Free gifts and merchandise have a remarkable way of making individuals feel happy and motivated. The excitement of receiving something for free triggers a sense of gratitude, making us appreciate the generosity and thoughtfulness behind the gesture. Moreover, the novelty and surprise element associated with freebies add to the thrill. Furthermore, free gifts and merchandise can serve as valuable motivators. This positive experience triggers the release of dopamine in our brain, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and happiness.
Simply put, I just love free stuff. So, If you too up for the free stuff and you are a VMware Enthusiast just like me, I can tell you a hack to take this liberty.
Join the VMware Rewards Program.
What is VMware Rewards Program?
VMware Rewards is designed to thank customers for their ongoing support and engagement with VMware. Program members earn points for taking part in qualifying activities run in one of the participating VMware communities or customer programs. Members exchange points for prizes in the VMware Rewards catalog.
VMware Rewards is more than prizes! This program is also a way for customers to get recognized for their community contributions and loyalty to VMware. Customers can advance through the Rewards Program by completing specified activities, gaining kudos, status and appreciation along the way.
Prizes range from VMware-branded swag and charity donations to high-tech gadgets and event tickets.

Earn extra points
Just by loggin in daily, you can earn some extra points by follwing this streak which you can see on your welcome screen.
Other way to earn extra points is by earning badges for various hunts, connecting your social handles, completing levels, contributing to VMware Community (use the same email address) etc.
If you have enough points to get everything from the above catalog, you are already champion and deserves a standing ovation. However, if you have some more appetite for VMware merchandise, I suggest you head out to this link where you can get thousands of goodies but not for free.
