Does anybody else just think it encourages people to buy more food?! And does anybody actually win?

That's obviously the point. It's a marketing campaign.

It's very effective too, they have been doing it for about 5 years and people really take it seriously.

I know two customers who won the house and a car.

I used to work for them.

I won a mobile phone 4 years ago. I went once a week and snaffling unused ones from tables paid off. :o

By jove you're right. A company is trying to increase profits by encouraging sales. Thanks for the warning.

Shatners :o are you saying that they aren't doing this for the good of my health? Cops if so I'm suing them. I won extra portions of fries and drinks most weeks.

Of course it is.

Very good marketing idea.

What ever next, supermarkets offering saving savings on fuel

I won 6 chicken nuggets, a donut, fries and a milkshake all from seperate purchases (I like their mango smoothies).

So far have not won anything of impressive value though.

DS won an exta portion of fries last week. They lasted about 27 seconds.
We need one more to win an xbox one Grin

it's the whole point, one of the best marketing strategies around I think.

I am one card away from winning a mini cooper - do you mean to tell me it's rigged, and I won't get it at my next purchase??

I won ....... a fruit bag!

Never keep the cards though to play the game, only the instant wins.

We won 100 free photos & a sundae at the weekend which was nice. It is a very clever strategy if it works but won't make me go there more often.

Oh and an apple pie & 20% off at best western.
