[Hack] KFC 21 Pieces of Chicken $21, 30 Nuggets $10, Regular Chips $1, 3 Nugget Go Bucket $2.50 (KFC App Required)

12260

Inspired by recent posts, I went looking into what makes these app deep links tick.
I found out.

Here are some goodies:

21 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $21 Expired
9 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $9.95 Expired
30 Nuggets $10 Expired
3 Nuggets Go Bucket $2.50 Expired
Ultimate Box $10 Expired
10 Original Recipe Tenders $10
Original Recipe Twister $5
1 Original Recipe Tender Go Bucket $2.50
Regular Chips $1
2 for 1 Zinger Burgers $5.95 credit to Rrocky Dear mod: still working at some stores, not only for me
Fill Up Box $4.95 credit to Rrocky

Links tested to work on both iOS and Android.
These links shouldn't expire when they pull a promotion (unless they remove it from the menu).

Troubleshooting

If the links open in your browser (not the app) and you just get a 404 Not Found error,

iOS:
Long press the link and tap 'Open in "KFC"'. If this option isn't present, see if there's an app update available in the App Store.
Or try this solution from tinysoldier

Android:
click the Red KFC icon in the url box to get redirected to the KFC app
For color os / oppo users… heres how to adjust your app settings in order to use the links to take you directly to the app.

Nerdy write-up:

The Android-only links that have been posted before were Google AdWords links that look like this

https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjIypPa24jvAhVFDCs…

that redirect to something like this

intent://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31783?action=customizeItem&userSelectsSite=false&gclid=(removed)&gref=(removed)#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.kfcaus.ordering;S.market_referrer=gref%3D(removed);end

which is a shame because the intent:// URL scheme isn't recognised by iOS.

On iOS, KFC uses branch to manage promotional app deep links, with links distributed that look like this

https://kfcau.app.link/mkBC1Q1A4db

that on mobile, if the app is installed, will redirect to something like this

https://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31519?action=custo…

These links also work on Android.

The easiest way to pull the menu from KFC's servers is to MITM the app. It's found at

https://nolo-api-ssa.ncrsaas.com/v1/Menus/(storenumber)/10000?includeInvisible=False

You can generate your own deep links by using the item's five digit MenuItemId from the raw menu I've dumped here.
I dumped this just now and eyeballing it there's some new menu items that I haven't seen before (originally started working on this last week) including a whole FOMO WOW menu.

          • @xoom: Working in Vic

      • I noticed all the good deals like 30 nugs, 9 for $9.95 and 21 for $21 have disappeared from the FOMO WOW menu - I'm in Bendigo, VIC and I've tried most of the stores here with all the same results

        good luck to those who its still working for!

        There are still some items on the FOMO WOW menu, but not the really big discounted ones that were there earlier :-/

        YMMV

  • Nice write up, seems I was close to the end when I was looking into it but I was too busy to continue :(

  • Thanks OP. Dinner for 3 sorted out

  • Lmao I added the 21 for 21 to the app like 7 hours ago to check if it worked for me and it did, but I didnt hit order. About 20 minutes ago we decided (profanity) it and got some kentucky. I left the app open conveniently, the order went through fine for me luckily, cheers a bunch OP.

    Also used the docket for a large chips and 1.25 pepsi as well, and ordered a frozen drink, they forgot to charge the drink. That's a decent ass value dinner.

    • +2

      Hmmm
      Probably means it can still be ordered but requires more involved hacking than a specially crafted link.

  • Got 21 for 21 and 5 regular chips. All for $26. Sweet.

  • -4

    mods were prob asked to get rid of it even though kfc wont be able to fix it for some time. thats my guess XD

    • what?

    • KFC did not ask us to get rid of it, or contact us at all FYI.

  • Sitting at home I couldn’t cope so had to get into kfc $21 for 21 deal now home to enjoy

  • +1

    KFC may need a different strategy and system for managing future deals.

    • +1

      it will be a cat and mouse game. they hide the good stuff. the op and others will go sherlock holmes to uncover them.

  • +6

    This is why we can't have nice things

  • Have a $4 voucher sent to me too- perfect timing. Thanks OP!

  • I was too late to the party, driving around, trying to buy salad for dinner. Drove past my local KFC only to find the store was closed for renovation. How does this work for next time? I click the link, the app opens, then what next?

  • +15

    OK… finally found how to "hack" with iOS

    the Deeplink for ios is www.kfc.com.au://

    Just create the tinyurl of the deal
    eg. "www.kfc.com.au://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31808?action=customizeItem&userSelectsSite=false" to https://tinyurl.com/y579akc3

    Then click the shorten url and here we go!!

    A bit late but I made a Google Doc with all of the working/not working links on the FOMO WOW menu for Android/iOS.

    There should be 12 working deals and 10 non-working deals atm. I couldn't test all of the iOS links but they should be fine.

    (credit to littlesoldier for the iOS link hack and cooni for the API dump)

    • Did you notice after your work the ones not worth getting out of bed for are the only ones working ?

    • +4

      Wow, you really have nothing better to do than post this on every animal food deal?

      • -4

        Wow, you're that attached to the death cult that you get triggered by someone actually standing up for the victims?
        Respect existence or expect resistance.
        Get used to it.

      I've met some chickens beforehand and eaten them. Can confirm that they are equally tasty as the chickens I've eaten and haven't met.

      • really? I've found the ones I've met beforehand are much better

        • Confirmed. When the 'rona hit I stocked up on steak adding by two cows to our family.

          No bull.

    • @kbo You should join Megan's coop of saved cage hens :)

    • I lived in my grandparents farm years ago. Even stared them chickens in the eye as they became that days lunch menu. Taste no different to the chickens we ended up buying from the supermarket.

      Oh stfu.

    • This guy is hilarious. Gorgeous Living beings. Bahahaha. Stop the killing and torturing of plants. Plants provide oxygen for the gorgeous living beings to breathe.

    • Lol

  • +2

    It seems to be no longer working.

  • +3

    I can get any of the links to open up in my KFC app with the local KFC selected just fine, but then there is no deal available & nothing in the order window once it happens.

    It doesn't seem to be working unfortunately.

  • +5

    None of the links working for me anymore :(

  • +5

    I can confirm all deals are gone now, along with https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/608048, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/607214 and https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/607194.

    I'm personally calling this the KFCpocalypse - the end of a historical era of deals.

    • I'm sure they (KFC) took it down so they can redo the links to twarth the efforts of the op and others who posted them deals.

      Give it time someone else will find a way in again.

      • "twarth" - the Klingon version of "thwart", meaning to rip into a million pieces :)

        • Close enough

    • Zzzz, 10 tenders was weeks old. I'd get it once a week, now it's been ozbargained… :(

  • +1

    for those missed out the 21pcs chicken for $21, do not despair, as ozb has long running deal for 12pcs chicken for $14.95 .. for extra $2.95 which i think still good deal

    link here:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/540774

    • Gotta buy other stuff to 'build your bucket'. 9 for 9.95 was always my favourite as 21 is too many unless you're feeding a massive family.

      Guess all good things eventually come to an end :(

      • 21 is too many

        Rookie :p

        • those are rookie numbers. gotta pump them numbers up.

    • +1

      Cool I upvoted yah :)

  • Awesome deals such as these need to be more stealthily disseminated.

    • +2

      Do you mean just to my own social circle?

      • +2

        I love what ya doing, I just feel that when a bargain reaches critical mass like this (ozbargain is a very big community now) it just seems that it’s only a matter of time before action is taken to kill the deal that’s all.

    • Deal poster club

  • A link to my favourite KFC deal "Chicken and Wicked Wings pack: 10 pieces original, 10 wicked wings + 4 large sides for $24.95" would be great, but I guess it would not last long anyway due to being OzBargained :)

  • Well it was good while it lasted 😭

    • +1

      was hoping to have some 2 for 1 zingers on the weekend. oh well. such is life.

  • Burger meal plus extra side for $7.45 in the app isn’t bad.

  • +2

    I know I'm getting old cos I don't understand this gibberish

    • Makes two of us! :D

  • Nothing working for me in Vic

  • +1

    This is still working a treat over in WA. It's the gift and that keeps on giving. Not sure why the deal is expired TBH. I just got the Fill Up Box @ $4.95 (first time) and geezus it was huge for the price. Thanks OP!!!

  • Has there been a ressurection of any of these that no-one is telling us about? :) I missed the boat and super keen to get in on some KFC deals drool

    Great original work OP!
