I sent in 12 coupons for my mom, brother, and friend total. So far I have only received 4 in my mom’s name. I wonder if we will get the rest.

Finally, yesterday I received my rebate coupon. The letter attached to the coupon says to bring the “letter and coupon” to KFC. Sounds like another trick so be sure and take both. They are also putting different dates on the coupons so everyone will not be able to go at the same time. Another trick–so read your “instructions” carefully. Enjoy!

My Mom and I too were disappointed when we tried to redeem our coupons on May 14th. Instead we were given a ‘raincheck form’ to fill out to get the coupons at a later date. The cashier told us that apparently some folks had scanned bunches of coupons off one they printed, so now one must send in the form along with the original one that they printed to have KFC verify it was not scanned. We sent our form in the next day on May 15th and still haven’t gotten anything. I’m truly disappointed and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Hope the chicken will be better if we ever go back there.

I went to my local KFC and found that they would not accept NON-COLOR coupons. I sent KFC an email complaining about discrimination(I print from work and only have a regular printer-not color) and they just sent me $4.00 worth of KFC CASH in the mail….:)

Some times complaining works!

I printed out 4 coupons too……. Used 2 and would rather throw the others on the trash. The chicken was dry and had no flavor at all, well at least that is what my hubby said. I won’t the chicken at KFC. So maybe you aren’t missing much. My sister told me the same thing except she said that it looked like it was put in a George Foreman Grill. lol Now that I think about it, it did look like that and squished too.

Karen- SMART idea, YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

**Better yet-make it a class action lawsuit because I’m too sure hundreds if not thousands of people would be eager to join in. They should be sued anyway for breech of services and false advertising.**

I printed out 4 KFC free meal coupons and went to cash in 1 at the KFC in Orange Park FL. I was told that due to the huge demand they would’nt be able to honor the free coupon at this time. There were 2 cars in the parking lot and an entire tray of grilled chicken in the clear case behind the person telling me they didnt have enough chicken!! I asked what if I wanted to buy some grilled chicken and she said then I could have some. I was told that I have to fill out a form, giving my name and address and attach my coupon to the back and another coupon would be mailed to me at a later time. Wow so KFC is going to try and recoupe some of its losses be selling millions of names to ad companys!! I filled out the form but made up a fake name with my address just to see how much junk mail I will get with the bogus name and for every piece I’m going to sue KFC.

I feel bad for the people actually paying money for these on eBay.

Tried to use two coupons today at our local KFC but was told I hadto come inside the store and fill out a form to mail in. The clerk at the KFC said they are no longer accepting them.

It’s not about cost it’s about principle. So, as a matter of principle KFC should honor their commitment to the general public and give out the free meals as stated on the coupon. They are selling the grilled chicken meals so that totally blows the whole “sorry, we’re out” theory. It is just not right when a family piles in the car expecting to eat at KFC and then being handed a “raincheck claim form” and turned away. (I can just hear the screaming kids now!!) There are alot of people out there CHRIS who cannot afford to go out for dinner and this was to be a nice treat for them. A small break. But, NO KFC wouldn’t honor their commitment and that left many disappointed. Children don’t understand next week or next month as they have no concept of time-you might as well tell them NEVER-it’s the same thing.
When my coupons do arrive I will give them to the guy down the road who has 4 kids and just lost his job. He will surely appreciate it. I encourage everyone who finds themselves in a position to do the same- GO AHEAD- make someones day:D P.S. Small, random acts of kindness mean alot

All you complainers are a crock of poopie. Yea, KFC has had a ridiculous response to the offer, and yea, KFC temporarily stopped honoring the coupons. But, if you mail in the coupon with a raincheck form, you will get another coupon for a free meal. So quitcherb*tching that you can’t get your meal ASAP. Send the coupon in, go about your merry ways, then get the coupon in the mail at a later date and redeem. A free meal now or later is still a free meal. Patience is clearly not a virtue for many of you.

New Haven CT Rt 80 . Sign on door says due to overwhelming response coupons will not be accepted, but can be exchanged for a raincheck application. It will then be mailed to you at a later date and as a bonus you get a soda too. What a crock of sh-t. They offer the coupon then won’t honor it.

I live in a small town in Pennsylvania. I had no problems at all using my coupons and one of which was one of those coupons that had the weird bar codes. So I’m assuming it just depends where you live! the chicken was really tasty and I was happy with my free meal!

What a rip – I took the coupon to my local KFC today, after having downloaded the needed software, etc. & printing a coupon. All I did was ask about the meal and the lady said I would need to send the coupon in to their office, as they would not accept it now. So, don’t waste your time on a lousy $3.99 meal – Life it too short – If they don’t want to honor their coupon, then we have many other choices. I don’t like fast food joints as a whole, but have eaten my way up to a size too embarrassed to give out.

Have fun at KFC folks, I’m outta there for good.

We ALL need to email the Oprah Show & let them know how we feel that since Oprah is so generous in giving away FREE cars to her audience & this FREE KFC Meal was made possible by the Oprah Show therefore, you should blast email Oprah also.

She’s such a BITCH!

A ll KFC’s in spartanburg/greenville South Carolina are no longer accepting free coupons! this is NOT right!!! I will never spend my money at KFC again. I hope others agree. please call or email KFC and let them know how you feel! They should honor what they advertise, how could they NOT? is this legal?? They are not out, they will sell you a grilled dinner. as others have said they have signs posted that they will not honor FREE coupons.
