After getting our KFC coupons from the Oprah sponsored FREE meal offer, my family and I wanted to try the grilled chicken. Well to my surprise when I get there I found out they will not give you the FREE meal now, but they will give you a rain check for a later date.
I’m thinking ok what do I do for dinner, as it’s already 6:30pm and were all hungry. So now I have to buy dinner that cost me $ 17.00. When you read the rain check they give you it says that you need to mail it out, and you will then receive another coupon that is good for redemption.
Even if I didn’t buy dinner, then it would still cost me money for the stamps to mail out for the correct coupon. Stamps are now 43 cents, and I have 3 to mail out. That’s $1.29 plus gas to the post office also, and then more gas to go back to KFC again.
If I was to go back with the coupon that they will mail me you can add it all up and FREE is not FREE anymore. To our benefit they make up for any inconvenience, and they will give you a free soda. I don’t drink soda so it is of no help to me.
Well this customer is not satisfied and I will not be going back. Oprah should get her money back; as this is a big rip off.
Thanks for nothing KFC.
