A few days ago on my blog, I posted a link where you could download coupons for a free grilled chicken meal at KFC. The coupon was offered through Oprah Winfrey, and boy did people print out the coupons! KFC has been so overwhelmed by the coupons at their restaurants they are running out of grilled chicken. Because of this, KFC is not honoring the initial offer, but will send you a rain check for a new coupon at a later date.
Here's what you have to do to get the new coupon:
If you printed out the original coupon(s), bring it into to KFC. They will give you a form to fill out, and then KFC will mail you a new coupon for a free grilled chicken meal. For good measure, KFC is throwing in a free Pepsi in the coupon as well.
Here is what I don't know yet: If you printed off four coupons, I don't know if they will send you four new coupons like they originally promised. I guess we will find out.
Lessons Learned:
1. If it's too good to be true...
2. Never underestimate the power of Oprah
Here is KFC's president, Roger Eaton, apologizing in an Australian accent:
KFC must be trying to compete with the delicious McRib sandwich from McDonald's; it's hard to resist those yummy painted-on grill-lines...
