Just saw this promotion confirmed, winner every 10 minutes like previous promos. Official rules page doesn't seem to be active yet but here's what we know so far:
Beginning Aug. 31, each Taco BellĀ® $5 Box will include a unique code for consumers to text in for a chance to win the new Xbox One X. The Taco Bell $5 Box includes the new Steak Quesarito, a DoritosĀ® Locos Taco, a Crunchy Taco and a medium fountain drink. Boxes will be available during the promotion from Aug.31 to Oct. 4 at participating Taco Bell locations while supplies last. No purchase necessary. See below for details.

"It's only fitting that the two brands that do 'boxes' best and have some of the greatest fans in the world have joined forces to box up the ultimate food and gaming offer for them," said Marisa Thalberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Taco Bell Corp. "We see this partnership with Xbox as yet another way Taco Bell is tapping what is current in culture and providing our fans access to unique experiences they cannot get anywhere else."

Throughout the duration of the promotion, a potential winner will be notified on an average of every 10 minutes. Winners will be the first to win the Xbox One X, and will also win the Forza Motorsport 7 game and a three-month Xbox Game Pass subscription along with their console. Whether you're a gaming fan, a Taco Bell fan, or just hoping to get lucky, start counting down the days until Aug. 31.

Taco Bell and Xbox first partnered to launch the original Xbox in 2001, and are returning to their roots with this promotion to launch the Xbox One X. After all, it's only fitting to pair the powerful flavor of the Steak Quesarito with the world's most powerful console.

"When it launches starting Nov. 7, Xbox One X will bring gamers an amazing new level of console power and immersion," said Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Xbox. "We have a long history of partnerships with Taco Bell, dating back to the first Xbox, and are excited to once again work together to reward gamers with the opportunity to win Xbox One X."

No purchase or payment necessary to enter or win. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning a prize. The Taco BellĀ® and XboxĀ® Game starts on 8/31/17 at 12:00 AM ET and ends on 10/4/17 at 11:59:59 PM ET. See Official Rules at www.tacobell.com/xbox for details on how to enter without a purchase, prize details, restrictions, and terms and conditions of participation. Open only to legal residents of the 50 U.S. states and DC, 18 years or older at time of entry. Void where prohibited. By texting the short code, you are providing your signed consent to receive autodialed text messages related to the promotion. Consent to receive text messages is not required or a condition of any purchase. Msg & Data rates may apply for each text message sent and received. To cancel, send STOP to 72823 (confirmation text will be sent). For help, send HELP to 72823. Check wireless plan for details. A potential winner will be notified on average every 10 minutes during the promotion. Sponsors: Taco Bell Corp., Irvine, CA and Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA.
Good Deal?

Did you get any codes?

I thought that using mailing labels was against the rules.

Yes, still getting them today. It is the personal info that was required to be hand written.

I get people will do that. But it just looks bad when people say they played 10 times. Maybe be a bit more discreet?

Next thing you know people will be playing for Homeless Marge again. And wheres that one kid that keeps winning trucks

I AM OFFICIALLY THE "WINNER" OF THE "CODES"! https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...2/applause.gif I received more codes today out of the blue and I had received all my mailed codes already. I don't even need to really use the AMOE's bc, Prizelogic have kept me well stocked in advance. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...ies2/peace.gif

I don't know if I will end up winning an Xbox System but, I am truly a winner of the Codes, I have been coded to death. Lol https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...s/emot-LOL.gif
Yes you are indeed the Queen of Codes !! I got some more codes today but still missing a significant amount.

TBH, I don't do that. Feel its a violation of the rules. Probably why I rarely win anymore, but feel like its fraud.Try to lead family members directly to enter---but its horse to water situation, can't make them drink if they don't want to.

It is a bit dishonest I suppose, but we are only two people I dont play for the brady bunch! She wont enter for nothing. I apologize to anybody who is upset to hear this about me, but we dont take much out of the pot I assure you.. 2 bluetooth speakers and a cinch bag from marlboro is about all this year for her lol

When newer members see others do it they get the wrong impression. They look up to veterans with high reps and post counts. They may think entering for family is "the norm".

Secondly, when you speak up about playing for friends/family--inevitably sponsors/judging agencies see those posts. They may be less likely to offer promotions in the future. It would be VERY easy to block everyone from SD from entering and silently DQ people. I have to assume they see the websites we come from when following a link and have logs of that and IP info.

You're absolutely right. Also, I do feel Karma is a big thing to consider. I feel like we are both legitimate members to many promotional companies at 10 years of having users with many of them, but I will have to say I have never won a grand prize in a promotion that my wife has also entered in..

Funny isn't it?

In fact some of the biggest wins I got we're all a single entry into daily promo and only by me in my household

My comment was more in general. Playing for family members has always been a touchy subject here. I get people do it.
Im even ok with playing for a spouse

I just think when people claim they played for 10+ people (slight exaggeration) it does look bad like Implode says.

A thumbs down to everything Implode said. This is an old discussion that has been going on for years and years. Prize Logic doesn't care if you play for your husband or kids. Good grief. It is playing for someone like your co-workers cousin the rules are talking about. My husband wouldn't even know where to begin to play these instant win games. He didn't even know where the towels from the Sprite instant win game came from ! As a matter of fact, I remember years ago emailing Prize Logic if I could play in my husband's name and the answer was as long as it was fine with him !

I got NO more codes today. So grand total 4/31 for me and 2/15 for husband. My kids helped write them and they're just as annoyed as us that they didn't come in. However I remembering helping my mom with some mail-in postcards when I was a teen..Circle of life, I guess.

Much love to everybody and their families who are entering! I love to see all of you guys winning and this seems like a really awesome community of positive people who share the same hobby. The real enemy is people who set up bots and absolutely cheat with fake names and multiple ip addresses.

To all the members here.. I hope you win .. I hope I win.. I hope your daddy wins. It makes me happy and excited to share in on your good fortunes!

My daddy texted me this morning, "Taco Bell said I didn't win, how rude"
LOL!!! He was helping me fish out codes from the trash 2 weeks ago when they came to visit, so I had to tell him when the free code arrived.
