We are so sorry, but due to the overwhelming response to our FREE Kentucky Grilled Chicken™ meal coupon, we can no longer redeem the free coupon at this time. But we will honor our commitment to giving you a free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal.

Please visit a participating KFC restaurant for a rain check form. Complete the form, attach your original coupon , and give it to the KFC restaurant manager or postmark per the form’s instructions, by May 19, 2009, and we’ll send you a rain check for your free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal at a later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments. Your participating KFC restaurant will provide you with the form you need.

Please note that the redemption periods of the rain checks will vary. All other terms and conditions of the original free Kentucky Grilled Chicken coupon will apply.

Thank you for your understanding,

FYI- My KFC would not allow us to leave the store with these. You could fill out one form and had to leave it there for them to turn in. Sure hope they do!

Yeah i heard about this the other night. Id be hauling in every family member i can think of

Well, thank goodness I redeemed mine already. I would hate to have to deal with the whole raincheck issue. When I went, there were at least another 5 people in line with the coupon. Guess they didnt understand the power of Oprah!

My fiance and I went last night. I still have 5 more of these coupons. I guess I should give them to other people so they can get the raincheck. (Maybe they'll even give them to me when they get them!)

Really, can someone enlighten me as to if my printed coupon is going to work or not? I keep hearing rumors about them not being accepted but I'd like to know before I trek out to KFC!

It is best if you called your local KFC and ask them if they are going to allow you to use it or give you the form to fill out for the raincheck.

Apparently they ran into photo copied coupons and this is there way of trying to weed those out. They will only be sending the rain checks back if the coupon attached is valid. I wasn't too excited about leaving the coupon there either but I guess we will see.

i called 1-866-CALL-KFC and i told them my kfc was offering 25% off the grilled chicken for the free coupons and the lady i talk to ask me for my addy and she is going to send me 4 coupons for the free grilled chicken meal.

Seriously, it was on Oprah! It's on the news all the time about how stuff sells out if she so much as mentions it on her show. Man, I've got to come up w/something for her to talk about so we can retire early!

I am just baffled by this whole thing! This could go down as history's largest marketing blunder.
