Did some quick math and I think they're still on the every 15 minute plan. I haven't had my coffee yet, but I came out to 52.5 days at 1 per 15 minutes around the clock.

They tried it on me twice in past contests, where they didn't include the box at the drive-through. Just waited for them to come back to the window and said I wanted the box. Damn shady teenagers.

You can't replace things in a box, right?
Their standard tacos are bullshit. Let me spend way to get actual good food ("good" being relative).

Won my PSVR through Taco Bell last year, so I'll give this a shot as well.
Taco Bell just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about fast food culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in fine dining where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the fast food industry, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the fast food consuming public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to eat chalupas or gorditas at Taco Bell, nor will they purchase food at any of Yum!'s restaurants. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Taco Bell has alienated an entire market with this move.
Taco Bell, publicly apologize and cancel the Xbox One X promotion or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Anything you'd recommend? Never been to a Taco Bell, I'd like to try something new today.

gonna check after the gym today. hopefully they have the sign up when i drive by.
Yeah lots of people in this thread have already expressed concern or past experiences of the same issue.
Easy. Just make sure they have the boxes before you buy. If they don't, walk out. You can get better food elsewhere anyway
Sometimes you can see a big stack of them near the prep area so you might not have to ask.
Box or no buy!
I rarely go to Taco Bell but for promotions like these. I've only tried:
Gordita crunch with chicken (was good!)
Steak chalupa (why did they kill off baja sauce?!)
Chicken and steak quesadilla (both good)
I think they charge extra for substituting chicken.

But I buy Taco Bell regardless of promotions.

A little extra charge won't hurt, thanks for the recommendations!
Here's to hoping my colon doesn't fail.

Wait?? What??
Why is this a bad thing for Taco Bell? Hope all the above said is meant to be sarcastic.
All these Taco Bell gaming promotions make me wish I ate something at Taco Bell. I'm just too picky of an eater and there's nothing there for me.
It's an old Gaf meme.
You just replace the names from the original serious post:

This. The only thing I get there are frozen drinks, chicken quesadillas, and Cinnabon balls. Don't force me to eat the horse meat.

Is there a strategy to entering the codes? Like is it a better chance of winning to enter them late at night or early morning - when fewer people are also entering them?

maybe i should try to text the code when there arent many people awake? would that better my chances?? LIKE AT 6AM MST?
I just had Taco Bell for lunch because of this.
...then I grabbed two boxes out of the garbage that I saw people throw away and photographed the code for later.
Look what you've made me stoop to, Taco Bell.

Seems like a good plan, or at least enter when their breakfast menu is being served since no one can buy the box at that time and most people probably text the code as soon as they get it.

Swap out the beef for black beans. I was wary at first, but it's actually quite good and very much not horse meat.
I've won nothing from Taco Bell but I'll be there for nightly attempts with the free code anyways, lol.

Right right. I'll try and resist the urge to use my CODE as soon as i get it. I wake up early for work so i just need to remember to send that code. heh.. i really want to win! im gonna get an x1 eventually, but if i can save that money..shoooooooooot lol

I wonder if everyone trying a "strategy" could backfire if everyone is doing it? I mean.. like 2AM pacific on a Tuesday seems like it'd be pretty dead across the country.
I think its one entry per day, but I don't know if that is per email or if they register any other stats. My wife "loves" taco bell and "loves" trying to win me an Xbox One X...

Well you have to text the code so I think it's just one entry per day per phone number.
I just got one for my fiancé and one for myself. Going to use the codes sometime between 4-9 AM tomorrow. I swapped the steak for chicken at no cost and it's really pretty good, surprisingly. Not sure I could eat it every day though so hopefully my codes will come in soon.

True, and you can ask for Codes a free way by doing an online form i read a little bit about in the rules.
oh shit, just tried to go to tacobell.com/xbox and i got a 404 error! UHOHHH lol ( i was going to pull up the rules and read it again) lol
Literally just did the same thing. Should we be worried?

Without question, I will be doing this...since that's when I have to get up for work every day anyways.
Thanks for the tip.
You totally can through the app. Unfortunately only with things of the same category.
I just ordered one of these woth a beef instead of a steak and two firey dorito tacos replacing the other two tacos. Also made the drink a large for only 10 cents more.

Didn't win ;_;
THIS TIME! RETURN TOMORROW!
You can enter the codes online, so you don't have to text.
I swapped the crunchy taco for a soft taco. Definitely will try the chicken instead of steak next time. It was very.. queso-y.
Otherwise it was fine.

You could always just wake up long enough to enter the code and go right back to bed. Wouldn't take that long, I'd think. That's what I'd do if I could.
Nintendo had one through Burger King for Wii U. Wife won one and we brought it to Wal-Mart for store credit (we had already bought a launch Wii U).

Once I'm up, Im up lol.
I saw somebody said you enter the code online? I don't see it.
