Free Chicken Sandwich

I was out and about delivering food this Saturday when I arrived at Chick-fil-A. It was jam packed as usual. There was a double line of cars surrounding the building. I decided to save some gas and go inside to place my customers order. 4 piece chicken tender combo with waffle fries and a Dr. Pepper. Pretty standard stuff until the cashier handed me the receipt.

Before I could throw the receipt in the garbage she stopped me. We locked eyes and she gazed deep into my soul and whispered seductively, if you fill out this survey within the next two days, you can get a free sandwich. Spicy or original. This sent a shiver down my spine and I was mesmerized by the thought of a free sandwich. As I waited to pick up my order I wondered if I could get another customers receipt too so I could fill out a couple surveys to get even more free sandwiches. It was then I realized that the survey does not print out on every receipt. Was I one of the chosen? I didn't have time to find out as my order was complete and I needed to get back into my car to deliver the food.

When I arrived home I logged on to the site. www.mycfavisit.com. The first thing the site asks for is the serial number on the receipt to prove that you actually went to Chick-fil-A and made a purchase. My customer made the purchase so I would be reaping the rewards of the survey without spending anything. I was taking advantage of a gaping loophole. They said very explicitly that I will need to provide my email and that if I do not, I will not receive my free sandwich. Pretty clever tactic. What they don't know is I maintain a bunch of fake emails specifically for this reason and also to leave poor restaurant reviews. Point and match. Jim Smith who has email address of derpk.klaus@gmail.com is my favorite fake account. Turns out he really likes Chick-fil-A.

At the end of my survey it said that it will take up to 24 hours for my digital gift card to arrive. Was there a problem at the digital post office? That is a long time to wait for a free sandwich. I went back to the home page and tried to enter a new serial number to see if I could win another sandwich with a different fake email. My original serial number was 4240308-01903-1351-0330-90 so I obviously tried 4240308-01903-0330-91 to see if that would produce another survey. Sadly, that did not work. Then I got on google and searched for "Chick-fil-A survey serial numbers". No numbers were listed. I did find a reddit thread about people asking about how they could get a survey for free but the discussion quickly descended into rude comments about each others mothers.

Finally, after hitting refresh about a thousand times my coupon arrived via my fake email address. I got a QR code that will entitle me to one free Chicken Sandwich. Hopefully that helpful cashier with the deep sultry voice will be there again to take my order of one free sandwich one packet of special sauce and one tap water. I'm sure she will be impressed. Maybe I can ask her to use her employee discount for me to get a side of waffle fries. Then I remembered that tomorrow is Sunday and Chick-fil-A is not open on Sundays because Jesus only eats fish on that day or something. Guess I'll have to wait another entire day for my spicy chicken delight. 


Here is an update from last week. Success!
