I'm glad MCR codes are still prizes.

What's the best use of your cash . . . traveling to restaurants trying to pick up extra game pieces, or mailing away for them using forever stamps? laugh out loud

Can I be the first to mention "I wish they had Best Buy Bucks?" Crying

Apparently you can.

The flip of the MCR numbers with the majority being given out in-store indicates the desperate corporate hopes that most of them will be thrown away. And they will, they will... *sigh* I don't know if it's worth SASEing. At the new odds, maximum online piece play across all forty-one days might get me ten MCR wins. And that's assuming Coke doesn't cap us at five.

But beyond that, the most annoying part? Look at the food odds.


Medium Fries 1:9
Quarter Pounder® with Cheese 1:44
Small McCafé® Frappé or Small Smoothie 1:44
Regular McFlurry® or Fruit 'N Yogurt Parfait Odds 1:44
Any Breakfast Sandwich 1:22
Overall: 1:4.4

Yes, this means Death By Medium Fries again.

Man do I miss the days when Best Buy bucks were guaranteed- we use to rake in loads of electronics each year and mailed game pieces to Vermont (opened PO box and took plane ride) to avoid postage charges.

If you are driving past one, maybe...but, I would not make a separate drive there just to look for pieces. Not at $4 a gallon for gas.

Good luck!

The fark......

Who come up with these crap ass prizes...

The funniest thing is that Mcd would rather give you fifty dollars in prize then Arch Cards, what kind of reasoning is that

Food prizes suck even more, every year that buger prize gets crappier and crappier, by next year you probably just a bun...
