Yep, it appears to be working at $5 for me. That's kinda funny … it's their second deal programming screwup in a week. Too bad it's not letting you get it without any extra purchase like the last one.

I'm convinced that sometimes companies let "errors" slip through on purpose in order to make people think they got in on an exclusive deal or something. (Not saying they aren't good deals a lot of the time, but just that it would sometimes be a genius way to promote a product or clear out old inventory/boost sales without doing any advertising)

Because this kinda thing happens way too often for them to ALL be honest accidents, imo.

Also, if they were all errors, don't they have the technology available to automatically remove an item/coupon/whatever from their stores if their algorithms/programming whatever picks up unusual activity like people all of a sudden purchasing that item with way more frequency? Or, using the example of the other Popeyes deals, so many $1 orders going through in such a short period of time? Sometimes these "errors" last for days. Or even weeks (remember when everyone was getting those loaded McDonald's McGriddles delivered for literally cents for WEEKS) I call BS.

Yeah. That's certainly a possibility with something like this, as the little "Easter egg" mentality makes for an interesting marketing idea. But I kind of doubt it was the case for the one last week where you could order a whole blackened tenders combo meal with side and drink for $1. And that one got shut down fairly quickly, but I don't think that most of these places have routines to automatically shut down things like that with unusual activity … someone probably gets an alert about that kind of thing though so they can check it out and try to shut down those kind of problems before too long. It used to be that those kind of errors would last for a long time, but the response in catching them seems to be getting better at a lot of places.

Based on your experience with the last deal, would the deal still be around by dinner time or would they fix the mistake?

The last one was very short-lived … like only a few hours, I believe. This one isn't that crazy of a discount like the other one … it's basically about the same as a BOGO sandwich deal, so they probably won't get slammed with such a huge volume of orders and even if they do realize the mistake, I'm not sure if they'd bother to fix it … this one just doesn't seem like that big of a deal to worry about.

Did you try actually placing an order with only a $5 item? My coupon says $10 purchase required as well, but it takes the discount in the cart as soon as you add something for $5.

In fact, at one point the offer itself says that a $10 purchase is required, but then right below it "you must spend $5 more to redeem offer" even with nothing else in the cart.
