How to Get Free Hot Wheels Stuff in the Mail

Hot Wheels, created in 1968 as a branch of the Mattel Toy Company, produces toy die-cast cars that are popular with children and adults alike. Since production started, over 1 billion Hot Wheels cars have been made. There have been several different collections of Hot Wheels cars, including the Treasure Hunt series, First Edition series and Elite series---most of which consist of rare, hard to find die-cast cars. Because of the popularity of Hot Wheels, many additional products have been created, consisting of posters, secret cars and collectible cards. Most of these products are offered to club members or those who enter certain sweepstakes.

  Collect reward points. Another benefit to being a member of the Red Line Club is collecting points. Every purchase you make through your membership, adds points to your account. Some cars and sales are worth more points than others. Each purchase you make will show you the amount of points that will be added to your account before you make your sale. When you have built up enough points, you can trade them in for free merchandise, including rare cars. The number of points you need is usually 10, but it does vary from vehicle to vehicle.
