Tried about 20 times thus far counting myself and family members, no dice... I have a feeling this will be a bust for me but I'll keep trying anyway!

Heh, same for me. Between my brother, his girl friend, another family member, and myself we have yet to win.

It's so annoying, same here. At first I was trying early in the morning but now just at random times. With friends and family, we've at least attempted like 30xs now since last Friday.

If it weren't for actually seeing people who've poster wins, I wouldn't believe this was legit.

 

[Resident_UA]

I think I just won with free code!!! I never win in these types of promotions

I got to "You are done claiming your prize" screen, but I have not received confirmation email... Should I be concerned?

Another contest, I've been doing these since they started, like 6 or 7 of them now. I go 10 codes a day. Never have won. That's like 700 entries. This contest is stupid.

Well you can only enter once a day so you’d have been disqualified anyway.

Chance is always going to be chance my friend. I generally don't win these types of things either, but it's always worth it to try (for free at least).

 

[MiamiWesker]

Your only allowed 5 per household.

Obviously, I have everyone doing it, 10 different people, 2 houses. Please I'm an expert at this.

"BID
Use points to bid on auctions that close every 60 seconds between 9:01pm and 11:30pm ET."

eww, they make sure it's going to be busy. Least it gives me time tonight to find a few bags to hopefully snag early game auctions when it's likely less people on.

i found that a better system, than just pure luck draw
if you want a console this way, you can get it

But do you force them to input codes at 2am pst?

 

[MiamiWesker]

Lol, that's my job. I was waking up in the middle of the night for the PSVR. Forever loser.

Winner winner chicken dinner. I feel like I might have to wake up at 4/5am Eastern Time to input these codes now.

 

[Livingskeletons]

3rd try on the online code and it's taking a while to get a message back.

Suspense is killing me.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Honestly don't know if that helps, technically it should but from years and years of seeing winners on gaf it's been mostly during the day. It's still by far pure luck.

Good luck.

 

[Slayer-33]

I won at early between 8am and 9m

3rd try too lol

Trying to figure out where the damn doritos bag code is. Fuck that contest, you gotta bid on that shit for it.

 

[JdFoX187]

Has anyone received anything further beyond the initial congratulations email? I've seen some mention seeing a message about finished claiming their prize and I never got that.

 

[Art Vandilay]

Good luck.

It definitely helps. Read the rules.

I may be mistaken of what that person was talking about but I think that's if they won by the text message, they're sent a PIN number to use with registration since if you entered by website you're registered before you have a chance to win.

I combed over the rules and it has all these instructions for text winners and one sentence buried in there that basically says if you won by website (like I did)then no further action needs to be done at this time.

 

[GodfatherX]

Been trying most of these Taco Bell promotions since the original Xbox 360 contest and nothing, but I'm sure this will be promo I actually cash in on

 

[NateDrake]

It definitely helps. Read the rules.

Where in the rules does it say early morning is better? Isn't it just because fewer people should be trying at such an hr?

 

[Art Vandilay]

Yes, and that’s why it helps.

Edit: the rules say within every 10 minutes an opportunity to wins opens up. When less people are entering, the odds are in your favor.

Ah, awesome. You and I are in the same boat, then. I won by website too and hadn't heard anything. I can rest easy. Thank you, sir.

Quite welcome. Believe me, I had to have read the rules slowly a dozen times to make sure I didn't screw anything up haha

 

[Baroquemantic]

0-12 here now. Probably won't win, but I'll keep trying.

 

[hogendaz85]

Won at 6:53 am est guys!! Whew! I never win things I still cannot believe it!

Now only got to wait on the verification email.

Congrats, I woke up around that time frame, and something was like enter the code, but I felt like more sleep was more important and I rolled over and went back to sleep.

Congrats though, hopefully next time I get that feeling I actually do it then and there.

 

[Nikana]

Congrats to those have won. I am still crying and praying I get one....pray for me gaf.... pray for me.

 

[Darklor01]

I forgot to try earlier and I’m not awake early enough / late enough to try at better times. As expected, no dice.

 

[Archpath1]

Not going to lie , JELLY I am
Sorry GAF, must push on

*eats meal deal*

 

[Okami Haundo]

For those who seem to be winning, is there a "sweet spot" timing wise that's working? The wife and I get up at around 6 AM EST and I've been trying around then with no luck. I'm also torn on whether or not I should use all 5 available entries during the same 10-minute time slot or spread them out... I've been using 2-3 entries during the same 10-minute window, while waiting to use the other two. Share your strategies!

Edit: I'm dumb and make large purchasing decisions on a whim.

 

[Double Donut]

It seems like nearly all of the winners here enter at 5-6am. I've been entering in the 2-4am range and keep getting nada. I'm convinced there aren't even consoles being given at that time lol.

That's prime west coast Taco Bell time.

 

[FinKL]

Congrats all, I dont think I can get up that early as a west coaster

 

[Livingskeletons]

We still have time people. Keep the faith.

 

[Naudyboy16]

I'll keep attempting until Ocother 4th!!!! I NEED to win.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Looks like my Taco Bell ran out of boxes. Oh well. Less tempted now. Already have it preordered anyways.

 

[mernst23]

Damn, you got worked.

But yeah, I still haven't received a response. I'm just going to pretend that I won for now.
