You must resemble your avatar in real life.




BTW, what is the limit to BB bucks that you can use at one time?

Don't think there is one. I'm up to 10 so far, but my wife is getting tired of eating the fries and I don't like them since they took out the beef flavor.

Link?

Anyway it's much better because you get guaranteed $1 BB buck + 2 game pieces for 74 cents (stamps) plus the price of two envelopes.

Is that true, I thought that's just for 2 game pieces and not the BB Chance?


Technically, you ONLY have to spent $1.XX for a large fries to get at least $1 BB buck (rare chance for $5 and up).

I'm doing this because I don't want to spent REAL money for game, unless it's $19. I don't play games that much anyway.

Check the official rules at McDonalds.com or the huge thread over at FW about it. You can indeed mail in an SASE and receive the game pieces and a BB chance piece. The only catch is that the addresses on the envelopes must be written by hand.

If you live in Vermont, you don't have to include postage on the envelope to be mailed back to you, making this an even greater deal.

This is hilarious. You spend 2.00 to get a dollar at best buy? LOL It's not worth the time or the heart attack.

Wait a second..... What the heck is it with these best buy things?!? All I get are stupid little peel off things that give the names of places on the monopoly board... Are there separate things for best buy? (IF so, I want my best buy tickets, thank you... even if best buy is 60 miles away)

Nevermind... I read the rules... I have to purchase a LARGE fries to get in on the Best Buy things... What an agonizing decision... there's already too many fat grams in a medium fries (whatever happened to small?)

So 74 cents = $1?

That's like 25% off EVERYTHING at Best Buy if you have enough time to write out all those envelopes :D

I think McD's needs a new system of distributing these things like printing out codes or something because I suspect that all the local McD's around here
have been cleaned out of stickers by thieving employees.

I thought there was a limit to the # of BB$ you could use on a single purchase?? :confused:

If not... whoo hooo! I'm going to go buy some stuff on them... I'm also going to ask for that laptop behind the glass and then proceed to walk out.
