Regarding gifts for buying $298.00 worth of vitamins:

Although I have no knowledge about the particular firm in question,
it is wise to be wary of deals like this.  It sounds like the deals where
they give gifts for visiting resort sales offices. Often the cheapest gift 
is not the one it appears to be.  One of these schemes offered a 
"power boat" as one of the prizes which was really a *toy* boat. 
Perhaps the "cable TV satellite dish" is a piece of junk with little value.
Check the fine print or in some other way find out the value of each gift 
and the odds of receiving it.
