Oprah Offers KFC Coupon, Internet Abuzz
EmailABC News’ Russell Goldman reports: Oprah Winfrey, whose endorsements have turned little-known books into best sellers and helped a little-known senator become the president, is putting her seal of approval on KFC’s newest menu item – grilled chicken. A coupon available exclusively through the talk-show host’s Web site, oprah.com, had been searched for so frequently on the Internet that “Oprah Winfrey KFC coupons” was the fifth most searched item on Google Trends by Wednesday afternoon, hours after being posted. “KFC locations” and “Unthink KFC,” the name of the grilled chicken promotion, rounded off the site’s top 10 most searched terms. Interest in the coupons even made it to France where one Web Site described the frenzy as “un buzz aux States.” KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken and a subsidiary of Yum Brands, launched the grilled chicken line two weeks ago and has offered free samples in some participating locations. Rick Maynard, a KFC spokesman, said the reason the company sought out Winfrey to promote the product was “pretty self explanatory. She’s got a huge audience who trust her.” The details of the deal KFC and Winfrey worked out to offer the coupons, Maynard said, were confidential. Oprah announced the promotion during her show on Tuesday. Harpo, Winfrey’s production company, would not further comment on the deal. The downloadable coupon, good only from Wednesday morning to Thursday at noon, allows holders to receive”two pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit.” Some have called Winfrey’s impact on brands she endorses the “O Factor,” and small companies whose products make the media magnate’s annual Favorite Things list have seen their sales skyrocket overnight. Oprah has made no secret of struggling with her weight and dieting. KFC is promoting the new line as a healthy alternative to its traditional fried chicken. An Original Recipe fried chicken breast is 400 calories, versus 119 for the grilled breast, according to the KFC website.

Something is wrong with the computer system. Trying to print a coupon but I get the error page that something is not working Is it overloaded and when will it be fixed?

The whole thing sucked. I hope Oprah and KFC get all the credit they deserve for screwing up something that could have been great. I tried to print a coupon let the software install and before my printer even warmed up it told me I’d printed too many already. Good job loved the whole experience

I hope Oprah knows about KFC using an allotment system. I went by my KFC in Gardena, Ca at about 5:30 pm on 05/06/2009 and they had a sign which read we are out of our alotment for today. Say what?

I don’t care what you say, Oprah rocks. You have just allowed me to survive another day! Thank you from me and my co-workers!!!!!!!!!!!1

Let’s see…….
-You ask the queen of endorsement to endorse your product.
-Then your coupon partner cannot deliver.
-Next, if your were able to get the coupon to print, the store can refuse to honor it.
I guess the folks at KFC got into their tag line too much. UNTHINK!

Still love Oprah. I don’t think she knew the rip off KFC was promoting. I went through the process of installing the printer, click on print coupon button and got a thank you for printing the coupon. Coupon didn’t print.

When I went to print it said i had printed to many and i havent printed any yet, so i just kept trying and it went through the second time i tried, you had to just keep trying, and it will print up to 4 coupons.

We were unable to download the free coupon from KFC, Internet was so busy, we miss out on the coupon. If all possible can you email me two coupon so we can try grilled chicken. If not thanks for reading my email.

Why is the kfc in douglasvill georgia, dallas georgia, and the kfc on greenbrier pkwy in atlanta saying that all of the oprah kfc coupons with the bar code ending in 1234 all a fake they have sing posted
Posted by: Tracy Evans | May 7, 2009, 9:31 am 9:31 am
Printed the coupons and went to KFC today to get my free sample plate. KFC said they are not honoring the cupons. Oprah you should know who your gettting into bed with before you endorse something. Will not watch Oprah or goto KFC again. I hope that you lose alot Oprah and KFC for your crappy attempt at a promotion.
Posted by: Larry | May 7, 2009, 9:56 am 9:56 am
I was fortunate to be given a coupon. I went and got a meal and I was pleased.I didn’t have to wait long and there were no issues with my coupon. Thank you Oprah and KFC for doing something nice for other people. It’s amazing how unpleasant people (mostly adults) can be when they don’t get what they want.
Hopefully others will have an experience similar to mine.

Hey Opray, thanks…from Oaktown, Oakland and San Francisco Bay Area..the coupons worked and folk loved the chicken…As we love chicken out here in CALI..
thanks for your generosity.
Posted by: Denise Gums | May 7, 2009, 12:39 pm 12:39 pm
I love Oprah, but this time, she owes her fans (like me!) a huge explanation and an apology. Coupon was very difficult to print. Then drove up to the KFC way before noon (I didn’t want them to say they ran out) and a sign on the drive thru said “No coupons accepted in drive thru. No exceptions.” So I parked to go inside. There was a sign on the door that said, “Because of high demand, we cain’t accept anymore coupons.” THEIR mis-spelling, not mine! Note that they didn’t say they ran out, just that they could not (really WOULD NOT) accept the coupons. I feel betrayed by Oprah and her folks, and this is upsetting to me, as I’ve always trusted her advice! I would not have bothered had it just been a KFC promo, as I would have suspected it might not be legit. But Oprah endorsed it… Oprah, how are you going to fix this????
There were lots of angry folks in the KFC parking lot, leaving without any chicken!!!
Posted by: Louise | May 7, 2009, 12:41 pm 12:41 pm
After finally getting the coupon to download the day it came out, I went to the KFC in Morrow GA. which had a sign on the door saying they were no longer accepting on-line coupons ending with 1234. Of coarse that is what mine ended with so I did not bother going inside after going out of my way to get there. I was very disappointed. This whole thing was not handled in a proper manor.
Posted by: David | May 7, 2009, 12:46 pm 12:46 pm
Web site jammed, could not get in to get coupon. Please let me know if there is a raincheck program setup.
Thanks
Posted by: Len Grassini | May 7, 2009, 1:25 pm 1:25 pm
Same thing it sent the coupons to the wrong printer (it didnt give me a choice) so when i tried again it said i had printed the coupons. Thanks KFC and Oprah for nothing.
Posted by: mike | May 7, 2009, 1:45 pm 1:45 pm
I think it is awfu that KFC would not
honor the coupon, they are the ones
that will take the fall. I tried calling the nearest one to me and there
was no answer. How sad.

I had no problems printing the coupon, but have not been able to redeem it.
Yesterday I was told that they were having trouble with their griller and it would be an hour before they could have any grilled chicken. Today when I tried again to redeem the coupon, there were signs posted everywhere that they would not accept any coupons and that they didn’t have any chicken in any style in they store for purchase. What a shame! I have tried the grilled chicken before and thought it was very good, but with this experience it will be a long time before I return.
Posted by: Mike | May 7, 2009, 3:26 pm 3:26 pm
Oh yes..I am a KFC Manager and you guys are mostly right….It was an awful experience for us too….we were not told until 3 days before about this deal.This is what happens when you don’t let the people that handle the product know what is going on. The suppliers were behind on our products so we couldn’t even get the supplies we ordered….besides the fact that the busier stores were already having a hard time keeping up with demand.It was one big stress factor and one big mess. It was an awful experience for many people…the Manager, the Crew and the Customers.As a Manager that cares about her customers I was disappointed in it all..
Posted by: kitty rushin | May 7, 2009, 3:37 pm 3:37 pm
I could never download the kfc coupon from oprah.com and I don’t know why i was disappointed
Posted by: john | May 7, 2009, 3:46 pm 3:46 pm
I think that this is sad. I have been trying to down load this coupon and can not. I was told that this date is still within the date time. It is sad for me to have been spit on by KFC in this way.
Posted by: Kenn Poynter | May 7, 2009, 4:11 pm 4:11 pm
The local KFC did not accept the coupon, and did not know which stores accepted it. Disappointed,
Posted by: Reggie | May 7, 2009, 4:15 pm 4:15 pm
I’m really disappointed at the negative things that people are saying about this offer . if the coupon didnt work for you oh well life goes on . oprah made an initiative to do something good if there were kinks that’s life. Most of you throwing ur negativity probably haven’t lifted a finger to help anyone much less thousands she’s only one woman some of you people are acting like she’s a super hero get a grip people come on
Posted by: Annie | May 7, 2009, 4:18 pm 4:18 pm
I work across from a KFC in Greensboro NC. Sorry to say the coupon caused traffic jams and long lines of cars trying to get in the parking lot. On Wednesday the Fire Marshall closed the lot and said there were too many people inside the restaurant. Today, they closed the drive-thru and only allowed 20 people at a time inside. Tempers were short, and customers said employees were rude. This was a gracious offer on the part of Oprah and KFC. But I don’t see how any restaurant could handle the tidal wave of customers without additional help. It just left bad feelings between customers and employees. Too bad.
Posted by: Linda | May 7, 2009, 4:33 pm 4:33 pm
KFC in San Antonio, Texas would not honor the coupons. Even though there were lines at the registers, they did not tell us or post a sign saying they would not honor the coupons. Instead, they made us wait in line then at the register we were told they would not honor it. What a rip off, they used Oprah and just wanted to get people in. Once in people were hungry by the time they got to the register that they just paid for thier food. I HATE KFC AND I AM BOYCOTTING THEM AGAIN. I went two and a half years without eating thier food so it can be done.

It was very disappointing to see a family leave because they could not afford a meal. It was more dissappointing to see their childrens faces. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!

Went to KFC the other day and did not get any free chicken, did not take coupon. False advertising.

I could not download these coupons I had wanted to give them to a group of my foster mothers and there was a problem with Adobe so nice idea but don’t make it so complicated next time. The family’s I work with have developmentally delayed adults in their homes.

Oh yeah…the KFC’s in our area did not run out of chicken…they had plenty….if you wanted to BUY it. What a RIPOFF??? Thanks Oprah…you tried!

I tried over and over again to get the coupon–kept telling me to install some coupon printer–never worked.

Posted by: mia b | May 8, 2009, 1:56 pm 1:56 pm
I have been told not to bother. I helped others print their coupons and got mine. I love how they are saying that Oprah bought us chicken. If it was paid for then why isn’t it there. It is a shame that Oprah foolishly put her name on it but this is a big KFC farce and should be held accountable. They gave a short window to print them and then a short time to redeem them. This was all the fault of KFC. Someone posted PETA was mad at Oprah well calm down because KFC is on your side and looks like they are saving the birds.
Posted by: TS | May 8, 2009, 7:55 pm 7:55 pm
The coupon from KFC is a scam. KFC wanted to get your address and email for future promotions. “suddenly” the coupons are no good because KFC’s techology (my own printer) was false. Yeah, sure. It was always going to be a scam. Oprah should be ashamed and should run an expose and should apologize to us, her fans, for being a accompice in the scam, even if unknowlingly. She should “roast” KFC

There is nothing compassionate about feeding humans other dead animals. Oprah should be ashamed of herself. There are much better food and healthier options that are available to help the poor and needy, than to promote the atrocities committed against another living species.

Wow, big surprise-whiny Americans complaining about not getting something that was offered for FREE. This has nothing to do with Oprah-she only endorsed it, she didn’t GIVE this to you. Get over it, it is a crappy fast food meal that costs $3.99. If you wanted it so bad, maybe you should have PAID for it. I feel bad for the managers and the poor people working the counters.
Posted by: Marie | May 9, 2009, 1:02 pm 1:02 pm
We were able to use our coupons on that first day and then I was able to use one more coupon the following morning.. but after that all the KFC’s had their signs up. Disappointing, because they are supposed to be good until May 19th. Well on Mother’s Day, El Pollo Loco was honoring these coupons, and I must say I was more pleased with their meal than KFC’s. Way better!!! Thanks El Pollo Loco!

I printed out 4 KFC free meal coupons and went to cash in 1 at the KFC in Orange Park FL. I was told that due to the huge demand they would’nt be able to honor the free coupon at this time. There were 2 cars in the parking lot and an entire tray of grilled chicken in the clear case behind the person telling me they didnt have enough chicken!! I asked what if I wanted to buy some grilled chicken and she said then I could have some. I was told that I have to fill out a form, giving my name and address and attach my coupon to the back and another coupon would be mailed to me at a later time. Wow so KFC is going to try and recoupe some of its losses be selling millions of names to ad companys!! I filled out the form but made up a fake name with my address just to see how much junk mail I will get with the bogus name

hi my name is tonya i work for a kfc in bloomington illinois ive been with my store for about 5 years. i have never witness any thing like that sense the projects was giving out government lunch program for the poor.my problem was that wre im from majority of thec free coupons went yo the wether peopple wich is the rich people who hade at least 5 to 6 coupons at a time.if you were going to promote something make sure that every one have a chance to eat kfc too.including the poor side of the town including homeless people to.those two days was the worse day of my life the whole 5 years i been ther i have never exsperience any thing like that. i work 6 days ourt of week and my arms sill havent recover from making 10 dinners at a time and passing them out.it was a good thiog it just was thrown on the employee’s all over the world at once.at least she can try to visit every one who work for kfc and thank us becuase we did a dam good job for something that was thrown on us at the last minute.

This is a Freaking scam. Oprah should do somthing about it. I am really really upset. I took my 1 coupon and they flat out told me they can not honer it. Not good for KFC reputation.
Posted by: Frank | May 11, 2009, 2:00 pm 2:00 pm
WHAT a scam! KFC got the free press for their new product by claiming to be giving something away but then offering a coupon for a “later” date. When I went to the restaurant, employees claimed that they couldn’t tell real coupons from fakes. KFC designed the coupons and chose to distribute them online, but their employees can’t tell the real thing from a fake. I think KFC is a fake — hofefully their scam will get as much press as the “free” offer!

GOD Bless you! Thank you so much Oprah I was able to print the coupons sheet but was so excxited to get the coupons so that I could help this young women with three childrens who was living in her car, with no place to sleep I didn’t print the actual coupons. Is there anyway you or your staff could help me with this serious matter
Posted by: Deloris | May 12, 2009, 8:22 am 8:22 am
What a scam. “We can’t give you a free meal because of the overwhelming demand.”
“OK, well hold on, let me see what I want to order.”
“Oh we have the two piece grilled meals, but you’re going to have to pay for it.”
“But I thought you said overwhelming demand….”
“Yes, you can still get it free, but you have to mail in a paper with your name on it….”
UNTHINK KFC!!!! They made it very easy.

What a scam to get you to come in and buy chicken!
They should have known there would be a rush for something free and they should have been ready.
They try to make it up to us by adding a free soft drink to the rain check coupon.
Oprah should be ashamed for endorsing such a disaster!
I won’t watch her and I won’t eat KFC anymore!!!!

Posted by: krystal | May 13, 2009, 8:12 pm 8:12 pm
Giveth but Taketh Away! No one needs anything free in this world because nothing is free as demonstrated by the promo. I could not be an employee and tell someone that the coupon can not be honored because the demand is overwhelming(with trays of the free grilled chicken in the background). A company that forces their employees to lie to customers that have supported them for years should be aware of karma.
Posted by: Naturally | May 14, 2009, 7:33 am 7:33 am
My husband and i went to the Palm Harbor KFC on Saturday, May 9th. They would not honor the coupon at all.

I agree – this is a scam. We had valid coupons and went to my KFC in Plano. They had the chicken but would not honor the coupon. We were told to come inside and fill out a raincheck. Rainchecks are for when you are out of product! Decided not to purchase anything there and went across the street and enjoyed chicken from Chick-Fil-A! KFC lost another customer!

What a scam – my sons and I printed two coupons, went to KFC and the sign on the door said “raincheck”. Inside they gave me another form to complete and mail in, so a raincheck would be mailed to me. And then WHAT ? A raincheck for the raincheck, if I ever finally get a coupon that will work ? My family and I will go to Jewel Osco for chicken.
