Social Engineering is more than getting free stuff for sure.

Absolutely so.

Although SE'ing Is a broad term, In a nutshell, social engineering Is manipulating the person on the other end to believe, trust and give Information (to you) that they're not supposed to disclose. Whether you use that Information to obtain free Items, personal credentials or simply act as a service technician to gain unauthorized physical access to a building, Is entirely your call.

@"Ender", I'm glad you've mentioned Kevin Mitnick's book. I believe this will be of big help to those new to SE'ing. The same applies with this thread. Well done.
