10 min on the dot? Or just whenever?
Based on the wording in the rules, it sounds like whenever but that's just my interpretation.

You could get it with chicken, or with no meat.
Or beef. They let you change all kinds of stuff.

IIRC, they randomly pick a time within every ten minute block - and the first text after that second is the winner. At least that's how I've seen it explained.

No response on my text I sent about 10 minutes ago.
I'd like to know this as well. I don't want to eat more of this delicious crap.
Winning replies take longer, congrats!
Now the fun part....
Totally lieing
Bought a 2nd box tonight and holy crap the steak wrap thing was twice the size of yesterdays. So good!

The free online code doesn't start 'till the 22nd. It is currently the 4th, the post office is closed for labor day. Assuming you prepare today and ship out some postcards on the 5th, you could estimate that they'll reach the destination in 3-5 days. At five days maximum, they'd be arriving on the 10th, and assuming that the administrators are quick, they could send you your codes that same day, meaning you get twelve extra days of entering before the floodgates open for the free online codes.
Worth it to me imo. I went overkill and have twenty-one postcards prepared to slip into the post office mailbox tomorrow night.
I'm gonna win me an Xbox One X.
Don't be a cheapskate, go all in!

You can only use one code per day though, no matter how you obtain it.

So, why is it the general consensus that early morning hours are the best time to try your codes? Less people playing, I imagine?

Personally I'm not a fan of the steak quesarito and you can get the "cravings deal" and get a box with that, which is much better and includes the gordita

I bought a box. Did not win. The food was good. But the sodium just makes me feel I'll. I'll probably just try again when the open the free code up. I'm buying a Scorpio edition win or lose.

How does one do the mail in for entries?
Anyone else have their local Taco Bell stores charging more than $5 for the quesarito box?
Making me not want to play...
I swear I went into a Taco Bell a few days ago and the box was $5 but they raised the price to 7.49... really pisses me off.
7.49 for two tacos, quesarito and a drink... not much of a deal.

Taco Bell is a rip off. I go to a place called King Taco, now that shit is good. Tacos in general have gone so far up in price. I remember when I'd leave work to find a specific taco truck in L.A, it's been a long time, but I used to be able to get tacos, that were fat and tasted good! for only 30 cents a taco, those same tacos are about 1.20-1.50 a taco! by today's prices.
Taco Bell charges you around 17 bucks for 12 damned tacos and the majority of the taco is their shredded GMO lettuce.

I mailed 5 on Thursday, if today wasn't a holiday I was expecting to receive the codes today. Hopefully I can get them tomorrow. Told my brother and brother in-law to do it too. So when I get the codes I'll attempt one at like 4am and text then to do theirs like 3 and 5 mins after me.
Hopefully one of us wins.

I'm 0/2 for the $5 box, mailed in 7 postcards yesterday.
Free codes coming on 9/22 will only make the game more difficult lol with so many people playing.

It was like 6.49 for me when I tried this the other day. I thought I was ordering the wrong thing because of the price difference
Prices vary by Taco Bell location - nothing to do with this promotion specifically.
Boxes always cost ~$5.99 for me in Central Jersey whereas same box in South Jersey is $4.99

Taco Bell does not make for good breakfast, I don't think I'll ever try that again 
I don't think I'll win either, lol. Least I tried something new!

Guys, they could always speed things up, but I mailed my postcards last Monday and still haven't received one. I assume the holiday has something to do with it, but don't expect to automatically get your codes as soon as they receive the postcards.
I still haven't got 29 of my 31 codes and I mailed them out on August 21st.
Jeez, still worth a shot I guess.

Damn, I figured they would've gotten more to you by now. I guess next time they do this I'm gonna mail postcards out as soon as the rules go up.

Holy moly really, that's disappointing to hear. I really don't want to go in there and buy their food. There's one about 4 miles from me. I stopped eating fast food a couple years ago and even with that I have NEVER eaten taco bell in my life. I don't like cheese and everything in their commercials look disgusting to me.
My younger brother eats that garbage though but he lives like 30 mins away and since he's only 15, has to ask my parents for money to buy that garbage.
Tempted to walk in and buy a soft drink and see if it comes with a code
The codes are only on the $5 boxes.

Ordered a $5 steak quesorito box in the drive thru today.
Asked for Diet Coke.
Waited 15 minutes.
Got to the food window.
The box was generic white "big box" with no code; attendant said they ran out of boxes with codes.
Got handed me a Diet Pepsi; found out that TB doesn't serve Coke products.
Asked for medium sauces.
Opened the box as I drove away to find I only got mild sauces.
Tried eating a taco while driving; spilled ground "beef" oil on my pants.
Never again, Taco Bell.
