Best buy limiting bucks usable!

It has been reported that best buy has changed the best buy bucks rules a bit lately. Best buy bucks is limited to a maximum of $3 dollars off a game and have limited the total you can use in a day from $20 to $50.

Mcdonalds has also changed the rules on the food items. The limit of 1 item coupon per person per 2 hours has been changed to 1 coupon per order. Which means that if you and your friends are thinking of going together youll only be able to use a single coupon...

Mcdonalds running out of best buy game pieces?

I've been getting reports of people who sent out envelopes to mcdonalds not receiving the Best Buy bucks stickers with the game pieces. So beware, you might only get a few best buy stickers back for every few envelopes you send out.

This is from envelopes that were sent around the middle of the month of october.

Make money through your site or blog

Wanna start making money through your blog or website? I just started using a program call chitika that puts a "mini-mall" on your website and you get paid for every click on an ad. They pay more then any other program i've tried so far (per click) and you can customize the ads to your specific type of site.

For example, if your site is about ipods, you can put ipods, if your site is about games you can put games. They most I've gotten so far is $1.25 per click, which is pretty awesome. So sign up now!

Even if you dont have a lot of traffic, even a small amount of traffic will pay for your hosting! Just don't go clicking your own ads or you'll get banned!!

If you need any help setting up the ads just post on the forum!

Save the winning code!

After reading a visitor's story about the mcdonalds monopoly online instant win game I thought I would post a little warning:

If your playing the instant win game, and you win, retrieve your winnings right away. Saving the winning page for later will not work, so copy down the code right now.

Mcdonalds monopoly game winning stories.

I've started to receieve stories of some people winning the online instant game so I thought I would make a separate page for the stories that I receive so that this main page does not get overly cluttered.

If you like to read some interesting stories, use the Monopoly game stories button on the right of the screen.

Thanks everyone!

Have you won the mcdonalds online instant game?

Id love to know if anyone has won the won at the online mcdonald's instant game. If you have, or know someone who has, tell us about what you won and how the transaction went! I'd love to know!

If you have any pictures, I'd like to add them to the site as well.

Either email me your stories or post them on our forums.

Use blue ink when your sending out for game pieces through the mail!

Its a little known fact but mcdonalds wants people sending SASE envelopes to use BLUE ink on the envelopes! Someone learned this the hard way last year!

If you don't know what im talking about, read the post about "another ebay scam..." through the mail.

Don't get scammed on ebay! Game piece scam.

If your thinking about buying that rare piece your missing on ebay, BE AWARE! There are people selling cut out pieces of the offline game monopoly boards and passing them as the sticky official game pieces! Don't get scammed by this trick, ask the buyer if this is a real piece or a cut out piece before bidding. The sellers are required to answer these questions and if they lie they are at fault!

Best time to play the mcdonalds instant game.

According to their official rules, McDonald's Online Monopoly game seeds instant win prizes at specific times during the day. Since user activity is the LOWEST between 8 and 12 at night that's when they seed 49% of their instant wins.

So if your going to play PLAY BETWEEN 8PM AND 12AM!!!!!!

Another ebay info scam: unlimited game pieces

If your thinking of bidding on the info people are selling on ebay to get unlimited game pieces, dont bother! Ill give it to you for free ;)

The trick? Send self addressed stamped envelopes to mcdonalds, lots and lots of envelopes. Mcdonalds will send you ONE set of game pieces per envelope to send them.

Heres the information straight from Mcdonald's mouth:


"To request a Game Piece without buying something at McDonald's, persons in the United States, Guam & Saipan may mail a self-addressed stamped envelope with sufficient postage and their return address (name, street address, city, state, country, and zip code) legibly printed thereon to: Monopoly Best Chance Game 3.0 at McDonald's, Game Piece Request, P.O. Box 49519, Strongsville, OH, 44149. Return postage may be omitted on requests that are mailed to a return address located in Vermont. DO NOT SEND POTENTIAL WINNING GAME STAMPS, COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS TO THIS ADDRESS. Participants may submit as many Game Piece requests as they desire, but each request must be mailed in a separate outer envelope. Requests that are sent in business reply envelopes, are photocopied, are mechanically reproduced or are not mailed in separate outer envelopes will NOT be honored. One (1) Game Piece and One (1) Chance Piece will be mailed in response to each request, while supplies last. Mail-in requests must be postmarked no later than October 31, 2005, and received no later than November 7, 2005. If the Game runs long in restaurants, these dates are subject to a corresponding extension. "
