      Best thing to do is to just claim. You have to wait the 24 hours regardless if you claim it or not. You can't even get new ones to replace it as it is set as redemption.

      • djoz on 23/06/2021 - 14:14

        Yup, the timer is apparently kicking in on the "First Tap of Redeem", irrespective of you actually completing the order or not.

    Seriously it's a useless app. I already have an account but it didn;t let me login. Keep asking for a code sent to an email, where I didn't receive any code not even under spam, clutter, trash you name it. Tried 10 times.

    Tried to create a new account with a new password, again same story. It says two factor auth and enter the code sent to the email. Didn't receive any.

    However, I receive their marketing email without a miss.. spot on KFC!!

    • Paul B on 23/06/2021 - 17:20

      It is shit. You can request password reset without having access to the email address first. They are probably sending so many verification codes that it gets really slow at busy times.

      • IpGem on 23/06/2021 - 20:15

        Trying from last week, no luck. Tried in the morning, noon and night with no luck. Uninstalled it and doesn't look like I'll reinstall it any time sooner.

        • timedzone on 24/06/2021 - 20:09

          I find the iOS version works slightly better compared to the android one. Sometimes I cant login in on android but can on iOS.

    • whitelie on 24/06/2021 - 14:09

      Everytime I log out, I have to reset the password to get back in. Hit and miss if they send the code or not…. terrible app that's for sure

      • CodeXD on 24/06/2021 - 15:09

        There's no email verification code if you sign up via facebook.

        • timedzone on 24/06/2021 - 20:10

          Juggling between fb accounts is a little more troublesome though.

  • djoz on 23/06/2021 - 15:56

    So, I'm confused again. I already have 3 prizes in my stash. I won a Zinger Burger today, which I would like to redeem straightaway (as I haven't redeemed anything yet today), still it wont let me tap on Redeem in the Browser Window. Why? I am forced to replace one of the items in my stash, but my plan was to retain all of them, and use Zinger straightaway.

    Anyone knows anything about this ?

    • CodeXD on 23/06/2021 - 16:15

      You can ONLY redeem something in your stash, so you have to add first.

      • djoz on 23/06/2021 - 16:19
        +2

        Is it so? The why does 'Redeem' button appear when u win the prize? As per T&C:

        If after spinning the virtual bucket you reveal a KFC food prize, you will be given the opportunity to either save your prize in your Bucket Stash in the App for 72 hours or redeem it immediately. If you choose to save your prize in your Bucket Stash, you may choose to flip the Colonel's coin in the App to win a different prize. You must select either heads or tails. If you win, (i.e. you select heads or tails and it lands on your chosen side) you will receive a prize of equal or greater value. The prize can be a food, non-food or cash (awarded as an eftpos card) prize (excluding the Golden Bucket cash prizes (minor Golden Bucket Prize awarded as an eftpos card) and the AFL/NRL/Ashes experience prizes)).

        • tlo001 on 23/06/2021 - 17:28

          I think the redeem button is greyed out if you already have 3 prizes in your stash.

        • CodeXD on 23/06/2021 - 17:54

          The game also says 24 hours per redeem, yet everyone here has had it reset at times earlier AND later. There is only supposed to be 3 slots in your stash, yet people have had 4 and even 5.

          You can't always trust what it says

      • CodeXD on 23/06/2021 - 19:06
        +1

        I just tested this, the redeem is only available if you have a spot in your stash and if you havent redeemed anything in the past 24 hours.

        So it is not possible for you to redeem the 4th prize AND keep the 3 in your stash.

        • djoz on 24/06/2021 - 08:57

          Thanks. What if I have/had 4 slots? Then does the 4th slot show as empty after using up one of the prizes? Or it just vanishes away?

          • CodeXD on 24/06/2021 - 09:03

            @djoz: I never managed to get 4 slots so I'm not sure what will happen. Let us know once you've tested it out.

            • ja912son on 24/06/2021 - 10:24

              @CodeXD: My 4th slot just disappeared this morning. I redeemed one showing pending yesterday and this morning when I checked it, it's gone together with the item

  • BuyFlys on 23/06/2021 - 16:31

    Anyone figured out the spawn timer for buckets yet?

    They pop up in the same spots each time, but are they spaced out by a duration of time or at certain times during the day?

  • Sperlo on 23/06/2021 - 17:10

    Has anyone worked out how to glitch the extra slots yet? I had four slots until I redeemed, not even sure how I ended up with the extra haha

    • imcold on 23/06/2021 - 18:55

      I think all slot glitches are the result of adding the same item multiple times and not ending up putting in the order. I got glitched down to two slots.

      Each time I clear the cache and sign back in it will tell me ultimate box expired. I actually had two of them expire. Any prizes I win vanish. Last slot is always empty.

      Deleted account, signed up using same details freed up my last slot, and it was filled with the first item that failed to fill the slot.

      Got the starter free spin, and won an ultimate box, now always stuck in your stash is too full state.

    Just won my first 15 pieces from a wild KFC bucket i was hoping it wouldn't bug out and lose the prize and after a while i nervously tapped add to stash and it was in there!

  • domo653q on 23/06/2021 - 21:43

    Can you preorder if store is closed ?

    • djoz on 23/06/2021 - 22:14
      +2

      Nope. You may order only when the store is open, and you may collect it anytime until store close time.

      Also, note that ordering in the app stops 60 minutes prior to the store close time. However, u may order at T - 61 minutes, and then collect in store anytime in the next 61 minutes.

      • whitelie on 24/06/2021 - 14:14

        We ordered the other night in the app with under 60mins to store closure (would have been 45 or so). Order went thru fine but said the store was closed so didn't have the "I'm in the restaurant" button. Collected the order fine though, just had to tell them which name when we got there

  • djoz on 24/06/2021 - 08:56

    I had redeemed a Zinger Stacker yesterday around 12:30PM AEST (after the app allowed me to release my horses at 12:00 PM AEST). Much like earlier days, even after redeeming and completing the order, the prize still showed 'Pending Redemption', for the whole day even when I checked late at night around 01:00 AM AEST.

    Now, in the morning, as I check around 08:45 AM AEST, the Prize is showing as available again, with the timer counting down (from it's original time) - so got about 37 hours more to 'Redeem'. On tapping the Prize, I still get the 'Redeem' button, but haven't tapped on Redeem as it will register the tap and lock me out for the next "24 hours".

    My question - will I be able to redeem the same prize again? Or will it eventually appear as full price at Checkout? I've got other prizes, so could might has well use them (without losing the day or 24 hours, if I try to redeem the same Zinger Stacker again) - but too tempted to "give it up".

    • Rod71 on 24/06/2021 - 14:13

      Yeah you'll get it again. My mate had the same glitch with an ultimate box

      • djoz on 24/06/2021 - 15:23

        Yup, was able to redeem it second time. Now it's gone from Stash.

        My mate had the same thing with his Zinger Stacker burger. Yesterday and today.

        • aerona on 25/06/2021 - 07:46

          Had this with a three piece box. Was able to redeem twice some reason and it was in my forth slot which is now three after using twice. Im NOT complaining

    • brandogs on 26/06/2021 - 02:00

      I had the same glitch with a 15 piece bucket. I worked out if you don't receive an order confirmation email after redeeming your prize you'll be able to redeem it again the next day given the timer doesn't expire

  • vawiyoci on 24/06/2021 - 10:35

    Did they change the lockout timer again? Redeemed something last night for dinner and the 2 remaining slots are already showing as available now just after 10am AEST.

      Same here.

    • snowl on 25/06/2021 - 17:04

      I got my EFTPOS card redemption email

  • AbucklingNMS on 24/06/2021 - 11:41

    Yay, REDEEMED & got Free Zinger, (foolishly redeemed at 9:45am waited in carpark till 10a opening).

    OK, getting better at App - seems to use Google Maps which ignores/hates private roads/property - cause Google car rarely drives into - means car parks too.

    Therefore seems to overly rely on the camera view to move your red viewing cone on the map, so V slow and way behind where you actually are.

    If you DON'T get the beware of cars etc. to click [Fair Enough] backspace out and re-enter Hunt thru app.

    While Red Dot AR experience is loading I still move phone slowly left-right for camera to help it choose a spot.

    I actually spin bucket left-right - app seems to want right-left, still works.

    Better at or near KFC - mentioned in their blurb - I used in car park after getting my burger got 4 buckets nearby & 2 further out - if nothing shows up might be better backspace out or Close & Re-Open app again - the [Fair Enough] click seems essential to Hunt.

    Hope next redeems OK - might be 'cause that first was an actual order + free prize that the teller didn't key-in.

    BTW yes wrapped paper straws are in a open metal box on far side of counter - sorry 1st guy for whining about on OzB.

    Got a new KFC nearby :- love the black or red barstools, lit up red Col tie inside, lots of double USB sockets & open 10am-10pm too.

    Also off-topic Series S now $429 at Big W think it may be delivery but click & collect - dunno - remember to sign-in online to collect Woolies Rewards for. Target has same price but no home delivery - Only click & collect (physical anti-scalping measure? maybe photo-ID required?) IF your local store still exists that is.

    got two 15pc buckets this morning, one from spin and one from a reg chips flip

  • Rod71 on 24/06/2021 - 14:16

    • whitelie on 24/06/2021 - 14:18
      +2

      Nah I think it varies. Was like that for a while, could predict what it would be by "burning" a low value item and using the next spin on a good one.
      Mine has been alternating each spin pretty often lately though.

      • AbucklingNMS on 24/06/2021 - 15:00

        Tried alternating at start - finally received some actual Chicken (1st was Frozen Pepsi, 2 x chips, nuggets & chips, 2 sliders, 'nother nuggets & chips and best yet Zinger Burger) so gave up in last 3 goes - trying All Tails (drumstick), I assume there's no better prize bias for Colonel's Head?

      • I Smell Pennies on 24/06/2021 - 16:35

        that is still my strategy

    • whitelie on 24/06/2021 - 15:06
      +2

      Also seems like you get a different item based on where you spin the bucket.
      If I spin it at the Freeze, pretty much always get a freeze/chips. Spin it at the chicken/burger and get chicken. I always spin to the right too

      • snowl on 24/06/2021 - 16:05

        The location or direction of spinning the bucket doesn't matter

    • snowl on 24/06/2021 - 16:05

      It's just 50/50

      ps. claim the buckets and freeze it.

      • whitelie on 24/06/2021 - 21:01

        How do you recommend reheating? Defrost first or straight in the oven/air fryer/deep fryer?
        I usually don't have so much that I have to freeze it, in the oven from the fridge with any normal left overs

        • Rod71 on 25/06/2021 - 09:14

          Yeah give it a kickstart in the microwave like you would a frozen meat pie before you put it in the air fryer.

      Never - will be prying a Drumstick from my cardiac infarctioning hand. Slightly sick of the Aussification of App - and the music is a un-memorable Ear-Worm. Burger did take a while this morning - proves it's fresh (unless frozen as supplies sometimes run out).🐔🍗🍟🍔😋

      $2 a piece crunchy Red Rooster is pretty good too - bit overally crunchy, you can taste the Brine (slightly) they soak it in for hours?

      • dna level c on 25/06/2021 - 11:47

        Their actual chicken is disgusting, so are the nuggets, tenders, and popcorn chicken.

        The only stuff I like that they have are the fillets (and original/zinger burger equivalents), wicked wings, chips, rolls, and the mash/gravy is okay.

        • AbucklingNMS on 26/06/2021 - 17:24

          For at least 20 years we bought Potato & Gravy and Coleslaw as sides - turns out no-one actually liked the Coleslaw - just no-one complained.

          Popcorn's not bad - we Always buy Wicked Wings (oily, but dried better - box is less oily too) instead of the V low amount of wings in pieces. Sliders are Ok - cheap and a bit meaty.

          Bought the Zinger Chipster from Super Secret Menu (only two options - it or the Zinger Triple Stacker) :-

          $6.95

          3481 kJ

          Twister tortilla with lettuce, cheese,
          Zinger fillet (cut in half), chips and
          supercharged sauce.

          Very meaty, but man that sauce is hot - cheese is in there but hard to spot.

          App has died doing the last 6 bucket spins - notice that AR can be turned off for generic city pic - failed twice after spinning that way too.

          KFC sent a "Where are you - claim a prize right now" in app, tried failed twice again - with those others had 2 red screens of death too.

      They definitely can process it after you’ve placed it and before you’ve successfully checked in.

      When you get there they will see it on their screen but wouldn’t have started making/packing it yet because you aren’t checked in. They can do that step for you.

      • ironworthy on 24/06/2021 - 17:05

    Is anyone able to discard/replace their slots at all? Currently I have 6 slots cos the app bugged out, want to know if it is working for those with 3.

        Got mine to work. Go to the map, and turns out I was in the middle of an experience. Once I spun that, the stash replaced correctly.

          The app is being a pain and won't let me discard prizes

    Man, tough hunting today. So many glitches.

    Started getting 10 tenders for 10 vouchers. Flipped 2 of them for Ultimate Boxes both times. TAILS on each.

    is anyone getting errors when spinning? I'm getting "Error oops, something's gone wrong. Spin again" and when i spin again I get "Oops, something's gone wrong. Come back later"

      Yes but then I went to my stash and a prize has appeared.

    • FDA2021 on 25/06/2021 - 19:36

      This happens to me 90% of the time, but they still appear in the stash

    Being a Friday, looks like the app is going down down down. I've already placed my order for the 15pc bucket expiring tonight!

    App seems to be going down guys. Flip the coin isnt working for me. Anyone else as well?

      It's been fully bugged for me since 12pm or so.
      Had a slider stuck in my stash I can't discard. Endless loading. Swapped phones and then it was a frozen mountain dew stuck in my stash. Actually let me discard it. Went to redeem my bucket which expires in 4hrs but wouldn't load. Got out of it and have a frozen mountain dew stuck in my stash again! Swapped phones back, same issue. Go away mountain dew freeze, nobody likes you…

      In saying that, I just tried again and had to discard some chips and it let me redeem my bucket finally!

      I've been getting "There ain't no buckets here" a few times this afternoon

      • djoz on 25/06/2021 - 17:57

        Yes, I had observed the same last weekend, but this time around it still seems to be better, can see buckets come after some "pauses".
