COWBOYS

Thank you so very much

Says Valid in United States. Funny, does not appear to be valid in HAWAII. Isn't Hawaii part of the United States.

The coupon is for their new grilled chicken, not the 50 year old fried chicken.

I tried to print out the Oprah free KFC giveaway coupon and it want allow it to be print from my printer. I installed all of the software that the coupon assisted on me to do. Ran software, still will not print coupon.

I'm not gonna eat any 50 year old fried chicken! Mine has to be fresh or forget it.

"the company is promoting the meal that the Colonel has been serving for 50 years. "

Uh no... the coupon is for the GRILLED chicken, not the FRIED chicken.

me and my family love kfc

Dawn had trouble with the coupon software. Anybody else? I was about to print out the coupon but stopped after being prompted to download the enabling software. I'm at work and didn't want to get in trouble with the systems guys.

i love kfc

"As pointed out by commenter Doc, it's KFC's new grilled chicken, not the traditional fried stuff. This would have been obvious to me had I closely read the coupon terms I posted below!"

So you write a story (ok, blog) without even knowing what you are writing about? Giving opinions on stuff is fine but at least research it and know what you are talking about.

I'd expect something better out of a newspaper, for however much longer they will exist.

Chickens gone wild.

The uncensored edition.

The upcoming yet to be announced promo for KLC has caught my attention: Kentucky Live Chicken.

I'm glad Kentucy Fried Chicken is getting something new. I love their fried chicken, the orginal.Thank you very much for the conpons.

No amount of trying resulted in coupon being printed. Computer got hung up as well. Geez Louize ---what kind of promotion is this?

I am a regular customer of KFC really
love the new chicken

Thank you I love watching your show each night your the best oprah

Thank you I love watching your show each night your the best oprah

THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL AT KFC .WAS VERY GOOD.ME AND MY CO-WORKER'S LOVE IT

I think KFC is pulling a fast one. So far haven't found a KFC in NC that will accept the coupons. But they are busy with people going in the restuarant with the coupons - being turned down and the people end up spending money.

Ophrah, I am hungry for KFC. Would really like to try the new barbeque grill.

I tried printing from several computers....It WONT print! So this is how they get away with such a promotion...No one can actually download the coupon. This is annoying

Thank GOD For Oprah!! Patience is a Virtue! This is Great-Pay It Forward!! Keep Trying-Be Grateful-It's Great Food.

O.K. What is going on? I tried to print out the coupon and it would not let me. A security system thing keep popping up and it won't let me get in nor, will it let me print the conpon. Could someone explain? Thank you.

The grilled chicken is not offered in Memphis, WHY NOT?

Can I use the coupon for the original?

This is going to lead to some serious hits on their profits. They made the mistake of making the coupon a pdf, which means that there is no control. One could bring in this coupon for 3 meals a day until the 19th and bring their buddies and coworkers. Not very bright on their part.

my friend said he tried to use his coupon in houston texas and that kentucky was not participating.

Good Luck,
Hope it is not a scam!

What a neat thing for Oprah to do.....buy us all lunch. I went to my local KFC here in Yazoo city Mississippi only to find out that THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING the coupons. Oh well ,nice try Oprah..apparently KFC doesnt agree with your act of kindness,

Tess Campbell

No trouble using the coupon in Ohio, THANKS Oprah!!!

Kentucky Fried Cruelty. Finding new ways to market unhealthy and inhumane food every day. Hope everyone using the coupon enjoys the antibiotic-laced meat. Yummy!

No trouble using the coupon in Ohio, THANKS Oprah!!!

I had trouble printing it out also. So then I went to the firefox web browser and was able to print it out that way.

I tried several times the afternoon of May5th and now able to get thru on the 6th. I have made at least a dozen attempts to download the coupon software & appeared to be successful but every time I try to print the coupon is kicks me back to tell me I need to download coupon software. This looks like a SCAM to me!

I can't print either. If coupons won't print and some KFCs are not accepting them this promo will backfire on them. There are plenty of other places to get chicken. Even supermarket delis are as good as KFC.

I have visited more local KFC to this chicken with out the coupon and have been told 1. won't be available until after 5/1. went back 5/5 and was told won't be available until 1-2 weeks because they don't have oven to cook it in. Do not use an oven for the biscuits. what a crock. this is in Liberty, MO.

I couldn't get it to print out either, even after dowloading the coupon printer. I want my free chicken darn it.

.Tennessee loves it and we thank you Oprah and KFC. Its hilarious reading how people would gripe about a free piece of chicken or when it does'nt work for THEM its an automatic scam! Meanwhile....... back at the ranch I will chomp on my chicken :)
Go Vols!

My local KFC wouldn't honor the coupon. Said the response had been overwhelming and they had reached their limit.

Just came back from KFC in Lisle, IL

When got there i was told that they have shortage of chicken and because of that will not accept the coupons... What a bunch of BS....

Lisle, IL

can't print coupons anyway it tell you you did so this is a bust. kfc should quit while it can .

Try to use Internet Explorer if you are having trouble printing the coupon, it seemed to work for me... I was using firefox, but then tried internet explorer and voila

Thank you, Oprah! Went to access her site to get to KFC coupon, and there was a message about extreme amount of Web traffic, and Oprah's Web page had posted a PDF of the coupon! Was able to save the coupon to print out. PDF is gone this morning from Oprah's Web page. Thank you, Oprah!

Just got back from KFC in Mokena, IL.

They would not accept the coupons because they were not a stand alone KFC. It was a KFC/ A&W.

Unfortunately for those who worked on or near 42nd St., in NYC are not able to use the coupons. A KFC employee was literally screaming in front of the KFC stating, "NO MORE COUPONS" and turned people away. Thanks for nothing!!!!

I went to use my coupon today and there was a notice on the door stating that if your last 4 numbers in the bar code are 1234, the coupon is no good! Came home to try to print again and the site would not let me print another coupon.

i need a coupon for kfc

If the coupon doesn't print, consider it a blessing! the portchestoer NY store sort of honored a few before noon (2 wings, mash & no biscuit) and then told the remaining coupon holders (that were shunned into a separate line) that the chicken was gone.
I eat atr this KFC regularly and was treated like a vagrant because I had a coupon; that they issued!
KFC = Keep your F'ing Chicken!!

well we went to kfc in brooklyn center off brooklyn blvd and they also said that if any of us had the same numbers they weren't going to take them.everyones coupons end with 1234'so we went to another one got served went back and talked with the 1st place.they were only serving one per car.

At first had problem printing but a second try was successful. Gliches do happen & public response is hard to gauge. Too bad so many have forgotten how to say, "Thank-you!" for something they are given. I wish that it would've occurred to me to pass my coupon to someone who really needed a free meal & doesn't have a computer to print a coupon. Thank you KFC and Thank you Oprah.

i cannot print the coupon
thank you

I HAVE NO PROBLEM PRINTING OUT THIS COUPON BUT THERE IS A LOCATION WHERE I'M AT IN WESTMINSTER, CA DOES NOT EXCEPT THIS COUPON. THIS IS FALSE AVERTISEMENT.

I don't care much for KFC cause I can't stand fried stuff but now that it's grilled I might go there more often. The only thing I have gone back to buy though is their yummy chocalate cake. IT'S SO DELICIOUS!!!!! :)

I printed the coupons at home and went the same night for my free meal. The only problem I had was that I didn't get to pick my sides.

This is exactly how a company ruins their relationship with customers.

I have been to 3 different KFCs. They do NOT accept the coupon, period!!! These are in large metro area, so what is the point of having such a promotion??...just to aggravate people?

El Pollo Loco is still better! Don't let the grill marks on the KFC grilled chicken fool you!!!

El Pollo Loco is still better! Don't let the grill marks on the KFC grilled chicken fool you!!!

Thanks Oprah! Glendale, AZ had no problem taking the coupons! My family had a great dinner last night! :)

They HAVE to accept the PDF coupon.

At some point the link at oprah.com/KFC changed from unthink.com to the PDF of the coupon.

I imagine that this was done because the servers at the coupon printing place couldn't handle the rush.

Either way, it is a promotion that they are running through Oprah and Oprah said go to oprah.com/kfc to print the coupon.

They cannot give those coupons out on Oprah.com and then decide that they are not going to take them.

This whole promotion is a freaking disaster. I'd bet it leads to Oprah apologizing to viewers on air.

KFC needs to think things through a little better next time.

Don't they know that things go "viral" online these days?

ripped off as my local columbia ave kfc would not accept coupon

false advertising again

thanks oprah--thanks kfc

Can I use it at Lee's?

Well, I showed up with three friends at the nearby KFC and it was way too crowded. So went to the Drive-Thru. We were told that they were out of the grilled chicken and we should come back after 40 mins, but if we ordered the regular fried chicken we could use our free meal coupons !!! Well, ofcourse we used the coupons and got 3 free original meals ! Looks like the coupon is not limited to the grilled chicken .. lol

So I went to the KFC on Topanga and Sherman Way in Woodland Hills and when I got there they were accepting the coupon but that I was the last person they were accepting. The workers put a sign on the window that the deal was first come first serve to the first 150 people! But no where on the coupon does it say that. So when I was eating my free KFC a grip load of people came in ignoring the misspelled sign out front and started a huge commotion saying that they were going to call Oprah and the KFC corporate office. Isnt this false advertising?

KFC Blows...Oprah blows. Coupon won't print....

Great! Spend a half hour trying to download these coupons only to find out they are not honored in Hawaii!! Aparantly someone forgot to tell KFC that Hawaii is a state! Douchebags!Thanks for nothing KFC! I'm going back to Popeyes!

Can't print the coupon here either. Using Firefox, firewall's off. Ripoff, Thanks for nothing, Oprah and KFC.

This is a good site to visit if you're looking for the coupon
http://oprahkfccoupon.blogspot.com/

In Knightdale NC, we did not have any problems printing or using the coupons. The KFC is right next to the office, so we saw the amount of people that went through and it has been slammed all day. I can't believe they are still serving free chicken, there is no way they are going to be able to make up that revenue.

where go to get the coupons

As I suspected, the KFCs in my area "Honolulu" does not "participate" in this promotion. This is not the first time they done this to the people. What a bunch of baloney they've become!!! I will NEVER visit another KFC AGAIN!!! I have way better luck at Popeyes.

Will someone tell me if Hawaii is part of the U.S.???? Those lying scumbags. I will never visit another KFC.

kfc rocks. Thank You Oprah

I REFUSE to install UNKNOWN SOFTWARE (aka: coupon printer software) on my computer for free chicken.
The security of my computer is more valuable than a wing or a breast. The last thing I need is spyware or to have my homepage hijacked.

Spent 1/2 hour trying to print coupons, that's a 1/2 hour I'm never getting back! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

These are not a scam, just troublesome to download on some systems. My wifes pc downloaded them no issues. Mine hung up and only offered the pdf type of coupon most kfc's are now refusing. I had to try a few hacks found online to successfully download my four coupons. Actually, one can download as many as you have time for once you learn the hack. I imagine they will be getting a lot of counterfeit coupons. If a simpleton like me can figure it out, imagine what today's savy teen hackers are doing with this offer. Oprah may break the bank on this one!

S UCKS! Said I printed all the coupons that are allowed. I never printed out one coupon!!

You need to have the printer hooked up, turned on, and set to default, also turn off popup blockers, and be ready to allow access via the firewall if needed.
If the above are not performed first, it will not work and you are out of luck. Try it in both firefox and IE.

It has been "widely" reported that Oprah's weight gain is due to an unspecified medical condition. Rumors are circulating that she was wooed with an unlimited supply of KFC to introduce a promo that she knew wouldn't deliver. Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins.

In marketing, hype and spin without delivery what was promised is the worst sin. Disclaimers "KFC is not responsible for any technical problems or malfunctions of computer systems, servers or printers or lost or unavailable network connections." may protect them legally, but the public doesn't give a rat's behind, and no amount of damage control will change the public's perception.

Who's head is going to roll at KFC? If the folks at KFC were saavy enough to include language in their contract with the software provider that they were open to damages if beta testing was not executed with due diligance.

What monetary value would you put on the damage to the reputation of KFC?

Experience had taught me that fast food is a desperate, last act to fill the belly, and should be avoided at all costs. I don't know how many people share my view on the sad state of the fast food business, but at least in my case, it's their own doing.

If I have to dine out they won't be seeing my business ever again.

I printed my coupon fine. I did have to restart my PC once I installed the coupon software. I'm running XP. I plan on deleting the Software and checking out my system out for spyware and such. I hope I can redeem my coupon for the meal I had to run off to work and KFC was closed once I got my 1st break. I work the graveyard shift. Thanks in advance Oprah and KFC.... BTW, What do you think about the new Grilled chicken? Is it as good as the Original or the Crispy Chicken? Let us know.

Hey, my printer spit out a thousand of those coupons, I had to reload the paper.

(I'll send them to Oprah, giver her a call...)

I downloaded the software and printed 4 coupons, each had a unique UPC code. Interestingly enough sometime ago, my network guys at wk specifically warned us not to install the coupon printer software indicating famous for virus. I think it might have to do with having to disable firewall to download - whatever. When I rebooted after printing, I had a total keyboard & mouse failure (wireless). Might be a coincidence - might not - but after I spend $100 on a new wireless component, I'm uninstalling that flipping software with the quickness.

Downloaded, printed and used coupon in Illinois fine. Thank you Oprah.

As we are experiencing a recession and many of us are unemployed and others are living paycheck to paycheck, Oprah and KFC reminded me how wonderful and beautiful America is - feeding a Nation with food and spiritual blessings! It reminds me of a biblical truth when Jesus fed 5,000 from 5 loaves of bread, 2 fish and had 7 baskets of food left over! How sweet it is!

Just peeking at Oprah's web site showed me that the generosity spilled over where some gave their coupons to Americans down on their luck and others in college with limited financial resources. This community outreach reminded me of the Pay It Forward message in the movie with the same name.

When I got on line at KFC, it was like a block party for America! As an unemployed Ivy League educated women - Oprah and KFC did something that many have failed to do! They reminded us how special we are and [All Americans] deserving of this!

I hope this Pay it Forward message spills over to Corporate America. .
According to a survey by human resources consulting firm Kelly Services, Inc, 26% of the U.S. working population now find themselves in temporary positions. Please be like Oprah and KFC and reinvest in America and Americans.

God Bless Oprah, KFC and America

KFC leaves a bad taste in the mouths of some customers

As you may know, when Oprah had announced the "free" chicken deal on her show and viewers who wanted to take a part of the giveaway, had to download the coupon from her website. The demand was so overwhelming that it temporally disabled the site. When you did get your coupon, a customer was not prepared for some of the obstacles before them.
There are about five locations in south Tulsa. In north Tulsa, the city's predominately African-American community, there is only one KFC, and they did not offer the grill chicken at all. So, customers were referred to other KFC sites to obtain the free meal.
Rumors has it- that a survey was taking earlier in the year that determined that north Tulsans would not support grill chicken. Many of those from north Tulsa traveled out of their way- were encountered with long lines with each customer with a coupon in their hand. During the periods of rush hour, customers were greeted with the announcement that the coupon were only to be used between the hours of 2pm and 4pm.
I myself, along with others, who had a coupon in hand, wanted to know why KFC was not prepared for the power of Oprah? KFC should have known what Ms. Winfrey could. This is a person who made entertainers and authors rich just by her endorsement. For goodness sake she help elect a president!
Meantime those who were turned away, wasted precious gas and time traveling outside their community to take part in this promotion. But Tulsa was not alone. Similar occurrences were felt by KFC consumers in other cities that attempted to make good on the "FREE" offer.

Just found out from KFC corp office that May 7th will be the last day of their free chicken promotion.. That they have been so overwhelmed that they are going to end the promotion and make a press release and maybe even offer a rain check... My question is can they legally do this? Don't they have to honor the coupon anyway?

I tried to use the coupon today, and they did not honor it. They said something about mailing a rain check coupon, whatever that means. That irritated me, as they shouldn't be offering something they can't back up. I don't think this is going to help their image or their business...

Darn, i was looking forward to a chicken dinner tonight! The last three were pretty good.

I was told that the coupons could only be used at a KFC corporate run store. The question I have is How do we find out which store is a corporate run store?

i printed out the coupon's on the 5th in IL. i printed out 4 coupon's per household like it said with no problem. i went there on the 7th out in the rain driving and when i came up to the window they tried saying that i presented them a photo copy. they showed me a photo copy and a color copy that had a larger margin in the expiration date box showing a watercolor on the color printout and dots on a black and white printout. my printer printed a black and white and didn't print out the dots. i explained to them and all they said was "sorry" and gave me a raincheck form. what the hell, trying to say i commited coupon fraud. i called another kfc location and others had a problem with their printer printing out a watercolor mark. so i know it just wasn't me. not sure if it's because my printer is a dell A920 all-in-one printer or what. it's almost 6 years old now. maybe the software could of been the reason. but still to have someone say i was handing them a copy, it made me feel like someone stabbed me in the back. it was a horrible experience.

It's not like people paid anything for these coupons it was a nice offer considering how ungrateful our country is and obviously people ruinned it by using fake coupons or not getting it from the website, some people do not even know they are commiting coupon fraud it's almost funny. well people should get over learn how to cook dinner themselves. it just shows how stupid and ungrateful people are to throw such a fit over this.
