So I bought my big box last night and saved the code until this morning because I figured I had a better chance of winning in the morning when nobody is eating Taco Bell, and I WON!!

Nice! The more winners we get around here, the better. It keeps hope alive!

 

[malfcn]

I'm seeing this right? 😂

 

[FyreWulff]

I'm seeing this right? 😂

yes you won

 

[Th3BranMan92]

Playing in the AM is seemingly the best chance you have. Your code isn't tied to the prize, it just allows you access to "claim" the prize which becomes available every 10 minutes.

 

[justsomeguy]

Amazing, congratulations

 

[RedEther]

Nice to see people here finally winning

Hopefully I'm next

 

[Archpath1]

Damn very nice guys, lets get some more gaffers up on here

 

[Nikana]

Jealous! Congrats

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I wanna try this...but that is just so much food in the taco bell box. I don't know if I can handle all of that.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Congratulations to the winners. I sent my code in an hour late.

 

[Wubbyz]

When does the dorritos thing start? Im gonna go ham.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Taco Bell pisses me off sometimes,
I actually love their food but besides specials their stuff is way overpriced and they can't even put a spoon full of meat on a taco properly.

Got 2 boxes last night and both Doritos taco didn't even have enough meat to cover the length of the taco.

 

[Darklor01]

Congrats to the winners!

 

[Stencil]

Oh shit I remember when they were giving out a PS4, and then a PSVR. The only time I've ever eaten Taco Bell out of high school. I'll keep an eye on GAF to see how the chances are before participating again.

Am I still to believe that putting in the code around 3-5am is more likely to win then doing it in the afternoon!?

 

[Papasmurf531]

I hope to get my mail in codes soon! Itching to try some more!

 

[SealedSeven]

It's more the gap from less texts coming in result in a slight higher odds in hitting the win window. Every 10 minutes has a random 'win' mark that after that time, the next person to text wins. So at lets say 3:23:45 am, first person to text after that time will win. Now since its in the morning, the amount of texts coming in should be lower so might take 5-10 seconds for the next text to come in. Lunch/Dinner time, the next text would come in almost instantly.

Really, it's a way to give a buffer if you're a few seconds past the 'win' time. lunch/dinner, you'd have to be nearly exact to get it.

I’ve had a code for 4 days I’ve been meaning to put in during the wee hours of the morning and keep forgetting. I never win anyways so it probably doesn’t matter lol...

Same here. I'm thinking about setting an alarm tonight but knowing me I won't be able to go back to sleep later.

 

[Durock]

Today was my 8th time going to Taco Bell. Purchased two more boxes. This is the last time. No more. If I lose, I'll wait for the doritos and Mountain Dew promo.

 

[PrinceKee]

Yep, I thought about setting an alarm also. I don’t usually fall asleep until 2am CDT. Not sure if that’s late enough. I have to get up for work at 6:30 so maybe I should try then...

 

[zerokoolpsx]

My brother just won after his 2nd box and his first box, he didn't even use the code. He entered it around 11:48pm. When he told me he won, I was in disbelief. He doesn't even play on consoles anymore lol! Talk about luck.

 

[peppermints]

What do you do if you order the box but don't get the actual box with the code? I remember a couple of times when trying to win a PS4 for their promotion around launch with Taco Bell, I was just given the food in a bag.

ask for the box, and if don't get it, speak to manager. Sometimes they might be all out, or they're holding back and require to be talked too before getting it.

Whelp did all of that. Claimed to have ran out earlier today.

Aren't these codes easy with some sort of key generator? They'd seem very generic just saying.

I have yet to see a code, is it a series of numbers and letters? How many digits in a series?

 

[FyreWulff]

You can only play once a day even if you buy one so rate limiting will make generating them useless and if they find out you're trying to get around it they can void your prize.

well so far 3 of my boxes ( 2 from one spot and the other from another spot in brooklyn )

its 12 letters or numbers

all of my boxes started off with 2Y and they all have an X on the 8th number or letter..idk maybe its just coincidence but thats 3 of the 12 serial

I guess it's better not to try to cheat the system. Their rules do say you will be disqualified

 

[KodaRuss]

I won this morning at about 7am before work. I was likely not going to ever buy an Xbox One this gen but thanks Taco Bell. Looks like I will be playing PUBG a little earlier than I thought.

It comes with Forza 7 as well, didnt realize that.

I will definitely be playing some of the big games I have missed on the PS4.

Sunset Overdrive probably right away.

 

[Camwi]

Can anything be used for the $5 box deal, or does it have to be the Queserito?

Don't know about subbing out the queserito but I sub out the tacos for soft tacos.

time zone??

$5 is overpriced? I think these boxes are actually a good value compared to what I would usually have to pay for fast food these days. $5 for a box like that is like 1990s value fast food to me.

To be fair, it doesn't help that I live in an expensive ass city.

 

[Double Donut]

Me waiting for my postcard codes

 

[malfcn]

time zone??

Eastern.

 

[CloudStrife_ca]

Sooo instead of giving us new games, we're getting tacos with it? I mean I love tacos but I think I'd rather have games.

 

[Naudyboy16]

Me waiting for my postcard codes

Tell me about it!!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Man, I knew there was a trick to this contest. I already used 3 codes. I want my limit to be 5 so I'm not going crazy trying to win this.

This joke is played out bruh.

 

[The Pet of the Month]

Hm, maybe I should try again. I am in need of a bowel refresher, too.

 

[Guileless]

Agreed. On a calorie per dollar basis, it has to be quite high on the value scale. (I haven't done the math.)

 

[ToyMachine228]

0-4 in the wee hours of the morning so far...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The steak quesarito makes it worth it.

 

[Naudyboy16]

Ooo excited just got 3 codes through email. I'm itching out of exicitment.

I'm think I should enter one now and if I don't win do it around maybe 5am tomorrow.

I said besides the specials,
The boxes here go up above $5 when these specials end but the box is a decent deal.
But this is typically what the tacos my locations serves look like

$1.30+

 

[GodfatherX]

So around 7-9 am est seems to be the best time?

 

[Baroquemantic]

I'm 0-3 with this, and 0-20 something if I count the times I tried for the PlayStation giveaways. Think I'm done, haha. Will wait for whatever day it is they give the free code.

Edit: And congrats to the winners.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I'm 0-3 with this, and 0-20 something if I count the times I tried for the PlayStation giveaways.

0-3 for XBox
0-20+ish for PSVR
0-5ish for Gold PS4
0-10ish for PSVita

 

[SRTtoZ]

I dont really want an XB1X but I love Taco Bell enough that ill try. Bought 2, will try to redeem in the morning.

And 5 bucks my ass. Closer to 7 per box in NY.
