Nothing I scanned worked tonight. They all just deducted $0 after showing up as GAME after scanning so register did recognize it but it didn't change after scanning like 3-4x each code. Stuff that didn't discount anything for me was the codes for 15¢ off per gallon, Pepsi, Chips, and Med Coffee... This was at a Circle K+Shell store not standalone Circle K. Have redeemed here before with no issues but this was the 1st time from this contest. Dunno if it they killed it early or my store has glitched registers

I'm sorry to hear that. That's so frustrating. I redeemed 2 fountain drinks and a chips earlier today without issue. I would be a superstar (in my own mind at least) if I could explain why certain codes didn't work throughout these games. It usually seems random, but none of them working does seem like something else.

You can try contacting them through Facebook (or whatever they're called now) Messenger. They have given me extra codes when certain ones have glitched in the past.

Quote from Daisypug :
Dude... Them running out of cups has nothing to do with the contest. The global supply chain has been a wreck since covid started and it's like that at every store, not just circlek. There's even strikes going on at factories and with delivery truck drivers, so even if suppliers have the items the deliveries are getting severely delayed.

Also, it's far more likely that the contest's coupon generator is just buggy and not communicating with the registers to show when a coupon is activated. The registers beeping an inactive barcode is likely what's causing the issues. Recently I had a polar pop coupon not want to come off, but the cashier tried it again and again and on the 3rd try it did work. Now when I go to that store they do the coupons one at a time and my mom and I have not had any issues since.

There are all kinds of serious legality issues with rigging a contest that promoters wouldn't dare go anywhere near. Lawyers draw up these contests. I highly doubt they would be conspiring to make every 7th coupon a dud so people are forced to buy their $2 snacks.
You're lying They had plenty of medium, Xlarge and XX large cups. I guess those cups are immune from supply chain issues. Funny how striking truck drivers only affected Large size cups
.
Plus this doesn't explain multiple prizes not redeeming over multiple contests running over multiple months. A buggy coupon generator wouldn't take months to fix. No response from Circle K and no response to the BBB complaint.

If the contest was legit they would have back up measures for when a coupon doesn't redeem. If the cashier sees you activate it and the timer is counting down they should be able to put in a code to give you the item. Instead they give you the finger,

You are talking out of your ass speculating and guessing without ever having experienced the issue. Another of those "it didn't happen to me so it didn't happen to anyone" sheep

Was able to finally reach the district manager by phone. She was super nice and was shocked at what was going on with the bottle deposit issue. She made it sound like she would get it fixed so hopefully with the new game starting in December things will be better.

I also filed a complaint with the BBB to the Regional manager in my area and am waiting for a response. Circle K is rigging these contests to keep people from redeeming prizes. I hope you file complaints with the state attorney general and treasury department.

She is yanking your chain. Circle K has been unresponsive to complaints directly to them and from the BBB. She just wanted to get you off the phone. Keep us updated if things change.
