Oprah Chicken Fiasco Update: KFC issues rainchecks.

Did you (like most of America) rush out with Oprah Chicken coupon in hand this week, only to be shot down by KFC's badly mismanaged promotion? Don't throw away those coupons yet. You can stop by a KFC store and fill out a form, along with your coupon, and they'll send you a coupon in the mail for a free meal with Pepsi (the original offer didn't include a drink).

They're staggering the new coupon dates so that it won't overwhelm the franchises so much, which hopefully means the stores will actually accept them this time. Of course, they're still making it as difficult as possible to GET your free chicken, but it can be done.

  1. On one of the store's door, they say that they cannot accept the coupons due to vast amount of fraud coupon. How can that happen? If anyone download the coupon, they have exactly the same barcode. How can they distinquish the difference. One more rediculous point is that, on the coupon, they say that the coupon cannot be photocopied and can only be downloaded from UnthinKFC.com. How can someone know if the coupon is originally downloaded or photocopied if printed from a black-and-white printer. This whole thing is just rediculous.
