So do I have to hand right the Game Code request address or just my own? I could interpret these rules either way but it does not specifically state that I have to write the contest address.

So, if I wait until 9/22/2017, and win one from the enter without a purchase via the online method and in, there's a shot I wouldn't get one until 6 to 8 weeks after the promotion ends, whenever that is. Interesting. I'll try it anyway, even though I'm buying one.

I'd imagine as a partner in a Promotion like this, MS will either provide them to Taco Bell around the same time retailers would get their allotments. Taco Bell would then have to find ways ship them to wherever they have to go at the slowest shipping speed possible for cost reasons. They'll more than recover any cost in the bump in sales for the boxes being sold in stores.

Only:


A. Prizes (5,040): Each winner will receive an Xbox One X Bundle, which includes the following items: one (1) Xbox One X Console, one (1) Forza Motorsport 7 game, and one (1) three (3)-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass.

Hmm, the odds aren't as good as I thought.

Every time this type of promotion runs I ask my local Taco Bell if they have the boxes. They never do.

lol probably the employees are conspiring with friends and family to take the boxes and use the codes on them. Yeah, i've ran into that a lot where they don't have the boxes. bleh.

Yeah, I don't know where it started that people have to reference getting diarrhea from Taco Bell, but it's stupid. I never have issues from eating there.

I've never had diarrhea, but the small amount of food they give you for the price is sad, the chicken tastes like cardboard.

Also, any place where the beef costs less than the chicken should give anyone pause.

Chicken NEVER costs less than beef..... which means.... it's not really beef. There can be no other conclusion.

True story. This always seems to be about the time I order a big box and they hand me a bag with all my stuff in it.

Then I just sit there like "wtf?"

When this happens to me, I ask for a manager. I love Taco Bell, but I'm going there specifically for those boxes. If they don't have them, I ask for a rain check.

I'll try once maybe, but I don't think I can trust my usual Taco Bell with not stealing the codes for themselves.

It's a joke. Stop getting so damn defensive over Taco Bell.

If you want to improve your odds, Find a older Taco Bell that is low traffic, in an older neighborhood with mostly retirees, and staffed by said retired people.

Never heard that joke before!



Yeah... I'm not sure how I ate so much of it back in high school. If I had any now I would probably live in the bathroom for a day. As we've been discussing though, there are plenty of entry options that don't involve buying and eating Taco Bell!

Yea I read the rules and regulations, I'm definitely going to do the post card thing. I want an Xbox One X!!!!

Presumably, he means that the retirees don't care about winning an Xbox One X so they won't hoard the boxes/codes/be sold out of them.

I'm not sure how well it's enforced, but the rules are pretty clear that an employee of TB can't win....

Just don't give them your money until they tell you they have the box.
