FFC free meal coupon

I can't find the original post showing the link to downloading the free meal coupon but I attempted to use it with no luck because every KFC in my area has a little sign in the window telling you to come in and exchange the coupon for a voucher. I walked in and of course there was plenty of chicken in the racks so it seems obvious that they could have honored my coupon but not wanting to question corporate policy with the minimum wage help I asked for my voucher. It turns out that instead of an actual voucher you get a voucher claim form which has to be mailed in with your coupon and then the real voucher will be mailed to you. I'll probably mail it in to see what happens (most people probably won't and KFC will save a bundle) but this is not much of a deal if you ask me.

For the record, I didn't print out that stupid coupon........it had some sort of spyware it installed on your machine. I refused.

We are so sorry, but due to the overwhelming response to our FREE
Kentucky Grilled ChickenT meal coupon, we can no longer redeem the free coupon at this time. But we will honor our commitment to giving you a free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal.
Please visit a participating KFC restaurant for a rain check form. Complete the form, attach your original coupon , and give it to the KFC restaurant manager or postmark per the form's instructions, by May 19, 2009, and we'll send you a rain check for your free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal at a later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments. Your participating KFC restaurant will provide you with the form you need.
Please note that the redemption periods of the rain checks will vary. All other terms and conditions of the original free Kentucky Grilled Chicken coupon will apply.
Thank you for your understanding,
Roger Eaton

Didn't download it, and don't eat KFC.
Most likely so many downloads that YUM,......the stock holding company is concerned it might affect their quarterly numbers.
Cracks me up the trouble that some will go to for something free.
Evidently the lines have been horrible.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Too much trouble if that's the process; but then I don't like chicken so I wouldn't participate anyway. Sure wish Ruth's Chris or Morton's Steakhouse would do something like this! [:p]
Yeah,......let me know when that happens![:D][:D]

Its not bad for FREE, but if you wanted it that bad i'd probably just pay the $3.00
it's all obama's fault redistb. the wealth, with some help from the other big O.
You just might be on to something there![:0][:D]
The really, really motivated waitress told me that someone had counterfeited Two MILLION coupons, which led to the new program.
I wound up buying a $5.00 meal.
This girly was very good.
I was amazed.

I quit eating there a few years ago when I took a bite of an Original Recipe drumstick and it dumped about a pint of hot grease on my fresh starched shirt.
I looked at their Nutrition Guide, and the new grilled stuff is about 10 times as healthful as their old stuff.

Needless to say, I don't eat there anymore.
Even for free.
Last time I ate there, I was sicker than I had been in years.

Swine Chicken flu. Start the rumor for Okra.
By Friday, KFC had been forced to make a humiliating statement abandoning the promotion after just two days of its advertised two-week run, citing "overwhelming demand". A video was released showing the company president, Roger Eaton, grinning desperately as he insisted the fiasco was proof that "America loves the great taste "
On Broadway, across the street from Macy's department store, employee of the month Rita, a KFC server, was dealing with a queue of disappointed clients. "We are taking a rain check," she shouted, gesturing at a picture of Colonel Sanders on the wall. "The people who run the company, down to his brother that's still living, decided we have to take a rain check. You will get your free chicken. But not today."
To add to the mayhem, folk were flouting the "one coupon per person" and photocopying the vouchers wholesale.
"We're about to go out of business because of people's dishonesty," Rita told the Sunday Herald. "They were getting Xerox copies, going in to work and saying let's all eat free'." The lack of a barcode or serial number on the coupon was a fundamental design flaw.
Janelle Henderson admitted that it was his fifth trip to the restaurant in two days. "But so what? I heard it's free for two weeks. This is bulls**t," he said. Rita smiled wearily: "Thank you, sir. Thank you for being understanding."
The fast-food chain has spent huge amounts of time and money over the years persuading consumers to forget the F word - that's fried, by the way. Kentucky Grilled Chicken is hardly health food, but it does significantly cut back on the 1000 calories in a regular meal and is therefore less likely to contribute to a furry-veined coronary.
Oprah could just about justify her blatant product placement as an exercise in promoting better eating. Her record of campaigning against factory farming is less easy to explain away. Last year, she won a Person Of The Year award from People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals, after exposing the horrific life and death of battery chickens on her television show. Needless to say, KFC's birds are not happy hens raised in the Disney barnyard.
Two-thirds of Americans are overweight. One-third are obese. And a lot of them have looked to Oprah for a way out of fattydom.
Rita's announcement that the coupons were no longer valid did nothing to clear the Broadway branch, which was packed with paying customers.
Taneka Jones shrugged. "In New York City, if it says it's free, it always costs you something," she said.
And anyway, if KFC did run out she could always go to Kennedy Fried Chicken, or Church's Chicken or even Obama Fried Chicken instead.
