McDonald's Monopoly 2006 Game w/ Best Buy Bucks

[Mr Bob]

"Stamps (100) $39.00
Envelopes (200) $02.00"
- How come you only used 100 stamps for 200 envelopes?

The worst thing is going to McDonalds and ordering their artery clogging large fries (I thought they still had supersize fries-when did they get rid of super size????) and not even getting 2 game pieces. Basically I just threw out $2 FOR NADA. If I call up I bet they will tell me the same thing they did last year when I was pissed, wanting my game pieces, they said something like they ran out of Monopoly fry boxes so it was optional if the customer gets the game pieces, and that McDonalds isn't obligated to give the game pieces even with qualifying select sandwiches drinks and fries. Boy was I pissed.... It happened a few times last year from more than one McDonalds and if I didn't use the drive through I woujld have made a scene. My fault as I didnt check the bag till I drove away or else I would have asked for an exchange.

Can you use bestbuy bucks to buy BB GiftCards instead?

Odds are, however, with that many a manager will be summoned and I read dozens of horrendous stories from last year involving everything from being shot down to having security escort you to the back office.

Let them try. Lawyers would love to take a case like this and I could use a "McDonalds spilt coffee" kind of settlement.

If you knew what the McD coffee spiller actually got after the judge reduced her award, you would not have taken a coffee to the crotch for it...

It's time consuming as hell, but you have to utilize the online store to get the best pricing and (manually enter every 17 digit code per bbb) online you can utilize up to 40 bbb codes per item

Um, that seagate HD and LG DVD burner...are those rent-a-center prices?

- I think you can buy something worth the amount of your BB bucks, then return it for store credit, and THEN buy the GC.

has to be under $40. they wont take a return even for store credit if it is over 40 without a receipt.

also you cant do like 5 different 40 dollar returns because they take your info down and check how many returns you have made...

Just went to the mailbox and BAM!

53 sitting in the box bound in a rubber band.

One was in the "WE CARE" USPS carrier as it torn badly, but the game pieces are still inside. Almost all of them had the ink smeard a bit. It could of been rain but more likely something in the sorting machine did it. One of my envelope has someone else address smeared on it back wards:
James McLcan
???? Bluebell
Highland, TX 78???
:laugh:

They all appear to have game pieces, I'll post an update when I get them all open and shucked!
:thumbsup:

 

[Mr Bob]

Ok, I just called BB and they said they don't issue store credit at all without a receipt. Guess I was wrong.

 

[Devil2U]

Oaky, so out of the 53 envelopes I got toady, here are the results...

Well, I sent in 250 around the 3rd and I have received nothing up to today. I got 228 bundled together today, so I hope they did not lose the other 22. Here are the results, which turned out pretty good.

204 $1BB
24 $5 BB

17 Breakfast sandwiches
7 Breakfast combos
3 Large Beef

Tons of fries, drinks and Mc Flurries.

Not too bad since my $5 BB win rate is about 1 in 9.5........

 

[intogamer]

whats the limit for mailing?

I'm still not sure if I still want to write 200+

 

[IMtehUber1337]

There is no limit.
Just think of it this way
Are you going to buy something from best buy that you can't get for 40% less somewhere else.
If not do this.

 

[Rassi]

Ok, I got my last 25 envelopes back today. This was my best day so far, with 3 $5 BBB and 22 $1 BBB.

Overall, I got 5 $5 BBB and 95 $1 BBB, for a ratio of 1:20, worse than the stated ratio of 1:12...

I also got about 40 food prizes, but didn't count those as closely.

Here's hoping that double-dipping works...

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

LLLLOOOOLLL.

Ouch. Last year the ratio of $1 to 3$ was about 1:3. This makes it even LESS worthwhile. Glad I didn't waste my time this year.

 

[Lopyswine]

ehh its all peference...

i enjoy opening the envelopes and sorting while i am watching football on sundays..

 

[Lucky]

Sheesh. Sent out 150 envelopes on 10/5. Didn't recieve any until Friday, when I got 37. Another 102 came today, and one was iddressed to another person, so I've still got 12 floating around if they didn't get misdelivered.

139 entries.
127 $1 BB
12 $5 BB

$187. I spent $150 or so, so I'm coming out with a bit of BB profit.

Ended up with 59 food pieces, but strangely not a single "beef sandwhich". Heavy on fries and breakfast sanchwiches. 2 extra value breakfast meals. A handful of mcflurries, and about 15 drinks. I had already decided to donate the food pieces, but decided tonight my charity would be the local fire station. I'm sure they'd appreciate breakfast and late night snacks as they are 24/7 staffed.

I'm getting plenty of ringtones online, but I don't knwo what quite to do with them. I have sprint.

I'm happy with that result. Put's me ahead of the curve.

Taken a hot coffee to the crotch was the customers error surprised they won anything. False arrest and defamation of character, big difference, their negligence and they would pay out the nose...

Sorry if this was covered and I missed it, but do you have to put your return address on the SASE?

- From what I read, no you do not.

 

[IMtehUber1337]

I did just to be sure but if you do, write 3 addresses.
Outer one,
the Free game piece request
your return address
Inner one
your address

 

[Mr Bob]

MX2times was talking about the SASE, not the outter envelope.

 

[IMtehUber1337]

Why would you put a return address on the Self-Addresses Stamped Envelope(SASE)
