Just put in 2 codes, the prize if I win is a $10 Sega E-Store card for BOTH! What a crappy start. Frown I did get events, Men's Rings and Men's backstroke. I think it is working now. HTH

Entered the two codes that I rec'd from McD's today. Both require the women to win the Gold Medal in the 4x100 freestyle. One of the two was an instore winner of a Very Berry Chiller.

If anyone mailed in for game pieces, how many did you receive per envelope? There is only one game piece on each item in store.

Good Luck to all!

Wait -- so in order to get the MCR points, the U.S. team has to get a gold medal in the randomly-chosen event? And there's no way of telling whether I can get more than one bonus code until after this happens?

Ouch.

*puts trade bank back*

ETA: After some thought, I did post a trade offer of 10 MCR per unused game code (and extra for bulk). If I can spare one person the pain of watching dressage, it's worth it.

If you were having trouble with your codes not giving you an event or saying invalid, try re-entering them again. They should work now.

I've got two comics and three MCR offers on five different events.

To add insult to injury, I just noticed the comic is Sonic The Hedgehog.

EEK! Wow that is just so wrong. I also wish they would have two tabs and not just one… I mean come on.

I might buy some more fries since they are really good...but so far not that impressed game wise.

I also have a feeling the the MCR are only able to be redeemed one per account like what they do with the subway ones.

My local McD's ran out of the special Medium Fries containers. Stick Out Tongue Nothing to do but hope they restock before the end of the promotion.

So far, I'm having better luck with getting food winners than I am in finding decent numbers of pieces or getting the random events. Prizes have mostly been a loss. I just got my first Maybe Music offer -- but it's from a limited catalog. What's in the catalog? Win and they'll tell you. If you're lucky...

Still willing to trade for piece codes. My futility needs more exercise.

If you check your My Events page, it's organized by the date each sport goes off and will tell you the results for yesterday's games. In my case, it just says 'Out' for the lone event I had going on the 28th.

I've started a U.S. gold medal list in the open edit section so people will know which randomly-assigned events are winners.

Had three events/four prizes for today that were all losers. Fortunately none of them were anything more than coke points/comic book/song download.

Really hoping to get one of the $25 off coupons for the NBC shop.
