2 X 1 2 for 1 on HOT DOGS get 2 hot dogs for the price of 1 suerte |

Re: 2 x 1
Sometimes it is called a 'two fer' or '2fer' or a 'two for one promo'

Re: 2 x 1
Hi! I've also found the expression:
Buy 2, Get 1 Free. Hope you find it useful!

Re: 2 x 1
Sure!
I've seen those coupons that say "¡Promo 2x1!" maybe you buy a combo at McDonalds and you get another one free, or 2 movie tickets, etc.

Here I found the coupon.  Could I say "Offer! 2x1"? (and if I say it aloud I would say "offer buy one, get one free!")

Re: 2 x 1
I think that would be said "Two-for one offer."
It always means that you receive two items for the price of one. Another way to say this is BoGo. It means buy one, get one (free). |
