      As per their T&C, buckets appear at the "same place" for everyone and have a timer associated. The timer is 5 minutes, although the T&C stated 10 minutes. Buckets would disappear, if someone else reaches that spot and clams (spins the bucket). So you have to be fast enough.

      Buckets are mostly found in populated areas (such as CBD) or other suburbs where there are prominent places like Shopping Centres. Buckets are also placed "near" KFC Stores so that you may redeem your prizes once won.

      The good part about this game is there are too many buckets around, and you are most certainly likely to get one. I've been in situations yesterday when the bucket disappeared (someone else claimed), but I was able to get the next one placed just few steps away.

    Has anyone had an issue where you try to redeem a food item and it says 'Pending Redemption' in the stash, but it never shows up in the app and I can't place the order and everything is locked out due to the 1 per 24 hr rule?

    • Thespottedcow on 16/06/2021 - 10:31

      Yep had that issue yesterday, now it is showing in my app but it’s attempting to charge me $ for it.

        Same thing happened to me for a free Zinger burger. Hopefully you didn't go through with it, you will get charged (like I did). Try a different store if you can, seems like it's working at some and not others (not sure why)

        • tonka on 16/06/2021 - 14:06

          I got charged for my free item (was only a $1 Freezee), said discount would be applied at checkout but charged me anyway.

          • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2021 - 05:53
            +1

            @tonka: Lucky you. I got the first free item when you open the game for the first time. I 'won' a reg chips. Then flipped the coin and got some pepper mayo thing that normally costs $3.95 instead. Next I ran around trying to get some buckets but the stupid app doesn't work. I'm standing right on buckets when I zoom in but it never gives them to me.

            Anyway I'd also received a $4 off email for a $10 spend. So I started an order, activated that $4 off email, added two items I wanted, then redeemed the pepper mayo thing which said its discount would be applied later in checkout). Finally I go to checkout and the $4 discount was listed but then it charged me for the $3.95 pepper mayo thing I won (which was TITLED in the order list as being for free)!?

            So KFC get can stuffed. I'm not wasting my time with that game again. Not only can't I get any buckets but it charges you for things you win that are supposed to be free. It was something I would never have bought for myself too!

            Luckily after it not picking up any buckets I was expecting more faults. So I'd taken a screenshot of the checkout screen. I'm going to blast them tomorrow.

            Oh and I queried staff about it before finalising the order. They got all shirty with me saying I couldn't play the game that it's only for staff!? They pulled a large A2 sized red poster from the wall next to them that customers can't see from their side of the counter. It does indeed mention the game is for staff only. So I told them the app was upgraded a couple of days ago, people are talking about it online, and showed them the game button on the app. They still didn't believe me, acted like I was trying to steal stuff, and said no-one else today had mentioned the game. Then while I waited for the order I noticed a stack of pamphlets on the counter advertising it! LOL. So I held it up with one hand and pointed to it with the other and they're like… Duhhh…. Shrug, dunno.

    • adam on 16/06/2021 - 12:37

      Yes, same issue.

      Here's what happened to me:
      * Redeemed item, it went into cart.
      * Because store was closing in <1 hour I couldn't proceed. Cancel order.
      * Item now "Pending Redemption", can't swap it.
      * From page of KFC says I have an item to redeem, but specifies its expiry date as yesterday.
      * If I redeem it again, it adds to cart, but if I proceed to checkout I get billed for it (tested as it was only a $1 item)
      * After proceeding with checkout it is still in stash as "Pending Redemption"
      * I can't redeem another item because of 24 hour rule (I suspect this will time out 24 hours after the first time I added it?)
      * I suspect/hope the "Pending Redemption" item will delete from stash after 72 hours. In the meantime i have have 2 slots

      I suspect this error condition will come up if you attempt to redeem an item and cancel the order and then don't redeem before the next day.

      Sucks, but not a big deal. I considered logging a job, but whats the chance CS would listen & do anything (instead of blaming me or 'glitches' and 'try again later'). Whats the chances the problem would make its way to the dev time to fix & roll out a patch before the comp ends?

      • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2021 - 05:56

        I was going to rip into them on Farcebook. Where do you 'log a job'? (See my post just above.)

  • cheapass88 on 16/06/2021 - 10:49

    upon redeeming today, it charged me credit card, so i cancelled the order. It was fine yesterday, i wonder if they've changed something?

      It might error out but after 2 errors you can return to app and your prize will be in your stash

    Can someone explain this:

    Definitely not applying the discount. Guaranteed if I click pay it will charge me $$. Then I’ll have to fight KFC to get it back.

    • theoracle30 on 16/06/2021 - 12:08

      Have you gone beyond the 'checkout' button and up to the final payment screen?

      • Pelicannn on 16/06/2021 - 12:09

        Yep. I’m literally on the double tap my power button to pay and it says charging money to my card. Check the screenshots there is two photos in that link.

        • theoracle30 on 16/06/2021 - 12:10

          Ahh I see. On my partner's app it showed $0 at that point so it must be a glitch. Once you click 'checkout' the discount should apply with a star next to it, before you choose the payment method.

      To anyone trying to spam it until it works, if it doesn’t go through basically immediately, just tap somewhere else and try again.
