[irishsoccermbw]

KFC (http://slickdeals.net/?pno=20543&lno=1&afsrc=1) is offering a free 2-Piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken Meal including 2 pieces of Kentucky Grilled Chicken, 2 sides and one biscuit with the printable coupon.
Note, you will need to install Coupons.com printer before you will be able to print the coupon. It is highly recommended, that you install coupons.com (http://slickdeals.net/?pno=20543&lno=2&afsrc=1) printer before you click the first link

Stolen from SD, I've already printed 12 coupons (off 3 different computers) you can print 4 per computer :).

KFC for everyone!!!

[Irukandji]

Holy shit. Mad props if this works.

[irishsoccermbw]

It was on Oprah, and it does work :) just went and got 2 free lunches with a buddy of mine...who says there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Also there is a huge thread about it on SD: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=151108&t=1332685

Thanks, Free lunch.

Awesome! Thanks Oprah... bout time I get somethin! =)

[sippycupz]

Site seems to be down but I guess that's cause of the traffic

People went crazy for the $4.99 chicken deal at Popeye's earlier, so I bet there's somewhere out there that people are battling each other with battleaxes over this coupon

[Got_Wii]

Not working at the moment

[webdoggy]

Worked fine for me.

I don't find this hysterically stereotypical what so ever lol.
Good find Op.

For anyone it doesn't work for, take it as a sign that we don't need this greasy shit.

I guess it makes sense. We all should know how she feels about hamburgers :lol:

[blahtastic]

Good deal! Thanks OP!

[As I Bleed]

i already took all my exams but i'll still take some free lunch coupons!

[n2Deepeth]

I don't get how the limit is going to be enforced.

[emeraldgsl]

Thanks OP

[n8rockerasu]

I don't get how the limit is going to be enforced.

Based on what the site says, of limiting you to 4 downloads...I would have thought the coupon would generate a different "UPC" for each one, and then block you after you've done it 4 times. But it looks to be just a generic image that you could print 100 times and use until they started recognizing you.

[inefficiency device]

My roommate and I used this on my way home from work. Definitely worth the price. There's plenty of stores near me, so I'll probably use this a few more times.

That's what I thought too, but apparently, it's the same image in my eyes.

Did you actually have to pay anything, like tax?

[outphase]

From the Terms at the bottom:
You are limited to 4 downloads of coupon. Coupon fraud is punishable by law

Note that it doesn't say you are limited to 4 printings. :)

[ajh2298]

Why do I keep getting the "File is damaged and cannot be repaired" message, no matter what .pdf site I try and download it from?

[dg7md]

Nice, I'll use this a few times at least.

[WiiShopChannels]

I am planning to go tomorrow and use this. Wanted to see how the grill chicken tasted and what better way to do it. so all UPC are the same?

[ddrlenz]

Nom nom nom

[the_grimace]

umm./ how they are enforcing the 4 download limit?? I thought it would be a new UPC each time, but its not.... do they just trust people will be honest?

I am all over this, thanks OP. I've been wanting to try the grilled chicken before I buy it. I'm usually a Popeyes type of guy if I want fast food chicken, but for free I am down.

[luan87us]

nicee this meal is $3.99 usually xD. I just had one the other day haha. Gonna get this for my grandma

[Crono51]

www.unthinkKFC.com has more coupons. You have to have some coupon downloading software (available through the site) though.

...The code (under the barcode) that I got from Oprah's site ends in "1234." The last 3 of the numbers at the end of the "Coupon fraud is punishable by law." statement ends in "014." ...Is this the same for everyone else (that gets it from Oprah's site)?

I'm trying to figure out what the 4 downloads thing is supposed to mean. Does that mean that if I print out the coupon multiple times, it'll only work 4 times? ...And what if this code is the same for everyone else?

UnthinkKFC.com only allows me to print off 1 coupon, once, further confusing this deal.

Nice find though, OP.

[gomikeoh]

Holy epic! I am being serious. I always pass by a KFC on my flipping rounds! Thanks OP!

Yeah my numbers are the same, not really sure what the deal is. To confuse it more, it says Valid only if printed from Unthinkfc.com..

[MoneyMan]

I used two coupons already and i have two more left. The coupons have different numbers on the 4 that i printed.

[Full Metal XL]

Great coupon, OP...thanks!
Shame it's not for something neater and more controller friendly like a wrap...then this would be a perfect gaming snack deal, I'm thinking. As it is, people...if you eat this while you game? Bring lots of paper towels. :twisted:

[sippycupz]

I got it to work

[VipFREAK]

Should've given it to these people...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pyW6w5B7Aw

[Whirly]

I'll print out a couple dozen and give em to my friends, since their too lazy to ever look online for free shit

[Whirly]

try a different computer/browser

one of my computers does that, but the other doesn't

[Whirly]

just a heads-up, the bar codes are different for each one

[Whirly]

just a heads-up, each coupon has a different bar code

[Whirly]

http://www.unthinkfc.com/KFCPdf.pdf

they put this up on the main page as well. My assumption is you can use this one as many times as you want. the bar code is 0012 3456 7890 1234, whereas my 4 other printed coupons were unique.

Oprah's site had a link to this one's pdf for awhile, but changed it to a link to the site like 10 mins ago...

You can print these till like 9 pm central tomorrow or something, so print away.

[halvorsb]

Wow. I haven't been to a KFC in probably 5 years. My kids saw a commercial the other day and wanted to go, so after baseball practice I figure it's a good, quick dinner. I knew nothing about this promotion and I was the only dumbass in there paying my dinner after waiting 15 minutes in line.

I should have my cheapass badge suspended for 2 weeks for dumb behavior and missing a cool deal.

[gunstar808]

Could anyone find a list of "participating" restaurants? I got refused at my KFC and was a little peeved about it. Hawaii doesn't always honor these things, but I would like to at least see it in print somewhere. The way I see it, Oprah can afford to buy me some chicken whether I live in Hawaii or not.

[Veritech]

Thanks OP. I printed out a couple of coupons to use for lunch on Wednesday.

[CosmosTheMouse]

Couponprinter.exe? Is Oprah trying to infect my computer with malware now?
Her infecting my TV is bad enough.....

Any PDF link files that are working?

[$hady]

THANKS OP!

I just printed out 4 coupons in IE, I tried Firefox before downloading the printer and it refused all my Firefox attempts so luckily IE saved the day.

Forwarding this to everyone I know!

[Immortal fWd]

My KFC refused them.

The one on Oprah's website should be in a PDF. That's where I got mine and it worked just fine. If it doesn't work, try using IE instead of Firefox.

[Whirly]

I put an official re-usable pdf file on the last page. The ones you print off with the coupon printer are one-use, im pretty sure.

[guyver2077]

used coupon printer to print out 4 coupons.... wonder if they will accept at store

[JolietJake]

I can't get this to print to the network printers here, anyone have a working PDF?

[BigFishCarl]

wow, I figured this deal would be great. I printed out a couple and thought about going to my local KFC. The problem is that in the city of Monroe Louisiana. Every single KFC is so frecking crowded that it isnt even funny. Seems that because Oprah said stuff about it this coupon is just WAY to mainstream for me lol. Im going to eat my can of sardines now :(. Thanks for the post though OP :)

[mr.me]

Has anyone gotten the generic doesn't change coupon to work? This thing is confusing me. It says you are limited to 4 downloads, but every coupon is the same. Even more confusing, the KFC site linked to the coupons.com site, then they changed it to link to the oprah site which linked to a PDF hosted on oprah.com, now the KFC site is changed back to link to coupons.com and oprah.com now links to the KFC site.

[naiku]

http://www.unthinkfc.com/KFCPdf.pdf ?

does that work?

edit: on my windows pc it loads up that shitty coupons website. on the mac it forces me directly to that pdf.

im assuming thats the generic coupon w/ a code like 12345678901234...the coupon printer on windows gave me a different code. Not sure if that works...Ill assume it does because there is no other way for a mac user to view that webpage. the button to print is a direct link to that pdf.

whatever thanks OP gonna go out to kfc for lunch.

[Kevlar281]

I can't get the pdf to load. :cry:

Did anyone save it?

[mr.me]

http://www.unthinkfc.com/KFCPdf.pdf ?

does that work?



The link works fine for me. I meant has anyone gotten the generic doesn't change coupon to work at a KFC restaurant(gotten the free food), because there seem to be 2 versions of coupons circulating. 1. A coupon that is different every time and 2. that PDF one that is always the same.

Edit: Also the unthinkKFC site keeps changing the link for the coupon. When I first checked it this morning it was coupons.com, then I checked it later and it was the PDF, now it's back to coupons.com and this all happened today. Why do they keep changing it?

[Marshy]

i got a coupon with a different bar code through some weird third party site. however, the "official" unthink site is just putting up a pdf now. This is probably due to server loads.

[tomfoolery]

thanks!!!!!

[fairtrade]

Coupon worked, but... no choice of free sides??? BLASPHEMY! :lol:

[Jerajdai]

Stopped by my KFC for this today - *mistake*!! Everybody was there - tons and tons of people -- I eventually got mine a-ok, but it took forever. Kinda reminded me of grocery store-deli rotisserie chicken.

[Interstella 5555]

I managed to download and print 1, but for some reason I can't print the rest of the 3. it says I've reached the maximum limit for today. wtf?! help!

Edit: I sent them a message about the problem, and 5 min later I tried it again and voila! It started printing the rest of the 3.

[Irukandji]

Hey thanks OP I successfully used 2 coupons today (my dad and I). Mashed potatoes ftw.

[safire]

I saved a screen shot of the coupon anyway. Would that be helpful for you guys having problems?

[JediJames2]

[DaddyBoJangles]

It wouldn't work for me :( No free grilled chicken for the Bojangles. *sigh*

[FFaddic]

I don't post here really, but I wanted to answer some people's questions:

I went to KFC with 5 other people with these coupons. Some used the ones that have different codes from coupon.com, the others from the PDF. KFC accepted all of them. HOWEVER, they did not scan them, only placed them in a basket that had a pile of other coupons.

Can anyone else share their experience of whether or not the cashier scanned them, and which coupon you used (PDF of the one from coupon.com that requires the Coupon program to be installed). I think it will help a lot of people out here.

I also recommend everyone download and save the PDF so you can print out more for the rest of the promotion.

[JediJames2]

It would for me, can't get any of those PDF links to work. Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, found someone who had saved a copy of the PDF here:

http://www.ejony.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/kfcpdf.pdf

Just printed it out and tried it (have a KFC three minutes from my apartment) and it worked fine. Went through drive through, only annoying thing was I could not pick my sides. Can't complain about free food, through. Did not look that busy, this location was in Kissimmee, FL.

Overzealous manager? Reading the coupon makes it look like the chicken is the managers choice versus the sides

[JediJames2]

Eh, like I said, not going to complain about free food. Sides they gave me were mashed potatoes and cole slaw. Not too big on cole slaw, but I can save that for the wife.

This coupon will not work just came back from my kfc this is the oprah coupon if the code is ending on 1234 they will not accept it. The employee is probably uninformed right now but probably on your next transactions they would probably will not accept a coupon that end on 1234. I was wondering if there's anyone out there that have a coupon that came directly from unthinkfc.com? That is the only one seems to be valid.

[Kerig]

What's this talk of can't choose the side? The coupon clearly states "2 pcs grilled chicken (manager's choice)" and then the next line is "two individual sides and a biscuit".

The manager's choice is the chicken. You'll be getting a leg and a thigh. No breasts for free. You can certainly choose what side you want though.

I went in today for lunch with the wife and kid. I put 3 coupons on the counter, poker-style. The cashier says "are those for the three of you?". I think she thought I was going to say "I'll take 3 free meals...and my wife will be having 3 as well."

Got mashtapatoes & macaroni salad no problem. No scanning of the coupon, but it was a legit one printed from unthinkKFC.com with the coupon printer program.

[TheMaidenOfSorrow]

Lol my sis downloaded the coupon printer thing and then I ran a scan for malware and infections came up. Dont know if it's a threat or not, but just to be safe, if you downloaded couponprinter.exe run a scan.

[n8rockerasu]

Went to KFC with the wife today and of 10 people standing in line, only an older couple behind us wasn't using the ticket. When we got to the counter, we noticed a hand-written sign stating that coupons printed from the PDF with the generic "1234" code would not be accepted.

We also discovered that "you have to get mashed potatoes w/gravy and cole slaw" as your sides. To me, this seems like a loophole clause that KFC decided to enact once they discovered how ridiculously popular this promotion was going to be. I'm honestly amazed it's supposed to last for more than a week. That is a ridiculous amount of food to give away. I could easily see them coming up with an excuse and stopping it early.

My wife managed to get her mashed potatoes without gravy, but that's as far as they let us push it. Neither of us is really a fan of cole slaw, but the chicken was freaking delicious. You get one good sized thigh and one baby piece...seems to be the standard. Even with one useless side, it's still a great deal. We were surprised we didn't even have to pay tax. Got the meals to go and avoided even having to pay for a drink. I handed them two worthless pieces of paper, and they gave us two meals. Can't beat that!

[veggielasagna]

Hmm, went through the drive thru at my local KFC today w/ the PDF coupon. I didn't mention the coupon until I got to the window. Just said I'd like the two piece grilled chicken and proceeded to tell her what sides (MP and Corn).

Pulled up, she asked for money, I said "I have this (coupon)," she said "oh" and worked some magic on the register. No scanning. Pulling out of the parking lot I noticed they gave me MP and Coleslaw, not corn. No complaints about free food, kinda interesting that others mentioned the MP and Coleslaw as well though.

Oh and there was a breast and wing in there, first thing they asked once I told them I wanted the two piece meal. So, it looks like the sides and pieces are YMMV.

[twinton]

Even the ones that end in 1234 are supposed to be accepted.

After reading the stories in this thread it seems to vary at each KFC.

Here's what happened for me:

First off, I used 2 of the generic doesn't change PDF coupons, I went with my mom.

Every door had a sign that said "30 minute wait for free grilled meal". There were a lot of people there and most of them had a coupon, it wasn't that long of a wait though. Got to the counter and the guy just took the coupon and set it somewhere behind the counter and gave us our stuff. They had the meals pre-packed, so we didn't get to pick anything. It was completely free and we had no problems what so ever. It didn't come with a biscuit like it was supposed to, but I'm not going to complain since it was completely free.

One box had a leg and a thigh and the other had a wing and a breast. Both had Mashed Potatoes w/gravy and Cole slaw. It was pretty small and I could have easily eaten two.

So, there it is. I hope my story clears some things up.

[jdm_cHiGGa]

thanks op

[freshzen]

I'm a vegetarian, it'll be interested to see if I can substitute the sandwich for sides.

[aquateen168]

just gt back man i have never seen so many people in a small resturant man they were shoulder to shoulder. it took us about 30 min to get our food from the drive thru

[Tardcore]

I've heard some "riot" stories already over this.

Really, people? It's just some free chicken.

[irishsoccermbw]

And the biscuit dont forget the biscuit. :) Used a coupon today with a buddy of mine, and there was a steady line of 20+ people using the coupon lol nobody ordered anything other than a few sodas....KFC didn't know what kind of storm they unleashed.

[Glowin Smurff]

:\ stupid thing say's i printed them already? WTF i didn't print any, i just click on the print thing and it says already printed.

nevermind, it started 'working'

edit nevermind again, i got 1, but can't print anymore.....

I am having the same problem. Anyone know why? Is it just that their servers are overloaded with print requests?

I have tried 5 times, and every time it says that I have printed the maximum amount of coupons. The thing is, I just installed that coupon printing thing a few seconds ago. Not sure what is wrong.

[Glowin Smurff]

there is only 2 more hours left to print these (well 1:43minutes) cuz it stops at May 6th 11:59pm CDT

Same problem here. Now that I can't get it, I want it EVEN MORE! Maybe they're trying to stop the the bleeding before all the chicken on Earth runs out.

[irishsoccermbw]

For the people trying to print out more...the store I've used my coupons at didnt even look closely at the coupon, just saw it and put it in the pile. I'm assuming most people are using the .pdf version from the Oprah site and if after the deadline is over and people still can't get one ill post a .pdf of one of my coupons :)

[pimpster4183]

I don't know if you guys like Popeye's Chicken, but this is just a little FYI, if you want to mix up your deals, Popeye's accepts ALL coupons. I used to be a manager at a store when I got out of highschool and you could bring in a buy one tire get one free coupon and we'd have to match it to anything you wanted (10pc meal, poboy sandwhich etc). So if you printed off ten of these coupons you could bring one in and get a free Popeys 2 pc, 2 sides and a biscuit, just not grilled.

[DrunkTigerWoods]

I also forgot to do this. Did 4 on my pc, got 2 computers left. Cant say no to free chicken, especially from oprah.

[Glowin Smurff]

thanks irish, i haven't been able to print any out but 1, i was hoping to print atleast 2, and i threw my scanner/printer away cuz the damn thing kept leaking ink (stupid Lexmark)....i don't know how to capture a .pdf image from that place or anything...so if u can do that, it'd be great thanks :)


edit>i just tried it again, and it still doesn't work for me :(

Dude if this is true at all locations, I am one happy CAG. I love popeyes chicken and their sides are just far superior. I'll check with my local Popeyes tommorow!

I know for a fact it's with the Popeye's that are owned by Sailormen Inc (which is one of the largest owners) If you call just ask if the accept other companys coupons.

[sotc1988]

Awesome. Couldn't get the printer app to work on my mac but I nabbed one of oprah's site and heard that a lot of KFC's were being stupid about accepting that one. Will definitely follow up with customer service if I get turned away.

[JediJames2]

For those people still looking for the PDF version of the coupon (barcode ending 1234):

http://www.freewareweb.com/TO8762H/KFC_Coupon_Oprah.pdf

All stores should take this coupon. If not, call the 800 number from a few posts back.

[Glowin Smurff]

TY James.

[veggielasagna]

I'm a vegetarian, it'll be interested to see if I can substitute the sandwich for sides.

So am I, so I just picked one up for a friend.

For some reason, I figured Oprah would only like fried chicken................

[Dragon_Master]

I went there last night and I had to wait forever in line and finally I got to the front and they told us the only side they were giving was potatoes (thats right two sides of potatoes) and they were out of biscuits. I am going to try again later with one of my other coupons and see if the experience is any better.

[sephiroth_4]

props!!!!!!!!!

[TheRock88]

Went there last night and there was a line extended all the way out of the store. Waited there for like 10 min and when I got into the door, the employees yelled out that they had no more grilled chicken and to try again tomorrow. Gonna stop by a KFC near my school later, hope its not jammed pack.

[Josef]

Well at least people are finally going to KFC again :) Even if they're not making money off it...

[luan87us]

i used one of these yesterday and saw alot of other people were standing in line with the coupon too xD.

[VioletArrows]

Last night, my father handed me a whole stack of these coupons and said, 'have fun.' I ain't sayin' what happened, I just wish he would use his powers for evil a little more often, and not for boring crap like free chicken. Anyway, I think I'll wait till the madness goes down next week before I do this, since there's a few thousand extra coupons floating around the city now. >.>

[Jackrabbit$lim]

Just went to my local KFC, and before I even got in line, a worker told me that they weren't honoring the coupons today, and that they were giving out rain checks. I immediately turned tail and left.

Rain checks for what??? Like they ran out of chicken or something? That sucks.

Anyway, I just had me some free chicken lunch using the PDF coupon!! I even got to pick my own sides! Thanks OP (and Oprah)!

[eau]

Just had the free grilled chicken meal for lunch at KFC. There were about a dozen people waiting in line and all of them had the coupon in hand. About 10 minutes waiting, not bad.

[Whirly]

can anybody confirm popeyes takes the coupons?

And is it worth calling ahead of time?

[GamerKingFaiz]

I went to my KFC today, and they would only honor the coupon from 10 AM - 12 PM and 3 PM - 5 PM. I went there at 1 PM... =(

And they also said that the coupons with 1234 barcode, were not being accepted, sad day, I had that coupon.

I would have tried to fight it if I were you. Might wanna try calling the 800 number from a few pages back, report the store and see what they can do for you.

[Whirly]

hmm, i guess i'll make some calls then

[Whirly]

awesome, my nearest kfc is accepting 1234's, has no line, and no shortage of chicken/raincheck!

[sippycupz]

Oprah controls the masses. She did this all for amusement to see how high the mass hysteria and chaos would escalate for free chicken.

[Interstella 5555]

Went to 2 branches at 12 today for lunch. One of them ran out of chicken and had a sign (hand written by the manager) that they've ran out and to come back when they restock on chicken. The other one isn't accepting the tickets altogether.

So yea...is Popeye's accepting these tickets?

[sotc1988]

WELL, SORRY GUYS, WE FUCKED UP BIGTIME.
PLEASE ACCEPT A COUPON THAT WILL ARRIVE IN TWO-THREE MONTHS INSTEAD.
LOL
the food isn't worth it.

[1Sail0r]

Weird, my local KFC is still accepting the coupons. Hit it today for lunch with a few friends to eat, and then later at night again with my family haha :D

So I technically had KFC for Lunch & Dinner. For free :)

[floormat]

this was awesome. i got 7 people in my house. my wife picked up six meals yesterday afternoon. last night i got another 4. this afternoon we got another 5. 32 pieces of chicken with 32 sides for free. my family ate well...

[Interstella 5555]

Seems like the chicken fight between El Pollo Loco and KFC just turned up a notch. El Pollo Loco just released a video on youtube stating that they would accept the KFC coupons only on Mother's Day and give you a 2 piece chicken meal. Seems like a good alternative for those who couldn't use your coupons. I just wonder if they'll accept the "1234" generic coupons.

[$hady]

I still haven't gotten to use my coupons (4 legit and 1234's) I was going to go today but the place looked packed and I was running late. I went to work and everyone was eating KFC..... lol everyone was passing out coupons yesterday and looks like the local place takes 1234's.

I was told they didn't scan them......they just took um and stuck them behind the counter. So why not just copy the regular coupon instead on trying to print copies of the 1234 coupon? If you go to Office Depot or staples and use their nice copiers in the print center it should look like a print out. They won't be free but a $.10 chicken dinner is good darn times!

I'm going friday for sure, i'm craving KFC after seeing everyone eat and talk about it so much lately haha

total Bs. so i wasted my ink #$#$#$# you KFC and i hope you get your ass sued

anyone notice oprah isnt saying a damn thing about this... should start a write in to her show and flood her with complaints

wow... free $4 meal and it's batshit crazy out there.... I bet KFC is feeling the pain...

really? all for 2 pieces of chicken?
and how much ink did you waste? 1 sheet doesn't use that much ink.

[safire]

Looks like I missed some of the news in the past couple days., but here's that jpeg anyway: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/1637/kfcoupon.jpg

Yes, it's the 1234 variety, but better than nothing. Sad thing is I actually wanted to try the grilled chicken, haven't had the opportunity yet, and if I enjoy it, would actually buy it at some point.

Maybe you guys who are cashing in multiple (read: more than 3) meals can carpool with the SDers while they hit up the video game stores. I hope you don't mind BO.

[whywakeup]

Oh Fuck Yeah . Pollo Loco is like 3 minutes from my house . :lol::applause::D

[A Gamer]

Once the PDF version of the coupon was posted on Oprah's site, there was no way to restrict the use to one per person, as was originally intended. As soon as I saw that link I knew it was over. People could literally get multiple free meals a day for the next 2 weeks? Not going to happen.

The backlash on Oprah's site is interesting, but misdirected. I wonder if she will put any spin control on it? I believe that someone at oprah.com put the PDF on the Oprah site because so many people where whining about their trouble printing from the coupons.com site (which was doing it's best to restrict the coupons to 2 per computer). In effect someone at oprah.com sabotaged the promotion by circumventing the coupons.com re-printing restrictions, and now KFC is going to take the hit for it... Nice.

The same terms that applied to the original coupon still apply to the 'rain check', although they have extended the expiration date, so you will still only have about 2 weeks to redeem after you get it. This is KFC's way of still honoring the original terms (1 per person), and not get too much bad press. The only people that are upset are those that were going to rape the offer anyway... :-#

Edit: several of the local chicken shacks that normally honor anyone else's coupons have also taken exception to this one. Way to go, Oprah!

[evildeadjedi]

I didn't have any problems getting mine yesterday. They even let me pick the sides mashed potatoes & mac n' cheez FTW!

[VioletArrows]

"The only people that are upset are those that were going to rape the offer anyway..."

I never get why people say very stupid things like this. Only honest people never get upset by everyone else ruining something?

I'm kinda late to this. I have a legit coupon that starts with 0227. Does this mean, all the people who made 200 copies of the 123 PDF ruined the deal for the rest of us? And now we have to visit KFC twice to get the free meal? Why couldn't they just make unique bar code on the coupons? Wouldn't have prevented the whole mess?

[A Gamer]

But in this case, the honest people will get their one coupon in the mail and they even get a free drink, too. Granted, they won't get it today, so they may still get a little upset...

However, the people that wasted all that ink printing up hundreds of coupons are not too happy about the recent change of events... And those that were trying to scalp the coupons (yep, kids are selling these at school, etc) are going to be upset because that is a wad of cash they will have to refund now (or get the snot beat out of them)...

So, relatively speaking, it is the people that were raping this promotion that are most upset with it...

Oprah f**ked it up when they posted the 'generic' coupon on her site because people where whining that they couldn't get the coupons to print from coupons.com...

And, yes, you need to take your coupon to KFC, fill out a form and wait for a valid coupon to come in the mail... But the new coupon will include a drink, too...

Site said you could print up to 4 coupons...


I can see the lawsuit now...


people get 1 free biscut while the lawerys get 70 million LOL

Apparently, this coupon has caused all sorts of chaos here in Chicago.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sns-viral-kfc-cancels-oprah-deal-story,0,1312317.htmlstory

[VioletArrows]

It might be that the chaos this is causing is more interesting than the chicken. My dad tried one yesterday (surprised it worked, honestly), I grabbed the leg, and its.... meh. Too salty, as I originally suspected and passed on when they were giving out just the chicken the other week.

I wonder if this will make Oprah think twice about throwing her money around like this again.

[xycury]

indeed ultimately it was the greed of the people that caused all of this.

hilarious though.. I wonder what the SD/FW forums are like....

[Perfect*Ending]

Does anyone actually like the colesaw?

I love the cole slaw but never go to kfc . Im not a huge fan of greasy ass chicken.

[$hady]

Well I stopped by today to use my first coupon which was printed legit using the coupons.com printer. They had signs up on all the doors and a sign on the drive thru speaker and windows and yea signs everywhere.

They cancelled it because Oprah.com and KFC totally mishandled this and now they are in damage control mode. At least this way they can limit it to one per household while pissing off lots of potential customers at the same time. They should have just had a free chicken dinner day and been done with it.

[the_grimace]

took my coupon today and said they couldnt take it. something about an overwhelmng response. I called BS, but oh well. no free chicken for me...

[KingDox]

This is awesome, this is the kind of event they will teach in busness classes and talk about how their promotion blew up in their face. Just like 10 cent beer night.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night

[Cimpy101]

I'm so pissed that they are doing rainchecks. I call bait and switch on that. They have so many people coming to their store that are too lazy and will pay for something that they shouldn't have to. They should at least refund or pay for the postage.

[crushtopher]

The grilled tasted more like "half-fried" to me. Within an hour it was liquid coming out the back end.

it pretty much was half fried. I cook a lot, and i know that aint grilled chicken, grilled chicken doesnt have cooking oil oozing out of it.. nor does it has a hardened coat of grease...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night

That's epic. I had never heard about that before. Reminds of a night club I used to go to 7-8 years ago, and one saturday night they decided to do 1.50 pitchers all night. Being regulars, my friends and I were there early and snatched up 4 pitchers. By 11:30pm, all pitchers were claimed and people were getting pretty pissed.

After splitting 12 (3 refills) between the 4 of us, I get the bright (drunk) idea of "selling" the pitchers for $20/each. People were so desperate to get the $1.50 pitchers, they fell for it and our night out was more than paid for. We got our money and got out of their. I heard the following day that a pretty big fight/riot ended up breaking out after we left due to people not willing to give up their pitchers to those who didn't have one. Drunken mob mentality FTW.

Back on topic, it sucks they already pulled the promo.

[sotc1988]

Anybody get El Pollo Loco to accept this today?

[TheRock88]

Yep, just came back and got my 2 free piece, plus 2 sides and some tortillas.

[streetlegalboi]

they giving rainchecks for the future they said.. u gotta go in and pick the form up and fill it out with orginal free coupon sent in.. and they will send u a new coupon in the mail later with a free pepsi... well see.. i doubt it
