I have $8 in BB bucks, a free small soft drink, and the Boardwalk piece (so Park Place must be the rare one again).

Prizes are by week. Last week was snapfish (25 prints), this week is stupid ring tones, next week is cell phone game, then iTunes songs, then ... (I forget the last one).
They also have instant wins for landing on Go and Free Parking, which I have not done. Good prizes like PSP or an iPod. I think they say one per hour.
Too bad the dice is fixed. If it were truly random, it would be easy to clean up on prizes online. But I did win about 200 snapfish prints and two stupid ring tones.

This is generally the only time I eat at McDonald's (during this promotion)....luckily I've been eating chicken instead of the hamburgers.

I have no luck!
I feel like Homer Simpson, DOH!!!
I have pulled ten BB Bucks since this game started, and each time, it's only a $1 piece.....me and my rotten luck....denied twice again today....
Of course, my wife got a $3 out of only 2 tries....
Oh well, there is always tomorrow to try again (and more fries to clog the arteries)...

My local McDonalds is now out of BB bucks on the grilled sandwhichs, the crispy ones can't be too far behind. I think this will be the last week I'll be getting them since they'll be out after that. I'm up to $26 (eight x $1 and six x $3).
One thing I've noticed is that I've gotten so few food prizes; out of 30 pieces (14 x 2 plus another 2), I've only gotten two small mcflurrys.

I wonder how McDonalds gets away with the blatant false advertising. Oh yea because they state "while supplies last".
Ugh,

If you eat this everyday like I am doing... order the crispy sandwiches (seem to be less gross), and tell them to not put on maynoise. As for the fries, eat maybe 1/3 or 1/2 at the most, throwing away the rest.

i'm sure those mcdonalds that are out will be getting more supplies in over the course of the month.
and to those eating the fried chicken sandwiches everyday - good luck to your health. I would think the grilled sandwiches are healthier (minus the bacon, cheese, sauce, mayo, etc.) although thats questionable considering this is still mcdonalds.
i had lunch today there (double chz, large fries), only the third time i've eaten since this started (once with a free breakfast value meal won on the previous trip). And with three BB tickets, i had one $3 and two $1s.
Spent the $3 on ST: Nemesis SE and the two $1s on Arrested Development S2.

Up to $33 (8 x $3 plus 9 x $1), the only food prizes I've won are three small mcflurrys.

Quick question: If I ordered one of the $9.99 DVDs (online for instore pickup with BB bucks) featured on the $5 off coupon on the Elizabethtown preview DVD can I apply that coupon once I pick it up in the store? Alternatively can I go to BB and use the coupon plus as many BB bucks as they wil allow me to use to get the DVD for $1.95 or free if they let me use more than $3 BB bucks?

If you want to use the $5 off coupon from the preview DVD, you have to do it in the store. Not sure if you can use the BB Bucks with the coupon. It's a YMMV depending on the cashier.
