Take a survey and receive a coupon for a dozen free Winchell's donuts. Locations in CA, CO, KS, NE & OK.
 
I don't know if this is only at my Krispy Kremes, but about a week ago.. I was just reading some newspaper there and I was asked to fill out a survey for a free dozen donuts. I filled it out and I got a coupon.
 
Don't do it & Here's why ...

Quoted from message sent to Winchell's HQ by me:

I DID NOT RECEIVE MY COUPON. SOMEBODY ELSE ENTERED MY rc CODE AND STOLE IT. Allegedy they will not be able to use it because it has my name on it. That is not true!!! Nobody is going to be looking over the shoulder of your store employee when "someone like them" presents a request for a free dozen donuts. The identification of presenter will not be verified and you know it!!!

METHOD IS FLAWED. The rc code was not randomized or even encoded so that it could not be guessed by a dishonest person whose 'rc' was issued just prior to my code!!!!!

Why do you insist on implementing such a poor practice for online services. Internet professionals would not have implemented this FLAWED approach.

Huh? What? :confused:

I guess you told them. :D
 
Now we know

You are probably one of the people who will be eating donuts 3 meals a day for the next week.

P.S. I really do not like/enjoy you Avatar Icon. Why don't you change it?

It looks like I got their attention

Web site currently indicates:

WHAT A JOKE!!!
I printed out my coupon on 11/6/03 and it expires on 11/10/03!

They only give you a few days to use it.

This is so not worth the time it takes to complete the survey.

:mad:
 
wowee wow wow

I know what you mean. I just have to ask myself if it is worth flying to California just to get donuts.

Caution! You should call your local winchells ahead of time, before you print the coupon out. Some stores won't accept printed coupons
